What a nasty little prick--to say the least!!


🚨 BREAKING: Outside the Minnesota State Capitol, conservative activist Jake Lang was arrested after defacing an ICE protest ice sculpture, changing “Prosecute ICE” to “Pro ICE.”

Authorities say he caused about $6,000 in damage and booked him into Ramsey County Jail.

Want to debate policy? Great.
Want to vandalize and get arrested for it? That comes with consequences.

He needs state charges for jail time I bet parents are so proud of this 6 foot walking pile of shit.

[rubbersole]

That clickbait stunt is probably worth $100K. Maybe more with all the magat setbacks lately.

4. Jake has activated the Nail Girlies

darn (lol)

I tried to link to a post from Molly Conger but it looks like she's disabled the embedding of her Bluesky posts.

Anyway, someone with long, glorious, pink nails covered Jake's face in a photo, taken a couple weeks ago in Minneapolis. It has inspired all sorts of anti-ice manicures posted on Reddit subs. There are Etsy shops selling shades of anti-ice nail polish and donating to mutual aid groups.

Crafters and creators of all kinds are expressing their rage:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/29/ice-knitting-protest-immigration

...They didn’t want to return to the “pussy hats” that symbolized women’s resistance to Donald Trump in 2016, so Paul, their employee, did some research and came back with a proposal: a red knit hat inspired by the topplue or nisselue (woolen caps), worn by Norwegians during the second world war to signify their resistance to the Nazi occupation.

“I said: ‘Well gee whiz, that’s extremely fitting for this moment,’” said Mashaal. “Me being a Jewish small business owner, that resonates with me on so many levels.”

Mashaal and her team quickly put together a pattern for a red knit cap with a ribbed brim, pointy top and jaunty tassel. They published the “Melt the ICE hat” pattern on Ravelry, the social network for knitters and crocheters, and made it available for download for $5, with proceeds going to the St Louis Park Emergency Program (Step), a group that is helping people affected by ICE raids to pay their rent and bills.

“We thought we’d have a group of 10 people come and knit, and it turned out to be over 100,” Mashaal said. “Then it started spreading and it’s just been crazy.” Nearly 70,000 copies of the pattern had been sold by Wednesday, less than two weeks after it was first published online. It has been adapted for crochet and other weights of yarn, and has become ubiquitous on knitting social media. Local yarn shops across the country are offering specials on red yarn and hosting knit-alongs of their own...

7. That's a different link

That link is from Sara Jeong, who writes for The Verge.

The link I tried to post was from Molly Conger who hosts the podcast "Weird Little Guys" (recommend).

That's a cool feature of Bluesky. If you don't want outside websites (and goobers like me) embedding your post for clicks and clout, you can block that in your settings.

6. What an Effing asshole!

[Eko]

8. Kicks like a 3 year old kid.

[3Hotdogs]

9. So he gets arrested, fined $10k.

I was gonna figure a G.F.M. gets him 50K but G.F. might pull it for supporting a criminal activity.

10. Sentence recommendation:

20 to life, no chance of parole.

13. Someday if he pulls himself together

he might have grandchildren that will watch this.

[MagickMuffin]

16. Isn't this the man baby who was surrounded at a protest rally

And have to have caring people to escort him away. It appears he hasn’t learned much of anything.


He’s a troubled young man.

Gunned Down at Baseball Practice and Saved by a Lesbian Cop ... - Vogue

In June, Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise was shot at a congressional baseball practice and saved, in part, by Capitol Police officer Crystal Griner, who is a lesbian

(Good reason to be nice to everyone. Ya never know who your hero will be.)

17. i hope they can keep him in jail until his maga rally on Saturday.

but don't expect it.

[question everything]

18. In a post to X, Lang claims he caused $6,000 in damage.

Lang says he plans on holding a rally inside the Minnesota State Capitol on Saturday, but officials say he does not have a permit to do so.

19. Good! Fuck that MAGA loser!

[OGBuzz]

21. Damn.

I was really hoping to see him go down and crack his brain pan on that first kick.

[tishaLA]

22. He got thrown out of a bar (restaurant?) a couple days ago

they told him they didn't want to serve them (source: Reddit). He said "oh, because I support DonOld tRump? Because I'm a patriot?" blah blah blah. Because of course he's the victim when his actions have consequences.

[mysteryowl]

23. Does he live in Minnesota?

He was assaulted by a mob in Mpls not long ago.
Guess who saved him????

Black Muslim men, then you guessed it, a black trans woman and her friend a black woman.
Oh, the irony!

It is all here:
https://democraticunderground.com/100220988480


He said he would pay for the damage the crowd did to the women's car...they most likely are still waiting.

24. Never heard of him. Anyone...
