Hennepin County dispatch got a panicked call from a Department of Homeland Security supervisor in Minneapolis requesting assistance because “we only have a few officers but we have 60-70 agitators fighting them.” Hennepin deputies didn’t witness any attacks on agents. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Disheartening to see federal agents take two neighbors on 29th & Pillsbury. Chemical irritants were used on observers by them. MPD showed up on scene, created a pathway for these federal agents to kidnap our neighbors, and assisted with controlling the space. Disappointing and heartbreaking.

MINNEAPOLIS: This week is already intense. Abductions continue daily. Community continues to mobilize, monitor, interrupt and organize against these masked gestapo invaders. So many ways to get involved - Do you need help connecting with a group in your area? My DMs are open! All hands on deck.

I don’t know how to process the horrific fire hose of tragedy that has been omnipresent but has spiked this weekend, and I suspect I’m not alone. We aren’t meant to carry this much suffering and be able to function at “normal” capacity. Be gentle with yourself and others, if you can.

there were like 4 distinct massive tragedies this weekend why was this weekend evil

Good morning

Could all the American influencers pushing in tandem for more guns in Australian just Fuck. The. Hell. Off. Thank you.

Creating a thread of egregious ICE actions in the Twin Cities over the last 12 days. For those who aren't plugged into what's going on - it can feel remote and "not so bad." Likewise for folks far away. So this collection of stories and links aims to share a small part of the story.

Hi from Minnesota

silver wants the TESCREAL party actually

tbf he makes Heather Cox Richardsonism sound really based

what the fuck are you talking about man

Michael C. Rockefeller got shipwrecked in 1963, washed up on an island, and was promptly eaten by cannibals.

Frankly I think this raises my overall estimate of How Angry This Guy Is by at least 15% and it was already pretty close to the top of the gauge. bsky.app/profile/pfla...

I genuinely don't know if this is a "Minnesotan" thing or an "old guy of a certain age" thing but in case it's Minnesotan and people need an anger translator: this guy is so angry he could just about set something on fire with his mind.

Dear neighbor, This morning, ICE surrounded a construction site with Latino workers in this dangerously cold weather. One worker had to leave in an ambulance because they were forced to stay on the roof of the construction site as ICE attempted to kidnap them. 1/

It’s Day 13 of the massive ICE operation in Minnesota, where temperatures have just now climbed to the day’s high of 2°F 🧵

Donald Trump has brought his lawlessness to Minnesota, sending ICE agents here to divide and terrorize our communities. But House DFLers will always stand with our neighbors. We are Minnesotans. And Minnesotans have each other’s backs.

PLEASE donate to our Venmo! We have trusted friends and collaborators bringing heat sources to as many people as we can find but we are running out of money and it is unbearably cold. Your neighbors need your help. @supplydepotmpls 💕💸

Bovino's daddy killed a woman while driving drunk, a crime for which he seeks to deport immigrants.

I’m at Albi Kitchen on Nicollet and they could definitely use more support these days. We need to work hard to keep our Somali-owned businesses afloat while the community is being targeted.

Mood.

Change my mind: the one and only exception to ACAB is the fictional Marge Gunderson in the movie Fargo (USA, 1996, Coen Bros).

stop applauding local police and politicians for calling a press conference about how they are also appalled that authoritarians violated you while they stood by and told you there was nothing they could do to protect you even tho they are paid to protect you.

Chief O'Hara will be hired to reform ICE (that is what his performance is about by the way, career advancement) under a Democrat, a kinder gentler extrajudicial jack boot 🙄 we have to stop this merry-go-round of horseshit to dressed up horseshit.

When this regime is in the dustbin, Dems will abandon the obvious and well founded of abolishing ICE and pivot to the bullshit of reform ICE (which will result in even more funding). Because we have shallow politics in this country, even from so called allies.

A gentle reminder that this comp is superb (it even made my top ten albums list for 2025) seawindofbattery.bandcamp.com/album/save-t...

Remarkable work that @citiesandmemory.bsky.social does and this yearly effort is always worth your time. (They've also separately just released another annual project, _Sounds of the Year 2025_.)

This article is sympathetic towards ICE but still a good read because it's clear that Minneapolis and Saint Paul are doing AMAZING work (with a little assistance from our weather). www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

If cost has kept you from picking up There Is No Place for Us (which is totally understandable), good news: the ebook is *$1.99* today—93% off!—on Kindle, B&N, Bookshop, and elsewhere. So grateful to everyone who's been reading and sharing the book this year. It means a lot.

Please. He abducted himself. The dude he was attempting to kidnap tried to push him out of the car and then they drove him to a police station while on the phone with 911. How many kidnappers try to push their kidnapees out of the car, call 911, or drive to a police station? Very few I'd wager

The agent, who’s assigned to another HSI office and is in Minnesota on “temporary detail for an operation,” is unfamiliar with the Twin Cities, did not know where they were going, and “was in fear that he was being abducted.”

If it’s not painfully obvious to you that the police love ice, I want to know what media you’re consuming. Four different police departments came to a commercial district in Edina tonight to enforce a noise ordinance. They were there to make sure ICE got enough sleep.

So incredibly sad to read this. My copies of Robot World and Vortura are deeply treasured, as is the cassette tape I have of "B.E.I.P". I don't believe there has ever been any other band like this one. #RIPBrentMcLachlan. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Is the antifa hq in the room with you right now?

After the past two weeks, seeing so many failed ICE raids today feels so damn good. Freak them out, get in their heads, make them feel like the incompetent losers they are! I’m so proud of this city.

There was a successful thwarting of ICE in St Paul today. Neighbors came together and refused ICE and they left empty-handed. Please get involved in your community and join the effort if you are able. There are a variety of roles including for people that work during the day to support others.

ICE's plan to lose the war has entered the Napoleon in Russia phase with winter deployments in snowy steppe without dedicated cold-weather kit

This morning was a whole lot

Between this and previous rulings, U.S. corporations have effectively put a bullet in the head of labor protections, consumer protection, public safety, environmental law, and corporate oversight I wish journalists would go a bit lighter on the legalese and a bit heavier on the real-world impact
