I've written a few books, and I like to rant about gender and hyperlocal Minneapolis politics. Thorn in the side of the DFL: abetterdfl.org. Cat Dad. They/them.

Called Tim Walz’s office and just shouted a half formed word vomit that ended in “where are you? Fucking do something.”

This: my vote will only go to the person with a plan for prosecution of the Trump administration and all the goons.
Nuremberg 2.0 or nothing. We're already enduring so much bullshit; there is no "return to normal."

to any politicians out there: the only metric by which i am deciding my votes in any future Democratic primary is how far they're willing to go in punishing this administration and i am far from the only one

Hey, a note as we head into a new week:
Hope is never misplaced and never wrong. Having hope for something means you haven't given into despair. Despair is what they are trying to create so that you give up.
But as long as we have hope for a better world, they cannot crush us.

IF YOU'RE SEEING COMPLACENCY, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S HANGING AROUND WITH THE WRONG PEOPLE
I see this take around from time to time and totally disagree. ICE just murdered a woman standing up to them. No Kings is among the largest protests in history.
The complacency is coming from elites in media, business, universities, and the Democratic leadership

The number I've been hearing is around $800,000, but that was a couple days ago so it's probably over a million now.

Here is what I would like to see reported - how much is the ICE action in Minnesota costing per day? And I mean total cost - transportation, vehicle rental, hotel, per diem, hazard pay, overtime pay, kristi noem's glam squad giving her hourly lip injections, etc. What is it costing us?

you know, maybe reader response theory is bad and some of you readers are just fucking incapable
Rightwing influencers are so bad at interpreting source material that they can only do it correctly by accident, when they're trying to make a joke

We are doing so fucking much.
The "Why aren't Americans doing anything?" posts are a case study in media manipulation and external propaganda. Because so many accounts claiming there are no protests are just bots

Disrespect now carries a death penalty. Got it.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

Celebrities showed their support for Renee Good at the Golden Globes on Sunday night. Mark Ruffalo, Wanda Sykes, Jean Smart and Natasha Lyonne wore white buttons that said “Be Good,” honoring the woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

If you do happen to have one, Moon Palace has helpful bumper stickers you can get for free to indicate that you're not ICE.
Would be tremendously funny if the Twin Cities became the small car capital of the world because no one wants to ever be mistaken for being an ICE dipshit.

tonight we renamed our trivia team to "Fuck ICE (Dex's Version)" and we got big cheers when we won
You know how when someone says "Peace be with you", you say "and also with you"? New version: when someone says "fuck ice"; you either say "fuck ice" or "absolutely".
Several people greeted me today with a smile, a nod, and "fuck ICE" — to which I awkwardly responded "yes," because I'm not comfortable using the F word with strangers on a public sidewalk.

I helped stopped ICE this morning. I literally drive around in silence now so I can hear if someone is whistling. Saw them grouped up around a car, pulled over, and immediately started blowing on my whistle. They (ICE) were all filming with their personal phones.
Trying to explain what it feels like in the Twin Cities right now to people who aren’t here and haven’t experienced this is genuinely crazy-making.

they're gonna be in fucking prison so i guess 50k in commissary and phone bills might help then
I just found out last night that the $50k enrollment bonus only pays out after 5 years of service, and reader, the laugh I let out when I read that woke the dog from across the house. These absolute fucking grapes aren't seeing a dime of that money. No way they can ride out 5 years of this job.
ICE recruitment is going well.

I keep seeing people saying that Renee Good was trying to do a 3pt turn. To be clear: she wasn’t. Portland is a one way street. There’s two driving lanes, a bike lane, and street parking on both sides. She was pulling out from street parking on the right side of the street.
