ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.”
it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

A few days ago, Fox News was whining about ICE agents getting heckled at a Mexican restaurant in Minneapolis.
Meanwhile, in the town of Willmar, ICE agents had lunch at a Mexican restaurant, waited until it closed, then confronted and arrested three workers as they left.

New tariff just dropped.
Americans set to pay an additional 10% tax on all goods from Germany, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland.
It starts in two weeks, rising to 25% by June.

The distinction between identifying as liberal, leftist, or anti-MAGA conservative functionally means literally nothing.
It has basically no bearing on someone's commitment to sets of ethical values and their willingness to act on them as it relates to the current domestic situation of America.

My take on "this is not who we are" in that it's fine to have slogans that are obviously not literally true if there's nothing pithy that's adjacent (eg "believe all women" doesn't have a clean edit) but in this case you can just say "is this who we want to be??" or "this is not who we want to be"

![Trump to Impose Tariffs on Some European Nations Over Greenland
By Kevin Whitelaw
01/17/2026 11:27:04 [BN]
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump
announced a 10% tariff on European countries rallying to Denmark's side in his pursuit of Greenland.
Trump threatened in a social media post to impose the tariff Feb. 1 and raise the tariff to 25% in June unless "a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland."
The tariffs will apply to Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands and Finland, he said.
