The Durutti Column - Never Known (Live at the Venue London; 1983)

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Chemtrail.

At Whipple where expired dicks are being thrown at ICE vehicles and those believed to be agitators. The area has been a place of protest since thousands of federal agents arrived in the city. Near Minneapolis February 7, 2026

You’re describing an emergency. The world is also watching you and waiting for you to do something. Are you going to establish an eviction moratorium? Rent is due today.

stray thought: I love Lost Highway but there's that scene where Dick Laurent and his goons run a tailgater off the road and pull him out of his car, and when they do the guy lets out this Rick and Morty-ass scream that never fails to take me out of the movie a little bit

Maybe instead of a post you could really make an impact in Alex Pretti’s honor by signing an eviction moratorium. Alex is a hero who laid his life down for our country, our state, our neighbors. He deserves more than a post. We all deserve more than a post. Take. Some. Action. Enough. Talk.

It’s good that Bovino is out and the administration is publicly backpedaling BUT this happened today (and probably many more, too).

no words of the radicals have radicalized me as much as the silence of the moderates.

here in the Twin Cities grade schoolers are being kidnapped. legal observers pinned down and tortured with chemical irritants. Bovino and his goons rolling up and tear gassing random intersections. let's check in and see how our senior senator/possible future governor has risen to the crisis!

one of those images and stories that collapses everything and forces you to confront the fact that true, genuine evil walks amongst us

I spoke to a friend on the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota board. They need financial donations to keep up with the heightened demand for their services: www.ilcm.org ILCM is a nonprofit that provides free immigration legal representation to low-income immigrants and refugees in MN & ND

👋🤠

Notice who is providing their updates from the front lines, arm in arm with their people, and who is providing their scoldings from behind a fancy podium.

the last 5 years have really clarified the dichotomy at the heart of the Democratic party: the elected pols who think their job is to show up and look solemn at vigils vs. those that understand their job is to make sure those vigils don't need to happen in the first place

I'm supposed to leave for ANE in less than 24 hours, feeling incredibly torn up about it

On the ground here in Minnesota, it’s hard to reconcile the immense bonds of community that have been built in a week with the fact that we live in a country whose government appropriated billions of dollars to an unaccountable paramilitary force whose sole purpose is ethnic cleansing.

Neighbors standing guard over churches so that parents can have secret meetings about how to keep daycares safe. This is what's happening in the Twin Cities right now.

never been more pleased to see a deep freeze on its way 🤭

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Activists allege ICE tracked and intimidated Minnesotans observing their operations using private data like license-plate and car-registration info — data that, advocates say should only be accessed during active criminal investigations. The ACLU of Minnesota calls for answers and accountability.

Video of federal agents getting run out of Lyn Lake this afternoon. Agents drop a gas can at the end and someone kicks it back at them.

I’ve never loved the Twin Cities more than I do right now.

The people of Minneapolis are hounding immigration agents wherever they pop up. Earlier today:

Trump's thugs are going hog wild and tossing gas around in one of the busiest commercial districts in Minneapolis, just a mile or so from where I live. Complete insanity. (vid via Ford Fischer on X)

fuck ICE forever for what they did to my neighborhood today. there is no hell hot enough, no pit deep enough. no words cruel enough.
