At least it’s warm outside so I can sit in my car before going into work for a bit because idk how I’m gonna put up with the keyboard clacking and general coworker crap and zero motivation without my meds.

If you’re at the 45th parallel in the U.S. you’ll get a lot of reminders you’re there, especially at the 45-90 marker near Wausau, Wisconsin, the center of the NW Hemisphere. But as the 45 marker in Peshtigo, Wisconsin, tells you, you’re not actually midway between the Equator and the North Pole.
![A hard-to-read Latitude North 45 N marker on a stone near Peshtigo, Wisconsin. It reads:
Theoretical Half Way Point
North Pole [right arrow]
3117.55 miles
Equator [left arrow]
3097.39 miles
The spheroidal shape of the earth makes degrees of latitude in the north longer than in the south. The true half-way point between pole and equator on Highway 41 is marked 710 feet north of Menominee. On Highway 141 see marker 3/4 mile north of Beaver.

If you are out observing or rapid responding to ICE today, let them know that they’ve lost. Remind them that they’ve failed and they should go home and call a lawyer.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Also unironically the resolution barring former ICE or January 6thers from ever being law enforcement in Minnesota was very cool.

i talked to a journalist recently about the DFL training constitutional observers to prepare for caucus night in case ICE shows up and i said i bet most people caucusing are trained already because we’re civic minded and care about our neighbors
Worth noting as well that the knowledge and tactics taught at the trainings have, by this point, pretty deeply permeated among the broader public.
To some extent, wherever you go, most random passersby know what to do. People carry whistles with them, a big response can materialize out of nowhere.

That means ~815k Minnesotans participated in the shutdown and ~310k in the strike. That would make Minnesota’s January 23 general strike one of the largest in history.
A new poll finds that 1 in 4 Minnesota voters took part in the Jan 23 shutdown against ICE, or have a loved one who did. Of those, 38% DID NOT WORK, either because they made the choice to stay out, or their workplaces closed. By me, @thomasbirm.bsky.social, @bloomekatz.bsky.social
