5-10 min read: 15 posts in total. Why Minnesota is the ONLY state in the nation to refuse requests to acquiesce a civil war era battle flag. We hold the line while the union regroups. It is our history. And history repeats itself. Cheers, Minnesota. Enjoy.
2nd July 1863. Battle of Gettysburg. For perhaps the only time in the entire war the Confederates seem to be winning.

Dan Sickles, commander III Corps, is ordered hold on Cemetery Ridge. For reasons unknown he advances. Broken, his men begin to flee.

This is the moment on which the war depends /1

I am elated. We still have a long road ahead, but I'm thrilled to be among such admirable and benevolent other people. You give me hope. You give others shelter. You keep communities alive. Bless you.

Hillary Clinton said "No knight in shining armor is coming to save us" ... then this happened. I now remember why I paused using billionairebook.

When fascist outsiders aren't assaulting Minnesotans we go out and enjoy our beautiful state.

I'm loving seeing Minnesotans giving DHS "criminal" photos things like honorary hero awards, and free beers.

Hell yea. Thanks for doxing our rebellion heroes. We're going to care for them all, ya fascist dumbasses.

First, I want to thank everyone who pitched in, yesterday. Your help got us almost halfway to our first benchmark.

This is Ilhan Omar's neighborhood. And her people are targets. Whatever you can do to help them... Please and Thank you. Much love.

Has the United States of America Identified Alex Pretti's Killer(s) Yet?

I can't lie. I have been woefully distracted by occupation to give this enough attention. And I want to because I think it matters.

I wish they'd defer it until we're not busy protecting our neighbors and children from masked goons with guns.
I'm curious whether any Saint Paul planners are ready to step out of the shadows in the new @mayorher.bsky.social administration to oppose @mndot.mn.gov's plans to rebuild I-94. You know there are some excellent, city-loving staff who couldn't buck the system before.

"We will continue." Damn right, we will.
#BREAKING: During a town hall event on Tuesday, Rep. Ilhan Omar @ilhanmn.bsky.social was assaulted by an attendee who sprayed her with an unknown substance and demanded she resign from Congress.

She declined treatment and continued the event a few moments later.

Abolish DHS. The agency is only as old as the post 9/11 airport pat-down procedures of 100% of flight passengers which was also a bad idea. The only reason we didn't dump it as fast as the preflight body searches is it didn't inconvenience us before it was weaponized against us.

An impressive quantity of Minnesotans with an impressive quantity of candles and in impressive winds, making meaningful statements about our One Unified desire.

Whaddya say we go and get Homan fired too then?

Hello, MSP. I have set up a rent assistance fundraiser for Cedar-Riverside. Our neighborhood is majority affordable, and with many residents out of work in service related industries. Anything you can contribute is appreciated.

Yes. HUD and IRS fund affordable housing programs that a significant portion of Minnesotans rely on. I support the moratorium, but I'm not a sociopath with levers like those that can just be pulled on whim, and this president is.
Is there literally any (good/legit) reason that Walz hasn’t called an eviction moratorium yet?
January 25, 2026 at 8:51 PM
60 CEO's are vapidly protesting their lack of profits during tyrannical occupation, and calling for the residents to Keep Calm down and Return to buying their products.

Don't stop what you're doing for one another to hear a word they have to say right now. Make them come to us.
January 25, 2026 at 6:32 PM
I can totally relate. You?
I don’t think ive had a night of uninterrupted sleep since mid December. nightmares almost every night
January 25, 2026 at 1:36 PM
Sleep peacefully, fellow Minnesotans. My love to you all.

Any word on how our wonderful clergy are doing? Have they been released?

I want to thank our beautiful Somali community for bringing Hot Tea and Toasty Sambusas to all our beautiful neighbors in Minneapolis today. We Love You!

These are my m'fukin' people. Never doubt us.
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!

Don't put so much focus on being witty, so that you forget to first be human.

Whether you were surviving this dystopia, or battling the fascists causing this dystopia: My dear Minnesotans, rest well.

For it has been a helluva day. And I love you.

This white American agrees 100%. Time to put in the work side by side with our bipoc allies, and step into the risk of federal brutality right along side them. -A Minnesotan who knows. Democracy will win, and it is time to end bigotry in America once and for all.
Truly. I am begging white liberals to stop pronouncing the death of democracy or America. This place has always been cruel to the people it knows it can exploit for profit. The only change is that you're on that list now too.
