One of the symbols going around these parts in recent weeks is the rebel loon. Which, I am sort of ambivalent about since we aren’t actually in open rebellion (nor would I recommend it without resources). Either way, here is a bit of background on that.
Team USA’s gold medal MAGA celebration was everything the NHL has been trying to avoid
Not a huge surprise, but the NHL players representing our country in the Olympics are women hating bigots. Go figure.
How Isle, population 800, became the only Minnesota city to sign an agreement to help ICE
Traitors in the midst. Imagine being a tourist town catering only to racists. You’d think you’d want to be as welcoming as possible, but nah. Let them die with the demographic they cater to.

Nice to see national media acknowledge Minnesota exists and has been invaded.
Where do Minnesota Republicans stand on immigration and the Good and Pretti killings? Sahan asked all 112 Republicans in the Legislature, gubernatorial race and Congress.
Not that you were holding your breath but nearly every Republican is cool with masked insurrectionists executing people in the streets.
Vote accordingly.
The digital dragnet: ICE’s surveillance playbook and your legal rights
One more from MPR on rights and strategy during the age of masked thugs.

Too many cowards are gatekeeping and allowing horrible acts by institutions but muting reactions by the public.
Minnesota parents look for ways to help kids cope and process ICE trauma and chaos
After Covid, after the George Floyd assassination, we really didn’t need the Feds invading our state to damage our children and their already low lack of faith in our institutions to not actively harm them.
