A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.

Marine on St Croix is a cute little village just up the river from the cities. Nice homes and shacks, farms and like five shops and two bars. Just came across folks from there organizing to get food to schools to get them to families who aren’t going out right now.

My last winter at college, I had several -teens days, and still remember thinking "why am I here??? should I be going to Health Services for frostbite??" during relatively brief spells outside. Today's action would be admirable in any weather, but truly next level under these circumstances.💜

This is a remarkable story. And so damn hopeful.
Have a larger story on this coming, but I’ve been embedded with this group, and this story from yesterday is part of what they’ve been doing in the city: religionnews.com/2026/01/22/h...

And just like that, the US has left the World Health Organization.

Link goes to the official announcement—lies pretending to justify a decision that will kill countless numbers—from people too stupid to even include a proper twittercard.

I know I keep posting about this but every time I check, the list gets longer and longer and longer. Hundreds and hundreds of places, everything from huge local institutions to small spots that will definitely struggle.

No exaggeration, it's the most astonishing act of solidarity I've ever seen.
there are a bunch of big names on this list, including multiple beard award winners, and some places i never would have guessed in a hundred years (the malt shop?!) and i'm genuinely floored and delighted to see so many participants

At a time when international order is under stress and alliances are buckling, in part due to its own actions, this irresponsible administration delivers yet another blow to our diplomatic preparedness.
