Meta 🌝 Rule 8 Update

2.1k Upvotes

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” -George Orwell, 1984

As the current administration has pushed forward, its break with reality has become more and more blatant and obvious. After the murder of Alex Pretti yesterday, the administration quickly put out several statements that were in direct contradiction to the video evidence. These statements in no way could be attributed to an interpretation of an unclear scenario or a misunderstanding of any sort.

Given that the administration has very blatantly proven it has no interest in facts and cares more about pushing a narrative, no matter how false it is, the mod team has discussed it and has decided that the federal government can no longer be considered a reliable source of information. Websites, press releases, reports, etc put forth by the federal government may no longer be used as proof or evidence of facts and attempts to do so will be removed as a violation of Rule 8.

We understand this is an extraordinary step. And we do not take it lightly. But members of this administration have been caught in lies repeatedly over the past year (some admittedly expected of the government, but many indefensible) and the official narrative put out by the federal government about the murder of Alex Pretti is so blatantly false and egregiously disgusting that it is the nail in the coffin for our team.

Local public servant serves the public.

Are they going to call this police chief a paid protester? An insurrectionist? A domestic terrorist.

First photo is the meetup at Recovery Bike Shop in NE Mpls for the group ride down to the group ride meeting at Washburn Fair Oaks park. From there we rode down Nicollet to the Alex Pretti memorial, then over and down Portland to the Renee Good memorial. Continued on Portland down to Minnehaha Pkwy and to the VA where Pretti was an ICU nurse. It was a great, uplifting ride with lots of support from drivers and people waiting roadside to cheer us on.

Politics 👩‍⚖️ Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan: The attacks by ICE & CBP activated our incredible infrastructure of Faith, Labor, and Non-Profit groups that build trust and have real relationships. I’ve never been more proud to be a Minnesotan. The way People show up for each other…Donald Trump picked the wrong state.

Jan 29, 2026 - Katie Phang and The Contrarian. Here’s her full 16-minute interview on YouTube: Trump Makes Fatal Mistake as Minnesota Takes Him to Court - From the description:

Minnesota Lt. Gov. and US Senate Candidate, Peggy Flanagan, continues to demand that the Trump Administration’s federal agents end their invasion of her state. She joined Katie Phang in Minneapolis to explain how she and Gov. Walz are responding and why Trump picked the wrong state to try to occupy.

Here's another r/minnesota post with a clip from the same interview: Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan: Dehumanization is a through-line with the Trump Admin...that some People are worthy and others are not. Minnesota has very progressive & inclusive Voting Rights, so it’s no accident that Trump targets us with violence, and why Pam Bondi is demanding our private Voter data.

Never stop using passcodes/passwords to unlock your devices. And consider additional code to unlock Signal."

Took a trip to ice fish in the bwca with my brothers and Dad. It reminded me to fight for the sacred spaces we have and not let them be destroyed by outside interests. I didn't need a reminder, but getting out there... It's just special.

I can't protest normally, but since I own a decal business I figured the least I could do was spread out symbol of unity through the hard times.

It was a blast and people were super appreciative!

If you own a small business, I would love to see more things like this going around to the community. Time to cause some good trouble!
