Saw someone PERFECTLY describe J.D. Vance's trying-too-hard-to-be-internet-edgelord personality as "the first adult groomed by teens" and I'd add that he's also trying to fully embody 'Divorced Guy Energy' while remaining married.

ILLEGAL SNOW ART
Team USA snow sculpture in Stillwater removed over ICE out' messaging Event organizers received phone calls and complaints about the sculpture Team USA's snow sculpture "Call to Arms" was removed from Lowell Park on Monday, Jan. 26, 2026. (Courtesy of Makwa Studio) By MARY DIVINE | mdivine@pioneerpress.com | Pioneer Press PUBLISHED: January 28, 2026 at 2:34 PM CST | UPDATED: January 28, 2026 at 2:59 PM CST Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... A sculpture designed by Team USA for the World Snow Sculpting Championship in downtown Stillwater has been removed by officials citing changes made by the sculptors in response to recent federal immigrant enforcement. The original design, as submitted to competition officials, featured a sphere of outstretched hands. It was called "A Call to Arms." But the team of sculptors, which includes St. Paul artist Dusty Thune and teammates Dan Belcher and Josh Jakubowski, decided during the festival in Lowell Park to add peace signs and hand gestures using American Sign Language. Among the messages spelled out in ASL: "ICE out," "love," "unity" and "resist." Anthony-Evenson, who knows ASL, said the hands spelled out "ICE out" by using the sign for "ice" and the "resistance fist." "It was very creatively done, and it was not very easy to read," she said. "You had to look at it very carefully to notice it, but clearly it was noticed. We appreciated the positive messaging that we did see like 'love' and 'peace,' but at the end of the day, the sculpture was modified from the submitted design. The submitted design had open fingers." Unnecessary and divisive' In a letter to Thune dated Jan. 20, Anthony-Evenson, Stillwater Mayor Ted Kozlowski and World Snow Celebration Co-Chair Sara Jespersen expressed their "deep disappointment" regarding the team's actions. "As you were made aware, the rules governing this international competition are explicit: political symbols, statements, or messaging of any kind are strictly prohibited," they wrote. "Despite this clear policy, inappropriate content was incorporated into your sculpture. This was not an oversight. It was a conscious decision, and it was a selfish one." The letter went on to say Team USA's actions negatively impacted event organizers, required financial resources to address and damaged the partnership with a nonprofit sponsor. "At a time when unity and mutual respect are more important than ever, introducing this type of messaging into this forum was unnecessary and divisive," the letter said.

Minneapolis Proved Something MAGA Can’t Accept: Most People Are Actually Virtuous
There's a line buried in Adam Serwer's recent Atlantic piece on the Minneapolis resistance to ICE that deserves to be pulled out, examined, and posted on every lamppost in America: The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch.

It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday
Eyewitness account: Good morning, My name is Brandon Siguenza, and l am a US citizen from Minneapolis. Yesterday, while doing legal observation, ICE stopped their cars to harass my friend and me. They sprayed pepper spray into the vent of our vehicle. We held our hands in the air and told them we were not obstructing, that the car was in park and they were free to drive forward and away. There was no active immigration raid. They returned to their cars, and drove forward a bit, then decided to stop again. They surrounded us, smashed the windows of our car, opened the doors (they were unlocked), ripped my friend and I out of the car and arrested us on charges of obstruction. I was put in an unmarked SUV, separated from my friend. As I was put in the back seat an ICE agent tore the whistle off my neck and said "I'll be taking this, I might need it later." My phone was knocked out of my hand while being arrested. As we drove away I asked the driver and the passenger if they wouldn't mind buckling my seatbelt, as they were driving erratically. I was ignored. I asked them if I could have the handcuffs loosened, as I was losing circulation, and was told no. At one point the passenger realized his own driver's license was in the backseat next to mine, and tried to surreptitiously grab it without me seeing it. We were taken to the Whipple federal building, where I saw dozens of brown people being processed in an unheated garage. I was frisked, told of my charges, and saw buses and vans being prepped. I later learned that these were being filled with detainees and driven to the airport for deportation. As we were led in, I noticed that the building was very busy. I got the impression that one of the 2 agents bringing me around was being trained. At multiple points throughout my stay, government agents were unable to open doors, not sure where they were meant to be going, and overall confused and overwhelmed. They couldn't figure out how to use the building phones, or complai…

Since 20 June 2025, consumers are now able to benefit from smartphones and tablets that are both longer-lasting and more easily repairable thanks to new rules. It also makes it much easier to choose more durable phones, thanks to a new energy label with repairability and reliability score.
Here's how longer-lasting smartphones will soon become a reality
New EU rules mean longer-lasting smartphones and tablets will soon become a reality as well as being more easily repairable.

Well, well, well. It turns out more voters blame fossil fuels than renewable energy for high electricity prices—and the most voters, correctly, blame utilities.

So if they promote more fossil fuels to lower costs, @mattyglesias.bsky.social, Dems will fail to campaign on voters' *actual* positions.
Voters Most Blame Utility Companies for Higher Electric Utility Bills Who or what do you think is most responsible for higher electric utility bills? Utility companies increasing profits 38% Increased energy demand from new industries (like Al) %14 Extreme weather events causing higher energy demand 11% Aging or inadequate energy infrastructure 10% Foreign conflicts limiting energy supply 9% Increased reliance on fossil fuels 8% Increased reliance on wind and solar energy 5% Something else [please specify] 5% September 19-22, 2025 survey of 1,361 U.S. likely voters DATA FOR PROGRESS

I have seen multiple ICE vehicles at an MPD precinct in my neighborhood and around town literally today. They’re openly patrolling solo and alongside MPD.
climatebrad.hillheat.com Brad Johnson @climatebrad.hillheat.com · Oct 2
The @washingtonpost.com's Emma Uber & @teoarmus.bsky.social caught @mayorbowser.dc.gov in a bald-faced lie. On Tuesday, she said "ICE is not patrolling with MPD." Confronted that day with video of ICE patrolling with MPD and abducting people handed to them by MPD, she was forced to change her tune.
During an unrelated news conference Tuesday, when asked to clarify what was happening on the ground between D.C. police and ICE, Bowser said, “I am aware of what’s been happening on the ground and ICE is not patrolling with MPD.” In follow-up comments later in the day to The Post, Bowser reiterated that D.C. police were not on patrol with federal immigration authorities. “Ask federal immigration, don’t ask us ... they’re not patrolling with us,” she said. “MPD is not giving the federal government anybody.” The Post shared the videos, police report and DHS statements with the mayor’s office on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the mayor acknowledged that D.C. police have been patrolling with immigration authorities, saying “We never wanted MPD to patrol with Homeland Security agencies, but they are part of the task force, and that should change.” (The Department of Homeland Security includes ICE, Customs and Border Protection, and Homeland Security Investigations.)

🌍🚨 We cannot solve the climate crisis without demand-side solutions!

The @ipcc.bsky.social is crystal clear: changing what we demand and how we live could reduce global emissions by 40–70% by 2050. This is not a marginal add-on. It must be at the heart of climate policy🧵
