40 armed police showed up to Lakewood City Council to intimidate activists asking for an independent oversight committee. Packed house tonight for police reform and zoning referendum vote.

Any ideas? Are there specific mutual aid efforts for public library workers in Minneapolis? 📚

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month. Statement from Standing Rock:

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."

A conservative dark money group got a pro-ICE ballot measure on Colorado’s 2026 ballot yesterday. Hopes of using it to squeeze swing district Dems and juice GOP midterm turnout may backfire, given current events.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

I hadn't noticed this is a constitutional amendment until today sentinelcolorado.com/state-and-re...

DOJ lies. DHS lies. ICE lies. That has been established. Do not repeat their claims as fact. Their claims are arguments or, often, misleading propaganda — when not outright lies. They are seeking to make a case for their lawlessness (and to please Trump), not seeking to inform.

Colorado! CORRN is our ice watch/rapid response. Put the # in your “favorites” ~ 1-844-864-8341 CIRC is the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition (part of CORRN) and you can sign up for a Know Your Rights training.

I’m sorry but as someone who has a book and a PhD on this exact thing, this is just straight up not true. The majority of Nazis discovered living abroad (particularly in the US, Australia, and UK) faced almost no legal consequences beyond the occasional loss of citizenship.

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind. It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty. Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face. Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

If ICE would do this to a child, what would they do to you? #AbolishICE #ShutDownICE #ImmigrantJustice #NobodyIsIllegalOnStolenLand #JulieGonzalesforColorado

NEW: Coloradans will vote in November on a conservative-backed ballot initiative to require local and state law enforcement to work with ICE. Initiative #95 qualified for the ballot today.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

🚨 Industry-backed Democrats helped Republicans turn proposed ICE reforms into a $20 million windfall for the body-camera industry.

Replace your HVAC air filters, folks. A clean filter prevents furnace shutdowns at these temps.

@chipublib.bsky.social Chicago Public Library, we would love to have you as a Bluesky friend! So far, we have @addisonlibrary.bsky.social, @frvpld.info, @glpld.bsky.social, @readwithhpl.bsky.social. We are collecting public libraries like Pokémon!

Trump’s Death Squads are disappearing kids.

Concrete things to do to support folks in #Minnesota who are being terrorized by #ICE www.standwithminnesota.com #MutualAid

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

This is so evil. We need a political opposition to this! Dems, your inaction is speaking volumes.

I am not a social media influencer I am just a regular Minneapolis dad trying to do a kid pickup this morning and get some gas. What do I find but that one guy and a bunch of bortech (whatever that is) blocking the station for a glamour shot. I stood right where I wanted to stand this is my town.

Every person killed in crashes in Denver has a name and a story. “On 1/2/26 my son tragically lost his life while crossing the street on 11th & Kalamath. The driver who hit my son did not stop they kept driving & left my baby to die in the middle of the street.” www.gofundme.com/f/celebratin...

Alex Valdez is a damnable motherfucker www.cpr.org/2026/01/20/c...

Folks should know that Colorado Dems are running a bill that would subsidize data centers with a 100% sales and use tax exemption. We’ve defeated bills like this before but I expect this to be a high profile battle this year.

Librarians might be interested in this opportunity! 📚

An incredible thread!

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

Has anyone done a survey of public libraries and whether/what kind of video games they have available for people to borrow? 📚

DO DENVER NEXT.

No surprise to librarians, but perhaps surprising to users, demands/prices for ebooks /audiobooks are killing public library budgets. David Szalay's book, Flesh,” costs DCPL: $28.99 hardcopy $59.99 ebook $69.99 audiobook DCPL owns hardcopy; rents & must repurchase ebook & audio book every 2 yrs.

More public restrooms across our city? Relief for all New Yorkers.

A lot of people telling people to donate to the DFL who don't even know what DFL stands for. (In more ways than one, possibly.) Anyway, here's a useful link: www.standwithminnesota.com

Denver girl, 12, missing from Virginia Village neighborhood trib.al/kQzd16V

There is nothing about him that is not disappointing. On the national stage, treat him like Andrew Cuomo. Signed, His constituent since 2000, since he was on the Board of Education. Through his congressional, then gubanatorial tenure. More wasted promise than a gifted kid.

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?

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"
