With 2026 approaching, the inevitable "(blank) makes me feel old" are about to hit. Here's one:

On March 27, 2026, you could be sitting next to a young person in a bar in the United States of America, who is legally drinking, and they have never lived in a world were 'Grey's Anatomy' does not exist

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

I really hope someone out there is making "Minnesota NoICE" shirts & hats for people to wear with funds going to legal help for the many affected.

Congratulations to Russia and China.

You did it! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

USA will never be looked at as a trusted partner and ally in the world ever again, by any sane or decent country. You spent years propping up the idiot occupying the Whitehouse, and it is working.

This is Pinto. She was in foster when she began coughing and struggling to breathe. She was rushed to the ER, where vets found she had severe pneumonia. Without emergency hospitalization and oxygen support, she would have suffocated. Help her below ❤️‍🩹

In a dispatch from Minnesota, I want to talk about "Real Minnesota" and the failed, pathetic vision of Minnesota that Tom Emmer and City Church offer. I want to talk about how Real Minnesotans take care of strangers.

Tom Emmer and City Church will never understand Real Minnesotans

What is PUNK?
Being unapologetically compassionate.
Staying community-minded.

That’s why the Gigi Marie team will match proceeds going to survivors.org to DC Migrant Mutual Aid.

We play Feb 7th.
Your ticket helps us melt ICE.
Thank you.

The 🦓🦓🦓 obviously had an agenda from the start, but staring down the barrel of a 4th straight loss, the Wolves SHOULD have came out so ready to destroy, it wouldn't have mattered against a mediocre Bulls squad.
Complete & total failure on the coaching staff & player leadership on their home court.

Jim Jordan vs. Jamie Raskin reflects what’s going on in the country. Morons vs. patriots.

If the Wolves trade for Coby White, does that whistle come in the trade?

It would really be nice to see Bones have a demonstratively good game. One that eye test & box score match

Defunding is a start. When every current member of ICE is jailed on felony charges, that is when I'll actually believe the country is heading in the right direction.
AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

All I have ever heard about every news story from Bill Clinton to drag shows is “it’s awful, parents have to explain this to their children, why can’t we just let kids be kids?”

Now an entire classroom is going to go home to parents trying to explain why their five year friend was taken by the govt
Liam is one of four Columbia Heights, MN school district students who have been taken by ICE in the last two weeks, the school district said. Liam's teacher: “He is so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him. He ... just brightens the room. All I want is for him to be back here and safe.”

Brian Flores has signed a contract extension with the Vikings. If he does not receive a head coaching job this cycle, he will be back as the team’s defensive coordinator, per source.

Yes, it's ok to lose to bad teams once in a while. All teams do. It's not ok to do it when you've lost the previous 2 games.
