These operations are going to have a long tail even when they end, on people, families, schools, and businesses. We’re going to need to step up to sustain the vibrancy of this beautiful state. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Shocking video of Witt‘s sheriffs acting exactly like ICE. These are not Feds, this is local law enforcement. www.startribune.com/ice-hennepin...

I was slightly encouraged by Joe Rogan's criticism of the Renee Good killing and so I made the ENORMOUS mistake of listening to the episode following Alex Pretti. Just need to get that off my chest.

Strongly encourage everyone to watch Rep. Morrison's video and read about conditions at Whipple. Detainees are being held in cramped makeshift cells without beds, blankets, or emergency care. Appalling human rights violations are unfolding right in our backyard. www.startribune.com/no-humanity-...

Honestly, pretty depressing that we all just understand and accept that our phones are government listening devices and that we are not free to say things the current regime might decide to prosecute. Even more depressing that probably not a single national Dem would stand on that.

I will take your Abolish ICE, and I will raise you repeal the PATRIOT Act.

The idea that we would allow evictions at this time is absolutely insane. Please call Governor Walz and tell him to prevent displacements while we are under federal occupation.

Whatever we’re doing, it’s not enough.

Here is a video taken just this morning of ICE pepper spraying my friend who was standing several feet away, and behind a fence, from agents attempting an abduction. Nothing about their conduct has changed. We need to continue our observations but please do so as safely as possible. Fuck ICE.

I think its important for Minnesotans to start imagining what we want this place to look like after this occupation is over, especially now when it clearly isn't over. We've learned a lot about ourselves. Imagine! Fight for it. Contested primaries are a good place for this.

Important thread on the people profiting off of inhumane anti-welfare policies.

Ilhan totally fearless. What a boss.

I am very happy for the momentary reprieve of Bovino's departure. If this proves a slow-down of the brutality, we still cannot stop: Get the names, show their faces, prosecute every case of misconduct. Make "abolish ICE" a Dem litmus test. Never again. No quarter for fascist sympathizers.

Love.

I love DreamHaven but had no idea that was the owner. God bless this wonderful city and everyone who is showing up to defend it.

Everyday is such a roller coaster of tragedy and care, but at the end of the day this is what I can’t stop thinking about: They held him down, they took his gun, and they shot him 10 times. I won’t forget that as long as I live.

This is helpful. We need more of this. We need the city’s help in physically blockading our neighborhoods.

Please everyone be safe as possible as you show up today. ICE has been escalating all week and they may be actively looking to kill several people today.

This is why we will win. Because they can do nothing but cause harm.

When he’s hot, he’s hot

It wasn't that long ago that all of us understood this guy to be the stock image for "man who's come to terrorize your community." Now my government tells me he's the most honorable, ethical, best trained, most experienced police in the world.

I never liked affordability as a slogan, and now you see both Republicans and national Democrats talking about lower prices and bigger paychecks while Trump makes an end run at fascist rule. Dark.

They were ignoring it anyway, but but this permission slip will hurt and kill people

I know Will Stancil in passing and I find his online presence extremely annoying. But goddamnit, when he shouted "IF YOU'RE GONNA ARREST ME FOR FOLLOWING, DO IT NOW BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA STOP!" ...I felt that. Credit where it's due. This is solid tailing by Stancil.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

I don’t spend a ton of time at the Whipple protest but I appreciate the hell out of those that do. Standing out in 9 degrees and blowing snow to let them know we won’t look away from what they are doing and we won’t forget the ones they’ve taken away. That’s a patriot in my book.

Please keep me in your thoughts as I wrestle with thoughts of how many diapers and pads I could have fit in Rita, my stolen 2006 Chevy Suburban. (Group donation, not just me)

Running Nazis out of town and then whimsical cardboard sleds at Powderhorn - you just have to love Minneapolis.

I just really hope no one disrespects federal law enforcement at the Powderhorn Art Sled Rally today 😏

I am at the Know Your Rights Town Hall and Jaylani Hussein just said the thing I keep coming back to: “In a way, we should cherish this moment.” Although it is terrifying, our unity and defense of one another is beautiful and will lead us, eventually, to a brighter future.

I disagreed a lot with @minnesotareformer.com in the past year because I feel they haven’t been tough enough against authoritarianism, but editor JP Coolican delivers a wallop to Blois Olson‘s smug complicity that‘s a must-read. minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/16/w...

What I saw last in North was horrifying. ICE agents repeatedly advanced on and brutalized peaceful protesters, firing tear gas and flash bangs indiscriminately. Unprovoked agents rushed a dispersing crowd more than a block from their lines, just to reignite the chaos. This is state terrorism.

I’m going to tell you a beautiful story in three parts.

This whole thing really puts a fine point on just how fascist-chic vehicle design has become. And the proliferation of insanely illegal window tint.

It's fucking insane that they're all masked. Every time I step back and think about that it blows my mind.

It's impossible to comply with these goons, they tell her to go, she starts to go....and then the guy runs up and smashes the window and they all surround her and drag her out. Criminals doing carjackings are more organized than this

The "we will root out fraud in Minnesota by pressuring the people who uncovered that fraud to harass a widow instead" plan is going great

Dozens of ICE agents stood around 34th and Portland — inches away from where Renée Good was murdered — doing absolutely nothing but wait for the crowd to get more and more agitated. After 15 minutes pacing back and forth they set off a bunch of flashbangs and irritants and left.

ICE left an unexploded flashbang with the pin in it behind on Portland Ave after the crowd ran them out

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

I have to go public with my belief that small dick jokes, gay taunts, and other petty insults directed at ICE are not helpful. It centers nonsense rather than the gravity of what they are doing. If we are a dis-regulated mob we are that much easier to ignore. Just my opinion, open to thoughts.

Incredible @statuscoupnews.bsky.social interview with Skye, who says she’s a Marine Corps vet and appears to have just been released from Whipple. She says she was trapped by ICE, yanked out of her car and stomped on. 1/2

Eviction moratorium seems essential, both to protect vulnerable families and to build political pressure from the investor class.

This is true and they will straight up say so if you talk to one of them for 5 minutes.

“How can we annoy ICE into insanity?” My god I just realized — we’ve got Will Stancil!!

Incredible scene yesterday, but I do think we need to bring this crowd to Whipple.

Katie Cashman has suggested the most promising idea so far. Can we get #PukeOnICE trending?

They hate Minnesota because we are a people who believe that "we all do better when we all do better." Minnesota is one of the wealthiest, safest, and cleanest states in the country *because* of our openness and generosity. Our quality of life is a direct challenge to their zero-sum worldview.

Not really room for this in the rapid response chats but I feel like we need some creative brainstorming. A lot of these racist fucks seem to like being yelled at. What else could we do? What would make their jobs more weird and annoying?
