Minnesota Is Under Siege What’s happening here isn’t chaos β€” it’s a deliberate campaign of terror. And silence is not neutrality.

Minnesota is under siege.
This isn’t chaos β€” it’s a deliberate campaign of terror playing out in real time. ICE raids near schools. Teachers protecting kids. Families afraid to leave home.

Please read & share. What’s happening here will not stop at our state lines.

How am I supposed to function? After unbearable throat pain for a month & drs throwing cough meds at me, I finally right meds but, hells bells, side effects taking me down. Prednisone + gabapentin is a loopy cocktail. One makes you wired, the other tired. 🀯

Also fuck 🧊 and release the Epstein files

Thank you for showing up loudly to amplify the danger and corruption.

Thanks so much. I’m a new grandma. Since the little started daycare, I have never been more constantly sick in my life. Turns out croup in your 60s doesn’t live up to the hype.

I’m down the street and would love love to go but have been sicker than a dog for weeks. Have a great show!

Who know doing things the way they’ve always done them is useless in the face of hate, corruption, incompetence, and complete lawlessness.

If you’re not willing to take risks outside of old-school protocol, step tf aside. You may have had a moment, but that moment is far behind us.

DO SOMETHING

If I see one more statement or strongly worded letter, I’m going to scream.

We need leaders who are willing to meet the moment and act.
Who know how to read the room.

I think I dodged a bullet, at least temporarily, by not updating to iOS 26. Tell me I’m wrong

Shout out to everyone sharing your frustrations. Your rants are a public service. I’m staying right where I am for now.

I’ll take functionality over esthetics all day, every day.

Q for the more experienced protestors:

I was at a No Kings protest today. Where do I turn in my timecard to get paid?

I don’t feel well. I’m in pain. I don’t have a plan to get there or meet a friend there. I don’t have a sign.

None of these count as real problems.

I’m going #nokings

Annual earthquake drill right now. Let this be your reminder to get the MyShake app for short warnings of quakes. A few seconds advance notice is enough to get to a safer spot. #california #earthquake

Reminder to my fellow BayArea friends, make sure you have the @myshakeapp.bsky.social to get #earthquake early warnings. It’s just a few seconds but it’s amazing how fast you move when the alarm goes off.

You know you’re a true Californian when you instinctively go from deep sleep to rolling out of bed to take cover the moment the earthquake alarm sounds.

Valuable and disgusting at the same time. Insightful breakdown of ICE influencer-style videos.

The solution that saved my sanity from the deluge of political texts was to filter out those from unknown numbers. They still come, but no notifs and they are neatly kept out of the way.

No more replying STOP or marking as junk. Ignore and move on with your day.

Seriously, life changing.

I Don't Care if Democrats Are in the Epstein Files Hold them all accountable.

"I don’t care if Clinton is in the Epstein files. I don’t care if any Democrats are on the client list. I don’t care if any progressives are on the client list... You know why? Because I'm not in a cult."

Alternatives to NY Times Games & Puzzles 🧡

If it bothers you that your passive games subscription and clicks to the NYT Games cartel is funding their awful OpEd army and "journalism," there are a wealth of puzzle/game options less iffy/yikes complicit, and many are direct clones to your NYT faves.

As a boomer, I’m thrilled to see a generational and ideological shift in dem party leadership. I am so here for it. Well done, NYC πŸ‘
