At Whipple where expired dicks are being thrown at ICE vehicles and those believed to be agitators. The area has been a place of protest since thousands of federal agents arrived in the city.

Near Minneapolis February 7, 2026

This is a quality joke only a true Minneapolitan will get

It's worth noting that the population of Minnesota is about 5.8 million, so close to 1 in 100 people in this entire amazing state showed up to say #FuckICE today

As someone who used to do a lot of email fundraising, I need you to understand how incredible this number is. If you have a list of motivated activists, getting 1% to show up for an IRL event is beyond a success. It's huge.

This is 1% of THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF THE STATE. It's unheard of.

This bill by a Washington State Democratic legislator would prevent any law enforcement agency in the state from hiring anyone employed as a sworn ICE officer after January 20, 2025. A good start, I say. Make them outcasts.

Minnesota activist arrested after church protest, U.S. attorney general says Bondi in a post on X said Armstrong played a “key role in organizing” the interruption at Cities Church in St. Paul.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday said FBI and Homeland Security agents arrested Minneapolis civil rights activist Nekima Levy Armstrong in connection with the disruption of a church service on Sunday.

This is CRITICAL. I know you’re all putting your back into mutual aid & a thousand other great things, but if there’s anything left here, so many folks depend on these front-line lawyers right now.

A terrifying temperature map of Minnesota

Heheheheheheh

This is an important preliminary win for all Minnesotans exercising their constitutional right to peaceful protest and witness.

Thanks and congratulations to the ACLU and the plaintiffs for standing strong for this bedrock principle.

ICE/CBP is following school busses now.

My husband (a school bus driver) was just in an urgent all-hands meeting about it this afternoon.

This is a statement about this weekend issued by a group of Cedar Riverside community leaders including elected officials, rapid responders, community organizations and residents: A group of racist and anti-Muslim agitators may be coming to Cedar Riverside on Saturday Jan 17th. Their goal is to create chaos and cause violence in our community. There will also be community patrollers in yellow vests, religious leaders in orange vests, the sheriff and MPD monitoring and responding to potential threats. What You Should Do: If you are a member of the Cedar Riverside Community • Do not be afraid. • Live your life as usual. • If you see the protest or offensive behavior, do not engage, argue, confront or respond. • Do not engage in conversations with strangers, people videorecording, or the media. • If you have any concerns, approach any patroller or call 911. If you are not a Cedar Riverside Community Member • No protest inside of Cedar Riverside is needed, wanted, or should happen. • If you would like to aid or volunteer, contact your local neighborhood Rapid Response.

minneapolis city council vice president jamal osman, who represents cedar riverside, has shared a statement on the hateful anti muslim march tomorrow planned from downtown to that neighborhood calling for no protests there

Just now seeing this, sorry I’m late to the game but thank you for all your work on this and please let us know how we can help support this initiative!

If you’re not familiar with Minneapolis, this murder is only blocks from where George Floyd was killed. Both blatant crimes captured on video. Once again, this will be a battle over reality. We will be told our eyes are lying. We must demand justice.

Don’t believe the Trump spin already coming out- this was a murder of a civilian observer, there’s video footage from multiple other observers from different angles.

this is actually much more important video

This is the video.

Polka Nut and cocodots might be my favorite babyisms

Parenthood is making the food you always wanted, for your inner child.
Then your actual child makes a face because it isn’t one of the three approved beige carbs this week. *sighs*

Getting to write for the Dark Crystal was an honor and a joy.

Getting to center sign language on the world of Thra as much as I did was a pleasure.

this sounds like the work Troy Kotsur did for Tusken sign language in Star Wars. I’d love to compare your processes sometime :)

I’m an ASL interpreter, I’d love to know more about how you included sign language!

Pro tip: wear slippers that look like work shoes so when you forget and wear them to work, you aren’t in trouble and feel decadent for wearing slippers to work. (Mine are black croc ballet slippers 10/10)

These are legitimately amazing socks and I love mine. If you like getting things in the mail, 10/10.

Pro tip: if you don’t wear makeup, then you’re free to make yourself cry listening to gorgeous show tunes while commmuting to work.
