They blinked first.

That's how I see yesterday's change of ice leadership. 
I don't know how it's going to play out.
But they blinked first.

BedBear graciously grants that it may be used for God's eye making.

BELOW: Sister had sent me this photo of candle luminaries people set in the snow on Lake Nokomis--can you see the little people? The words 'ICE OUT' are big enough to be seen by the many airplanes flying into or out of the nearby international MSP airport.

BELOW: A sticker seen on my way to work: 
ICE OUT OF ORDER

Did you see the clip of my Rep. Ilhan Omar getting sprayed with some liquid at her open Town Hall forum?
Here, at the Guardian:
theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/28/ilhan-omar-sprayed-unknown-substance-minneapolis

Her security team tackles the guy coming toward her, 
but I noticed is she walked toward him too, with her fist up!
Instead of closing down the event, she told her team,

"Please don't let them have the show."

Later she posted, 
“I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me.”
