Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

I’m a Minneapolis resident, and I’ve never been asked what I think about rural Minnesota
NYTimes has truly outdone itself with this latest in its "ask white guys in diner" genre. Thank goodness we get a perspective on what's happening in Minneapolis from people in **Nisswa** who probably mean Brainerd when they say they "prefer not to go the city anymore" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

Working-age depressionistas: you’re in!
My college cigar makes me a former smoker.
My current running regimen is far less than it used to be, so I’m calling it physical inactivity.
But it’s insane that these games have to be played for access to effective vaccines 🤬🤬🤬

“A shooting has occurred” funny how it’s always passive voice when we are talking about murder as if it just floated along on the air current and wasn’t an active choice

Minnesota governor says a shooting has occurred at a Minneapolis school
Authorities say a shooting has erupted during the first week of classes at a Minneapolis Catholic school. There was no immediate information on any injuries. Gov.
