former ward 7 council member katie cashman sent an email amplifying ways to get trained to observe ICE and be informed, a list of fundraisers to contribute to, and more actions like attending DFL caucuses on 2/3, adding that she’d be supporting peggy flanagan for US senate

there is no greenbrier st in minneapolis. that’s in st. paul reporters who are parachuting in keep doing this bsky.app/profile/lewi...

They make themselves intellectually neither respectable nor revolutionary but rather a grapeshot factory for fascist politicians seeking to turn the people into fodder for their cannons. -note in response to academics just asking questions and failing to address reality in their dreamed futures

Maybe I will turn back to just posting snippets of my pocket notes so I write more.

Every new story about ICE's human rights violations fills me and everyone I talk to with such indescribable hatred and rage. When there comes a day after this, whoever has the authority must not be lenient on those who have made themselves enemies of the whole of human kind.

I will not fault national clergy if they do not join us on 23rd. So far it is forecast to be dangerously cold.

Minneapolis looks less like law enforcement and more like a very expensive temper tantrum.

People have been asking if there's a resolution floating around for the abolition of ICE. I wrote up some wording that people can use to take to their caucuses and added it to the page describing how to fill out the Resolution form: www.abetterdfl.org/resolution

Friday.

Reading this article, it really feels like subpar writing by people who struggle to understand the situation. It's not that people are struggling with Minnesota's image. Rather, we are currently being invaded by federal agents who have unleased lawless violence on the land. People are avoiding that.

I remember getting out of a parking ticket by demonstrating the inconsistency in enforcement and implying that the clearest explanation for which was and was not enforced was demonstrable by motivated bias based on bumper stickers. Anyways, is the FACE Act consistently enforced?

Allegedly these two David Easterwoods of St. Paul are the same David Easterwood of St. Paul. Allegedly. But only allegedly.

Looking at academics stick their thumbs up their buttholes while purely conjecturing about LLMs is wild. They seemingly have no understanding that building the bridge between the world that is real here and now to an ideal world is exactly what building the future is about.

Two community members stand on the street corner of Central Ave and 18th St, watching over a local business in 5° temps with a wind chill of -15°. They are patrolling the area, keeping an eye out for ICE activity, doing what they can to protect their immigrant neighbors.

All these other cities are like “we’d do x, y, and z to ICE, we’d be way more badass than Minneapolis” and as a Minneapolitan I have to tell you this is a weird fucking thing to be competitive about, it is an absolute hell and a really bleak thing to be fantasy role playing.

The cold is here to stay! Please help us by donating via Venmo or Cashapp- our immigrant-owned businesses need our support more than ever, and every meal we can provide in this frigid weather could be lifesaving. Info to donate is in the graphic below!

One asymmetric info issue that Dems have to figure a way to handle is that religious Christians are going to hear a lot more about this than the priest who got shot in the face by ICE with pepper balls

"A protester detained, her bra removed and wedding ring cut off, and some of her clothes never returned..." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/u...

Let's apl watch Salo and nod in understanding about how that is actually exactly what fascists are like.

People of color describe being stopped, questioned or detained by immigration agents despite being U.S. citizens, raising civil liberties concerns.

So to keep people in the loop, one of the biggest school districts in the state is closed Tuesday and Wednesday because they need to give teachers time to build hybrid options for families worried about their children getting kidnapped on the way to school by lawless masked armed federal goons.

hey @dfl.org, where are the Spanish, Somali & Hmong non-attendee forms?? i cannot find them on ur website.

kinda wish you had this energy for the immigrants being kidnapped off the street and not for some cishet white dude who's getting criticized online

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.

Funded protesters? We have taken it on ourselves to donate our own time and money for the commonwealth of our city. Not everyone is a greedy, heartless dog killer.

Coming back to this a year later and it is a really poignant description of WHY Minneapolis is the way it is, especially in this moment. Locals know who we are, who we love, who we protect, and how our communities should be rallying together.

