completely out of control, leave DHS entirely defunded until this agency is dismantled

This photo made me understand class in America in a way that I was unable to process before seeing it. The rich enjoy class solidarity on a level that is unimaginable to most people.

Here are the details & video source as first confirmed by a local news outlet: kutv.com/news/local/v... (I beg blue staters to peruse the comment section to get a feel for how much support exists in red states for the immigration enforcement tactics seen in MSP.)

Colonial Market in North Minneapolis just spun up a GFM for grocery and delivery support. Can vouch for this one! Also can say that their food is great, please support them :) www.gofundme.com/f/support-co...

I want people to stare long and hard at this photo. All three, guns drawn, less than a week after feds killed Alex Pretti in the street and less than a month after they shot Renee Good in her car. They are not de-escalating or drawing down.

A Corrido is typically known as border music “musica de la frontera”. Typically a corrido has lyrics that narrate a tragedy, a heroic event, or issue impacting the Mexican Community. at the U.S.-Mexico border. Alex Pretti will now be remembered with his own corrido.

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

The videos starting to come out from rural Minnesota of observers being illegally detained by ice and others are absolutely harrowing. We need solidarity with the smaller cities outside of the metro because these people are putting themselves on the line without the level of support the city has.

This is happening a lot to female journalists. So here is a modest proposal for the White House press corps: Stand together. No one should ask another question until the President answers the question that was ignored.

I am not gleefully predicting this, just speaking from some experience, and trying to steel folks for the right timespan on fighting this: within 2-4 years, there will be Very Serious People demanding you give up asking for accountability on this stuff, and in fact *you* are the problem for doing so

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky

Another lesson from Minnesota (and for me to remember): doubt the students at your own peril! Sometimes people just need a little more notice and about 10 more degrees to get outside.

To understand how crazy, and dangerous, this move is, just realize that Trump is now declaring that FAA airplane safety certifications will henceforth be made by politicians who know absolutely nothing about aircraft safety. If you thought a door falling off was bad, just wait for what's next.

look at this fucking creep. there are children in this home.

Q: Do you have comment on the career prosecutors that are resigning in Minneapolis? BLANCHE: *walks away*

This morning, federal agents arrested my friend Jamael Lundy for exercising his first amendment rights along with members of the media. He was violently awakened by federal agents, and I’m disappointed to see the Trump administration weaponize the justice system. 1/

Overnight in the lobby of (a very profitable) Resort America a man painstakingly lays floor tiles. By morning he’s missing, his car on the side of the road, glass smashed, doors open. Like leftovers at the continental breakfast bar he’s used and discarded. His family calls but he doesn’t answer.

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

they want a weekend of Journalism Conversations instead of “ICE is kidnapping people” stories

schools and kids are in danger. please avoid all “regular news cycle” type substances if you can avoid them

AP's use of "Former CNN Journalist" is bullshit framing.

Since Cities Church are in the news again, reupping on this. They are anti-christian, pathetic, and hateful. substack.com/@wesburdine/...

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

LAPD Chief announces they will not be enforcing the mask ban on ICE goons (1/29/26)

While the Chicago Tribune Editorial Board interviewed candidates behind closed doors, I was knocking doors. The Tribune Editorial Board’s endorsement won’t decide this race. Voters will.

Will @amyklobuchar.com stop asking for money. How’d you get my number you psycho?

The coolest Congresswoman there’s ever been.

Here is a video taken just this morning of ICE pepper spraying my friend who was standing several feet away, and behind a fence, from agents attempting an abduction. Nothing about their conduct has changed. We need to continue our observations but please do so as safely as possible. Fuck ICE.

INBOX: It appears ~300 Catholic leaders — including a number of bishops, although interestingly this is *not* a letter from the USCCB — have signed a letter urging senators not approve ICE/DHS funding in the appropriations bill. Below are *some* (but not all) of the signers.

This is the CDC map for homicide rates by state for the most recent year on their website. Gov. Landry, who leads one of the states in the nation with the highest murder rate, is on television chiding Minnesota, one of the states with the lowest murder rates.

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Sinead would like a word

If you aren't familiar with what DARVO is, get familiar with it. "Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender." The govt is relying on DARVO as a tactic on a national scale, and it is also increasingly a conservative tactic to attack outspoken critics of their ideas, theories, & renderings of history.

Seems like a good video for his trial

Why is heather cox richardson posting alt-agency accounts, nooooo

"If we have to hunt you down, the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice. And we will do so under the Constitution and laws of the United States." www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ft1...

Classic DARVO move out right of the abuser playbook: deny, attack, reverse role of victim and offender.

at alex pretti’s memorial in minneapolis: note from 5 men who had received care from a VA, note from someone who became a registered nurse on 1/28 saying he was a shining example of their code of ethics, “i don’t know why they shot him, he was only helping” “mr rogers they’re killing us helpers now”

I’m not sure how much notice this has received but the Assembly of First Nations in Canada has issued a travel advisory for the United States after reports that Indigenous people are being increasingly questioned and detained by ICE. www.instagram.com/p/DT-_SacDEH...

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Omg! Local San Antonio news is at a protest in Dilley, Texas at the Family Prison where Liam Ramos is being held. Y'all I'm crying so hard. These young people are so brave. I'm guessing most are from San Antonio. Absolutely clear video proof that the cops were the only violent actors here.

Hell yeah

Artist De Strandharker, a Dutch creator known for large-scale beach rake drawings, give remarkable tribute to the victims of Trump's ICE (Renée Good and Alex Pretti) 🫶

Northfield is a town of 20,000 people in southeast #Minnesota, outside of the metro region. That 20,000 people includes two college populations. Agents in plain clothes raided a local bakery this morning, and masked agents continue to raid local apartment complexes. That's where we're at.
