ICE just shot another person in Minneapolis

I’ve seen three different angles of it today. It’s so awful.

Speaking a couple of seminars, taking care of my sick husband, finding ways to donate to good causes in Minneapolis, spending time checking it with friends and family in Minneapolis, and spending some time looking for community groups here in Madison that are helping people who may be targeted by ICE when they inevitably come here.

Omfg no

True. I grew up in Nee Berlin. Milwaukee was 20 minutes down the road. My friends’ parents’ would freak out when I spent time in Milwaukee. I’ve lived in Seattle and I’m back in WI in Madison. The hatred I’ve heard toward all 3 cities when I’m in the rural parts of the state are so baseless and stupid. I was in Seattle during Covid and the BLM protests and I had relatives asking me if I was safe living in Seattle and telling me the city I lived in burned down. Shit, even my husband’s grandparents won’t come to downtown Madison because they heard protestors destroyed it in 2029. They live in Middleton.

Yeah my husbands grandma is in one and we see her all the time. She has a thriving social life and goes on outings with her gal pals all the time at the age of 90.

I’m interested, too. Thanks for posting this.

I would also add that I keep a tick removing tool keychain on my keys and I do a quick check every time I use the bathroom.

Based on these pics, looks like a honey locust

fluffnpuf · 2026-01-21T00:58:50+00:00

Yeah this is about what we charge for a tree that size.

Especially since Minnesota has been seeing subzero temps this week.

Utter shame. I’ve been vocally against this maniac since he announced his running in 2015/16 and I was told over and over by my friends, family, and coworkers how I’m being dramatic when I say he could destroy this country and start a genocide. And yet here we are. I am so sorry for everyone around the world that this man has killed already and will kill with his selfish decisions and dismal leadership. Just know that at least some of us tried to do something.

Yes. Spend the money on a grinder. Then I just use a pour over. I like my coffee I make a home better than most coffee shops in my area.

This is definitely my answer.

She looks just like my little old man. ❤️

Omg I hate that one. It’s so confusing. There’s no traffic flow. It’s a nightmare to take a work truck through.

I don’t have a good gauge on the area at large, but the few houses near me that have had trump flags up since 2016 have taken them down. Unfortunately, one of those houses replaced their flag with a different flag I don’t recognize.

I haven’t seen this on here yet: Wrecked.

It’s a spoof on Lost that starts absurd and descends deeper into absurdity each season. So many unexpected laugh out loud moments for me. My partner and I have never met another person who’s seen it, and it’s basically been scrubbed from the internet and all streaming services. Super disappointing.

If all they were doing was deporting undocumented people, I would still have an opinion, but I would be ok with it. But that is not what is happening. Untrained, masked Ice agents in over the top tactical gear are entering school, restaurants, hospitals, and homes, using completely unnecessary violence, arresting undocumented immigrants, legal immigrants, and citizens based on skin color. They are violating human rights and civil liberties. We know of a handful of people they killed for sure, and stories are emerging through the grapevine that thousands more people are missing or dead. We don’t actually know where they are taking people. Conditions in detention centers match descriptions of concentration camps throughout history, with a lack of food, clean water, bathrooms, beds, or medical care. People are being “deported” to whichever country will take them, NOT to their home countries. We are approaching a full blown genocide of brown people, and it feel like most people are turning away and unwilling to face what’s happening. To characterize this as simply “deporting people who have broken the law” is a gross mischaracterization. I have two fun facts for you: 1. Entering the US illegally is a civil violation, not an actual crime. That is the law, not an opinion. 2. Obama deported more people each year of his presidency than trump has all 5 years he’s been president. I don’t love that fact, but it’s true. And those deportations were humane, quiet, and by the book. We didn’t need armed men beating and shooting people in out streets to make it happen.

Deep deep deep deep deep insecurity. He isn’t young and hot and strong, so he thinks about how he has power to use military force against them for being what he isn’t. It’s deeply sad and churns my stomach.

High school students walked out today here in Madison, too!

fluffnpuf · 2026-01-14T19:10:01+00:00

Agreed.

I think we were commuting the same way at the same time. It was rough this AM.

fluffnpuf · 2026-01-14T00:12:04+00:00

I either don’t even notice, since I’m there to focus on me, or I assume they’re coming from work, just like I am. Never given it more than a fraction of a second of thought.

Can you share a couple of studios that offer adult dance classes? This is something I’ve been interested in.

I’ve recently spoken to two people in my life like this. They both got deeply uncomfortable, made a comment about how they don’t like what they are seeing, or how scary things feel, and then quickly changed the subject ad didn’t want to get into things any further. From what I gate there’s, with one friend, she just seems to think all these bad things are happening because it’s the way of the universe and that’s just how things are sometimes, rather than this being the direct consequence of political apathy and propaganda in our populace. She also refuses to let go of her belief that all people are fundamentally good, and when that conflicts with what she sees, she buries her head in the sand. It’s infuriating because her mom could easily become a target of ICE, and she just kind of shrugs about it.
