I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

There was an abduction in front of my apartment this morning. Afterwards, a Hennepin County Sheriff car drove by. Around 10-15 of us screamed at them for help, seeking assistance with the abandoned, window-smashed car. Some ran after them. They continued driving. 😑

Even my grandparents’ & mom’s tiny little precinct in Itasca County/district 3A, (about as far north and outstate as it gets), approved an Abolish ICE resolution. Mom says 8 other precincts that they know of up there passed it too. They had more people attend than ever. We’re gonna win.

I think one of the reasons folks have such a spectacularly bad time at caucuses is because people sell it to newcomers as fun, folksy neighborhood-level politics. People come in with (largely) miscalibrated expectations & so are even more disappointed.

28th and Garfield

People keep saying "Getting arrested is bad, actually" and while I'd certainly prefer not to be, the administration's entire strategy is built around the idea that I will live in fear of it, and shape my behavior to avoid it, and cry in shame if I am. That is how THEY CONTROL YOU.

cat pictures for morale.

I've found myself trying to help a group of 4 families trying to pay rent for February. They need $5500. I can cover most of it, but I'm starting to get tapped out. If anyone can help contribute anything, I'd appreciate it. Venmo: @eikleinbaum

Need is met! 🫶🏻

Only need $420 more!!

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota. people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

Smh

my throat/upper chest still hurts from whatever chemical ICE was spraying observers with this morning. finally time for me to get a respirator ig

I know Will wasn’t the first to say it, but I cant stop thinking about “we will never have as many guns as they have/they will never have as many people as we have” and how easy that makes it to pick a strategy

FUCK YEAAAAHHHHHHH IT IS!!!!!!!

people can’t be trusted with streams anymore. people are fucking plate checking what they see on streams and cluttering chats. the FBI used a photo from a stream in citing a local’s arrest. stop doing this. stop watching these

shout out to Hennepin county central library, a hero of today’s march

My fear is not anarchists, socialists, communists, or liberals. It is the neighborhood libertarians who are turning on ICE due to their unconstitutional attacks No, we absolutely do not want your dumbass giving “armed patrols” of schools. We do not want to participate in your shootout fantasy.

lol @ the U telling people there will be corrective action for striking tomorrow and then cancelling school for the cold

I’d love to hear ideas about how people are speaking to each other in RR chats when the information sent is not appropriate or not a SALUTE. Is DMing the sender appropriate? 🧹 are not working for me and responding in the chat seems like it may perpetuate the problem. Not sure what’s most effective.

oh no! i accidentally collaborated with ICE! share graphic as needed.

Twin Cities folk: If you work from home or take care of children or old people in your own home, and can cycle loads of laundry while you do it, check this out as a way to truly help without neglecting your other commitments: thepeopleslaundrympls.com

Every time I need to do laundry I have a small crisis about the location of my laundry card. Yes, I know it should be in my key rack by the front door. No, it is somehow never there. Every week like a ritual I spend 30 minutes to hours searching for this damn thing. Bleh. I want tap-to-pay laundry.

🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Future ethics in medical research students- get a head start on your syllabus and read it now. Because this will be taught as an example of unethical research 👇🏻

Some non ICE info in MN: UMN Women BB is losing 61-48 to UCLA right now. You can listen online at KFAN+ (not regular KFAN).

I emailed my medical school asking why it still provides links to share content on X, given that it produces non-consensual sexual images, promotes anti-vaccine propaganda, and it's owner took an axe to agencies providing research funding & employment at the U of MN. The response was...not good 1/3

THREAD. Anyone who is telling you that Democrats should strategically be starting conversations about whether ICE needs better "training" is completely out of their mind.

“If in the unlikely event that an officer or agent of an external law enforcement agency appears unannounced on a University campus or property, University faculty, staff, students, and community members should not interfere with the actions of law enforcement.” REALLY, UMN?

ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims. Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

I only ask how much more anyone would want to see before deciding on maximal obstruction against this administration

Either you gone lose your values or learn to fight for them

so gutted that round table coffee closed. it was a top 5 summer activity to bike over there for coffee on a Saturday morning and cruise on the river pkwy bike paths home

Yesterday’s cooking now in the freezer. Chickpea curry, black bean chili (even made it from dried black beans) and white rice. My goal for 2026 is to eat out 2x a month at most. I’ll bring some frozen leftovers to the freezer at work too in case I forget or need breakfast or something. Gotta save $$

I’m reading Copaganda rn and just got to a bit about mandatory minimums being a campaign strategy to get Democrats in office. No research done on the effects and if they actually work to reduce crime. Pure campaign strategy!!! Jfc. This book is incredible. I think everyone needs to read it.

He did pretty well at the vet, and everyone loved him, which makes sense, because he is the sweetest boy.

At the vet for Wilbur’s annual checkup. He loves hiding in sinks when he is scared. There is no sink in this room. He has been betrayed.

💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️ Who needs Spotify wrapped when you have Year in Transit? lol

At the UMN v Maryland WBB game. Double OT just started. Thought the Gophers were gonna win in the first OT but Maryland hit a 3 and then MN went out of bounds thanks to a no call on a foul so Maryland got the ball back and tied it 😭

won't someone cry for the landlords selling their property for $150,000 more than they paid, after making $109,000 as a local politician who constantly concern trolled any effort to make life better for renters

Idk why the women’s sportswear industry pushes 7/8 leggings. Where did that come from? Like no, I want full length to cover my hairy ankles that I don’t shave in winter, thanks.

This UMN software purchasing call today was so painful. I don’t know why this process feels so soul sucking to me but it is!!
