NatGeo is running their National Parks series tonight. Roll into the weekend with a little boost of endorphins. I can actually feel my BP dropping. Love you, Minnesota. Happy Friday. Fuck 🧊

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

BREAKING: Judge enters TRO blocking feds from interfering with or arresting peaceful protesters in Minnesota. Judge Kate Menendez, Biden appointee. Order: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Great. Just fucking great.

The fact that this is being condoned (and orchestrated by) the same party that says children will be scarred by the sight of two men holding hands, or traumatized by the use of medical face masks is just.... Well, not surprising at all actually, which only makes it more horrifying.

Renee Good was still alive when paramedics arrived on the scene, according to the Minneapolis Fire Department’s incident report www.startribune.com/renee-nicole...

There is a new sign on the Edgerton Pedestrian bridge over 694 this morning. (Going off of memory as traffic was fast and sketchy today.) FUCK TRUMP FUCK ICE YOU ALL HAVE TINY DICKS

We made it

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say... Too much 🧊

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

It's heartbreaking that our community is once again forced to comfort each other after needless tragedy at the hands of overreaching authoritarians. We join our neighbors in their grief, their anger, and the unequivocal assertion that ICE does not belong here. Some things you can do »

The parody biopic will just be this video and all the other whoopsies.

Today at the Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota while federal agents rushed the protest crowd, one agent is filmed pushing a protester and slipping on ICE. Another agent has his pepperball gun broken and he slips on the cartridge holder while dropping pepperballs all over.

Checks out.

One more hour! Can’t wait to see everyone at @blackhartstp.com tonight!

The people of Minneapolis are highly engaged in defending our community from the federal occupation. A meeting in the Whittier neighborhood last night required three overflow rooms, with speakers having to go room to room to make sure everyone heard them. 838 people at Whittier Elementary.

‼️ Minneapolis residents, specifically Cedar-Riverside neighborhood. Outside agitators are coming into the city to protest and stir shit. Don't take the bait from these racist assholes. Guidance for residents 👇

Today’s the Day!!!! We can’t wait to see y’all’s over @blackhartstp.com tonight for our FIRST Growing Up Trans event!! It’s gonna be a fun night of stories, drag, comedy, and more! So be there! P.S. 🧊 and 🧊 supporters are not welcome to any of our events.

Minneapolis, avoid the green gas. archive.is/qKlnw

Let’s help our Northside neighbors clean up after the federal attack last night. I’ll add wear a respirator or gas mask. It’s still in the air.

A clear, brief summary of what's happening here in Minnesota - In case you're wondering why so many people are angry at the feds who are "just following orders."

Oh man, I just realized the seed art at the State Fair this year is going to be *something*.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

South Minneapolis, I just woke up with my eyes burning, from all the gas on the other side of town, so we need to be paying attention to this too

The feed: Mpls Mpls Mpls MLS Mpls Mpls MLS Iran Mpls

Not long after shooting another person in Minneapolis, ICE invaded a private home with flash bangs and tactical gear, and broke down the door. Minneapolis is under siege.

North Mpls was already a high risk area for severe asthma. A large portion of the area was torn apart by a tornado in 2011 and there are still tarps on roofs. Kids were already underfed and easily drawn to questionable activities. It was getting better. But you only see these stories.

🚨BREAKING: ICE unleashes ONSLAUGHT of flash bang grenades and chemical ammunition at unarmed Minneapolis protesters in WAR-LIKE attack. Several protesters struck. Our reporter @zdroberts.bsky.social struck in the head. "I got hit in the head really bad." LIVE NOW ⬇️

So... Ordering more first aid supplies.

A shovel AND a broom. Everyone in MN keeps these on their keychains. Totally plausible.

It’s true. We need to keep fighting so your neighbors can be there too. Let the memory of our neighbors who are already gone be the motivation to put in another shift, deliver another sack of groceries, organize the church ladies, and do whatever else you can.

And POOF - they're gone

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person. Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured. BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

Not 20 minutes later, there was another shooting.

Unsurprising. And infuriating.

This is horrendous, even for Trump. This needs to be a bigger story. Housing ends homelessness. Solidarity ends authoritarianism. We need both.

Boycott the Cup. I know it hurts but what this admin is doing hurts more.

Hey everyone, We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history. Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

I didn't write this for people in the Twin Cities. I wrote this to everyone else, my feeble attempt to try to be witness to the occupation of Minnesota and the chaos of every single day right now. open.substack.com/pub/wburdine...

This morning at school drop off my pre-k daughter said “good morning lifeguard!” to the crossing guard, and that just about covers it

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

I love this, because in 100% of cases people saying this *are* asking questions, nobody is preventing them, so you can detect the part of sentence the always leave off ... "without being questioned back."

Typical* Tuesday *Typical in a rare time of immense risk (ie NOT typical)

The pro-life party claims to worry about our children. It is a lie.
