Don't worry Michelle, I got you. I have here proof of some paid protesters. Check this out!

I need to hear this. You may need it too.

When people from outside Minnesota ask me what it's like here, I tell them there is so much going on besides the protests you see in videos.

At Lk Nokomis in Minneapolis tonight for an ICE OUT event.

Things that have "sprinkles". Regular donut? So delicious. Donut with sprinkles? Garbage food only good for derision.

10/10 ICE protest sign

Just moments ago the parkway was TAKEN OVER by winter cyclists. At first I thought hundreds, but they just kept coming. Thousands and thousands! I almost cried. I’m so dang proud of MN right now.

HEY, I'VE GOT A RENT FUND THAT WILL GET TO PEOPLE WHO NEED TO PAY THEIR RENT WITH AS FEW DELAYS AS POSSIBLE! bsky.app/profile/ziib...

@governorwalz.mn.gov we need an eviction moratorium and rent support. You want to amp fighting spirit and make people feel good about themselves? That’s how you do it.

Please share widely

It's a good sum up for those outside of the Twin Cities. Entertaining and gut punching, all in one.

the foreign descriptions of what is going on are hilarious and terrifying www.youtube.com/shorts/SfzuV...

This is a thread where you are can share places to donate in MN that are NOT in Minneapolis (unless North Minneapolis) Saint Paul and outstate/greater MN. Please follow directions for once. Please.

Fuck ICE

It's not often you see a generic announcement get ratioed so hard.

"Over the last month, parents who belong to PTAs and other Twin Cities school support groups have tapped their collective organizing and fundraising expertise to meet extraordinary needs that school systems and local governments are hard-pressed to address."

My mom texted today saying that she was glad things were a little better over the last couple of days, and it broke my heart to text back, "no mom, they stepped up their raids, there's more stormtroopers on the way. National news got their story and don't care anymore."

Every six years, this motherfucker advertises his mug all over his state in print, radio and TV. He's been on national news countless times. You doxed yourself, dumbass!

Harsh, but fair.

Probably Neil Young. Honestly though, I would love to see RATM drop a banger about our area.

As much as I would like to believe this, please be careful sending out unsourced skeets. For example, I *want* to believe this, but that plays to my biases. But there's no link, no one quoted... Feels like it's farming for engagement.

Deleting Signal now that I know it's compromised Find me on COMPUSERVE BBS.

We're not done, Tim.

Now isn't the time to stop, Minneapolis. We still have to observe. We still have to protect our neighbors until every last one of these thugs is out of our state.

HEY PEOPLE IN 64A and 47A YOU HAVE A SPECIAL ELECTION TOMORROW. naomikritzer.com/2026/01/26/s...

Republicans are stupid as fuck. Every time, they have it in their brain that Democrats will get blamed for a shutdown, and every time they are wrong. They just expect people not to pay attention to this shit.

@governorwalz.mn.gov we desperately need an eviction moratorium in this time of crisis. Please support our neighbors.

If we wanted to root out outside agitators, we could hold a potluck with Minnesotans bringing a pan with a single bar leftover. Set those out and see who takes the bait.

Looking at the list of corporations, it's infuriating, but not surprising, to see so many health care companies signed on here. They'll never understand the actions of a community protecting itself; they'll never want universal coverage. Community is only a means to their profit.

I'm probably in the minority here but I'm glad Simon is (for now) staying as the Secretary of State. He would be great as governor, but I worry with SoS being a lower profile state office, there's a chance of someone getting in that could do real damage to future elections.

Yesterday, we joined tens of thousands to march. This am, ICE responded with violence. Alex was an ICU nurse, a union sibling, & an observer who stepped in to help. This is a union state. We will continue to show up, to watch, to document, and fight ICE is not welcome here.

It's not much, but a few candles to light the darkness.

For my St Paul neighbors, there's some folks trying to get a line of candles all down W 7th. I'll be at 7th and Davern for anyone who wants to join us.

It's amazing to me how many politicians and officials don't seem to understand that Minnesotans are filling the vacuum protecting the state's residents, created by pols' and officials' utter disinterest in doing so. They're all basically the cops of Uvalde.

Updated list of Bizes supporting the people. I will be hitting up as many of these as possible today. PUT GAS IN YOUR CAR TODAY. Get your groceries or whatever else you need today. Grab a coffee from one of these shops. Have a meal out tonight.

Fundraiser time for the Minnesota Indian Women's Resource Center warming shelter. I'll donate $1 for everyone who reposts this. And if you quote-post this with the amount you donated, I'll match it. www.miwrc.org/donate

Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family. gofund.me/be8a1b2ab

St Paul Parks and Rec really going through it

The federal government is using children for bait. I want all of these bastards to face a Nuremberg trial.

Folks outside of MN: if you've got friends in Minnesota, they could probably use a pep talk or a cute pet picture or I don't know, something nice. This has sucked for awhile, but today has been especially brutal.

I should not have checked Bluesky before bed. How am I going to sleep now?

Whelp, better update my bio.

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

It is shocking that in the space of a year that the US has lost not only its standing in the world, but nearly all of our soft power. The EU is already pivoting to other trade partners and China is more than happy to fill the void in places we once were.

Theoretically in ideal conditions, this is possibly true. BUT I think you only get there with several assumptions, such as: -bulk purchasing -access to long term storage -freezer/fridge capacity -time to cook -access to storage containers -time to store That's just off the top of my head.

He's forming the Legion of Doom.

Excellent guide.

This is the kind of inside joke I love.

Definitely today!!!
