ICE reportedly opened fire on rapid responders on the southwest side this afternoon. There are *very few* details on this available at this time. Treat all rumors with caution until verified. This Sun-Times article cites a DHS statement that should be treated, as always, with extreme skepticism:

Kudos to the goth nephew of Miller’s bagman who quietly took photos of his nazi uncle riding shotgun texting war plans

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

Twin Cities folks. I'm reaching out in a couple other ways, but Drinking Liberally Minneapolis is looking to invite someone to a meeting to talk about mutual aid and how a group of mostly though not exclusively older white dudes can be of the most assistance. Mostly older liberal types who can

You can see how their cameramen document their violence. This is about content creation. For the last one, I had to search my files for a photo of this moment that didn't include the face of a pained or screaming protester, but for clarity: those are tackled human beings on the ground.

I left out a lot. But two weeks ago, as some were debating the National Guard, we warned things were going to get much worse, even without the guard. I hope I’m wrong, and I’m sorry to say, it can, and probably will get worse still.

In the past 4 weeks in Chicago, ICE/CBP have snatched hundreds of people off the streets & homes, shot & killed a single-father in his car, smashed & abandoned countless cars, and deployed chemical munitions at protesters, journalists, & now on public streets. Today they cuffed an alderperson.

Mariah Samuels was a Black woman who was shot and killed in front of her home September 14 by a man she repeatedly identified as dangerous. Before being killed, Mariah experienced domestic violence and went to MPD for help.

Protect trans kids.

Hey friends. 🧊 activity is ticking up in the Cities. We have over 2,200 ppl on our network. We had 3 ppl respond to the kidnapping in St Paul yesterday. We need more! Next Mpls training is later this month.

Honestly the perfect coda to the cancel culture panic is one of its biggest promoters being actually so thoroughly uncanceled/unsilenced that she assumes the helm of a major news network

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

They're terrorizing people to create fascist propaganda content to circulate on social media.

This explains a lot. For a moment, I wondered why they'd do something as ridiculous as drop agents on the roof of the apartment building from helicopters, but of course, they did it for this footage. The same reason they were marching in formation downtown and snatched a family in Millennium Park.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

BONESHAKER BOOKS IS MOVING to Lyndale! It's Day TWO of our fundraiser and we're more than 50% of the way to our goal! By the way, any money we raise over our goal will go directly into improvements to the store! www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...

Psst, ask the booksellers for the signs, they're behind the desk.

The Amazon van parked in a lane of traffic NEXT TO a parking spot is sending me 💀

Omar Fateh is my state senator and has passed so many policies that directly benefit my kids and their friends. And DeWayne Davis is a trustworthy and kind pastor. Both setting examples of gentle and kind masculinity in a world full of toxic masculinity.

This is so fun and wholesome. 👻

@moonpalacebooks.bsky.social's author/book talks are so special. Looking forward to this!!

When I took a produce safety training for farmers (FSMA), they put the fear of god in us about listeria. And for good reason! It operates like a horror movie villain, from a drain to your very own Exorcist moment. 🤮

I remind you that this man has been accused of domestic violence by the women in his life.

I have been haunted by this statement all day www.kgw.com/article/news...

If your Klein be Naomi, then listen, homie; But if your Klein be Ezra, disregard what he sezra

ward 9 update from jason chavez- "City Auditor report finds nearly $200k overpayment by the Jacob Frey Administration" payments were to Helix Health & Housing Services at "urgent request" of frey, chavez says payments reveal lack of oversight and "environment ripe for fraud" @mplsward9.bsky.social

right, and people don’t care about davis moturi anymore. there is no anger. mariah samuels case would cause anger. it if breaks

We’re just 6 days away from our last big fundraiser before the election! If you’re not already excited by our news that @omarfatehmn.com, @dewayneforminneapolis.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social hold a 10-point lead over Frey, we’ll have Ranked Choice Voting Mayoral yard signs on Sunday!

Frey gaslighting about needing civility as if he’s not at least half the problem at City Hall. Breathtaking.

So is Wall a hero for offering affordable housing and only making "a little money" or is he a business? Man cannot stop digging himself a hole.

wall says ward 2 updates have a lot of info about renters rights. making sure landlords don’t make money. calls it “a slap in the face” for spending his career building housing. says not just him but the industry as a whole is being attacked

suitor asking about john wall’s role on credentials committee at ward 2 where robin wonsley supporting delegates were ejected this means that wall, who has just admitted his primary residence is in wayzata, is telling us how he meddled in our minneapolis elections

suitor questions wall, asking where he lives. says he has a couple residents but his primary residence is in wayzata HE JUST CAUCUSED IN WARD 2

This is beyond atrocious. We have no room for this hate in Minneapolis. PACs who have been stirring up this sort of distrust and division by calling Sen. Fateh corrupt and worse need to understand who their rhetoric feeds.

ICE shooter Joshua Jahn's politics aren't what's being reported, three longtime former friends tell me. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/the-ice-sh...

as my friend said to me today, from everything we've seen from and heard about mayor jacob frey, he and his cronies are petty and he doesn't have a leg to stand on for why he deserves another term as mayor. we deserve better. vote for dewayne davis, jazz hampton, and omar fateh.

if you believe we need to get insane amounts of money out of politics, look no further than all of minneapolis. our mayor can't campaign on the merits of his policy record so instead he let's all of minneapolis run smear campaigns on his behalf rooted in falsehoods & half-truths.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

This Rapture could’ve been an email

when will the star tribune cover brian strahan’s residency issue instead of the most low hanging and obvious fruit?

As People Mag Points out, a treatment for autism Dr. Oz just announced Trump’s FDA is approving is sold by a supplement company owned by… Dr. Oz. people.com/what-is-leuc...

The Becka Thompson residency dispute, and the other ones like it, show that the centrists and their donor class hold Minneapolis in total contempt. Rules are for suckers, community means nothing, you don't deserve better, shut up and vote how we tell you or the communists will let you get crimed.

The story of this election is downtown business owners and suburban landlords trying to meddle in a majority renter city in order to be allowed to exploit us for more money. Fuck that.

As a Minneapolis renter in my 30s, I'm finding these city council/park board candidates who own multiple houses in the city so that they can move IN to where they're running so bizarrely unrelatable. I'm not interested in your platform on housing (or anything else).

Had another meeting with DFL leadership tonight and I do have a bit more hope. We discussed broader cultural problems within the party, how we need to work to avoid a schism, and how moderate Dems need to be willing to come to the table instead of just writing off progressives.

i love being in the room when people hear the brilliance of @rlmartstudio.bsky.social for the first time “the only upside of fascism is that it makes people remember that all of our struggles are interconnected.” #ClimateWeekNYC

More voices in our community are echoing the same call: it is time for change. And Jacob Frey won't bring it. As the article points out, there's no “vision” section on Frey's website. A vote for Frey is a vote for keeping Minneapolis stagnant, and for more hostility in City Hall.

Even the Star Tribune gets it. “He pours blame on the council in a broad-brush way that impedes his ability to build alliances with the more moderate progressives.” It’s time to move on. Our city deserves a Mayor who is willing to grow relationships and work with the City Council.
