❄️✊🏽 No blizzard will stop Minnesotans from fighting for justice. 📣 Today we packed the State Capitol to call out MN GOP leaders who aided ICE’s occupation of our state. We’re demanding real repair for the harm caused & economic recovery for the communities that paid the price. #ICEOutNowMN #mnleg

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)

Skeptics of DHS/ICE pullback might ask: Are vulnerable people still staying home? Are the lawyers getting more effective? Has ICE shifted focus to resistors instead of immigrants? Are folks getting held locally beyond the 72 new hour rule? Are people getting bussed out instead of flown out?

Anecdotally, my friends doing observation and legal work haven't seen a steep drop in ICE activity, but at the airport, the trends are looking pretty promising - over last five days, the average number of ICE detainees getting flown out is 8 per day. 📊 Spreadsheet: ottergoose.net/ice-flights-...

Sustainability is often framed as a moral question. In chemistry, it is more accurately a technical one. In this video, John Warner shares how a tragic life experience changed his perspective on his work in the lab. buff.ly/ZKDmTXP

I think this pretty much sums it up

To clarify, 2 vehicles at the same time.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

There has been no draw down today. ICE snatched someone off Central Ave out of his car because he looked Latino before then letting him go a couple hours later. They were stopping people in Blaine on highway 65, they were all around Fridley, and were in the parking lot of the St Anthony liquor store

So proud of Minnesota! Because of all the work you’ve done and the support across the country, the US Senate has ended - for now - funding for ICE!! We need to keep it up to ensure they stop hurting us and actually leave our communities. Not one more penny for ICE!!

Three months ago I was hooting at the Metropolitan Airports Commission about ICE flights. Today they’ve sent me to holler at Congress. I’ll do my damndest to make you proud, Minnesota! #MNinDC

🚨 BREAKING: MN clergy and faith leaders gathered outside Signature Aviation — the deportation hub at MSP Airport — for a prayer vigil honoring the 3,000+ Minnesotans abducted and deported. Let Congress know: No more funding for ICE. 📣

ICE OUT of MN press conf at 10. www.youtube.com/live/MqHJXZf...

Cannot believe how far the bar has been lowered but this somehow feels legitimately useful to hear out loud. Because what virtually every single Minnesotan is doing is simply recording, saying words, and possibly using a whistle. That is virtually ALL anyone is doing as the feds claim "escalation".

Our state continues to suffer under the economic terrorism of Ice and this regime. We are signatories on this letter, calling for our representatives to fight back and to fight for our small businesses. www.startribune.com/immigration-...

📚 MN lawmakers need to hear how federal attacks are hurting our kids & childcare programs. 🏛️ So we’re bringing storytime to the State Capitol. Join parents & providers calling on #mnleg to defend childcare! 📅 Feb 18 • 2 PM • Centennial Office Building 🔗 bit.ly/childcare_storytime

🔉 Yesterday, faith, community, and labor leaders met with Congressman Brad Finstad, calling on him to halt funding for ICE and get #ICEOutOfMN. 🔗 Let Congress know how you feel at www.iceoutnowmn.com

Here in DC to help convince Congress we should hold ICE accountable and not fund this lawless, reckless organization!! Contact your member of congress now and tell them to vote no!! ICE must leave Minnesota now!!

I can't speak for all, but I can say Minnesota hears you and thanks you for remembering us.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE: "I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.** He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Amen. Amen. Amen.

Upping this for no particular reason

Well now, I got all invested in FG only shutout. Really disappointed in all these 4th quarter TDs.

I love this!

Just circling back, in case anyone needed clarity...

the fake conspiracies are a distraction from the real conspiracies... this is what I found again and again while researching Doppelganger. And Bannon is doing it in overdrive these days.

Saturday, February 14 I am co-hosting a townhall for residents of manufactured homes, in partnership with @isaiahmn.org. RSVP required. Visit bit.ly/mhrc-agtownhall to register.

From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X) "Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

A black hole is right. There hasn't been an NSF Director since April 2025; not sure about the Deputy Director. I can't find any information about program officers or leadership on the NSF website.

Minneapolis City Council likely to pass $1 million in rental assistance funding today in response to financial hardship caused by ongoing federal occupation of the Twin Cities. Source of the money is contingency funds. Hennepin County will administer it.

3,000 – 700 = still too many ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA

wow

Bovino needs to go. Noem needs to go. Miller needs to go. But firing or impeaching any of these people will not unilaterally change what’s happening in Minnesota. That’s why Congress needs to exert some muscle over DHS/ICE funding.

Some great news this morning!

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Liam and his dad are finally free and on their way back home to Minnesota. They never should have been kidnapped in the first place. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/5-yea...

I live on the ride route and I cannot emphasize enough that the ride started passing my house 50 minutes ago and is 👏🏻 still 👏🏻 going 👏🏻. ICE OUT.

🚨 URGENT: Today, Target kicked peaceful Minnesotans out of their stores for singing — meanwhile ICE agents who harass, assault, and abduct people are allowed to roam freely. 📞 Call 1 (800) 440-0680 and tell Target: speak up, stand with your communities, and demand #ICEOutNOW!

One powerful narrative strain from close analysis of commentary about, & most critically from, upstanders in MN is true dawning no one is coming to save them. Justified belief some force will intervene shattered & alongside incredible moral purpose & community cohesion, catalyzed current heroism.

📣 A powerful letter from a Duluth childcare provider. We made it easy for you to read it all. TL;DR: This is awful and really hurting our kids. It needs to stop.

🔊 Jesus wouldn’t be silent — and neither will we. MN clergy are in D.C. calling for no more funding for ICE and #ICEOutNow. 🔗 Take action: bit.ly/iceoutofmn

We’ve been on the streets all day with @bradlander.bsky.social and because we had so many patrols out, multiple abductions were prevented. The world is looking to us for inspiration, and we will keep showing them how we show up for our neighbors.

🚨📣 HAPPENING NOW: MN clergy are headed to D.C. with a clear message… Not another cent for ICE. We demand #ICEOutOfMN and out of every community they’re harming. And those who murdered #ReneeGood and #AlexPretti must be held legally accountable. 🔗 Take action with us at bit.ly/iceoutofmn

Kristi Noem must be impeached. ICE must be abolished. Democrats in the Senate cannot fund DHS. Trump has created a militarized police force accountable only to him. These agents need to leave our cities NOW.
