let’s get real: Minneapolis is still a war zone, because Tommy Cash-Bags wants it that way

meet the new boss...

Jan 30, 2026

hey, remember when Obergruppenführer Greg Bovino got his freakishly undersized ass stuffed into a shoebox and mailed back to where he came from?

remember how his replacement, Tom Homan, immediately put an end to the Itsy-Bitsy Nazi’s lawless fuckery? remember what happened next? who could ever forget how Minnesota was overrun by fluffy bunnies with rainbows shooting out of their adorable butts.

of course you don’t remember any of that shit. neither do I.

and neither does Minnesota Senator Tina Smith.

“there is real harm that is unfolding in Minnesota as we speak. nothing has changed on the ground even though President Trump sent Homan to Minnesota.”

Senator Smith is right. nothing has changed in Minneapolis — except we’ve traded a trigger-happy psychopath who loves to get his hands dirty for a trigger-happy psychopath who leaves the trigger-pulling to others.

as Pete Townshend so wisely counseled us, ‘meet the new boss, same as the old boss.’

listen to Dear Leader confirm it.

reporter: “so you’re not pulling back in Minnesota?”

Donny: “no no. not at all.”

now hold on there just one second. does this demented fuck not remember what he said two days ago, about having had ‘good conversations’ with Mayor Frey and Governor Walz, and how ‘lots of progress’ was being made?

what was that all about?

hang on, was Donny just blowing smoke up our asses? was this whole ‘de-escalation’ thing a head-feint? was it all simply a one-day distraction engineered to generate positive headlines, and to get Senate Democrats to take their eye off the ball?

come on, Donny even thanked us for our attention to this matter. that’s not fair. that’s a violation of the public trust.

how will we ever again be able to take Dear Leader at his word?

now let’s talk about Tom Homan, because this Fred-Flinstone-kissing-a-bag-of-money-looking shit-kazoo thinks he’s starring in war movie.

reporter: “can you be specific about how many ICE and Border Patrol agents are currently operating in the state?”

Homan: “3,000. there’s been some rotations. I’ll share this with you. I met with a lot of people, a lot of the agents. they’ve been in theater — some of these people have been in theater for eight months … they’ve been in theater a long time. day after day, can’t eat in restaurants. day after day having people spit on you. blowing whistles at you, day after day.”

hey Tom, is this you?

listen to how Tommy Bags-o-Cash describes the presence of ICE goons in Minneapolis: “they’ve been in theater a long time.”

‘in theater’ — that’s not how law enforcement talks. that’s how the military talks. remember, from your World War Two history books? ‘the European Theater.’ ‘the Japan Theater.’

and now, the ‘Minneapolis Theater.’ Tom Homan actually sees himself as being at war against his fellow Americans. that’s how fucking far though the looking-glass we are right now.

I swear, all of Donny’s flunkies are so drunk with power — and so in love with themselves. just like that, Tom Homan gets to transform himself from some boring old civil servant with a penchant for accepting bribes into to G.I. Fucking Joe.

G.I. Tommy is Big Sad right now, because people aren’t being nice to his masked goons.

well boo fucking hoo.

daily life in Minneapolis has been completely disrupted. it is a war zone — one created by people like Tommy Cash-Bags and Gestapo Greg. schools are closed. stores are closed. tear-gas is being lobbed at children. people are cowering in their houses, afraid to walk the streets.

Minnesotans supposed to be thankful for that shit? they’re supposed to smile and nod and give thumbs-up to the masked invaders who have fucked their city into something unrecognizable? fuck you.

oh, and by the way, if you should find yourself summarily murdered to death by an ICE thug, don’t come crying to Tommy. he warned you.

“I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March, if the rhetoric doesn’t stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don’t want to see anybody die.”

what a great idea it was to let America be run by a gang of abusive husbands.

look what you made Tommy’s masked and armed thugs do. they didn’t want to have to shoot you — but it’s your own fault, because you don’t know how to listen.

let me just put this here, for no particular reason.

none of these fucksticks are very big on consent, are they?

even Commander Bone Spurs considers Minnesota to be war zone.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) said Wednesday that President Trump compared his federal immigration crackdown in the North Star State to the U.S. military operation in Venezuela that ousted President Nicolás Maduro.
“But he told me how well that went,” the Minnesota governor added. “Which really was strange to me was he saw an operation in Venezuela against a foreign nation in the same context he saw an operation against a U.S. state and a U.S. city.”

Nicolás Maduro, Uncle Tim Walz, they’re all one in the same to Donny. they’re opponents who must be vanquished — because they don’t know how to listen.

you know, our allies are appalled by this shit.

that’s right, we’re the baddies now.

“The current administration has transformed [ICE] into a force that occupies the streets,” noted an editorial in leading Spanish daily El País. “No one knows how far the tension might escalate in a country with hundreds of millions of firearms in private hands that transcend ideology. Public safety is not a marketing tool at Trump’s disposal. In Minneapolis, a sinister path has been opened for American democracy.”

tell me, is it a bad thing when other countries are issuing travel advisories telling their people not to come to America?

Meanwhile in Germany, the country’s foreign office put out a travel advisory against going to parts of the United States. “In Minneapolis and other cities, demonstrations sometimes lead to violent clashes with the migration and security authorities,” the alert reads, advising Germans to “be vigilant and stay away from crowds where violence might occur.”

could you ever have imagined that this would ever be our current state of affairs?

look how quickly America’s gone from being Ronny Reagan’s Shining City On A Hill to being that shithole country where any boy or girl can grow up to be gunned down on the streets by one of Dear Leader’s masked thugs.

and all the rest of the world can do right now is look on in horror.

which brings us to our hero of the day: Dutch artist De Strandharker, who creates sand paintings at Arendsduin, a beach on North Sea.

here’s De Strandharker’s latest creation, a tribute to Renée Good and Alex Pretti.

let’s all laud the shit out of De Strandharker.

here’s your daily reminder that I can be found on Blue Sky at this link.

this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:

practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.

to all the people who have signed on in the days since the election, welcome aboard. settle in as we all try to deal with the shitfuckery that’s ahead of us.

we are all in this together, and we are all here for each other.
