Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

a packet of pro-labor sample resolutions submitted by the Minnesota AFL-CIO and affiliated unions that you can introduce at your caucus.

Nobody takes a job at the Historical Society expecting to have to explain that no, they are not associated with the fascist goons wandering the state www.mnhs.org/media/news/m...

Just an @erinmayequade.bsky.social Appreciation post. www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_5_...

The Hortmans were assassinated seven months ago. The Annunciation Church school shooting was five months ago. Renee Good was murdered three weeks ago to the day. It has been eight days since they took 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father. It has been four days since Alex Pretti was murdered.

Xfinity selling our shit to ice, aren't they?

Fiscal conservatives: I found a great shared win for us.

Y'all. You can't just "call" a general strike. You have to ORGANIZE one. That's why the MN strike worked.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

Me. Just collecting paper bags for grocery delivery to neighbors.

If you're able to, please get out and vote for @megl.bsky.social in tomorrow's 64A special election. She is fantastic, earned the @dfl.org endorsement in a very competitive field, and I can't wait to see her fighting for us at the Capitol! Meg's website: www.megfor64a.com

I think Minnesota has an uphill climb in this lawsuit, but if they have a leg to stand on, it's because of the ransom note from Pam Bondi. "You must bend to the will of the federal government" feels like it *might* fit the anti-commandeering aspect of 10A.

Stop adding unvetted people to your chats.

I’ve been recommending this link a lot: naomikritzer.com/2026/01/21/h...

There are a lot of people asking if they should fly to Mn to "help". JFC NO. Have you taken constitutional observer training? Have you set up rapid response/mutual aid networks in your own neighborhood? Do you know your neighbors' names? Do you know who will need food/supplies?

Kelly Morrison is an upgrade for MN-03 in every possible way.

If you see someone being taken, get their name. GET THEIR NAME. Call out, "what's your name?" or "como te llama?" and record or write it (or both, ideally both) and then call Monarca at 612-441-2881 with the person's name.

Sayre: "My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorizing people."

You do not have to watch the video. You can just believe and protect your nervous system. It's bad.

Here's a time-lapse from yesterday as thousands of people marched through downtown Minneapolis to protest ICE. 📷️: Sydney Lewis/The Minnesota Star Tribune

-25 windchill. IceOut MN

ICE says it arrested 10,000 "criminal illegal aliens" in MN but it has only released 240 names of immigrants arrested as of Jan. 19. Of those 240, 80% have felony convictions. Nearly all had served their time and were not actively wanted when they were detained, according to a Star Tribune analysis.

A number of people from out-of-state have been opening tabs at small businesses—coffee shops where people on patrol can grab a drink and warm up, bars where people can be in community, etc. It’s been a deeply appreciated form of solidarity and helps the businesses closing tomorrow.

Watching the entire state shut down in strike

Superintendent for Columbia Heights public schools: "I have seen it with my own eyes." Federal agents are at bus stops, circling schools, up and down the street. The same people, in tactical gear. www.youtube.com/live/vvInVc_...

Updated list of Bizes supporting the people. I will be hitting up as many of these as possible today. PUT GAS IN YOUR CAR TODAY. Get your groceries or whatever else you need today. Grab a coffee from one of these shops. Have a meal out tonight.

The Mueum will be closed Friday, January 23rd in support of our community. We look forward to welcoming you back on Saturday the 24th. Please stay warm and look out for your neighbors!

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

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

They are targeting children because they are trying incite violence. I have talked to many journalists today, and they all made the same observation: Border Patrol and ICE have been rolling around with maximum aggression, lingering for ages as crowds, gather, seemingly trying to cause a riot.

I mean. I was just going to get some Oatly for my coffee. I wasn't "Protesting" anything. They came to MY neighborhood and terrorized MY Neighbors. So yea, I'm gonna watch and document. As is my legal right.

Bondi is already here. Vance is coming tomorrow. The next few days they are going to do as much damage and fear-mongering as possible. For show. They are terrorizing us for show. They will kidnap people, knowing they will let them go. For the show of it. (and to bump up their pretend numbers)

A list of businesses that I will be exclusively shopping/dining at in 2026. (Thank goodness my 3 fav coffee shops are here!)

Last night Maya announced they would be closed until further notice because they couldn’t guarantee the safety of their customers and staff due to ICE’s occupation of our City. ICE is actively making our neighborhoods less safe and hurting anchor businesses in our community like Maya.

Just an important reminder that does not necessarily have anything to do with anything particular happening in Minnesota this week.

If someone ran for Governor of MN on an ‘abolish helicopter flight over the Twin Cities’ and ‘I will show my face on the streets when the federal government attacks our state’ I think they could garner enough support from the urban core to take this thing home.

Thanksgiving should be fun

I’ve seen a lot in my 26 years teaching in Saint Paul but today’s the first no school day due to the city being terrorized by the federal government

I feel like my local Bluesky followers have mostly seen these resources already, but if you have less-connected friends who are trying to figure out how to pitch in on our current community project, feel free to use this link: naomikritzer.com/2026/01/19/h...

Friday afternoon, ABC News ran an interview with one of Mischief Toy Store's owners about the store's practice of giving away free whistles. Hours later, ICE agents showed up at their door. Here's my story (gift link):

I thought I had exhausted my mutual aid for this week...but Larry is an amazing human who shows up everywhere. Who wants to join me in pitching in?

There’s a community food giveaway on January 20, 2026 from 3:30PM- 5:30PM. This will be at Folwell Elementary located at 3611 21st Ave South. You can even pick up food for families in need during these times. 1/
