Star Tribune Guild members wore our union merch to work today after management's announcement of 15% layoffs across the company, including within the newsroom.

Statement from the Star Tribune Guild in response to management’s plans to lay off 15% of staff, including union members in the newsroom:

The Star Tribune will be laying off 15% of its staff, including many who worked tirelessly to cover the Hortman assassinations, the Annunciation school shooting, social services fraud and Operation Metro Surge. Here is the statement from the Star Tribune Guild that represents newsroom employees:

This sucks.

The Minnesota Star Tribune won the Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News for its coverage of a shooting at a Minneapolis Catholic church last summer.

“I would always try to play football with my friends, but when I was younger, it used to be considered a man’s sport, so I could never play, so now playing flag football, I feel like I’m a role model for younger girls who have the same aspirations.” varsity.startribune.com/minnesota-vi...

The Minnesota Star Tribune, @mprnews.org @minnesotareformer.com , @spokesmanrecorder.bsky.social, @sahanjournal.bsky.social, Center for Broadcast Journalism and Minnesota Newspaper Association today released the following statement:

My @mprnews.org colleague & I rode along with observers after the Twin Cities surge at the start of December, well before most national publications came to town. It was really necessary to get at what ICE is really doing on the ground & how people are opposing it. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

"What was once a celebration of diversity now threatens to put a target on some of the team’s families, who are sheltering in place..."

Minneapolis man @whstancil.bsky.social says all that internet bullshit is secondary to what he is doing now. He’s too busy following feds, for as many as 30 hours per week, as they try to abduct his neighbors.

ICE detained hundreds of thousands of people last year, shuttling them between jails and detention centers around the country, limiting access to legal support.

The number of hockey sticks being repurposed for signs tonight is the most Minnesotan thing ever

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

The man fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis this morning has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, according to sources familiar with the investigation.

I want to share some of the great reporting my colleagues are doing here in Rochester, Minnesota, just an hour and change south of #Minneapolis. We've seen more ICE activity here over the past two weeks, though not to the degree seen in the Twin Cities metro.

Two days after an ICE agent killed Renee Good in Minneapolis, a federal agent asked an observer, "Have y'all not learned?" Her phone was taken and she was briefly detained. Two days after that, another federal agent said, “You did not learn from what just happened” to a different observer.

Here is a lovely story about Renee Good by @kimvhyatt.bsky.social and @cvondracek.bsky.social : www.startribune.com/renee-good-f...
