Be safe. I also saw reports they are taking people from the Costco parking lot, 7-11 parking lots and even pulling up to bus stops and taking people. Sickens me that these monsters and thugs are terrorizing my neighborhood

Please note that NYT is leading with what the videos show, not the lies from the feds. This is what every news organization should be doing. This is how you cover a government that lies as it breathes. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/us/minneapolis-shooting-ice

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength
you don't become a martyr because you were a saint, you become a saint because you were martyred
I agree that we can’t make Alex Pretti a Benedictine monk because that’s a trap, but we can talk about the good things we did because people will see and hear them and think “I do those things too”

As someone who *kinda* liked
White Bird in a Blizzard, I hope this is true.
I WANT YOUR SEX: Gregg Araki is back, and it’s like he never left. Plus, he's found kindred comedic spirits in Olivia Wilde & Cooper Hoffman who are both an absolute riot in this erotic comedy thriller. It's quite flawed, but still good fun 📽️

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

To be done with the sex-scene nonsense:
1. The worst sex scenes are the ones that are there on the belief that they're necessary to the plot; I call them forensic sex scenes, whose sole purpose is to inform viewers that the characters had sex with each other (or one another)...

"ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
