There's BCE.

And then there's BBCC, back in the days when some fool would always reply to everyone in the company after a company-wide email with "Thank you!"

It's not about policy with this administration. There is no policy. Only strategy. Strategy about how to gain power and crush dissent.

"Policy" is merely the whatever window dressing of words they use to to mask and distract from their strategy.

At 56 Brewing in #Minneapolis where they have a #Minnesota loon as a #StarWars logo, and it actually made me teary eyed.

Strange fuckin' days.

Things are kind of rough right now in Minneapolis, but I just discovered I can play Strawberry Fields Forever on guitar🪷

DHS legislation that funds ICE at its current levels with no policy restrictions goes to the Senate next Friday and needs 60 votes to pass.

Contact your senators, stand with #Minneapolis and #Minnesota!

For anyone among my followers who doesn't live in MN,*please* keep the heat on your Congressional delegation. What's happening in my beloved city is only possible with a complicit Congress.

Remind them that voters won't forget what side they were on when democracy was under seige in #Minneapolis.

The #Timberwolves need to postpone their game for today. This from a guy who has followed the team religiously since pre-KG.

As Congress authorizes an additional $18 billion for ICE, we in #Minneapolis are feeling like trench soldiers in a war movie when the air support they were desperately counting on flies away.

As a proud #Minneapolis resident as well as a "watch SAC vs CHA on a random Tuesday night" level of #NBA psycho, I really appreciate @howardbeck.bsky.social amplifying stories of the horrors my beloved city is experiencing right now.🙏🏼

Ghost of Jacob Marley's admonition to us all:

"Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, benevolence, were all my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!"

It's not too late, Republicans!

just a regular guy who would love nothing better than to just be left to my own devices...now taking over an hour out of every weekday to observe drop-off and pick-up at my neighborhood middle school, in the event parents or staff are abducted by the federal government.

After lunch, about to bundle up and walk around in my North Minneapolis neighborhood in minus-35 degree wind chills to document any unconstitutional abductions of my neighbors by the federal government.

A thing that was not on my year 55 bingo card.

Great Jim Peterson quote: "they're just an eight point run from being six points down."

Always a good time when I'm listening to music during a muted NBA game and the dancers come on and it sorta seems like they're dancing to Steely Dan or whatever.

Watching Lakers/Spurs. For a second I was wondering who I should be for, given the Wolves' seeding considerations, then realized I should be against the Lakers cause I hate them.

Writing to you from Minneapolis with a heavy heart and apparently deep in territory occupied by an enemy government.

In holiday terms, the dramatic increase in the presence of gambling in sports is but one of many things that makes it feel like we've gone from Bedford Falls to Pottersville.

Wolves have lost to one team under .500 and Memphis has beaten one team over .500.
