Thanks for the heads-up. I just put a lit candle in the snow on our corner-lot property, in a small city across the river from southern Minnesota. ---

How is the murdered man’s last name pronounced? Anyone heard on news broadcasts? I don’t want to watch any. prett-ee? ---

Yes. Short “e”. Italian, probably, like mine. ---

I clicked it again and it’s still there for me. There’s a two-click thing going on because of the sensitive nature. You have to tap something on the screen to get the video to show. ---

You can tell things are bad because Chuck Schumer has stopped tweeting about groceries and is actually threatening to not immediately give Republicans everything they want. > **[Chuck Schumer (@schumer.senate.gov)](https://bsky.app/profile/schumer.senate.gov/post/3md7fx2n6dc2e)** > > Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included.

In seven days, yes. Jeffries refused to whip his members against the funding bill and it passed the House because of Democratic turncoats, so it’s in the Senate’s hands now. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > You can tell things are bad because Chuck Schumer has stopped tweeting about groceries and is actually threatening to not immediately give Republicans everything they want. They’re insisting that they’re not going to approve a bill funding DHS. [https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/24/shutdown-senate-democrats-minneapolis-shooting-00745642](https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/24/shutdown-senate-democrats-minneapolis-shooting-00745642) I think at this point there will be a lot of people cheering on a shutdown, where rather than blaming the Dems they’ll give them **credit**. It’s a win-win for them right now. I expect we’re headed for a shutdown next week and I’m glad. If Dems cave, I expect people will blame them for whatever ICE does afterwards, and I expect I’ll be one of them. ---

I’m in favor of a shutdown and also a general strike at this point. ---

At this point, the federal government has lost the Mandate of Heaven as far as I’m concerned. It has abandoned the rule of law and is therefore illegitimate. Trump and his cronies need to be removed and there need to be tribunals for most of the regime. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > For that matter, even the NRA is speaking out against the “he was a domestic terrorist” smear. Well, not quite. They’ve got their metaphorical guns trained on the idea that law enforcement can just pop you if you are getting closer to them while carrying a firearm, but they’re reserving judgment on the charge of “domestic terrorist”. What Essayli wrote was so damn egregiously wrong that they had to make some kind of response, but it’s entirely possible that the NRA will eventually look at the “totality of the facts” (as seen on Fox News) and come down on the side of it being a “good shoot”. ---

What amazes me is the divide here. Unarmed man gets shot and killed. Some are actually saying he was a terrorist/leftist attempting to murder ice.
