/3 In this moment of horror, look at the people of MN. They’re not an army. Few are trained for urban combat, through there are many veterans. They are young and old and rich and poor. They are standing up at great personal danger, defying a despicable Gestapo government and its vile apologists.

These people are so fucking brain dead.

I have spent my entire adult life being lectured by Republican politicians and conservative legal movement types about how important it is to preserve the sacred constitutional right to self-defense of *specifically this person* and then secret police murdered him in the street

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

"Drink whole milk, you'll come in 5th place" is an incredible ad campaign.

im getting disturbing reports that donald trump is doing exactly what he said he would and the results are exactly as disastrous as everyone said they would be

I don’t think it should come as a surprise to anyone that Minnesota consistently has the highest voter turnout in the country. Minnesotans believe in democracy and they’re proving they’re willing to fight for it.

Congratulations to the New England Patriots on advancing to the AFC Championship

“I think more than 350 of those cameras have gone out and are already deployed in the community now,” he said... www.404media.co/how-one-guy-...

good call

Lmfao 😂 Jake Lang is experiencing the finding out phase in Minneapolis.

Eric Swalwell answering a question on how the next governor of California will protect Californians from ICE. “They're going to lose their immunity. They're not going to be able to drive. I will take your driver's license. Good luck walking to work, assholes.”

the wildest thing is right-wingers acting like minnesotans in videos must be outside agitators when we can all hear their accents. i don't think i could do that accent convincingly if i spent a year practicing. and neither would i wish to. have you heard that shit? craziest american accent

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

This is the dynamic across most of America: Liberal cities generate revenue, which state governments then transfer to benefit conservative rural areas, whose residents despite city-dwellers and consistently vote to harm them. But politicians endlessly pander to rural voters and demonize cities.

Another thing you should know about the Twin Cities, if you're not here, is that while the mayor and governor tell us to stay calm on TV, our council members and other local electeds are on the street patrolling and protecting neighbors, doing mutual aid, and otherwise serving the community.

Which types of welfare fraud are politely litigated between white collar lawyers, and which types of welfare fraud are used to justify an immigration purge and shutting off resources to the poor?

They aren't specialists in violence they're just dicks the government gave badges to, don't mythologize being a thug because you're scared of loud noises

That is what was relayed

@statuscoupnews.bsky.social interviewing this woman in Minneapolis right now who said she came out of her home, wearing whatever she could grab to protect herself from ICE agents. You do what you can, with what you got.

WHY are news stations reading DHS statements out loud as if they have ANY credibility at all? They literally murdered a woman in cold blood LAST WEEK and are still lying about what happened, even though we can see what happened. That any credibility would be given to their statement is insane

For people outside Minneapolis: North is the historically Black part of the city. It's been heavily disinvested from, gutted by the 2008 mortgage crisis, and got hit by a tornado which did damage you can still see from aerial photos. It's no mistake ICE is going after more vulnerable populations.

This is what the average Minnesotan sounds like these days

First page of the ICE list has trickled in

I saw this video of a Vietnam vet in the fur coat yelling at ICE and thought to myself, "this is missing something," before I realized, "Ah, of course, the Ether instrumental. It's so obvious."

i am absolutely empathetic to a man whose lost his daughter. however, there is at least one other person who is an obvious participant in this child's life. and as a lesbian it is difficult not to consider the underscoring that is suggested here

for all of the praise of law enforcement we've seen since Saturday, it's now clear cops had at least two opportunities to prevent Vance Boelter from murdering Melissa Hortman and her husband but failed to do so.

This is so fucking pathetic and embarrassing 😂 the squeaky is just 🤌🏼🤌🏼

as per the MN crime account, there have been shootings at a state senator‘s house in champlin and a state rep’s in brooklyn park. suspect is apparently impersonating law enforcement and still on the loose, info on him - x.com/mn_crime/sta...

Everyone in charge has said it was not an immigration operation but a criminal warrant. I’m sorry, unless they just stopped 9/11 2.0 this was an insanely disproportionate response

@taylr.bsky.social I moved out of Minneapolis in October but I went to law school with Mariam Demello… not sure what’s going on with her campaign, but she shared a post on Facebook that someone had made in the Uptown Crime page with an article about Brian Ingram. I commented and then she deleted 😂🙃

NEW: Minnesota was just ranked a top state both to retire and to raise a family.   By investing in the things that matter – economic opportunity, health and safety, and strong communities – we’re building the best state for all Minnesotans from childhood through retirement.

No fucking way. Welp, same old same old for the DNC. Expect more catering to centrists and “moderates”

"The free speech crisis hiding in plain sight isn’t about whether individuals can ever criticize powerful figures — it’s about whether institutions can withstand the pressure to self-censor in the face of legal and political intimidation..." www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

How does this lower grocery prices

NYPD perfectly illustrates in a single day that they only exist to protect the oligarchy.

Really hard to understand why Luigi Mangione inspired so much support!

Absolutely insane. Daniel Penny choked Jordan Neely until he fucking DIED and he knew damn well that was a possibility. He didn’t care about Jordan’s life. He didn’t care if he died. Jordan Neely was just another worthless homeless person to Daniel Penny.

It gives me immense joy how bad the Dallas Cowboys are

LGBTQ voters went 86% for Harris. Attacking them, and especially trans people as the reason for losing the election is electoral suicide. They make up 7% of voters. Without them, every single democratic senator that won would've lost.

Says a lot about this culture that "hold hands and sing kumbaya" has become an idiom to call someone naïve or idealistic, when the song itself is a literal cry for divine intervention in the face of the increasing certainty that nothing else will bring about the change the singer desperately needs.

the problem with saying we need a “Joe Rogan for the left” is that Rogan was not a creation of conservatives. he was a regular guy who became conservative because he’s very stupid.

i hope my date doesn't think i'm weird this monocle should do the trick
