We have citizen patrols checking empty cars like this for children and animals that were left behind in the negative temps because that’s where we are at as a society.

I would like a comment option that requires people to read all 4 skeets in a very short string before replying, instead of reading only the first one and immediately replying with "Nuh-UH!" or an explanation that ignores the entire point.

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!

![Comic. My experience seeing the Northern Lights: [Graph: x axis is increasing time, y axis is increasing aurora coolness, going from visible glow on the horizon, color only visible in photos -> sheets and pillars of light, colors faintly visible -> “oh wow, it’s getting really bright now.” -> spectacular ribbons of color spanning the sky and illuminating the landscape. Graph shows dips and peaks over many hours with the topmost peeks for only around 5 or 10 minutes.] [caption] Aurora tip: If you get good views of the aurora, keep watching the sky; you might suddenly get great ones.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreiaobzgmrzo7wpvwm3z7h334szdf42salbn6skjuhfcxgsoeu7qjya@jpeg)

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

If Dems want to look tough on crime they could really start by not funding violent criminals.
"Should we vote to give more money to the people shooting my constituents in the face?" is not a complicated political question. And yet, Democrats don't seem able to answer it.

We used to joke about the rich white guys in bars who'd stir shit up, then say "my dad's a LAWYER", as if bragging about running to Daddy as a full grown adult somehow made them look tough.

Watching Terminator, and it doesn't get more '80s. Bit of a punch, though, to realize we were starving ourselves just to be coat racks for granny outfits.

It doesn't mean a whole lot for me as a work-from-home, but I'm shutting down, and looking for my protest.
Look who just endorsed the January 23 Minnesota-wide shutdown to protest the federal assault! “No work, no school, no shopping.”

My dog most days: Mother. MOTHER. Have you had lunch? I think you have not had lunch. (she wants lunch, but it's still helpful).
Yesterday: Mother. MOTHER. It is cold.
Me: It's not that cold, it's fine. Here's another blanket.
Her: No, it is very cold. MOTHER.
Me: *sigh*

I'd be curious if the protesters at the ICE-church were also christians, because if so, this seems to boil down more to liturgical debate, and a lot cooler headed than that of the theoretical god-son of christianity, Jesus Table-flippin' Christ.
