Pulled up next to this guy on central going south in Columbia heights, followed him, they turned around, got on 694, crossed the river, and went straight to my house in Brooklyn center.

The animating force at the heart of US conservatism currently is incandescent rage at the mere idea of women's autonomy and independence. An image of a smiling woman who looks insufficiently deferential for their tastes riles them up enough to tear up the social contract.
this is all it’s really about for them. Not domestic policy, not “economic anxiety”, just an endless desire to punish stand-ins for the Mommy who forced them take a bath, even if it tanks their own quality of life.

This is an occupation. They don’t need an excuse to “institute martial law.” They already have.
Someone sent me this video of Trump’s goons in action today in the Twin Cities. The audio is disturbing.

it takes a lot to surprise me, but: Jesus christ
This slogan adopted by Kristi Noem, "One of Ours, All of Yours," is taken from the Nazis, who retaliated for the killing of an SS officer by murdering all the inhabitants of the Czech village of Lidice, apparently none of whom had anything to do with it, and razing the village to the ground.

If the government (Mayor Frey) is willing to admit that bigger guns is the reason they won’t do anything against ICE, isn’t that admitting the civil war and violent attack has already started? Why won’t anyone admit this?

Overheard in the crowd, a mother explaining to her young child who is holding a cymbal: "Do you remember? This is the same road we marched on for George Floyd. Another man who was killed."

This is Minneapolis:
My 7yo found a bag of whistles and asked if they could have one.
I said yes, but explained what they’re for and that they’re not a toy right now.
I got more work done then came downstairs to find they’d labeled an old tic tac container like this for their whistle.

You know how umbrella salesman form out of the first raindrops to hit the sidewalk in NYC? Well, in Minnesota, when you get stuck in the snow, people with snow shovels just appear out of the snow drifts to help out.
Unless your a bunch of fascist nazi bigots, of course, then fuck you.

This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

The Minneapolis pastor had observed "ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic" and insisted they take him instead of harassing her. An agent then “came, got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, ‘Are you afraid now?’” trib.al/k06XIZQ

Whats so hard about this? Do your jobs even if it is difficult.
Ellison: "State authorities can investigate anyway. We don't need their authority. It's at least arguable that there's a violation of MN statues here. All of them depend on an investigation though. And the federal govt can't stop MN from doing it's own, but I would hope it wouldn't come to that."

Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions
FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

![In 2020, when she went by Renée Nicole Macklin, she won the prestigious Academy of American Poets Prize for a poem called
"On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs," which begins:
i want back my rocking chairs, solipsist sunsets,
& coastal jungle sounds that are tercets from cicadas and pentameter from the hairy legs of cockroaches.
i've donated bibles to thrift stores
(mashed them in plastic trash bags with an acidic himalayan salt lamp—
the post-baptism bibles, the ones plucked from street corners from the meaty hands of zealots, the dumbed-down, easy-to-read, parasitic kind):
remember more the slick rubber smell of high gloss biology textbook pictures; they burned the hairs inside my nostrils,
& salt & ink that rubbed off on my palms.
