@Twins As a father of two women who played ice hockey and fastpitch softball growing up (and still play and are athletic in many other endeavors), I approve of this message. Nice going, Twins!

Felt so good to bicycle 18K yesterday in -7.77C that felt like -11C after a few days of too much cold and days of travel with the spouse.
Someone snowplowed the Root River Trail from the edge of Rushford to the edge of Peterson so I was able to get more distance. Got on the road for a stretch where snow was too deep.

Excerpt from a MinnPost article on potential new Minnesota laws:
Passing anything will be an ordeal in a Legislature composed of 101 DFLers and 100 Republicans. And, Republicans are likely to support bills that mandate cooperation between the state and federal immigration officials.

Earlier in January, Garrison Gibson was detained by ICE and flown to El Paso, Texas, only to be returned home days later and detained again.
In a press conference on Jan. 18 he said that he has been in the United States for 17 years and has regular check-ins with ICE. According to court records, Gibson’s most recent check-in with ICE was on Dec. 29, less than two weeks before masked gunmen from the agency illegally broke down his door.
Gibson said that he’ll continue fighting the government’s efforts to deport him to Liberia, a country he hasn’t visited since he fled a civil war there when he was 6 years old.

own loved ones and the loved ones of everyone else in the crowd. Pleading with them not to spark a riot. They baton-charged her and the others in the crowd, and threw her in jail for three days. Now they are charging her with two misdemeanors. Her husband is taking some time off from work to support her through this process." #twincities #MNastodon #iceout #FuckICE #minneapolis #mutualAidRequest (3/3)

If you have some spare coin, consider helping Kobe get back on his feet. Until last week, he was a cook at my local Asian restaurant.
His family came here from Laos 40 years ago; almost all are citizens now, but Kobe is not. ICE found him, broke down his door without presenting a warrant, arrested him, moved him to a Texas detention center. He awaits deportation back to Laos where he knows no one.

I was shitposting about Green Bay's football team, as Minnesotans do, but then I was like "ah wait do I have to be nice about it" because D told me about the vigils and protests held in Green Bay where Alex Pretti grew up.
So D made me a meme:

Stillwater has removed the Team USA snow sculpture from the World Snow Celebration due to a “rules violation” after it included “ICE out” messaging. It’s disappointing to see art censored instead of discussed. If you have a minute, please call and explain why this was a bad idea: https://www.twincities.com/2026/01/28/team-usa-stillwater-snow-sculpture-removed/ #minnesota #MNastodon
All of us in all of our communications, large and small, should emphasize the big truths to counter the big lies. The last two months as a Minnesotan have confirmed all of them.
Immigration is net positive, and attacking it harms society. Contrary assertions always involve fabricated or misinterpreted evidence.
All people posses dignity and should be treated as such.
The current regime is utterly lawless, post-Constitutional as its architects intended. We should all pick a favorite to hammer home in every conversation:
--Trump is not legitimately President, per the 14th Amendment
--Federal agents target people who entered the country legally under US law.
--Federal agents arrest people, based on race, and deprive them of the Constitutionally guaranteed right of habeas corpus by relocating them.
