In prep for Jack White (and Black) on SNL tonight, I urge you to watch Jack (White)’s 2020 appearance. It’s hard to describe how much life that incredible set gave me while locked down and terrified. It still resonates loudly and is one of the single-greatest musical moments in SNL history.

I don’t see anything here to explain the “impersonating a police officer” charge. But also, it’s chilling how the officers play with these people’s lives. Stopped him for a scooter violation, and seem to refer him to ICE on a whim. If they hadn’t, he’d still be alive.

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

Jake Lang abused a live goat today in his latest stunt in NY. Please report this 🤬💩🍑🕳️ 😩😩😩

I just can't stop thinking about all of the things that are being done by rich, powerful men that can never be undone.

The local news had a guy talking at the gas pump about how he didn’t mind paying $3.29/gallon for gas now because it was “$5 or $6 under Biden.” Gas hasn’t been $5 or $6 a gallon in MN for, like ever. It has, however, gone up significantly since Trump launched his illegal war just a few days ago.

Klobuchar also asks Noem if she'll commit to reversing DHS's decision to block Minnesota state and local law enforcement from the investigation into Alex Pretti's killing. She referred that to the FBI.

U.S. citizens Leo Venegas, Javier Ramírez & Marimar Martínez are asked to stand while Sen. Blumenthal asks Noem if she’s met the citizens detained by DHS. She didn’t answer. Blumenthal says she can meet these 3 I wrote about all 3 in this @propublica.org story www.propublica.org/article/immi...

He has no idea what he's done or what to do now. Heavens help us all.

3/01/26 On Dakota land, a Dakota woman was arrested just for protesting ICE. Manifest Destiny didn’t go away, it just rebranded.

video from iceout.org earlier today at the whipple outside minneapolis shows a hennepin county sheriff’s deputy shoving the head of a protestor who was already tackled into the ground we need someone to challenge dawanna witt for sheriff. this brutality happening under her watch is unacceptable

From what I saw today firsthand it was the sheriffs today constantly escalating at people protesting peacefully. The sheriffs were masked up like ICE while working hard to agitate and provoke the residents they were sworn to protect, all so they could provide security for ICE who murders people.

So, so instructive to compare media response to Afghanistan withdrawal -- months of hysterical garment-rending & catastrophizing, relentless criticism of the admin -- with the response to an unprovoked, unmotivated, illegal war of aggression, ie, "some critics say maybe Trump should have reasons."

As a Minnesotan I can’t help but feel the Iranian people are being told the same lies we are: “We’re here to help… it’s for your own safety… we have to kill some of you and repress the rest, and some of our own will die, but it’s for your own good. Just lock your doors, shut up and you’ll be fine.”

Someone was abducted in St Anthony this morning at 6 AM near 29th Ave & Silver Lake Road. And then at 8 AM we saw at least 5 agents out of their vehicles at 26th & Jackson near Walgreens before they dispersed into the neighborhood. This isn’t over. We still need people keeping watch & staying safe.

Brought to you by the Admin who says “it’s not a crime to party with Mr. Epstein” … a document manifest showing 4 interviews the FBI conducted with a woman who accused the President of sexual abuse as a minor. If there’s nothing to hide, why are they hiding these documents? ⬇️

some YouTube asshole lied about Somalians stealing daycare subsides. so Trump is stealing healthcare from the entire state

The deliberate, systematic strategy of the Trump regime: Seize people indiscriminately, even if they’re going through the system exactly as they are expected to; detain them under brutally inhumane conditions specifically designed to break them - so that they will give up and waive all legal rights.

This happened Sep 9, 2025. The agent that shot the dog would not identify themselves and then hid from the homeowners. Given the months that have passed the family’s attorney and Congresswoman have yet to hear a result of the investigation that CBP was conducting.

oh my god... just saw this, can't believe it...💔

holy shit -- Bondi's new tactic is refusing to answer Democratic questions, then using time during the next Republican questioner to smear the previous Democratic member and accuse them of being complicit in violence crimes

This is SO insane. Not only that the Hennepin County sheriff's office allows this to happen in the courthouse, but also that NOW THE CASE CANNOT BE PROSECUTED because the guy is probably gone forever. JFC.

StarTribune: The man detained by federal immigration agents was making a court appearance over allegedly driving a vehicle, along with several other occupants, that had 57 lbs of methamphetamine. They would rather nab someone on a civil violation than let Hennepin County try him on 57 lbs of meth!

Lutnick Admits He Visited Epstein’s Pedophile Island, but Only Because the Lunch Buffet Was Too Good to Pass Up

A whole crybaby segment of the U.S. population has never taken a Zumba class, and it shows.

"'There are literally millions of people who rely on immigrants for their basic care needs every single day.'"

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

video sent to me from the hennepin county government center this morning of hennepin county sheriff deputies standing by as plainclothes federal agents detain two people agents have been hanging out in the lobby for days now

Fucking absurd, and of course the judge is a Tr*mp appointee.

Federal paramilitaries running up on the rooftops to fire irritants and flash bangs down into a peaceable assembly full of little kids

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society. How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

"Chanting “Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me” sure feels more righteous when thugs have overrun the streets of your city than it did in the ’90s, when that chorus was just as likely to seized by fratty malcontents looking for an excuse to collide with each other."

Former Alligator Alcatraz detainees give sworn testimony in court about the abuse and horrible conditions they had to endured One witness was missing A Judge had issued a “Convention Against Torture” ruling which prohibited his deportation as he would likely be tortured. ICE deported him anyways:

ICE is still terrorizing Minnesota kids: "Two vehicles parked while running on Wilson and Coolidge. They watched a middle school / high school kid get on the bus. After several other observers came out and started following, they circled around the neighborhood several times until finally leaving."
