In a way, we ARE paying for it. Paying in lost daycare hours, lost sleep. Small businesses are suffering, particularly those that are immigrant owned. And people are paying with their lives.

Masked ICE gestapo agents just murdered an ICU nurse after assaulting him, stealing the firearm he was lawfully carrying, spraying him with chemicals, then restraining him so they could shoot him point-blank. And the federal government's response is to shield the killers and justify the killing.

I just want people outside of Minneapolis to watch this and imagine listening to that noise over you literally all the time

Text of the video posted by Mac Randolph “Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point.”

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

“.. He cared about people deeply ..,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong ..” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/national/202...

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

Minneapolis delegation to the MN Senate: ICE is a direct threat to the life and liberty of every member of our community and is only bringing chaos and violence. The agents who participated must be arrested and brought to justice in a transparent and thorough investigation.

We are asking community to please submit any photo or video evidence here: hennepinprosecutor.evidence.com/axon/communi...

Proud to be a Minnesotan. I made tater tot hotdish for dinner in honor of my people.

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

Here in Minnesota we are organized and we love our neighbors, no matter where they come from. Today we are showing that with a general strike. Join us so we can show the world what Minnesota is all about.

The general strike today, and the Whipple building blockade, and the march downtown - all amazing and incredible turnouts, but nothing is hitting me so hard as the masses of clergy who showed up to the airport to protest this morning. And I'm not even religious.

TWIN CITIES FOLKS WHO WANT TO HELP AND DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START: I put together a big list of resources. Do you want to deliver groceries? do people's laundry? work in community defense? I want to help you get connected! naomikritzer.com/2026/01/19/h...

it is -10 here today. I was supposed to go do a volunteer shift standing outside loading groceries into people’s cars to deliver to families stuck at home. just got a call not to come in because they have too many volunteers already. if you were wondering if the cold would stop us.

I’m the one in the brown hat. What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs. Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car. #AbolishICE

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Today, may their boogers freeze in their nose and stay that way forever.

Victor Manuel Diaz was taken from his community in MN by ICE, brought to a detention camp in Texas, and has now died. Like you and I, Victor Manuel Diaz was human being who deserved dignity and safety. He should be alive today, and would be if it not for this brutal regime. May he rest in peace.

If you’re outraged about protests in churches i wonder if you know what ICE is doing there www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/268977/...

The Minnesota Star Tribune has reporters write about the ICE crackdown in Minnesota, then emails the next day’s layouts to Des Moines, Iowa, to be printed, then trucks the printed papers back to Minnesota for delivery, then can’t get the newspapers delivered because of the ICE crackdown in Minnesota

It’s not “inauthentic” to want our immigrant community to get direct support. You’re raising money off our community’s pain. Here’s how to actually meet the moment: –Support a housing fund –Support a food drive –Cover legal needs –Tell DFL leadership to make caucuses virtual because it’s not safe

If you are in the field, and being harassed or pepper sprayed, let ACLU MN know immediately through this portal: www.aclu-mn.org/ice-feds-form/ 2/2

Guidance from Ag Ellison about the federal injunction issued yesterday in the ACLU MN case. It’s important people know their rights protected under this order and the ACLU is tracking if/when it’s being violated to bring it to the judges attention. aclu-mn.org/ice-feds-form/ 1/2

Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military

Strike!!!

Fascists are obsessed with aesthetics. It's the bedrock of their appeal to their supporters. Confronting them in ways that make them look weak & absurd is highly effective. It's ESSENTIAL to make it obvious to everyone that these people are indeed irredeemable losers.

From an optics perspective... the protesters being the ones waving the US flag while Bovino et al looks like every awful nazi inspired movie we've ever seen... hats off to Minnesotans.

DE ICER ICE OUT OF MN Powderhorn Art Sled Rally Minneapolis

I really enjoy how much Minnesotans have utilized *our literal weather* to our advantage against out-of-state racists.

Costco really just thinks on another level. A rotisserie chicken hanger??

True fact: As Governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem was banned from all tribal lands in the state because she was such a racist fuck towards the native community

Shoutout to my toddler who just finally fell asleep. Totally needed a long and drawn out bedtime tonight girl, two thumbs up.

Angie Craig is now arguing for the brilliant reform of ... making ICE wear body cameras. Angie, Jonathan Ross filmed himself killing a woman on his own phone and released it to the press.

A former federal agent after watching the New York Times breakdown of the ICE shooting:

Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE kidnapping and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost. Learn more: www.minneapolismn.gov/getting-arou...

shooting a woman in the face is not an optics problem, it is a *problem* problem

Aaaaand it’s about time to shut down this post.

Is this a bad time to wonder…uh…who is running for governor?

Mike Johnson: "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do"

Dear neighbor, We are seeing a lot of immigration enforcement activity in the Phillips area of South Minneapolis this morning. Please be on alert, safe, and make an adequate plan. We continue to see a need for neighbors to be observers and patrol our neighborhoods. 1/

Just want to highlight at the request of an org, for folks in Minnesota—if you are looking for something to do that isn’t ICE watch, the Hope Church Food Drive on here needs 200 delivery drivers every week to meet their distribution goals. Link to volunteer is in the food support section.

Getting removed from the neighborhood signal chat because I accidentally added the editor of The Atlantic.

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.
