ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...

ten years ago today no one clapped

You ever thing about how these agents don’t even have proper uniforms or vehicles. Like… how can you even take yourself seriously.

Would sure be nice to have a UBI right now.

Today is February 1st. Community is organizing mutual aid as thousands of families are struggling to pay rent. As a housing navigator, youth worker, and MPRB Commissioner, I am calling on Governor Walz to enact an eviction moratorium.

This just in: if you’re so hot and hate ICE you can win a Grammy.

we need to take a moment to celebrate when a good thing happens. it is fuel for the work. feel the joy. take a big breath in. let yourself cry. we will win because we've got us.

Of all the things that have actually broke me, it was the night Tim Walz said “work with local law enforcement and do this the right way” and essentially rip people from their homes in the middle of the night. Instead of fighting for us, they’re selling us out.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Someone told me the other day an eviction moratorium is complicated and I was like … I guess I don’t care. Because this (below) is the alternative.

So help me if Walz or Klobuchar or Smith show up for a photo op after Liam’s father lands I will lose my shit. THEY DID NOTHING

This is horrifying

This is what I was thinking—it’s not safe to center those stories right now. I’m in awe of all the kids going back to remote school with residual lockdown trauma. Of the immigrant business owners picking up their staff and driving them home daily. And every unseen kindness and survival strategy.

Mercado Central says the cooperative is in danger of losing the building ☹️ gofund.me/cf76f8dcb

Anyway it’s late and I can’t sleep and I’m ruminating. Everyone is being brave. 💙🤍🩵

An (I’m assuming unpopular) thought I have been having is the importance of centering immigrants and refugees in our stories of this moment. When we center the stories of only observers, we get milquetoast. Do you know who is brave? The mom who is terrified to go to work accepting help.

Minneapolis has an incredible council reflecting the diversity of our beautiful city - many are immigrants or are the children of immigrants. CM’s are showing up, helping kids get to school safely, working to ensure families are able to stay in their homes, etc. They are leading & doing the work.

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/

The thing about Bluesky is: no jokes allowed. Liberal men are here to liberalmansplain you immediately.

ABSOLUTELY NOT

feds have arrested jamael lundy alongside journalists georgia fort and don lemon for the protest at a st. paul church led by an ICE agent lundy is currently running for state senate district 65 in minnesota. his wife is anika bowie, a st. paul city councilmember www.jlundyforsd65.com

Like I said, if Amy wants my vote, she’s driving to Texas and she’s coming back with Liam.

south minneapolis residents set up their own traffic calming makeshift roundabout, building a campfire to keep warm as they guarded the intersection “ICE GO HOME” written on a sign nearby

NOW: At 32nd and 15th in South Minneapolis. federal agents smash up their car, leaving the car there while hopping in another vehicle, per bystanders. Reports of a person taken as well. Minneapolis January 23, 2026

A friend is raising funds to cover the rent for 15 households in Minneapolis who are sheltering in place to keep their families safe. 🌻 gofund.me/ffedd1c60

smart get-out-the-caucus mailer design from Ilhan’s campaign

For an admin who loves AI, they sure don’t know how to prompt it to write a concise tweet.

This summer I told a Republican who’d been harassing DFL booth workers at a rural county fair, and then gotten in a shouting match with my dad, to be careful about what he said to me because I was a proud constituent of the baddest bitch to ever do it, Congressperson Ilhan Omar.

They detained four workers from a Mexican restaurant yesterday here in Brainerd, two hours north We now have 48 detainees in the Crow Wing County Jail

Three shootings by ICE and other federal immigration agents have taken place in Minneapolis this January, including the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. You can find all of our reporting in one place here:

I've seen Lake Nokomis in all kinds of light but nothing more lovely than this

They’re befuddled over organization because they cannot imagine truly loving or being loved.

JK it’s the helicopter

As we in Minneapolis struggle with this unlawful, invading force… I ask all of you consider the parallels to your local law enforcement and the Black community often describes their interactions.

“I live on a rural island in Alaska, reachable only by plane or boat. In our little town, 50 to 100 people stand outside each week at our town's roundabout to protest and hold vigil and stand in solidarity with you. We hold signs supporting Minnesota and demanding ICE Out.” Rachel, Alaska

You guys a car alarm has been going off for hours outside our window and I know there’s so much to lose it over but this just might do me in.

STOP POSTING WHAT YOU LEARN IN CHATS WHAT THE FUCK

I love you, you organizers and wine moms alike who are doing so much without being able to share it. You’ve been trained for years to post and share every moment and movement and you’re resisting. I know you’re tired, focused, angry, brave. You’re not alone, but you already knew that.

Hello, calling philanthropy!?

Agreed. It’s everyone, and everywhere. It’s outer ring suburbs organizing their own rapid response teams. It’s young and old, and across political spectrum. They’re attacking our way of life, and so everyone is fighting back.

Should I get a PO Box where ppl can send cards to those sheltering in place? … hmmmm

I love you, @ziibiing.com

In San Francisco we said “go giants” instead of hello. In Minneapolis we say, “fuck ICE.” 💅

Change the word protestor to American or Minneapolis resident if you’re a journalist. Thanks.

Just so we are all aware: yes, being politically active is a risk. Yes it will affect your career- it has affected mine. Yes it will put you in danger- I receive death threats regularly. But revolution for better or worse requires risk. Otherwise your writing stands for very little.

I love you, you punks of South MPLS.

So, uh, are @governorwalz.mn.gov and friends going to let us name a snow plow “Abolish ICE” now?

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

Ice is now using the levers of state power to attack businesses that are acting under the first amendment to protest their actions if you are outside of Minneapolis in St. Paul, you are under reacting to the danger we are all in.

In the Phillips neighborhood!!! Which is where they are already terrorizing people.
