OK "Count the Rice" is so gloriously chaotic. I don't know how much longer Game Changer can keep one-upping itself. I'm in awe.
Good evening from the sweltering, smoke-laden hellscape that is currently Minneapolis
Dreamt that a woman I sort-of knew took me to an after-work event that turned out to be BIBLE FILKING. Literally one of our co-workers came out in robes and we sang Deuteronomy to the tune of something from Broadway

At the time I was pretty sure that it would be on TV forever and also that it was made exclusively for me

This is a nuisance case, but that's how they work. They don't even care that they'll eventually be humiliated when the case is dismissed. They use the courts to wear the opposition down.

Feds are out in Minneapolis and St Paul this morning, arresting observers and people who protested Metro Surge. There are maybe 5-6 that I know of so far, that’s 5-6 too many. We knew this could happen. Check in with your people and secure your devices.

What's starting in Minneapolis today is going to be just like the Broadview 6 case. A desperate attempt at a show trial pursued by dumb, vicious prosecutors performing for an audience of one. An attempt to discourage and scare people from fighting back. It's not going to work.
Minnesota US Attorney Dan Rosen having a news conference at 11 a.m. to announced charges against ”antifa.” Probably explains the reports of FBI in area & legal observers being picked up & homes searched.
Do not talk to the feds. Get a lawyer immediately. If you're arrested. The only words you say is "I want to speak to my lawyer." They may try to be friendly or act casual. Do not fall for it. Do. Not. Talk. To. The. Feds.
C. Robert Cargill@crobertcargill.bsky.social · 2mo agoICE observers in Minneapolis have begun receiving visits from FBI agents sent to intimidate them. A close friend-combat vet, mother, no criminal record-who was a volunteer observer during the ICE crisis, had a visit and was threatened for taking photos and videoed, claiming that filming was illegal.
I hope that whoever stole my anti-dandruff shampoo off of our stoop experiences fewer flakes and less dryness
