Writing? Yes. Among other things, I've been doing that.😊💙📚 I'm 18.5 chapters (out of abt 43) into the next novel and loving it so far.
It'll be a new story in this world, which I think is a very cool setting for stories... although I might be a wee bit biased. 😄

Walz: "They killed a man, created chaos, pushed down protesters, threw gas indiscriminately and then left the scene and then we're left to clean up. I understand the anger."

Walz: "You kill a man, and then you just leave? You're law enforcement -- you just leave? Is there a single case in American history where you just, like, walk away and say, 'I guess that just happened and we're not gonna clean up our mess?'"

In all seriousness, this storm can be dangerous. Prepare early, stay off the roads if you can, and look out for each other.

Wait until the 2d Amendment nuts find out that simply possessing a gun is now punishable by death.
DHS told Fox News the suspect was armed with a gun, which has been recovered by federal agents.
We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. We are working to confirm additional details. We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area.-City of Minneapolis

Alleged video of the shooting:

I told the White House the state must lead the investigation.

Let state investigators secure justice. As we process the scene, stay peaceful and give them space.

The State has the personnel to keep people safe – federal agents must not obstruct our ability to do so.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey: "I just saw a video of more than 6 masked agents pummeling one of our constituents and shooting him to death. How many more residents, how many more Americans need to die or get badly hurt for this operation to end?"

Frey: "I'm done being told our community members are responsible for the vitriol in our streets ... the invasion of these heavily armed masked agents roaming around on our streets of Minneapolis, emboldened with a sense of impunity, it has to end"

Congratulations to Russia and China.

You did it! 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

USA will never be looked at as a trusted partner and ally in the world ever again, by any sane or decent country. You spent years propping up the idiot occupying the Whitehouse, and it is working.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

Blumenthal: "I'm a no vote on that spending bill unless there are conditions that require ICE to go to a judge, to get a warrant, as well as other kinds of constraints -- the use of masks, the non-identification, the unmarked cars. These secret police, totalitarian tactics need to be stopped."

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.

That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.

Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

Trump may chicken out from following through on his most extreme threats, but his insistence on pushing self-imposed crises to the brink not only makes us less safe, but alienates us from the world. And thanks to Trump, we're probably past the point of no return.

Detaining a 5-year-old child is horrifying. What possible crimes could a CHILD have committed?

ICE and Border Patrol should be ashamed for terrorizing children.

Voted NO on this week’s bill that would give more funding to Trump’s lawless ICE and DHS.

riiiiiiiiight. They're doing damage control and blaming the kidnapping of a child to use as bait on the family. True innocence would have been to leave the kid and the family alone to live their lives in peace. You know? Without the whole kidnapping thing. I've never 'accidentally' kidnapped anyone.
ICE spokesperson Marcos Charles: "My officers stayed with the child. They cared for him. Took him to get something to eat from a drive-thru restaurant and spent hours ensuring he was taken care of. Again, my officers did that, not his father ... his family refused to open the door and take him back"

Excerpt from an excellent essay about how deep the hypocrisy of the right-wing christo-fascists runs. Check out the whole essay and give @drstaceypatton.bsky.social a follow. (most active on fb and substack) Dr. Patton is funny and sharp as hell.
