Folks, the indicted Minnesota 15 are merely the easily picked off neighbors of all the legal observers protecting us in Minnesota during the worst of the Metro Siege. Many people stood with Minnesota. Don’t abandon them. Don’t just comment, like, and repost. DONATE! chuffed.org/project/1865...

Another supposed co-conspirator Natasha Rakotz, age 45, turned herself in today. ICE agents must have been terrified: she is alleged to have followed them in a Honda Civic. Also alleged to have sideswiped them…I can’t imagine that if she had done so, ICE would not have detained her. Or killed her.

My former post, "I hate him", should be read as repeating every single day and anyone can fill in the reason for that day. Each day not only do I hate him more and more, I am more and more enraged. AND will continue to take all peaceful action possible. I am from Minnesota. We don't fret; we act.

Is anyone with the ability to do something still trying to get the Epstein files released? Or did all the distractions work?

I hate him.

Ah, the party of family values: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/18/u...

“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the U.S. military will no longer require all American troops to get the flu vaccine”. Because he never learned the influenza pandemic of World War I affected over 1 million U.S. soldiers, killing almost 30,000. What can possibly go wrong this time?

For all parents…

25th Amendment, Section 4. If only any of those who need to act would save our planet today. Or as Mr Lorensax so eloquently said, “anyone? Anyone?”

Chicken Little was right.

Minneapolis has a population of about 425,000. More people “processed” in ICE detention by this time….

Reposted from Adam Sawyer, the data analyst: 272,000 people were booked in ICE detention in Trump’s first 9 months, same # as population of St Louis, MO. St Paul Minnesota has a population of about 305,000. By now, Trump has more than emptied the city of St Paul.

Thank you, Metro Surge: “The U of M Center for Urban and Regional Affairs estimates the statewide rent debt may have doubled among low-income households in January and February. Rent debt is at least $27 million higher than normal and up to $51.3 million higher, the study concludes.” Startribune.

Supposedly less Gestapo here in MN with “only” 500 remaining. If true, the number still over three times the number before the “Surge” began. However, Hotel workers still report ICE. New cars delivered to Whipple only days ago. They are still here. Best info: yesterday’s reports of activity.

And I would like to remind folks that the annual ICE/CBP budget is about four times higher than the annual amount spent on TANF/welfare budget.

And now, in about 12 hours on a Sunday, 55 confirmed ICE incidents were reported to ICEOUT.org. Do you feel better knowing that 1000 ICE thugs supposed have left? And that at least 2000 remain? ICE is still kidnapping. Still sending people in shackles by flying boxcars to unknown locations.

Six incidents of ICE suspected/observed in Minneapolis/St Paul general area since 3 am this morning reported to ICE OUT. It’s 9:15 am. Sure, ICE is gone, LOL.

1 Homan only said ICE surge in MN will end “soon.” 2 What did our governor give up? 3 ICE will continue to pick off people here-just one at a time, in the middle of the night. 4. The invasion will go elsewhere. 5 ICE continues to violate the Constitution as a secret police loyal on to the Führer.

No new pictures. Where are you at mentally?

Here’s one way ICE says it’s operations in Minnesota will change: ICE officers will receive megaphones so that they can issue commands to the public and "need to verbalize every step of the arrest process.” Don’t you feel so much better? Glad we still have our whistles….

Of all the posts and memes, my favorite is the advice, not taken by Napoleon or Hitler: “never invade a winter people in winter.”

Reminding Minnesotans that Tom Homan is still a Nazi, just one wearing civilian clothes & is “polite”. Joseph Goebbels frequently wore lovely tailored suits. Tom Homan devised Zero Tolerance, separated families at the border, and caged children. He contributed to Project 2025. Took $50,000 bribe.

Dear people of Maine. I hear some of you asking “activists” from Minnesota to share our wisdom. 1. There are no “activists”; there are no leaders; there is no guide. There is just us. People. Neighbors. Friends. Coworkers. Members of your organizations: PTA, gym, church/mosque/synagogues.

Just wondering. Who around the Orange Buffoon played Risk and believed it to be the basis for foreign policy?

Would people in Minneapolis wondering what to do, please bake cookies to pass out to people doing Rapid Response, to immigrant neighbors, and to all other neighbors? Cookies build community. Cookies thank people. No cookies for ICE.

