It's the least our government can do, after trying to kill her and then framing her for attempted murder.

Its a small gesture, but we are doing our best to shop at immigrant owned (and staffed) shops and restuarants this month. As I often say, the Resistance takes many forms.

You know who switches out plates? Criminals who don't want to be identified by law enforsement.

Do you know who else does this?

Nobody.
We reviewed more than 100 Minnesota license plates attached to immigration enforcement vehicles in recent weeks.

We found that nearly 60% were not registered with the state of Minnesota, including the Chevy Tahoe that federal agent Jonathan Ross traveled in the day he fatally shot Renee Good.

Finally finished the New Yorker profile on Bari Weiss, and boy, howdy.

Imagine rising through the ranks to work at the network of Cronkite & Murrow, then hearing that nothingburger will be your boss?

I supose I shouldn't be surprised that they are again trying to deport little Liam and his family. The full weight of the federal government is being used against a little boy with a bunny hat.

I know November is a long time away, but make the pledge now to punish these people on Election Day.

These stupid MFs just can't stop commiting crimes while on camera at capitol buildings, can they?
Jake Lang, a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter, filmed himself destroying an anti-ICE ice sculpture made by military veterans in St. Paul.

Those forces smiles almost make me sorry for them.

Almost.
Trump wraps up the event and ignores shouted questions from reporters
February 6, 2026 at 12:25 AM
I sure hope the images of the right wing influencer defacing the ice sculpture at the state Capitol are real, as are the criminal charges and fines he now claims he faces.

These people lie like normal people breathe air, so I trust NOTHING they say, EVER.

In a few years, this can all be restored, with an added note or two on how America's most racist president tried to erase Black history and failed.
Civil rights activist Medgar Evers was shot in the back by a Klansman in 1963.

The National Park Service has removed visitor brochures from Evers' museum and reportedly plans to remove references that call his murderer a “racist"
Medgar Evers’ killer was a Klansman, but Trump administration says stop calling him a racist - Mississippi Today
Among anticipated changes to a new visitor brochure for the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument is no longer using "racist" to describe the killer of the civil rights leader.

Finally, a Super Bowl story that interests me!
npr.org NPR @npr.org · 1d
When Super Bowl 60 gets underway there will be one photographer on the sidelines who has snapped shots at every Super Bowl game. John Biever was 15 when he took photos at the first Super Bowl; he says this one will likely be his last.
He's photographed every Super Bowl. Will this one be his last?

I just saw a billboard for a "prediction market" (they mean a bookie) encouraging Minnesotans to "predict" (they mean bet) on the "final game" (they mean the Super Bowl).

Kyle isn't the hero we've been looking for, it seems.
it’s really not suspicious at all kyle wagner is wearing this shirt either. look at videos - the man is obsessed with playing for the cameras just like feds are. he was “on the run” yet couldn’t stop doing interviews. again, he calls himself “antifa kyle.” it’s branding. of course he’d put this on
mainstream news are now confirming that antifa kyle was arrested in whittier this morning www.cbsnews.com/news/kyle-wa...

Took a drive through Lexington, Circle Pines, and Lino Lakes today. While these communities all share a border with Blaine, I just don't that direction very often. Going to a DFL gathering on Saturday, I just wanted to map my route.
