Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

"Why don't Americans–" Motherfucker, I live in Minneapolis

ICYMI - Samuel L. Jackson (!!) narrated this powerful video for Saturday's No Kings rally about the strength of Minnesotans protesting ICE: "When your neighbors are being attacked and your communities are being targeted, you don't give up. You don't look away. You don't back down. You showed up."

look i'm not a big "judge people by the media they consume" person but if you watch the new wizard bigot show that gives money to Rowling, I will think less of you and trust you less.

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

Oh, look, replies are turned off. Your mayor won't read anything here, but your neighbors will. Fuck you, Jacob.

Let’s get it done! www.fox9.com/news/dfl-law...

Such a weird thought but if you have any kids you know in high school or early college, they are about to be inundated with army recruiters trying to get their attention so maybe warn them to not fall for that?

US citizen abducted in Minnehaha in south Minneapolis at 9am this morning

This. I am not a big account but I am disgusted by anyone who goes off blaming the people of any state for passing any of these draconian and harmful laws. If you say they deserve this, fuck you. Trans people are being harmed in horrific ways. Either figure out how to help or shut up.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org

One way to help is to support trans people escape from states gearing up for anti-trans pogroms by donating to the Trans Continental Pipeline. And, while you're at it, follow @erininthemorning.com & @esqueer.net & support their work covering/defending human rights

Exactly what I've been thinking. I'm really hoping this isn't dropouts jump the shark moment.

The ICE surge in Minnesota isn’t over — it just moved outside of the Metro. ICE agents are still terrorizing innocent people in the suburbs. They’re targeting bus stops and hospitals and parks and being more deceptive than ever. This isn’t over until ICE is out of the ENTIRE state.

Haven Watch—the people who wait outside Whipple 24/7 to help those who have just been released, often alone and in the cold—is one of the local efforts that makes me cry every single time I think about it. I know there are a million requests for $ and we're all tapped out, but if you can help...

If you've seen all the shit that's happened in the Twin Cities recently (Philando, George Floyd, Hortmans, Annunciation, ICE), seen how we've come together during that, seen how much we care about our home, and that DOESN'T make you love it here MORE? Then what the fuck is wrong with you? Go.

Since the media has moved on from us again, ICE is still occupying MN and making life hell. You know what silly little thing I miss? Being able to drive somewhere without constantly looking at license plates and drivers. I just wanna sing in my car on my morning commute.

another guy who never protested before radicalized to the point of tears by watching masked ICE agents terrify children in his neighborhood the Republicans are not ready or mentally capable of comprehending the backlash they have generated

To the shock of nobody, ICE has not left MN. This was yesterday.

The ICE occupation isn't over yet, and neither is ICE Watch.

This ice “fish-fluencer” wants ICE to get out of Minnesota. Nate Pischke has turned his indignation and outrage about the largest deployment of masked and armed ICE agents in US history into a call for hunters and fishermen to speak out. "Nobody wants these ding dongs in our fucking city."

Please don't think anything is back to normal in Minnesota. Nothing is normal. I know we’re strong. Don’t know if it’s enough. If you don't live here, your Minnesota friends may tell you that it's going to be okay but I think a lot of that is them being nice so you won't worry. It's bad here.

I am not a Hank Green or Paul F Tompkins in terms of reach, but I am a little alarmed this plea for public exposure is from Minnesota. Things are bad out there! Reporting has been systematically under attack most of my life so not surprised it's not on TV. Take care of each other.

This is kind of a long shot request but I guess it's worth trying. Hey @hankgreen.bsky.social, @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social, @itswilwheaton.bsky.social News of what is happening in Minnesota is leaving the media cycle and it's getting worse here. Agents have not left the state.

Living in Minnesota right now feels like being in the emergency room. Literally everyone is suffering in different ways, even if it's "just" a badly twisted ankle rather than a kidney stone or a full-on heart attack. The staff are working as hard as they can but energy and resources are dwindling.

It’s day 70 of the ICE occupation of MSP. ICE continues to terrorize our neighbors, there are still 2,000 agents here, even as the attention of the world has moved on. When we say ICE OUT, we mean ICE out everywhere.

i love that they're just ... giving the dildos back so people can throw them again!

"Hey I'm going back to the dildo box, I just had the idea to juggle them" Cameraman who would later be arrested after singing "FASCIST DILDO CLEANUP CREW DOO DAH DOO DAH": @ckinferno.bsky.social But don't ask him questions, he won't say shit ✊ (posted with permission)

OK so Margaret Killjoy's infomercial for "Shut the fuck up" is my new favourite thing. "When I get arrested, there's only one strategy I trust... I shut the fuck up!" - @margaret.bsky.social

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

It’s so hard to describe what this is like to people who aren’t here. The ICE/BCP occupation seeps into everything. It’s not just the horror of the big stuff. It’s the little stuff, too: helicopters all night, vigilance during every trip out of the house, guilt at having any downtime at all.

A PRESCHOOL

Dear neighbor, It is not the time to let your guard down, nor is it the time to stop organizing. While Bovino will be leaving Minneapolis along with some U.S. Border Patrol agents, there is still no specific plan that has been communicated to the public. 1/

I wrote about my time in Minneapolis last week, about what is involved in creating bottom-up, decentralized networks of care. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/our-neighb...

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

give us what we want or we kill another hostage

Because you need to see it too. (Alt text in first reply)

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement. "I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish. Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature. Minneapolis, MN

for loring park, lotus will be open from 12-4 to anyone seeking shelter and will be serving free pho

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

I keep seeing leftists from outside of Minneapolis say they’ve seen all this before, and no, you haven’t. I’ve been at this for 30+ years and I haven’t either. It’s not what you’re picturing. This is something else

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

I hope this inspires more and more journalists to come and report on this. People seem to think this is the same level of Chicago or Portland and it's not. Chicago got 700 ice agents with a population of 9 million. We've got 3000 with a population of less than 4 million.

I'm not okay. This is not okay. None of this should be happening.

Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.
