The Minneapolis “dirtbag lawyer” challenging ICE detentions—and winning

Happy Lent. This Friday we're learning tofu.

I need a bumper sticker that says "Honk LOUDER, I'm listening to Bob Dylan's hit 31st Album, Love and Theft, released on 9/11"

Lowkenjenningually,

How it feels being a Wild fan in the big 26:

Begun, the Jacket Wars have

Stump!

I generally don't like to use Lyft or Uber in the city unless I really have to. When there's a public transit agency I sorta feel like I already Have A Guy For That ready to go.

some of you are looksmaxxing when you need to be booksmaxxing

As Bono says, "we love you more than hate loves war"

Metro Surge sounds like a new flavor of Mountain Dew

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

I wonder if concentration camp warehouses will be remembered as the ultimate goal of the suburban experiment and the federal government's colonization of our urban spaces

My take on a Minnesota iceberg

Super Bowl ad verdict: - Grand Prize goes to Hellmann's. Meal Diamond is a good pun, and who doesn't like Andy Samberg and Elle Fanning? - Honorable mention to Budweiser. I am a sucker for America and cute animals. - No other awards will be given tonight as the rest were unremarkable or evil.

I for one await the day we nationalize Starlink as a public utility of the United Nations

Ring camera search party™️ hits different with slavecatchers in your town

I can see the neighbors' tv out the window and they must be streaming the game because what they're watching is clearly 10-12 sec behind broadcast tv

A Minnesota Atlas

I am always fascinated by people who love to talk about the settler-colonial mindset of suburbs &highways and yet don't consider the colonial nature of bike lane & transit expansion

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

I'm starting to think that whatever trials are held might need to include the Senior Senator from New York as a defendant.

The Klobuchar Question has gone from a joking whisper to a sharp ringing that will hang in people's ears as they go home tonight.

I don't think The Battle of Minneapolis has been won yet. But we *will* win. You'll never silence the voice of the voiceless. youtu.be/sWmog0Ue4Wo?...

To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world: - He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither

ICE is now the strongest force for creating a collective Minnesotan identity since the Halloween Blizzard, Lake Wobegon, and buffalo plaid were invented.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Frey is quoted as saying "We cannot be at a place right now in America where we have two governmental entities that are literally fighting one another," To be clear, I'm not sure the best role for the City of Minneapolis right now. But the Boy Mayor is doing jack shit and should stop playing pretend

There are two New Yorker articles circulating about Minneapolis right now. One is a heartfelt dispatch about living in a constitutional warzone. www.newyorker.com/news/dispatc... One is a bit of fluff about Jacob Frey, the Grown Up In The Room Mayor. www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol...

"Through this he was attested to be righteous, God bearing witness to his gifts, and through this, though dead, he still speaks" (Heb 11:4)

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

What is the state of Minnesota's strategy here? Walz & co seem to be reactive rather than proactive, encouraging constitutional observation and nonviolent protest. Whether they realize it or not, they are setting a trap...

Truly one could make an argument that the St Paul Vulcans are the nation's oldest organization dedicated to the overthrow of ICE-based government

Unclear to me if this fucking five year old kid getting kidnapped is breaking through outside of the Twin Cities and I don’t want to speak for anyone else but this has really steeled my resolve. This shit cannot be allowed to stand.

Dudes rock

Like it or not this is the platonic ideal of what a Wisconsin coach looks like. Peak form.

It's really quite delightful to see the other site joining the Stancilist Popular Front

Watching TV coverage and seeing a lot of @ehbforbet.bsky.social and his iconic coat. Proud and glad to have leaders that lead.

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

Jesse Ventura will be the head of the puppet opposition party in MN like Sliwa will be in New York

Maybe I'm out of the loop but what exactly is the point of an autonomous zone in Minneapolis this time around
