Jake Lang getting his Nazi ass beaten by Spider-Man in Minneapolis today is the ray of sunshine I needed.

As a young Unix / Network systems engineer at the beginning of my career in 1994, when I read Clifford Stoll's book "The Cuckoo's Egg: Tracking a Spy Through the Maze of Computer Espionage" I was hooked - I knew I wanted to work in computer security. Great seeing Clifford at SecretCon yesterday

Someone was taken near 20th & Central tonight at 10 PM. Within 5 minutes, there were over 20 people on a call and even more people on foot in the area to respond.

Did anybody else hear 2 military jet aircraft over Minneapolis last night around 12:30am? Seemed to be heading northwest.

One of my 5 string Ibanez EHB fanned-fret basses is a pretty boring grey, and the strings needed changing. It's boring no longer, I strung it up in Trans Pride colors - I'm still #Trans and still visible! #TDoV2026 #TDoV

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol. An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

Illinois is joining the World Health Organization's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network. I refuse to sit by as Donald Trump undermines science and weakens our nation's ability to detect and respond to global health threats.

"Illinois is joining the WHO's Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) after the U.S. withdrew from the group last month [...] dedicated to monitoring and responding to global disease outbreaks" MN should join this network too, if we haven't already www.wcia.com/news/health-...

Here's the thing, Greg — free speech is still protected by the First Amendment under the Constitution. If you want folks to stop saying you're the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people, maybe stop acting like the secret police who are kidnapping and killing people.

Bovino: "When politicians, community leaders, & some journalists engage in that heated rhetoric we keep talking about, when they make the choice to vilify law enforcement calling law enforcement 'Gestapo' or using the term 'kidnapping,' that is a choice & there are actions & consequences."

Here's how to identify some crowd control munitions, canisters of which federal agents have left on the ground after deploying them against people in Minnesota. bit.ly/3YWp1jE Graphic by Mark Boswell/The Minnesota Star Tribune

Just got back from the vigil for Alex with my neighbors, saw this and broke down bawling.

How to Help: Twin Cities Residents

This is a post for people in Minnesota. I’m going to do a separate post for the non-Minnesotans when I’m done with this one. (If you’re in a hurry you can go to Stand With Minneso…

Immigration officers received a "legal refresher" reminding them that personal insults and rude gestures are legal, per documents leaked to me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/immigratio...

There’s lots of ways to get involved and support your neighbors if you’re not able to be out patrolling. Reach out to your local school or community members you know are plugged in and get involved.

ICE was just going up & down central getting out their cars with pepper spray and guns, but we had so many legal observers it made a huge difference. If you’re vulnerable at all we are asking you stay inside today & remember don’t open your door without seeing a judicial warrant signed by a judge.

Help out your neighbors by getting out and patrolling on central or at the quarry and by reaching out to your vulnerable neighbors and seeing how you can help them. defend612.com

The only way to live

Wow Minneapolis!! Tonight, 1500+ Minnesotans made it clear - we are fired up and ready for a new type of leadership in Washington. Let's do this.

I’ll see you at the rally! Proud to be with Lt. Gov. Flanagan and Senator Warren on a fine Friday evening in Minneapolis.
