Reminder that these kind of door-to-door “general warrants” are both explicitly illegal and also a major trigger for the American Revolution.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Holy crap.
Coastal range experiencing offshore flow at higher elevations, with temps boosted and low RH. Fire danger really low because you know, all the precipitation, so not a lot of worries. Septanuary?

a reminder, again, that AltNPS is a grifter account run by people who have no affiliation with the National Park Service and indeed who never did have any affiliation with the National Park Service. They have no sources, they have no information, they are purely there to scam you.
"Receiving reports" my ass. AltNPS is not receiving reports of ICE raids in Saint Paul. They are seeing posts on social media like the rest of us.

I DO have loved ones in Saint Paul. ALL of my loved ones. They're terrified. Fuck you.

News of Bob Weir's death landed particularly heavy with Don Was, the producer and Blue Note Records president who was Weir's bandmate in Wolf Bros.

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

[at the club] throw your hands in the air & wave them like you do care, deeply, about literally everything, & to such a degree that it's easier to give up, yet you forge on, confident you're in the right, growing bolder w each wave, like tall flowers in the wind

*rubs my nose* okay, let’s try to explain this one more time.

Think of your book like a food item, and AI like nuts.

that the Whos celebrate Christmas suggests some knowledge of Christ, but whether this is our anthropic Christ or a distinctive Who-Christ remains obscure; some have argued Christianity was introduced to them during their refuge with Horton, which of course turns us to the matter of Elephant Religion

Worth adding here that SpaceX is almost entirely funded by government contracts and subsidies, and so this really amounts to embezzling taxpayer funds to cover up the losses from his stupid idiot boxes.

Worth noting, I guess, that inside of a year we've gone from administration officials taking selfies of themselves at CECOT and bragging about how it's hell on earth to now getting their horrible little media worms to kill stories about it

That’s Brent Bozell III, founder of the Media Research Center, nephew of William F Buckley and one of many Council For National Policy members who worked to oppose anti-apartheid efforts in the 1980s. Also, his son was one of the first rioters inside the Capitol on Jan 6. Got four years for it.
So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.
