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!

A lot of the suburbs around Minneapolis & St. Paul are getting hit hard, including people just walking and getting snatched off the street. They also are continuing to be extra aggressive towards observers. Like Carrie said: NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

"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

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.

They are absolutely fucking everywhere today. If you can be out, go out

hey, y'all. my name is madi and i'm a reporter for the minnesota reformer. i cover the trump administration's impact on minnesotans, which means i've been out on the streets covering ICE in the twin cities. let me walk you through how we got here:

I spoke to a friend on the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota board. They need financial donations to keep up with the heightened demand for their services: www.ilcm.org ILCM is a nonprofit that provides free immigration legal representation to low-income immigrants and refugees in MN & ND

People keep asking what it's like living in Minneapolis right now. The best description I can think of is this: imagine any dystopian movie or book, except the resistance all have day jobs, snow to shovel and kids in sports.

When you run a fascist out of Minneapolis, you are entitled to a traditional feast that honors your Minnesota ancestors.

The specific phrase "happened in the 600 block of 24th Avenue North in Minneapolis" doesn't appear in the Star Tribune coverage linked in AltNPS's comments (by their followers, of course, not by AltNPS), but it does appear verbatim in FOX 9's report on the shooting. www.fox5ny.com/news/minneap...

Petition to change the Minnesota motto from the French "L'Étoile du Nord" ("The Star of the North") to "Tread On Me and Slip," with inspiration from Scotland's "NEMO ME IMPUNE LACESSIT" ("No one provokes me with impunity")

Watch my address on the ongoing federal presence in Minnesota: youtu.be/fGTsYXBWQgU

This is a great organized list of how you can help folks in Minnesota who are under siege from the lawless federal forces of ICE. The list is broken up into different kinds of orgs so you can easily focus your donation where you want

Reminder for Mpls & beyond: "Say Her Name" is reserved for Black women specifically due to the erasure of Black women's lives & deaths & stories. It's been delightful to see the play on Renee Nicole's last name "She was Good" etc If trying to lead a chant, maybe: "Who was she?" "She was Good!"

Hey @officialpanera you've got an ICE problem at your knollwood location in st Louis Park MN. Seems like they haven't been able to resist your breakfast menu this week. Maybe take a Stand?

Actual Twin Cities news sources. Believe what you hear from them as opposed to national clickbait coming to our towns.

“Emerson does not have a mother today because one of you murdered a woman in cold blood yesterday.”

THANK YOU FROM MINNEAPOLIS Please understand this is huge

Right after Renée Good’s disgusting murder, a ICE goon was filmed kicking her memorial candles. Absolutely vile.

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

Murderer.

I can't stop crying thinking about this I love you all, I fucking love you all

NEW: Second video shows ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A woman, a U.S. citizen, was killed
