Due North

eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor is it known unto the human heart, the magnitude of hate Pope Leo has for JD Vance specifically

*Does* anyone know where the love of god goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours, or nah?

A square burgundry graphic with "SAVE THE DATE" at the top in like a serial killer scrapbook collage font. below it is a sassy green rat with a crown and a smirk and his hands on his hips. The text says: The Poster's Madness Rat King Special 2026 A Fundraiser For Mutual Aid Supporting Communities Under Attack Tuesday, February 24th 8:30 - 11 pm EST (5:30 - 8 pm PST)

ATTENTION BLUESKY

you don't want to watch the State of the Union next week

you want to watch a PowerPoint party telethon of your favorite Bluesky super posters delivering their most unhinged hot takes to raise money for mutual aid in Twin Cities and Portland

Poster's Madness for a good cause!!!!

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

there is an extremely simple answer to the "abandon trans rights" folks and it is "no" and also "fuck you"

a group of soldiers are standing in a row wearing helmets and armor . Alt: A clip from the movie Starship Troopers, in which a young behelmeted woman standing in formation turns to the camera and says "I'm doing my part!" Her part being enlisting in fictional future Earth's military, and not contributing to Minnesota's overall alcohol consumption. Which is the part that I'm doing.

*eyeballs the bottle of Leinie's on my desk* Welp.

Counting down the days to the Saints home opener.

There's two Minneapolis troops on the list that can't set up booths this season because of *gestures to everything* and at least one scout that's raising to donate to Minnesota troops. Also there's a new rocky-road flavored cookie.

Rocky. Road.

2026 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From! This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

Huge announcement: Girl Scouts on our trans girl scout cookies list have sold 250,000!!!!!! Boxes of girl scout cookies, a record for EITM's trans girl scout cookie drive.

Some have only sold 20 boxes though. I put those at the top of the list.

Lets close out this season and make their day! :)

Economic Response Fund Grant Guidelines Small businesses in Minnesota that have experienced operational disruptions in recent weeks may now apply for emergency financial support through the Economic Response Fund.

I'm going to promote the heck out of this:

The Minneapolis Foundation has $4 million in grants available to small businesses for everything from rent and payroll costs to legal help and temporary relocation.

More details and the application here: www.minneapolisfoundation.org/stories/comm...

Attempted to explain the Spongmonkeys to Stepkid today. I had emphasized that they were crudely animated. I do not think I emphasized it enough.

Donate to Haven Watch MN – Support at the gate, care beyond it, organized by Haven Watch Haven Watch was created to help individuals released from ICE detenti… Haven Watch needs your support for Haven Watch MN – Support at the gate, care beyond it

As always, donate if you can and boost if you can't.

Detainees are walking out in t-shirts and pajamas in the MN winter, unable to speak English, with no money, I.D., or resources, and Haven cares for them.

It ain’t over til Minnesota has ICE’s battle flag

Four football officials standing with their backs to the camera. The letter on each officials striped shirt spells out "BRUH" which I feel is a reasonable reaction to this article.

I dug this out of my old backups just for you.

80's cartoon villain Skeletor, pointing and saying "Joke's on you I'm into that shit"

The teacher who molested me when I was 12 was a nice, well-respected guy too.

There comes a time in everyones life when they have to reckon with the knowledge that the monsters in our midst look and act like regular people. You're lucky to have come to that moment much later than I did.

*stares at Chief O'Hara*

without and despite the elite institutions that were supposed to serve as guardrails, this country is standing up and saying fuck no to the fascists

and there are so, so many more of us than there are of them

Oh thank god and all the heavenly saints.
(The order itself is only three pages and every one of them is packed with Judge Biery's rage.)

Because it's a lie. They haven't slowed down in MN at all, now they're staking out schools (because kids can't fight back) and shifting to smaller towns outstate where there's fewer witnesses and less support than in the metro area.

I am once again angered that all evil people are not smart Hannibal Lectors but are much more malevolent Beavises

it's like SUPER cold for North Carolina today but I went to the farmer's market and on the way back I saw people 10+ years my senior, which is saying something, holding up NO ICE protest signs and I said hey fantastic job it's cold and they said "not as cold as in Minneapolis" blessed people

A set of four cake pops that read HAPPY VALENTINES DAY; The first has H, VA, and D; The second has A LEN A; the third has PP TIN Y; the last has Y ES <3. A cartoon below shows a very sad hamster holding up the one that reads PP TINY

I have been laughing at this for a solid five minutes.

Don't believe a word of it, they haven't de-escalated even a little. They're staking out bus stops and schools and harassing food shelf volunteers now. This corrupt meatball will be just as bad as the manlet, he'll just be sneakier about it.

'This cannot continue': 100 hunger relief groups call for end to ICE surge in Minnesota "It's really hard when the helpers are the ones who are getting targeted as well."

"We have reports of ICE staging in parking lots or near food shelves, potentially following people who are making deliveries, and so the fear and anxiety is real," she said.
