Minnesotans have not resorted to violence because we understand the stakes and that facing off against state power with guns is a loser's bet.
MAGA is baffled because they lack the vision, and the capacity for compassion that we're showing the US and the world.

I feel like we are purposely being pushed to the brink. He wants war in the streets, he wants to stop any elections. I’m seeing people seeking guns and training. Everyday the horrors against humans seem worse than the day before. I can’t help but feel that this is all orchestrated.

ICE just doubled its workforce. But the real weapon isn't manpower - it's a hunting app that assigns confidence scores to human beings.

At this time of year, many prickly pear pads in the high desert turn red or even purple. The change is due to substances created by the prickly pears to help resist the harsh winter conditions. Photo taken in the west foothills of the Sandias on February 2, 2026.

After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.
But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:

A good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together — organizers, reporters, and those who care — and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.

Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”

I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.
