"Shut it all down until it’s safe for every Minnesotan to drive to a sports venue without being rammed, beaten, abducted or killed." Damn, Jim Souhan. Gift link: www.startribune.com/jim-souhan-m...

Minneapolis in 2026

It's packed at Glam Doll. They're open until 2. Go support them if you're nearby.

It's so quiet at the scene.

Cable news is generally trash, but Dana did an excellent job exposing this asshole's lies.

Anderson, it's ok to put on a hat.

i havent shut off the notification for this form and it has just been vibrating every minute in my hand. just a steady beat.

We are miles past "consent of the governed" here in Minnesota. Are we a co-equal state in the Union or not? Are Minneapolitans equal citizens under the Constitution or not?

13 years ago I was in a bad bike accident on my way home from work, at 26th and Nicollet. When I was lying in the middle of the intersection after the crash, people eating at the restaurant on the right came running to help me, including a doctor. (1/2)

This, but for the entire city and state.

I am watching what is happening in Minneapolis on Ali Velshi and one of the ICE officers (off camera) literally says, “It’s like Call of Duty. Pretty cool huh?” as they shoot whatever it is they are shooting. Agents walking around, guns unholstered for no reason. This is insanity

To repeat: Abolish ICE.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening. The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Glam Doll Donuts was closed yesterday in solidarity. Then this happens in front of their store the next morning.

How it How it’s started going

Why was there no local news helicopter video of the protest today? The only one I could see from the ground was our favorite, the State Patrol helicopter.

A general strike, in this part of the country at this time of year localized entirely in your metropolitan area? Yes.

It’s amazing the full force of the federal gov’t law enforcement apparatus is being deployed to Minnesota because the cruel dipshits in charge refuse to believe that white folks are willingly putting their lives on the line to protect their neighbors. They think there must be a nefarious reason.

They're going after kids. Outside my own kids' doctor's office. Kids.

Setting the heat in my car to recirculate because there have been multiple deployments of the green gas along my route home from work.

As expected, it's like the court order doesn't exist (the court order that was just reiterating the law). Are there any elected officials talking about this? The governor said we should hit record on our phones, but someone has to alert the phone-havers to the presence of 🧊 in the first place.

I can't believe I'd never been to Can Can Wonderland before! This place is great, and the perfect antidote to the bullshit. The fascists don't know how to have fun like this.

Tim Miller interviewed Chris Ostroushko, the guy from the other night who channeled all of our feelings. Get this guy on Rogan and we win. www.youtube.com/watch?v=d83v...

Guys we’re not gonna destroy our own city or each other for these Nazi shitloafs, stop fantasizing about doing that it’s weird.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

"Fast Company reached out multiple times this week to General Mills, Target, Best Buy, Cargill, UnitedHealth Group, 3M, and Land O’Lakes for comment. None of them responded." www.fastcompany.com/91476021/min...

For some reason I get the New York Times delivered every day to my house, on actual paper. I have not received the paper this week. I'm assuming the person who delivers the paper is either afraid to leave their house or has been abducted. Either way, not great.

Earlier today, an NPR program began with "We're following the news today out of Minneapolis, Greenland, Iran, and Venezuela." [All places the administration has invaded or plans to invade]

The Kite Festival is on Lake Harriet next Saturday (1/24/26) and I think if you want to make a stand of joyful defiance, you can't beat flying a kite on a frozen lake during a military occupation.

There is so much tear gas in the air it can be felt driving on the other side of highway 94 in Minneapolis - in your car.

Live shots on CNN clearly showing Federal agents remain on the scene.

Tim Miller has a roundup of just a few of the recent disturbing videos of the federal invasion of our community. At the end, he predicts it will get worse before it gets better. He is probably correct. youtu.be/RXcWzbCYZMw?...

"...raises the specter that forms of political protest traditionally protected by the First Amendment could be criminalized." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/u...

Thank you whistle blowers, you are saving the lives of our neighbors.

This is Minneapolis: You're standing outside school drop off for your kids' elementary, debriefing safety concerns. Someone is crying after a scary encounter with fed agents this morning. A total stranger walks by and says "I heard you all were working to support our neighbors, here's $100."

from our former mayor RT Rybak who is very much NOT known for being radical or using hyperbole:

No unrest, but Walgreens on South Lyndale not taking any chances. I wish they wouldn't do this.

After a long day of wall-to-wall online meetings, I walked to the co-op to get a few things for dinner. On the way back I ran into a fellow neighborhood elementary school dad. We talked about the latest horror in our community, and how we aren't going to let them win. (1/2)

I am very fortunate to live in the Twin Cities where a wide variety of cultures, including the large Somali community, make this such a fascinating and beautiful place to be.

Minneapolis, concrete jungle.

New Barenaked Ladies song just dropped.

Why local developers aren't building apartments anymore. A case study. Flux Apartments in Uptown (pictured here). 216 units 2019: Sold for $54M Tuesday: Sold for $36.1M That's $167,000 per unit. If you wanted to build Flux today it would likely cost in the ballpark of $71M or $330K per unit.

@ashafferwx.bsky.social How common are 70-degree dew points in mid-September? Seems like the corn is sweating longer than it should.
