pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris #Madel drop from race for #MN governor:

"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."
Republican Chris Madel made a stunning exit from the Minnesota governor's race on Jan. 26, saying he cannot support the national GOP's "stated retribution on the citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so." In a surprise video announcement, the Minneapolis attorney said he supported the originally stated goals of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's operation in Minnesota, including the deportation of undocumented immigrants with serious criminal records, but the effort has "expanded far beyond its stated focus on true public safety threats." "United States citizens, particularly those of color, live in fear. United States citizens are carrying papers to prove their citizenship. That's wrong," Madel said.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Find ways to funnel your anger into things that help, whatever that looks like for you.

Purple cardstock earring backing card that says be gay do non-election crimes. Has a line art drawing of a possum screaming on it. Pic of 13 sets of earrings and three pendant and earring sets on cards and in plastic bags. They’re styled to look like rainbow layered drinks and trans flag ice cream cups Blue tiny resin bottle earrings with labels that say De-icer, concentrated. They’re on a yellow backing card that says be gay do non-election crimes with a drawing of a screaming possum. Two small wooden boxes holding bagged sets of carded earrings. One set is on yellow cards and styled to look like tiny bottles of de-icer. The other box holds purple carded sets that look like tiny rainbow desserts in cups and bowls.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT [a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision] "In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

I‘m discontinuing my social media use for the foreseeable future and I want to explain why.

I woke up in the new year to discover that some guy on here had saved photos I took on New Year’s Eve and used Grok to remove my clothes. I know this because he showed me.

One way that the reaction to Rob Reiner's murder mirrors Charlie Kirk's is that the best way to eulogize each of them is to quote their words, and in both cases, doing so pisses off conservatives.