The centrist fundraisers who refuse to work with the leftists who are organizing and actually resisting are upset that people are upset that they aren't serious about opposing fascism and now they are full on DARVO about it. Don't they have another censorship bill or corporate welfare to focus on?

those of us on bluesky are a bubble. we can say we all need to show up, but what is the DFL doing to make caucuses safe for vulnerable people? we can’t go virtual. so what’s to prevent ICE from showing up? feels like we’re gonna have very white caucuses and it’s all just gonna benefit angie craig

eric eskola brought up the concern that DFL caucuses will be very white due to fear of ICE on TPT’s almanac on friday night too www.pbs.org/video/ice-in...

I appreciate the effort, but capitalism is never going to be the answer. Cargill fought all the way to SCOTUS for its right to profit from child slavery. Target has collaborated with law enforcement to be a testing ground for mass surveillance. UHG literally kills people. 3M poisoned our water.

Happy 11th anniversary of me losing my fucking mind over this QVC clip

hard not to notice that as trump's polls crater and gop gets crushed in election after election, news orgs are not racing around hiring progressive commenters and boasting about how they're reaching out to real americans by following the will of the volk.

Sending US airborne troops to invade a state that you’ve been harassing and violating the civil rights of for months in order to punish them for believing in Black Lives Matters is a truly horrific and awful turn for this country. It will take all of us to take to the streets in all of our cities

The crop art is gonna slap this year

Our community is in peril. Our neighbors need our help in this time of ICE presence and subzero temperatures. Mpls has a shortage of available shelter for residents, and our city govt has not developed adequate resources to humanely house people. Please support MIWRC in this time of emergency.

if you don’t live in minneapolis and you’re just watching from afar you need to get familiar with ring theory and stop venting your anger at us, it’s inappropriate and not helpful to have people who do not live here replying to us with negative emotions. stop putting that on us

The Obama prize was so embarrassing for exactly that reason. Even he was clearly embarrassed by it. He spent his entire Nobel lecture defending the wars he was currently overseeing, with placeholders for the ones he might start!

Another common strategy is to sow enough doubt about the election that questions arise about their reliability. Leaders planning to cheat commonly accuse their opponents of cheating and those who sow violence accuse the other side of creating disorder and promoting violence.

I told everyone this was their “plan” when people started talking about legislation. The plan is Trump told credit card company to lower rates by Jan 20 and that’s it. Just another stunt to fool people into thinking they’re doing something. bsky.app/profile/atru...

If you’re in the Twin Cities and want to do the most minimal thing to annoy ICE, drive the fucking speed limit. These goons get so angry when 20 is plenty.

Morning, from Occupied Minneapolis. Going to keep shouting from the rooftops: 🗣️ THERE IS TOO MUCH BEING ASKED OF SCHOOL TEACHERS AND STAFF AND PARENTS AND NEIGHBORS PROVIDING SECURITY AND TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR PRECIOUS CHILDREN THIS IS NOT SUSTAINABLE

This is what everyone on the ground id trying to prevent, which is why they’re so active in the suburbs and exurbs, where because density is lower, rapid response networks are not as well established. People outside Minnesota need to realize that these kidnappings are happening across the state.

In hiding... in the United States. Families are in hiding in the United States. Government gangs are forcing families into hiding in the United States of America.

Second man shares horrific story of being blinded by officers at anti-ICE rally in Santa Ana

Renee Good was found with gunshot wounds to the chest, arm and head after a federal immigration officer shot her the morning of Jan. 7, according to the Minneapolis Fire Department’s incident report.

Remember the video of that door busting ICE raid over the weekend? Not only was it done without a proper warrant, but the man they were looking for had checked in with ICE two weeks earlier. The chaos and violence is a performance. www.fox9.com/news/judge-i...

Minneapolis woman has her home torn up after federal agents serve search warrant on the wrong address. youtu.be/_mulYNgbs14?...

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely. That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.
