will never forget being chastised for saying "unhoused" and told that got trump reelected

Angie Craig is now arguing for the brilliant reform of ... making ICE wear body cameras. Angie, Jonathan Ross filmed himself killing a woman on his own phone and released it to the press.

"for over half a century, it has more clearly than perhaps any other state embodied the civic ideal that Trump seems intent on overturning."

"pokemon go to the polls was good messaging"

told my sister she should read yeats' the second coming to begin a team building exercise

minnesota is bigger than great britain

Another thing you should know about the Twin Cities, if you're not here, is that while the mayor and governor tell us to stay calm on TV, our council members and other local electeds are on the street patrolling and protecting neighbors, doing mutual aid, and otherwise serving the community.

"this strike force of out-of-town shitheads complaining about the customer service it has received from the people it is trying to oppress"

Which types of welfare fraud are politely litigated between white collar lawyers, and which types of welfare fraud are used to justify an immigration purge and shutting off resources to the poor?

Whoooooo caaaaaaaares my god stop

Mike Johnson compellingly making the case for abolishing ICE ...

guess who walks to the bus stop in the dark (the people we are all trying to protect)

And if you are outside of Minnesota, feel free to send us whistles. They are going out as soon as they are coming in. Together, we are unstoppable!

really really important that we 1) win 2) hold a grudge

its shameful to have mayors and governors on TV making empty threats while park board and school board members are out on the streets defending their neighbors both the pres of the mpls city council and the rep for the area renee good was killed in have been assaulted by ICE. in the last 24 hours

I haven’t even gotten the good layers out yet

THIS

Sharing a fundraiser for a school right here in Northeast Minneapolis. Many of our neighbors are afraid to leave their homes. The teachers and social workers know who has the most needs. 💯 of your donation goes to families in need right now. Venmo is only option for our PTA: @Edison-Treasurer

sorry I can't answer this email I'm watching the Boost Mobile is now how we live.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

if jd vance goes to mass and not just like, zoom bible study with mel gibson, I hope the priest gives him an EARFUL

you gotta love the cops saying "we're not coming" and telling her comply with flagrantly unconstitutional shit

Also, its illegal to discuss gender in some American universities now.

again: not an atrocity list. please God may you not witness atrocities. those are easy to feel you should write down. but the everyday--level where the grain of supremacy lies--is harder to remember to do invent. document it. plainly, clearly, repeatedly

[+++] in a time when the adrenaline has slowed. it will call back all the details. and it will assure you, when you maybe are told by people outside of your experience that what you saw was not what you saw, or what you felt not necessary to feel, that it was real and appropriate.

hey people of MN right now. might not feel easy or normal. but once a day take a minute to write down five plainly stated sentences about what you observed that day. doesn't have to be anything spectacular. snow blowing sideways. birdsong. neighbors walking. but do it. it'll help you remember [+++]

"The 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was a champion in that freedom struggle. Like legions of other Americans from all walks of life, she was acting as the eyes and ears of her Latino and Somali neighbors..." - @lfelizleon.bsky.social for @labornotes.bsky.social labornotes.org/2026/01/rene...

Post 2: What we're doing is asking the public, who may have video, who saw what happened, who may have evidence that bears on what the truth is in this case and they can use the portal below to submit evidence to the Minnesota BCA to gather it.

guy being protected by armed secret police "we will not be intimidated"

at least someone in the @racketmn.com comments is blaming renee good's murder on... st paul taking over local trash collection

So hey, while Frey is doing soundbytes and spouting off, Sheriff Dawanna Witt and Frey's Police Chief Brian O'Hara's people were at HCMC last night protecting ICE agents, refusing to trespass them from the ER waiting room there despite requests from the hospital, and elected officials.

We're open from 11 to 6:30 today if you need to stop by and grab a whistle for yourself or your friends or for everyone on your block. If you want to help fold zines, we'll be folding zines in the event space from 1 to 3. It's an easy way to help get whistles to people.

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.

the involvement is that they shot an observer

Growing crowd here at 34th and Portland in south Minneapolis, where witnesses tell me an ICE agent shot an observer in her car. Witnesses said she was not responsive and was taken away. Bovino is on scene along with dozens of federal agents.

I mean I’m as objectively outraged as any of you so don’t hear what I’m not saying here, but in a way this is the most traditionally American thing Trump has done in office ever

the thing about cats is that they're elegant

I’m sorry but ‘heritage American’ makes you sound like a tomato

Alright Friends & Neighbors on #BookSky We're officially 10 days out from Xmas & hot books are starting to go out of stock. So, here's a big old thread of PSB staff picks that have at least 3 copies in stock as of, roughly, now. All 20% off!...

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."
