I was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota.

If you have places for me to add, please DM me.

Like Elon, another dumb guy pretending to be a smart guy. Also the 8th funniest person on News Radio. TBH, when you go back and watch his work there...he wasn't acting. That was just him being him.
The defining feature of Rogan and his ilk is knowing nothing about things but talking about them anyway, saying things that sounds smart to other people who don’t know anything about them.

It’s good he is catching on but damned of his and our collective ignorance haven’t run us off a cliff.

Raiding Walmart. Here are the current open jobs at the Detroit Lakes Wallmart. This should end well.

keep thinking of this @jumaane.bsky.social quote while seeing regular people line the streets of minneapolis to protect their neighbors.
NYC Public Advocate @jumaane.bsky.social: “There are tens of thousands of people whose names we will never know who stood up and was the light in the dark times that got us through.”

Where is the business community and corporate leaders of Minnesota based companies in speaking up? Why aren't the big law firms sending lawyers to represent the people being attacked?

We are not at the end of this authoritarianism, we are at the beginning. And, sadly, we are on our own.

Pete trying to copy Elon, not realizing Elon is a dumb guy pretending to be a smart guy. Pete is exactly who the dumb guys pretending to be a smart guys attract.
Pete Hegseth: "We can no longer afford to wait a decade for our legacy prime contractors to deliver a perfect system. Winning requires a new playbook. Elon Musk wrote it with his algorithm. Question every requirement, delete the dumb ones, and accelerate like hell."

Someone earlier posted about if you lose St Cloud...this is Mankato. The same could be said.
Mankato City Council members adjourned their meeting tonight as a crowd of 300+ called on them to do more against ICE.

"We're not changing the rules; we're ensuring that federal officers are subject to the same ones as local and state officers. And if they're following the law, this won't change anything."

One would think that would be a relatively straightforward pitch...

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.

If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

By the way. Senators have a huge influence on who is the next US Attorney for Minnesota.

The DFL senate nominee must to commit to ensuring the next US Attorney will investigate and prosecute every crime ICE commits.

Prepping the prosecutions begins now.
Dear ICE agents, read up on your statutes of limitations for federal prosecution:

Violation of civil rights: 5 years.

Violation of civil rights involving physical harm: 7 years.

Violation of civil rights involving kidnapping: no statute of limitations.

Some of y’all going to prison eventually.

I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.
ICE recruitment is going well.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

i do think it has to be jarring for these racist ICE goons who were fed a steady diet of lies that Minneapolis was a violent Somali-run, crime-ridden city have been met with thousands of normie white people taking to the streets to defend their neighbors.

Finally, a way to find out what the Bible really is trying to tell us.
i was being dumb and quoting leviticus 19:33-34 to a facebook MAGA grandma, and she told me that she took the passage, a direct quote from Jesus about treating immigrants as your brother and asked grok if it was applicable to modern immigrants and grok said no.
