Mischief Toys is a plaintiff in the lawsuit against the Trump administration seeking to hold his tariffs unconstitutional 🤔🤔🤔

Being abducted from your vehicles in the middle of the streets is so common right now in Minnesota, we had to fucking say THIS. That's just... WTF man. WTF.

Trump: I think I'd like to literally destroy the democratic process this country claims to hold as one of its central ideological and functional pillars. Reuters: He had his baba and his binkie and his crayons just like a big boy!

I believe speaker Mike Johnson was quoted as saying that ice is doing what it is designed to do...

"This is a verified page fundraising support for the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO and Working Partnerships' 2026 rapid response effort to meet the needs of impacted union members, worker center members, and their families..." workingpartnerships.betterworld.org/campaigns/su...

“don’t take the bait!!!” THEY’RE PEOPLE BEING TERRORIZED BY ARMED FEDERAL AGENTS, NOT TROUT

Hey, people are permanently losing their eyesight at some of these protests and have been for some time. These people, the ones that have put their bodies on the line, are among the people who would benefit from your usage of alt-text when posting protest related imagery.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

Step 1: Create street violence Step 2: Blame enemy group for street violence Step 3: Brutally oppress enemy group in the name of ending street violence Step 4: Tell goons to provoke less violence for a sec Step 5: "You have to give us more power so we can prevent street violence in the future."

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

these fucking ghouls.

"The vast majority of men are only willing to engage in public violence if they feel like the people around them will approve of — and reward them for — that violence. ICE Watch works because it surrounds men seeking approval with people loudly expressing their disapproval."

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

ICE hit a family with tear gas and a flash bang in Minneapolis. They were driving back from the store, not even participating in the protest. The entire family, including a 6 month year old baby were hit with the tear gas. This is their GFM. They are less then $25k away from their goal.

Wow all that preemptive scolding of hypothetical protesters and the feds are still coming after Walz and Frey? What a totally shocking and unpredictable turn of events. It’s almost as if who the federal govt is targeting nothing to do with “violence” or something

🙃 This FB post is public.

This shit is why calls for "non-violent" demonstrations have always been a strategy to kneecap movements. The bar for "violent" now includes saying "Fuck ICE." Violence, to them, is anything that challenges systems of power.

What ICE and Homeland Security are doing to Native people isn’t so much revenge for all of our tribes banning her from stepping foot on our reservations in South Dakota as it is a continuation of her long standing reign of terror against Native people.

Sorry , but most white voters can't acknowledge trans rights, or the rights of people of color, or out of control policing. And please list the "radical solutions" that were even *proposed*—let alone enacted—by effing JOE BIDEN, NANCY PELOSI & CHUCK SCHUMER I'M NOT MAD. I THINK IT'S FUNNY, REALLY

So is the argument here that Biden should have somehow forcibly prevented people from… having opinions about language? Imprisoned people who don’t think you should say slurs? Make pronoun pins illegal? Like in what way is other people having opinions you don’t like a failure of the administration?

ferocious cultural revolution lol

"You can't wear helmets, because that would protect you when we aim for your head with our launchers. You can't wear gas masks, because that would protect you from the gas we regularly unleash on crowds." These rules are only intended to make the protesters more vulnerable and easier to hurt.

When I was a young goose, the concept of a 'designated protest area' would have seemed laughably dystopian all on its own.

I can confirm via friend that works at MSP….”there was a confrontation with Ice and tsa yesterday. They were confronting the tsa in the checkpoints and asking for THEIR papers”

Insurrection Act because chain link fence

that posts about the weather in MN have picked up the same kind of widely understandable implicit meaning as things like “somebody’s gotta do it” and “maybe it’ll happen today” despite not having the same kind of memetic structure is really something

In case no one has mentioned it, the Twin Cities weather today is "air wants to hurt my face" level of whipping horizontal snow/ice/graupel

New: Jake Lang's Campaign of Terror The far-right influencer and J6 convict Jake Lang has been on a rampage across the country, sparking violent encounters through racist and islamophobic rallies. Tomorrow, he's leading a rally in Minneapolis. unicornriot.ninja/2026/jake-la...

New: We built an interactive map of every ICE contractor working with the Trump administration. readsludge.com/2026/01/16/t...

All of this about obeying in advance, too! This point "yes, ands" the idea that at some point it's an actual attack and not just bait. YES, when someone from your side calls an attack on you and yours bait, they're giving a permission structure to do nothing to protect you AND there is no benefit.

Don't have the wrong address, don't have any address. Existing anywhere for any reason is taking the bait and asking for it. /s

They're just invading homes and attacking kids at school. DON'T RESPOND IT'S WHAT THEY WANT. Pretend you didn't see anything and let them do whatever they want or else they're going to do whatever they want like invade homes and attack schools. Just don't do anything ever. Hashtag resist

How can you say that kids being wrestled to the ground in school parking lots is bait? How can you tell people not to react? HOW CAN YOU NOT REACT?

I find it necessary these days to affirm the obvious because the descent into fascism is mostly a continuous, not discrete, process so here it goes: these are internal checkpoints by secret police for what is routine freedom of movement.

The jackboots are out here saying "One heritage, one people" and liberals are like "One more training can fix this, just one more training bro please"

An 85-year-old Reagan appointee found that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Secretary of State Marco Rubio "conspired to infringe the First Amendment rights of people" and "failed in their sworn duty to uphold the Constitution.”

Minneapolis unions call for General Strike on Jan 23rd against ICE 5 major unions have joined the call so far & the list is expected to grow. paydayreport.com/5-minneapoli...

what's the big deal, he's just gathering training data for his art

Was listening to the Bulwark podcast yesterday and Tim Miller was like “stop the infighting about ‘abolish ICE’ vs ‘reform ICE’ and focus on fighting ICE” and I’m like my brother in Christ, we scream at the “reform ICE” people because it’s an excellent tell regarding who will fight and who will cave

MY EYES HURT BUT MY HEART IS BURSTING WITH HAPPINESS

I literally just sat there with my eyes closed directly facing the sun just soaking it up and it was glorious, cats are really onto something

Now this is art.

RIP to one of the surrealist ones to ever do it

I know I talk a lot of shit so I would like to clarify that I do actually love the upper Midwest, I’ve spent nearly half my life there and about half of that time of my own volition lol i do genuinely believe EC is cursed though, like I mean the literal physical place has Bad Vibes not the people

ICE has kidnapped one of my MN News Guild siblings

Lmao wow EC, my personal hell on earth mentioned! I can assure you EC has not in fact been “resettled” or even really notably changed because that place is the beating heart of the cult I grew up in and I ABSOLUTELY would’ve heard about it and been celebrating because fuck that black hole of a town

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

Liberals: I need you to understand that if you nominate this man, we will NOT vote for him. Period. You've got three years. Reject him. Because if he's your standard bearer, you lose. Polite fascism is not an acceptable alternative to fascism.

Once a day the neighborhood chat opens to provide the list of families who need a grocery run. The lists are claimed within minutes.
