So we all know that ICE hasn't really left, right? They're just moving out of the metro where there fewer eyes and whistles. The Hampton in Brooklyn Park is packed with SUVs. Good grief

The death penalty results is so many miscarriages of justice that any truly civilized nation would stop using it, not expand it.

When the city said they made no agreements for the "drawdown" I thought it was suspiciously specific wording. Apparently they did make agreements, just not with a specific quid pro quo.

ICE needs security forces? ICE agents will be out and about? They're not leaving? Being out and about means you have to be there. Now they're going to have security forces? ICE will have bodyguards? It almost sounds like they're adding more people.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Less than a hundred years ago, from 1931-1934, Minneapolis residents threatened and assaulted a Black family that had the temerity to not live in the "right" neighborhood. It only ended because they moved. Their child had to be escorted by police to go to school.

Assuming the street numbers are the same now as then, 8th Ave S is not Chicago Ave and has been for a very long time. Unsurprisingly, I can't find any permits for this building (it was erected before permits were a thing here). The site is either parking, light rail, or Vikings stadium now.

People think one has to be mentally ill to fall for a GPT illusion or a cult, but that's manifestly untrue. Cults draw people in by providing a place they feel they can belong. It's a seduction, and while it works best on the lonely *anyone call fall for a cult.* Cults don't look evil at first (1/?)

This house cost $20,000 in 1883 to build, more than 20x (probably 30x or so) the cost of most houses. Construction costs have gone up all out of whack with inflation, given that an average house is about $300K to build today it would probably be $10-15 million.

For no particular reason, thinking about how the Minneapolis Aquatennial was concocted by business men in 1940 to water down the memory of a 1934 Union victory that happened in spite of violent and deadly opposition

There's a real Cargo Cult Mamdani thing going on with Frey right now. Yes, liking the city is a good thing in a mayor. But it works for Mamdani because (1) he actually does like his city, unlike Frey who clearly does not, and (2) his actions are rooted in that, not just expressive gestures.

Where was literally any of this milquetoast energy a week or a month ago? Instead we got lectures and tear gas. And why do people need to do grocery runs for their neighbors, Frey?

I could share some city hall facts but that's boring. Across the street was Flour City Brush company! Who doesn't love the sound of that? They have a 1935 catalog!

The catalog has some super neat art in it. And all the brushes! Acid brushes! Flue brushes! Vat brushes!

Reupping for the evening crowd. We've raised a couple hundred more for this family today. I know lawyer-much money can seem like a big ask, but if people can chip in even a couple of bucks hopefully we can at least help the family find out which hellhole ICE has her in.

This is now the intersection of I-394 and Highway 100. Wayzata Blvd's original alignment was replaced by I-394, and The Belt Line was the colloquial term for TH 100 before the creation of the 494-694 loop.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.

This was an early breathalyzer. It couldn't exactly quantity how much ethanol was in one's system, but the chemical in it turned purple and more purple meant more drunk. The name Drunkometer is objectively hilarious and awesome.

Non-MN folks, know that the vast bulk of the resistance here is care work like this: distributing food, shoveling snow, driving people places. Most has to be done in strict secrecy, & even whatβs public is quiet. The resistance you see in videos is just the tip of an gigantic iceberg of solidarity β€οΈβπ₯

They're clearing unhoused folks from Cedar Ave under the bridges today. Talked to one of the garbage guys who says the city didn't even let them come by and pick up garbage bags for the last month. The city created a health crisis by refusing to help the unhoused with their trash.

I would love to see some comprehensive reporting on what, exactly, the governor, mayor, police departments and sheriffs DID concede to ICE. Because these negotiations still seem extremely vague and unclear.
