An update on Minnesota:

ICE is still here. They've just moved to the suburbs where they're less likely to be noticed while they continue to commit abhorrent kidnappings.

We are adapting our patrols to continue trying to keep our neighbors safe.

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

2026 basically

if you love both a) hit mmorpg final fantasy fourteen and b) good vibes at a nerd convention, then you have to go to gateway fate. i don't make the rules. it's a truly amazing con with a lot of heart and i'm so so excited to go back this year

Gotta power thru, then long weekend 😌

Using my lunch break to nap 😴

I also love a lil blue guy

I’m just going to say again and again that the ice situation in Minnesota has not changed. because someone wasn’t publicly executed in the past week all the news outlets have moved onto something else. Communities are coming together and getting more organized because no one is coming to save us ✌️

THANK YOU💙THANK YOU💙THANK YOU💙THANK YOU

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Excellent article!

For those who can, here are links to donate directly to local efforts on the ground resisting ICE's terrorizing of Minneapolis. Let me know what you donated to where, and I'll match it until I get a panicked call from my bank!

It's the PTO moms and spreadsheet dads and other random-ass Minnesotans concerned for their neighbors. There is no one central organizing org, just a ton of people who give a shit. It's both beautiful that it's happening and laughable that anyone thinks there's some broader apparatus at work.

There had to have been hundreds of vigils around the twin cities tonight, helicopters harmonizing as we sang. [a group of people stand around a snow pile of candles] The candles are still burning.

Another day in minneapolis.

January 24, 2026 at 1:34 PM Jeff Day Sources identify man shot as Alex Jeffrey Pretti of south Minneapolis The man fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis this morning has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, according to sources familiar with the investigation. Pretti, 37, has an address listed in south Minneapolis. At a news conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the man who was shot was a 37-year-old white man with no serious criminal history and a record that showed some parking tickets. Law enforcement sources said Saturday their records show Pretti had no serious criminal history. O'Hara said the man was a “lawful gun owner” with a permit. Records show that Pretti attended the University of Minnesota. State records show Pretti was issued a nursing license in 2021, and it remains active through March 2026.

If you somehow havent seen the news, ICE killed another person in broad daylight. It’s getting increasingly difficult to not fall to despair or catastrophizing posting. If you’re outside Minnesota and would like to help, please donate to an organization here: standwithminnesota.com

Repost. If I had a nickel for every hosptial scene I've done #aceattorney

The first time I witnessed someone get abducted was Sunday, December 14th, 2025. ICE left behind his wife and an infant child in the car. The family was going to church. "We pulled over, but then they told us they would take us too if we did anything. We have our own baby in the back seat." None of us knew what to do. No one tells you how useless you feel when someone is taken.

The next abduction I witnessed was a couple weeks later. Both times, I hadn't even gotten out of bed yet when I heard the whistles. I was better at responding the second time. There's not a lot you can do except make noise and be annoying. I'm good at being annoying. At this point, being annoying is liable to get you shot or tear gassed or blinded. It is what it is.

Focusing on anything but the occupation has been difficult. That's what I've come to call it now--an occupation. What else do you call a bunch of soldier bullies driving around the streets trying to find people to kidnap? I try to be more present for my friends and neighbors. "Hey, do you have some time to drop off some donations this weekend?" "Yeah, I'll do a Costco run!" "I've got some blankets and coats to donate." "I can come pick them up tomorrow! You guys need anything from the store?"

"Is anyone available to watch the bus stop?" "I can!" [An image of two people at a bus stop. They're both wearing whistles.] A news article clipping: ICE detains 4 Colombia Heights students, including 5- and 10-year-olds sent to Texas. Colombia Heights Public Schools leaders addressed the ICE surge into the district, saying the community is "shattered." And they say they're "catching criminals." Sure.
