Apparently Minnesota police officers are “afraid they might get arrested or something worse” if they intervene when ICE agents are doing crimes. Meanwhile they let thousands of unpaid, unarmed Minnesotans go ahead and intervene instead. Their cowardice is breathtaking

Monty Don, duh

"ssfi" has entered the minnesota texting lexicon as an understood signoff

Goddamn, he ALWAYS looks good

video from iceout.org earlier today at the whipple outside minneapolis shows a hennepin county sheriff’s deputy shoving the head of a protestor who was already tackled into the ground we need someone to challenge dawanna witt for sheriff. this brutality happening under her watch is unacceptable

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

hey gen z welcome to republican governance

Anyways I’m crying

9 yr old: I don't even know what JD Vance looks like Me: *shows him a photo* 9 yr old: Oh... he kind of looks like that one meme of the guy who looks like a chubby baby

rep angie craig, running for US senate, spoke to UMN student dems in last night and finally had to address her vote in favor of the laken riley act! she was asked if she regretted it, or if her opinion had changed, and she said NO even after all the terror ICE brought to MN!

Abraham Lincoln never released a single Epstein File, think about that when you criticize Donald J Trump

Today marks 14 years since Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home. He had dreams to attend college in Florida and become a pilot, but he was murdered at age 17.

Trump administration tries to deprive poor Minnesotans of health care because brave Minnesotans stood up to them.

after failed military incursion, us government responds with economic sanctions

Love the glimpse into the beautiful mind that notated this used copy of Moby Dick I got

"Feels like I'm wearing the flag of Saint Paul! Flag of Saint Paul! Flag of Saint Paul!"

stupid sexy st paul

Dr Oz, with Vance standing behind him, announces that "we're going to for the first time take a massive action to defer funds to a state," then details they are defending $259m of funding for Medicaid programs in Minnesota that take care of pregnant women, seniors, and people with disabilities

JD Vance fucking sucks and he always will. This is a known fact.

holding a press conference to announce an illegal shakedown intended to punish a state who has refused to bow to them i think they lose this, and probably quickly, fwiw

They knew the infant was in the car. One of the agents moved the car from the road into their driveway and then left the keys to the car on the front porch of their house. This is on video. They said later there was nothing wrong with leaving the baby in the car b/c “It wasn’t hot outside”

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

I just heard the brother and sister in law of one of my team members was picked up by ICE in Baltimore late last week. Her brother is a US citizen, her SIL is from El Salvador. The assholes snatched them leaving their house and LEFT THEIR 6 WEEK OLD DAUGHTER ALONE IN THE CAR when they left the scene

While everybody’s online for SOTU, please consider taking a moment to support this incredible effort to feed folks in the Twin Cities. The work (that doesn’t just feed vegans, that’s just the organizing entity!) is more important than ever. The need isn’t decreasing, and your support is a lifeline.

To be fair, Canvas sucks and professors shouldn’t be using it

I can’t wait for jacket discourse 2.0 when all the jackets start hitting mailboxes later this week

I want you to put the word out there that we back up.

Feels like they should have found photos of actual hot young men to illustrate this story

the andrew mountbatten stuff shows that being a tenured antiwoke professor at harvard gives you more legal privileges and protection from the law than your family being divinely anointed to rule a country as absolute monarchs for 1,000 years

This is the eighth death in ICE custody in the last seven weeks.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right. Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement. This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

March 27, 1936: Portraits of the Führer are raised on official buildings across Berlin. This one at the Potsdamer Railway Station reads "Freedom - Peace"

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results" and i was like. oh!

The New York Times smeared AOC for saying “um”

So much more to do, but some updates on what’s been done. www.startribune.com/ice-masks-st...

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

🚨Every single Republican on the House Education Policy Committee voted against legislation that would prevent ICE agents from storming into public schools without a warrant. Minnesota Republicans would rather stand with Donald Trump than with our state’s students, teachers, and families.

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

Towns that question the value of an unsafe, costly, environmentally unsound, poorly governed monorail could be ‘left behind’, says Monorail Salesman

I find it interesting that the wave of reporting about Doug Wilson (as he continues to climb the ladders of power) rightly point out his racism and pro-slavery, but rarely ever mention the multiple child sex abuse scandals he presided over in his church/seminary.

I think men should have to show their marriage certificate to vote, and their wives should not be allowed to help them locate it.

Increasingly ICE seems to be sending single cars (lots of Subarus) with one agent (some women) to sit in various neighborhood all days. There’s also a belief some may be ICE-contracted bounty hunter types. They’re not as noticeable and it’s not clear what they’re casing, but they’re really lurking.

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

This was predictable and tragic. ICE has been driving recklessly through our communities with their signature disregard for human life.

Thinking about everyone in Minnesota I know who has dug into the couch cushions to make sure their neighbors can stay fed, housed, and get the legal support they need, and then there’s these bastards
