It was 85° in California the last several days; they were wearing masks.

Dozens of researchers will move to France from US following high-profile bid to lure talent. Large proportion worked at Columbia University, which had its grants cut and frozen by the administration of US President Donald Trump. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

“Lying in feces, throw up, urine… like animals in a cage at the zoo.” A whistleblower recounts the horrific ICE detention center conditions in Baltimore — a similar story everywhere.

If you cannot do it with people watching, what you're doing is not "law enforcement," obviously. It is legal to observe ICE, and the people committing "obstruction of justice" here are not the observers. This should be 100000000% obvious.

🧵I believe we've passed the point where any reduction in ICE's presence in Minnesota will change the overall feeling in the state. I don't mean there won't be relief if there are fewer or even no kidnappings. I'm sure people who are trapped in their houses will feel tremendous relief. 1/6

Everyone who’s recommended the 90 minute Technology Connections video “You are being misled about renewable energy technology” is right. You’re unlikely to spend the time better. Alec is always good (his dishwasher videos are life-changing) but this is another level. I’m with Alec. Abolish ICE.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FIRST AMENDMENT? @kare11.bsky.social @kstptv.bsky.social @mprnews.org @janashortal.bsky.social @dbrauer.net

We’re basically in First and Second Bull Run territory. But with dildos

Incredibly moving memorial in Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis for Renee Good. Over a thousand in attendance by my eye. The video is a eulogy delivered by a friend of Good. ICE out of Minnesota. Justice for Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

This line: "They claim to be in Minnesota because of “rampant fraud,” but they didn’t send accountants, they sent slave catchers"

"My country is full of lies sing-scream-screeches Nina Simone in the middle of ‘Mississippi Goddam’ and more than six decades later I scream it back from the other end of our shared river.” Magnificence from Danez Smith.

Not at all. That’s how much.

A man taken into custody in Rochester Thursday by federal immigration agents and now held at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities is a recent organ transplant recipient who is without his needed anti-rejection medication, state Rep. Kim Hicks tells MPR News.

This could easily be the next ICE murder in Minnesota. My god, this is sadistic. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Not that it would be okay to do this to an undocumented immigrant either but THIS GUY IS A LEGAL IMMIGRANT and also his lawyer hand delivered his medication and they REFUSED TO GIVE IT TO HIM. Enraging! How do ANY of these people live with themselves?

The feds are never going to provide any restitution for the chaos and damage they're causing, the very least we could do is ticket their traffic infractions.

In 2021, Daunte Wright was stopped for expired tabs in a Mpls suburb. A cop mistook her gun for a Taser & killed Wright, the worst example of over aggressive enforcement of minor violations but not the only. It’d be great if local cops brought that energy to ICE vehicles, minus the murder part.

We’ve got concentration camps and masked troops killing and kidnapping American citizens, but Tim Scott is on his knees praying the president’s AI slop is fake. This pairs well with Sen. Katie Britt who can’t stop thinking about Liam Ramos.

Whereas I had to check the date on this story because I thought he'd posted something like this half a dozen times already.

Perhaps @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov should join you tomorrow. It would be a far better use of their time than anything else they're doing.

Hell of a pelvic floor on that one.

I have a theory that Kid Rock’s music is so deeply unpopular that all the people behind this nonsenstical event have never actually listened to it, hence this drops days before the gig.

Look out, Tom Homan. This is you soon. Making the entire hospitality industry hate you is likely to have consequences. You’re going to need to start accepting Cava bags with actual food in them.

Over 21K people on this #NoKings Eyes on ICE call. Check it out. www.youtube.com/live/4xBUa67...

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

This makes me ill. I have written many recommendation letters over the years. I have never offered "aesthetic detail" and no one has ever asked. This is transparent bullshit. This is not how "men" behave. It is how a certain swath of powerful men behave, and they are desperate to normalize it.

The White House couldn't do the occupation of Minnesota without Kavanaugh Stops. None of Stephen Miller's white supremacist ambitions are possible without Brett Kavanaugh.

Performative concern for the children, a prominent gold cross, and 100 percent alignment with the administration when it counts. It's every bit as much a pose as the facades Marjorie Taylor Green, Nancy Mace, and Matt Gaetz threw up. Soft-focus features on these ghouls are utterly nauseating.

If allowed to wear masks in “unusual circumstances” ICE will simply claim the majority of circumstances are “unusual.”

The administration routinely calls ordinary Minnesotans terrorists and says observer video is doxxing. You just handed them a pass, Chuck. Remove Chuck Schumer now. Every second he spends talking about—and compromising on—masks is unbearable.

Please for the love of god how do we remove this man from office.

How many ICE-agent signing bonuses are riding this particular ride, I wonder?

JUST IN: In a new court filing, attorneys for Marimar Martinez call Chicago's U.S. attorney's office "active enablers of an out-of-control client." They cite reports from @chicago.suntimes.com and @npr.org in which DHS refuses to back down on claims that Martinez is a "domestic terrorist."

Homan and his paymasters will never understand what’s happening in Minnesota. What ordinary citizens are doing is beyond their ken. They can’t fathom standing on a freezing corner with only a whistle and a hi-viz vest because we want our neighbors to be safe. They think we're fools for caring.

This moment in time will leave unfathomably deep scars for Twin Cities children. My son's 5th grade class can no longer play on their playground during recess, because the school knows that a large number of those kids could get snatched at any time. Fully "legal" children.

They see school patrols walking to keep their friends from being kidnapped. They see teachers linking arms to guard the doors. They see a federal government who is basically telling them to drop dead. The kids of Minneapolis and St Paul are traumatized.

I am unarmed menopausal woman in a goddamn minivan while ICE is jocked up in body armor and strapped to the nines with weapons. If that intimidates you, maybe try barber college

A Tom Homan press conference where he chides Minnesotans for exercising their rights and defending their neighbors is an escalation. Homan is saying if we stop exercising our rights, maybe he'll violate the rights of fewer of our neighbors. Bovino in his Nazi costume was actually less infuriating.

This is a gif of me calling my reps to demand they fight for Minnesota.

A man who represents an administration that lies constantly about this occupation now wants Minnesotans to set aside our 1st Amendment rights, to stop bearing witnessing for our neighbors. And if we do that, then he'll stop harming our neighbors? Get the fuck out. It was always a lie.

U.S. citizen shot by federal immigration agents: On Friday, I was teaching at the Montessori school and helping the children prepare for Halloween. On Saturday, my own government was calling me a domestic terrorist, and I was in a federal detention center with bullet holes all over my body.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

🧵Your regular reminder that releasing children from federal custody is not an endpoint—for Minnesota or for the child. Kidnapping and detention by federal agents is a deep trauma and for all the resiliency of kids, recovery from this atrocity cannot possibly be swift. 1/2

Alex Pretti wasn't killed by rhetoric, he was killed by two masked CBP agents shooting him 10 times in the back after they had disarmed and pepper sprayed him. Rhetoric didn't kill Renee Good either, a thug from ICE did that with a gun as she tried to avoid hurting him.
