Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far. In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

✨ BHM Spotlight: Septima Poinsette Clark Born in Charleston, SC, Clark developed literacy and citizenship schools that helped thousands of Black Americans register to vote. Known as the “Mother of the Movement,” she proved that knowledge is power, and power changes history. #BlackHistoryMonth

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

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."

The Minnesotan and teammate Korey Dropkin faced off against Sweden in a hard-fought match.

Stand with Minnesota - they're standing with us.

Bad Bunny got help from a UW–Madison Puerto Rican history scholar (Jorell Meléndez-Badillo) to make sure his album visuals had real historical grounding. Honestly? More artists should do this. #JorellMeléndez-Badillo #Wisconsin #UWMadison #BadBunny

That’s America.

“Renee Goodman [sic], Alex Pretti – there are no words,” DeLauro said. “You said there were no words after the murder of those two individuals,” said Rev. Jack Perkins Davidson. “I think the words are ‘Abolish ICE.’” www.ctpublic.org/news/2026-02...

The danger of “we already knew who/what Trump is, so we don’t need to keep up with the latest outrage,” is that it can obscure the ratcheting steps by which he drops even faintest veneer of democratic practice. In general, each rhetorical escalation marks an IRL increase in state violence. “

Over 73,000 people are currently in ICE custody, the most ever... But that's not the only shocking number: - There has been a 2,450% increase in the number of people with no criminal record being held in ICE detention on any given day.

Trump is literally persecuting, scapegoating, hunting and deporting Christians right now; and calling them “illegals.”

Watch this, it's astonishing.

Amazon dropped $75M on the Melania doc — with a big chunk going into the Trumps' pockets. Since then, Amazon Web Services got a $580M Pentagon contract. And this week, Pete Hegseth visited Blue Origin facilities as the DoD overhauls how it hands out defense contracts. Always follow the money.

This is tremendous. Take the time to watch it.

Statement from Portland, OR, Mayor Keith Wilson following today's unprovoked attack by ICE on peaceful protesters. The image is an excerpt. The full letter is available at www.portland.gov/mayor/keith-...

I'm just going to keep saying this until I die: In a white supremacist patriarchy, you have value only insofar as you serve the white supremacist patriarchy. Kyle Rittenhouse & Ashli Babbitt did. Renee Good & Alex Pretti didn't. On Jan 6, the insurrectionists did. The cops didn't. Rinse, repeat.

From Minneapolis to Milan ICE out our cities. A massive protest against the deployment of ICE during the Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina took place earlier today. This comes after the Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala announced that ICE was unwelcome in the city.

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?

They are coming after those of us in independent media because we speak the truth!!

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.

“If anything is illegal, it’s taking him,” Douglas said. “They stopped him only because they saw an African couple. That’s the only basis they had.”

The Flores agreement set critical minimum standards for children in immigration detention. The Trump Administration wants to end it—and detain children indefinitely. The court must reject this cruel effort.

A group of Maine nurses just showed up at Susan Collins’ office to demand she vote against funding ICE following ICE’s killing of nurse Alex Pretti.

My operating assumption is that he tried to do a hasty coup in 2020 that failed, and so everything he does in his second term should be understood as laying the groundwork for a second coup to succeed.

In 1963, Rabbi Joachim Prinz stood before the world and warned: “The most urgent, the most disgraceful, the most shameful, and the most tragic problem is silence.” Not hatred. Not ignorance. Silence.

swapping Bovino for Homan isn’t a new approach. it’s putting an architect of Trump’s intentionally-cruel family separation policy in charge.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Minnesota is the best of us.

ICE is sending these kids to the concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, where they're preparing to have so many children that they're opening a new school there. They're actively hiring teachers now. I reported on it last month. We have to get people out of there.

This week in San Antonio I met two traumatized young boys who were locked up for 6 weeks at Trump’s “baby prison” in Texas. Taken when they checked in for a routine hearing, their mother waiting in the car with their backpacks for school. It’s insane this is happening.

Haunted by this excellent history by Lynn Nicholas, as we face the horrific stories today of children being manipulated and scarred by the terror of ICE. Shame on us.

This is a kitchen table issue. These children should be at kitchen tables, with their families. They should be at lunch tables, with their friends. Instead they are being kidnapped and trafficked

Besides everything else, "an incursion of armed agents who forcibly removed a U.S. citizen from a residence without presenting a warrant or allowing him to show identification" is simply incompatible with US civil liberties. In America's political imaginary, this is the very definition of tyranny.

This is unbearable.

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by. Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

Give it up for the @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social on Rt 4 in Paramus, NJ today✊🏻✊🏾✊ They’re amazing! 🤩

Danish parliamentarian Rasmus Jarlov speaking to MS NOW on Stephen Miller comments regarding Greenland: "I hope he’s kept away from young women, because that’s the mentality of a rapist. You can’t defend yourself, so I’m going to take you. That’s basically what he’s saying."

"We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly." -- MLK Jr., "Letter from a Birmingham Jail"

For decades, executives at big companies in Minnesota have been part of the state’s civic backbone — serving on nonprofit boards, weighing in on workforce issues, joining task forces focused on solving major social issues. Which is why the quiet right now is so striking.

“I just had a conversation with my dad who has been a citizen here for 30+ years - he doesn’t feel welcome or safe here in 🇺🇸 anymore. He’s going back to Chile.” (H/T @voteinorout.bsky.social )

It’s hard to overstate the destructive impact of Trump invading and taking over Greenland. It would end NATO, destroy our relationships with virtually every NATO country and lead to the further unraveling of the many economic benefits that now accrue to the US as the world abandons Trump’s America.

Everyone with authority must speak out now against Trump's depravity and lawlessness. Every Democratic leader. Every university, professional association, charity, and foundation head. Every CEO. Every religious leader. If they don't, history will condemn their cowardice and complicity.
