This is the real deal! I'm honored to be in a place where I can help, too...

🚨 An emergency bike ride has been declared for tonight, Sunday, February 15. We depart Mueller Park at 7:30 pm.

Absolutely beautiful Steve Sack

This rules. I love how delighted they all look!

Just a big hug to all the anarchists in the Twin Cities who get dismissed all the time but knew exactly what to do when shit went down here.

God Bless America indeed. Gracias Benito y a todos los que hicieron posible esa actuación. ¡Asicalao!

Dear ICE/DHS/CBP you have no idea what level of compassion and love for our neighbors you have opened up in Minnesota! 3,000+ cyclists in 20° weather biked seven miles for a man we loved, a city we love, and ALL of our neighbors that we love. Whose Streets? Our Streets!

The Alex Pretti Memorial Ride in Minneapolis today was massive and so powerful to be a part of. I've seen estimates of 3-5 thousand riders, taking up to an hour for the ride to pass through an intersection.

Today I rode a bicycle With 2-3 thousand Minnesotans To rember Alex Pretti To show neighbors we care To show the nation we will defy tyrrany and violence To end The Occupation.

Here is the crowd riding by for about 30 minutes before I joined in

HAPPENING NOW: Aerial view of a LARGE group of cyclists who have gathered in Minneapolis for an Alex Pretti memorial bike ride 📍Minneapolis, Minnesota

I love you, Minneapolis.

It has been an especially cold winter in Minneapolis. But we’ve kept each other balanced on slippery ground, stayed vigilant through frozen eyes, and shouted our demands into silver clouds of steam, rising up into the long dark night. I hope warmth will return to us soon.

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

I love you, Minneapolis. Rest in power, Alex.

I love you, Minneapolis. Good night to all our neighbors and friends around the globe.

Please ask your congresspeople why they are abdicating their oversight duties & continuing to fund these wasteful and immoral activities.

Thank you Jason. I live in NE Minneapolis and have dear friends and relatives in SW and SE Minneapolis. What is happening here is an incongruous mix of heartbreaking force punching down upon those with less power met by inspiring collective and individual acts of bravery at scale. ICE out of MN!

More ways to help: Stand With Minnesota. How you can tell this is a local MN thing: “We are now just two ladies running this thing as volunteers, so please be patient.” [standwithminnesota.com]

You can help: a listing of mutual aid organizations to support in Minnesota. [linktr.ee]

Could someone kindly send me the list of vetted resources. I failed to bookmark it and people outside the cities have asked me where they can send knit goods, thank you cards, what local organizations are doing direct aid and might appreciate some financial assistance?

I pray justice is swift and comprehensive for those terrorizing my neighbors in violation of the constitution and laws of the land. We should not blink in the face of intolerance and fascism.

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

It was a lovely day to escape for a while to Theodore Wirth Park and then grab some food afterwards in North Minneapols. Bring on the cold and clear skies - winter is about to return.

Please ask your congresspeople why they are abdicating their oversight duties & continuing to fund these wasteful and immoral activities.

They're investigating the victim's wife, the victim's friends, the mayor and the governor too, but no, they're not even going to glance in the direction of the murderer.

I love North Minneapolis. Solidarity from right across the river in NE.

Rest in peace.

THIS. This is four minutes of something that helped. Definitely worth a listen. Especially if you think you don't have time for it.

I led a letter with 159 Members of Congress to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem demanding accountability for ICE's indefensible actions resulting in the killing of a woman in South Minneapolis. Minnesotans deserve answers. That must include an unbiased, thorough investigation.

Anyone have odds on how long this stays up? www.fbi.gov/about/faqs/i...

No notes. Thank you, Sheriff.

The thing is: Ross put himself near the front of the vehicle. The video shows that the vehicle had been in the same position before he moved towards the front. Evidently he is *not* sensitive about being near the path of a vehicle *at all*.

This is one of my favourite Japanese prints, I love the atmosphere and sense of tranquillity. I was lucky enough to be able to visit Chionin Temple when I was last in Japan and I've included some photos in the reply below. 🎨'Chionin Temple' - Kawase Hasui, 1933. #JapaneseArt #shinhanga 1/2

I invite all Americans to join Minnesota in a day of unity tomorrow.

In the aftermath of yesterday's tragedy: DHS lied. Trump lied. Noem lied. Frey told the truth. Walz told the truth. Ellison told the truth. The people in this community are the true silver lining amidst so much intentional pain and suffering being heaped upon our neighbors.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

ICE is responsible for the *only* shooting and homicide in Minneapolis so far in 2026.

Let's say her name out loud.

This is a @jchavezmpls.bsky.social appreciation post. We should all be so lucky to have elected representatives that care as much and work as hard for their communities as he does

This is fucking nuts. North Korea would be embarrassed by this propaganda H/T @atrupar.com

“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”

The last sunset of 2025 did not disappoint. Happy New Year from NE MPLS.
