Reminder there are still 2000 active goons destroying our city and kidnapping civilians to such an extreme extent that kids cant even go to school normally

The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota." Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota." This presser worked like a charm.

Minimizing the window where I read about how our world is a joke and we're at the mercy of megalomaniacal evil perverts. Logging on to the work zoom. "Heyyyy I'm good! How are you?"

Please stop saying the bill allows "no more multi-year funding" - or at least be clear the 'more' is in reference to disastrous FY25 levels. The bill allows 39% MYF, same as in FY25, which contributed substantially to a 24% drop in new research. The bill has some wins. MYF is not one of them.

Man, it’s wild that normal people just go to work every day while the people who run everything meticulously document their sex crimes

"It's believed to be the first time a local police department in Minnesota intervened in a federal law enforcement action since the surge in immigration enforcement began two months ago." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I’m a NO — not one more penny for ICE without stopping this violence. Two American citizens were killed by federal agents. No more roving patrols. No more secret masked police. No more warrantless raids. Investigate and prosecute ICE crimes. Get ICE out of Minnesota.

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

Second R01 for the lab submitted despite it all. Levi is taking all the credit for it (co-I of course). Anyway continue calling your senators and reps. ICE has not left and we are still under a paramilitary occupation. My students are not safe and shouldn’t have to feel this way.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

These are the Haitians attacked by Vance in 2024 at the urging of Canadian neo-Nazi Geoff Martin, aka "Captive Dreamer," who he appears to follow closely. They're currently here legally. The admin is abruptly making them illegal, then removing them in a 1940s-style militarized cleansing campaign.

For reference, Minneapolis's "Metro Surge" was 25x larger than Chicago's Midway Blitz - ten times as many agents in a city almost a third the size. The Springfield metro is only 136,000 people. A 1000-agent surge will be the equivalent of TWO HUNDRED MIDWAY BLITZES at once. Utter insanity.

In response to announcement that he will be a new CBS contributor, Andrew Huberman tweeted “I’ve always gone issue-by-issue on health & science, spoken to experts w/a range of takes & presented where I see the center of (data) mass pointed. I’ll do the same with @CBSNews”. In Sept he posted this:

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all. Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

People outside of Minnesota, in case you are wondering how to help the current situation, this website has many current opportunities to donate and support people who need help in Minnesota. Help pay rent, get groceries, and provide other support for people in hiding. www.standwithminnesota.com

We cannot do science while our people are being shot down in the streets. We cannot fund DHS/ICE. Call your representatives.

We have to face another week somehow

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

there is no accountability

they fucking executed a man

Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation say federal agents shot a man multiple times in south Minneapolis this morning. A video taken from inside Glam Doll Donuts shows agents wrestling a man to the ground then shooting him multiple times. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

theres 3000 freely authorized government murder goons wandering around and we're being told thats normal

it's only getting worse and no one fucking is doing a fucking thing that can stop this

"In St. Paul, at least one-fourth of students from Spanish-speaking homes have missed every day of school since Dec. 12."

Thousands of Minnesotans marched in downtown Minneapolis to protest ICE. The wind chill was 30 below during the march. Hundreds of businesses closed their doors Friday in support of the protest as activists urged Minnesotans to abstain from economic activity.

When I first saw Applebee's advertisement for the O-M-Cheeseburger, I was terrified. I trembled. I cowered. Then I opened my heart to it. Here is what it revealed to me. johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/god-cheese...

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

Happy to share the latest from our lab published @cp-cellreports.bsky.social, where we delineated the synaptic maturation trajectory for vCA1 and iCA1 projections to mPFC, and pathway-specific effects of vCA1- and iCA1-mPFC juvenile inhibition on cognitive flexibility www.cell.com/cell-reports...

Immediate punishment for speaking out against the regime.

How it feels

Last night there were 20 volunteers outside a nearby Spanish immersion preK program and then additional community members on the blocks and major intersections nearby. Remarkable and heartbreaking

People who aren't in Minnesota might not know that if you drive or walk past pretty much any school, there's going to be a group of people, parents and childless, standing guard to make sure the kids are safe from feds. It's pretty remarkable. And very disturbing. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

boarding for ACNP, better late than never. see yall soon

Outstanding #acnp2026 day 2 start with @nicolagrissom.bsky.social reminding us of the principle that sex differences in neural mechanisms may drive behavior similarity. Leaning into the ambiguity of hidden markov models and showing that females exploit more; males explore more in a set shift task

Before opening your door to ICE, know your rights, as recommended by the Immigrant Law Center. Remember to assert them calmly and safely. Info also available in: Soomaali, Español, Hmoob, Afaan Oromoo ➡️ https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/MPLS/bulletins/403db4d

The anti-ICE protest and march now numbering in the thousands has turned from Lake Street onto Portland Avenue, heading toward the site of Renee Good's fatal shooting.
