Not that I exactly had any plans, but looks like I won’t be getting up for a while.

I feel like an @nytpitchbot.bsky.social headline at this point would be something like "Donald Trump fulfills another campaign promise by returning public executions. - by Ezra Klein".

Adjusted for more likely situation: If Nancy Mace completely made up being assaulted by a Biden supporter, with no witnesses and no evidence, it would be a week-long news cycle.
If Nancy Mace was assaulted by a Biden supporter, it would be a week-long news cycle and every Democrat in Congress would be asked if they approve or disapprove

The worse impact this clown administration has had for me personally has been to make me totally question my faith in people. There are points many days I just want to cry with so many willing to be cruel, corrupt racist, and blatantly lie.

Things like this keep hope alive.
in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Fell asleep at 8:30 last night, so up at 4:30 here today. Perfect day for it too since it's absolutely balmy out there.

I'm a hemophiliac with 4%-5% normal Factor VIII level. I would have to forcibly slam my hand against a table to get a bruise like that. "Bumping" a table wouldn't even register a visible bruise for me.
i know old people bruise easily but like getting that from "clipping it" idk man

My poor driveway that I just cleared this morning. Top recorded gust is 35, but I guarantee you we’ve had at least 45 as it funnels down this ridge.

I really don’t want to re-clear my driveway at like -15 tomorrow.a

This admin will never stop until it faces actual consequences. Court orders at this point have been the equivalent of telling your kid he can't have any candy before dinner and then never doing anything as they down candy bar after candy bar right in front of you.
Remember that one time when a court ordered ICE to stop doing this and people were like "see the system is working calm down" and then ICE ignored them completely and kept doing the same shit

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Ever check clearsky block stats just be left confused? Like I was blocked 4 hours ago by kathoc.bsky.social and it was when I...posted a couple of videos of the puppers??

Maybe it's a bot account or they are using some sort of auto-block as they blocked a bunch at the same time.

The slow roll fire dance when the wood stove is operating with it’s catalyst can get mesmerizing to watch.

Can someone such as @kenwhite.bsky.social tell me what he (or she) could possibly be detained for here? Seems outside their perimeter and they don't have authority to make a traffic related arrest.

Seems like they just hated being mocked by a dancing fox.
Outside of the Bishop Henry Whipple Building in Minneapolis a person dancing in a fox costume is arrested by the MPD. Protests have been consistent outside of this building since the ramped up ICE presence.

Apparently I really do need to get him something soft to lay on in front of the wood stove.

It's sad to say this about the U.S, but it will probably be similar to when the Olympics or WC were in places like China, Russia, Qatar, where they will pause things to play nice and pretend to be a country with democratic norms.

I hope that we get boycotts though.

Look at this fluffy snow. The dachshunds, however, are still not amused.

Stretch of very cold weather coming here, so got the garage restocked, including so extra in the wheelbarrow. No venturing out into the cold.

He has discovered he can get really warm in front of the wood stove.
