I second that.

Hey everyone, I hope you have a great Sunday with some feel-good music from the Stray Cats. Rock This Town from the Stray Cats' self-titled debut album, released 45 years ago today.

The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny! I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti

Best brunch ever.

Neighborhood House food pantry west side of St. Paul is promoting giving El Burrito Mercado gift cards to Neighborhood House who will them buy El Burrito groceries for immigrants in need. Feeds people and supports the business. neighborhoodhousemn.org/immigrant-su...

I am the driver at the wheel of the horror

Soup and assistance.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

shame at Turf Club (January 27, 2026)

Wow. The front page of tomorrow’s Charlie Hebdo magazine in France.

The party behind Kyle Rittenhouse and J6 think Alex Pretti's legal gun was the problem? Seriously?!?

Hey US friends - in addition to calling your senators to tell them to abolish ICE, it’s also a great day to tell them to vote NO on HJ Resolution 140 that would strip environmental protections from public lands surrounding Minnesota’s Boundary Waters. Senate switchboard: 202-224-3121

When I got home to Evanston, I talked to Michael and we decided to send support to Isuroon, a Minnesota food assistance program focused on the Somali community. Please consider sending support to the Twin Cities community during this infuriating and lawless time.

“We are starting to build a huge ICE OUT sign on Lake Nokomis [in Mpls.] 100 foot letters for MSP flights to see. By day snow letters, by night we’ll light w/ candles in white paper bags Send this widely. Tonight will get it outlined. Tomorrow night we’ll light it up and keep it going all week.“

Twin/Tone’s Paul Stark weighing in with words of sorrow and encouragement.

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

From Angry Catfish, independent bicycle shop in Minneapolis

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Love our neighbors here in StP.

Live somewhere else and want to lecture people on the ground right now? As an alternative, may I suggest fucking off into the sun

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Please take a moment to contact your U.S. Senators and urge them to oppose H.J. Res. 140. A short call, email, or message saying you care about clean water, wilderness, and public lands really does matter. If people stay quiet, this will pass quietly. If enough of us speak up, it doesn’t have to.

Ex-MLS coach Adrian Heath thought the offer of a coaching job in Saudi Arabia could be a logical next career step. Instead, it led to the former Everton player being kidnapped in Morocco, held at knifepoint, and left fearing for his life. @paultenorio.bsky.social

Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Folks. It’s that simple.

Bitter melodies turning your orbit around

"There is nobody more American than American Indians! We are America, how can you possibly target Native Americans? It's legally impossible!" -Chase Iron Eyes tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social about four Oglala Sioux Tribal members being taken by ICE... Three are now missing . LIVE NOW ⬇️

This dude is intense and correct

Want to help folks being terrorized by ICE in Minnesota? Well look at this google doc someone made. Lots of GoFundMe's that haven't met their goals yet. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
