If you are angry today, as I am, maybe toss the $5-6 you would have spent on a latte at your favorite coffee shop during this blizzard to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.
Tangibly help the people helping protect communities in Minneapolis, rather than using anger to feed the trolls online.

BlueSky won’t let me share the video, but you can see one of the ICE agents rip a gun out of this man’s waistband *before* the shooting starts.
From this angle, it’s hard to see how this was anything but an execution, unless simply carrying a gun is now illegal in America.

We are searching for the woman in a red jacket who captured the ICE situation on video. We heard she was taken by federal agents. If anyone has updates, let us know.

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times,
up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny
also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

Yep, here's the Iowa State team we've come to know... Let's see how many more FTs we can miss too.

What a ridiculous call. A run pitch option from the FB against the #1 rush defense in the league, after we were just stonewalled. Also Seattle should not have been granted that TO. This game is already getting me heated.

If we just go through the entire conference schedule with the cycle of getting down big in the first half, getting close within the first 4 mins of the second half, before falling completely off a cliff for the rest of the game, I'm going to lose my mind. It's not fun to watch this team anymore.

So, we went from being legitimately considered a #1 tournament seed, to losing by double digits to teams like 9-8 Cincinnati... Why do we fall apart so hard in Big12 play? I know the conference is strong and it's hard to win on the road, but this is just ridiculous...