I am a very slow learner; I just finally learned today that there is absolutely no point in replying to people who post misinformation. I had assumed that people were genuine, open-minded, that a calm presentation of facts would help people learn and/or match their positions to reality. Silly me.

Our Somali community in Minnesota is a large, vibrant, hardworking community, the largest Somali community in the US. Over 90% are US citizens; over 50% of those were born here. Support our family/friends/neighbors; support Somali businesses chamber-blackstarmg.nationbuilder.com/members

Trump now targeting Somalis in Minneapolis St Paul. NYTimes gift article here. ANYONE IN MINNEAPOLIS-ST PAUL know where to get Know Your Rights CARDS in Somali. Monarca does not have them on its website. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/12...

Darth Cheney is dead. Best news to start the day.

MN Republican Rep Tom Emmer wants Minnesota to repeal its trans refuge law alleging the shooter at Annunciation school was trans. Following that logic, all white cis men and boys should be removed from the state as they are the vast majority of school shooters. How about removing assault weapons?

“Russia Demands Role in Guaranteeing Ukraine’s Postwar Security” is as brilliant a plan as the fox guarding the hen house…the fox can demand whatever it wants. But the plan should be laughed out of the room.

Land for peace=appeasement.

Yes, we are pleased to think Trump’s downfall may be his pedophilia which now offends his base. But this all is old news & he’s had actual criminal convictions for his sexual misconduct. His base still voted for him. Why does anyone think revelations from the Epstein files matter? He’s a fascist.

Very pleased that Minneapolis DFL convention endorses democratic socialist state senator Omar Fateh for mayor over incumbent Jacob Frey. DFL has been unable to agree on a candidate to endorse since 2009.

#1 Some of the authoritarian regimes historically: Spain under Franco, Chile under Pinochet , Brazilian military dictatorship (1964-1985),Argentine Junta (1976-1983), Indonesia-Suharto (1966-1998) Soviet Union/ Stalin (1928-1953) North Korea (1948-present):China under Mao (1949-1976). See thred..

@ladylawyerdiary.bsky.social Well, sharing this story about the “olden days”: I was admitted to practice in the first “wave” of women lawyers. In 1982-84, a local judge routinely called women lawyers practicing before him lawyerettes. So we had baseball jackets made with that embroidered on them.

Vance Boelter, suspect in shooting of Minnesota lawmakers, taken into custody in Sibley County, MN. (Article on public radio at 9:30 pm CT)

I wanted to share my increased admiration and give thanks to Minnesota AG Keith Ellison. Despite the devastating loss of his colleague and friend Melissa Hortman, and despite being on the assassin’s target list, he bravely showed up and eloquently spoke, encouraging us all to never give up.

Trump continues to look for ways to suppress all opposition. He is on the fine line legally by calling out the National Guard in LA. His executive order used language just barely within the authority of 10 U.S. Code § 12406: impeding ICE = impeding execution of laws. Maintain peaceful resistance!

@ilhanmn.bsky.social your official website has a problem at omar.house.gov/address_auth.... Endlessly looping.

Yes, tariffs are harming the economy and real folks. Lots of other harms. But let’s keep our eyes on the big picture: our Constitution, separation of powers, defeating fascism. Without a democratic government and the rule of law, the rest doesn’t matter (as much).

#1 Habeas corpus ( Latin for “produce the body/the person”) tells the custodian/the keeper/here immigration, to bring the detained person before the judge and explain what justifies the continued confinement of the person.

It’s important that people from all walks of life and background, and all rational political perspectives, show unity in support of democracy and the rule of law on April 5, somewhere near you. Show your love for your country and for what it should—must—stand for: handsoff2025.com/

April 5th suggestion: Bring a new person with you. Bring that person who agrees that Trump is destroying us, but is scared to go to a demonstration. Bring that person who thinks it doesn’t matter. Let’s double the turnout by each of us bringing one new person.

Yes, I am concerned about the breach of security regarding an attack on Houthis in Yemen. An investigation and charges should be brought. However I am more concerned about the President attacking another country without explicit Congressional authority. Anyone in Congress paying attention?

Just an interesting thought. When violent crimes are committed by immigrants, that is the focus and frenzy. 89% of homicides are committed by people with one prime characteristic: they are MEN. Why don’t we focus on that characteristic? Lock up all men? Just looking at the absurdity.

Inch by inch we watch as safeguards fail. Now we hold our breath as we look to see if one more judge in one more courtroom can protect the Constitution and the rule of law.
