Woman with legal status taken from her family home in St Paul by ICE, flown to Texas, held for two weeks before being ordered released by a judge. She lost her job. She's afraid to go outside because agents keep coming to her home.

After ICE release St. Paul woman, she says agents keep returning to her home
Thi Dua Vang legally came to the U.S. two years ago. So when ICE showed up, she thought it must have been a mistake.

the drunk republicans next to me think Trump is a “dick” and a “narcissistic asshole” and that his policies would all be fine if they came from someone “more sympathetic”

Seriously can you name a reason for to it exist that doesn't suck?
ABOLISH LEGAL GENDER ENTIRELY

We can still have social gender but legal gender only serves to enable discrimination and should be done away with like we did away with legal race for the same reason.

NO GENDER MARKERS ON GOVERNMENT ID, NOW
An extreme Kansas bill will invalidate the drivers license of every trans person in the state. It was passed alongside a particularly extreme bathroom bill, meaning that the implications of every trans Kansan losing legal ID overnight has largely been missed.
Kansas Bill Will Strip Driver’s Licenses from Every Trans Resident Who Changed Gender — Assigned
As Kansas passes a bathroom bill, another bill that will invalidate the driver’s license of every trans resident has been deemphasized in the coverage. Also, Trump’s Department of Education says San J...

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.
Yes, Peter decided that the continued existence of our democracies isn't compatible with his desired level of personal freedom.

Introduced a friend of a friend to someone who needed groceries brought to their home. I thought it would just be once.

Just got a message from that friend of a friend: “I'll keep them fed from here.”

Goddamn, I love you, Minnesota.

This makes the Jan 23, 2026 action the largest strike in Minnesota History, and depending on which number you use, 3rd in American History after the massive national strikes of 1919, or the Great Railroad Strike of 1922. I note with extreme interest that mainstream media didn't report these facts.

A new poll finds that 1 in 4 Minnesota voters took part in the Jan 23 shutdown against ICE, or have a loved one who did. Of those, 38% DID NOT WORK, either because they made the choice to stay out, or their workplaces closed. By me, @thomasbirm.bsky.social, @bloomekatz.bsky.social

Easily my biggest complaint with the entire caucus process. DFLers all know each other, know all the steps and rules and context, and assume everyone else has the same level of background knowledge they do. I guarantee this is not the case
There's also a disconnect when the long-time caucusgoers seem to take over (usually with a weak chair) and the key steps aren't explained.

One shouldn't have to be a caucus rules expert to participate

I regret to inform you that “1979” by Smashing Pumpkins was released in 1996, which is now 30 years ago. Meaning a similar song released in 2026 would be called “2009”

I will not buy the claims that ICE has bigger guns when the lives of our children are at stake. In general, if local law enforcement can arrest residents who break the law, then they can arrest ICE agents who break the law. 3/

Rent was due today, wiping out all funds raised to date for 122 South Minneapolis families who are unable to work or safely leave home.

Over $120K has been distributed so far, but more funds are needed to cover this week's grocery deliveries. Every dollar helps!
