Perfectly poetically stated.

ICE is allegedly hunting for Hmong people in Minneapolis and as I watched video of the incident lo and behold @whstancil.bsky.social was on the scene

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Introducing his song “The Promised Land” during his unbilled set at the Light of DayWinterFest concert, Bruce Springsteen dedicated it to Renee Nicole Good & criticized ICE’s “Gestapo tactics. The Boss’ #CupOfJoe is patriotism at its finest.

Our president is our national humiliation.

“Expanding candidate standing while continuing to restrict legislative standing appears to be yet another data point for the current Court’s inclination to limit legislative power especially when it’s being invoked in an attempt to rein in the executive branch.” open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

When ICE fires multiple chemical rounds directly at the head of a praying, priest, DOJ concludes it is completely justified. When protestors make noise during a sermon by a right-wing ICE pastor, DOJ announces a major investigation. It's not about immigration; it's about control.

Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped from Minneapolis. He was my neighbor and he died in an American concentration camp. He was not "illegal," he was a human being made in the image of the divine. May his memory be a blessing, and may the rest of us fight like hell until we stop this brutality.

14 US states have abortion bans, leading to a rise in maternal and infant mortality. Global experience shows that criminalizing abortion doesn't increase birth rates - it risks women’s health and lives, making it harder to obtain legal medical care and forcing them into clandestine abortions.

Bruce Springsteen: “ICE should get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

recorded this last week

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

“I am a U.S. citizen, I'm a veteran. For once in my life, I'm thinking I'm back in Afghanistan. This is not a combat zone, this is America—this is not the America I fought for.” When a veteran’s PTSD is triggered by their fellow countrymen, nothing else needs to be said.

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.

Nasra Ahmed, 23, was walking through the parking lot of her aunt’s St. Paul apartment complex when she found herself surrounded by 12 agents. Ahmed, born in the USA, says she showed them her I.D. She was forcefully detained and jailed anyway for more than 2 days. www.twincities.com/2026/01/18/s...

Nothing threatens authoritarian regimes more than act of nonviolent protest — people standing together, choosing empathy and courage, and refusing to be afraid.

The president's threat to impose tariffs on countries that oppose his desire to acquire Greenland shows that he does not see tariffs as an economic tool to help America, but as a weapon to hurt his enemies. That's the fundamental nature of his entire presidency.

KNOW THE DIFFERENCE: Minnesota National Guard under Gov Walz's command will not be wearing facemasks and will have reflective vests on. This will distinguish them from the people cosplaying for ICE/CBP/DHS.

Brief operational term of art 🧵 to help better define what we're experiencing. What we're experiencing is state terror. I've seen a lot of terms thrown around for what the Trump admin is doing w/ICE, CBP, & other federal law enforcement (LE). The now largely out of use term is state terror. 1/

We are America. How could you possibly target Native Americans - with ICE Officers - and then imprison us? That is impossible. It's legally impossible to do that. - Chase Iron Eyes

"License plate readers and personal data from car registrations are only supposed to be accessed for an active criminal investigation... “Following or observing or reporting on federal agencies is not a criminal activity — it's protected 1st Amendment activity...” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

"People hear 'National Guard' and imagine a governor snapping their fingers and putting a big, armed STOP sign in front of federal agents. That’s not how this works. They get hit with federal supremacy and obstruction claims." The President can federalize Guard units and take control.

"Neighbors in neon vests dot the neighborhood... Information-sharing networks have been built. Residents have connected with non-profits and churches to deliver food to people who are locked in their homes out of fear. Resistance signs are everywhere..." www.liberalcurrents.com/so-hows-the-...

Gov. Tim Walz has mobilized the Minnesota National Guard to support public safety efforts, including assisting the Minnesota State Patrol, following a fatal shooting involving federal ICE agents in Minneapolis on Jan. 7, 2026. 🔄 mn.gov/governor/new...

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee. In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

The United States doesn’t have an attorney general. Instead it has a fascist enforcer named Pam Bondi who takes orders from a convicted felon in the White House.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Every incident of assault, abuse and murder these ICE thugs perpetrate is the result of the elected republicans at the state level and in D.C. The elected republicans know who Trump is, they know what heritage foundation stands for and are not only enabling they are helping them do it.

'CNN’s Scott Jennings Says ICE Deserves a ‘Ticker-Tape Parade’ to Celebrate Its ‘99.9997% Success Rate’ I will keep repeating this as a warning: Trumpers like Scott Jennings would defend Trump if he killed your family for no reason. This is how awful they are www.mediaite.com/media/tv/cnn...

"Historic" Fort Snelling. Know what it was historically known for? As a concentration camp for First Nations people's in 1862. Know what it's known for currently? As a concentration camp for First Nations people's in 2026. #SheShed #FuckICE

This firsthand account is chilling. ICE agents feel empowered, to hunt for HUMANS that allow them to collect significant financial incentives, & performance bonuses.They are desensitized to the trauma & personal circumstances of the real people they are capturing. Take a listen.👇🏼 #iceoutnow #pinks

SCOOP from Douglas Macmillan Medical examiner believes death of man in ICE custody was homicide, recording says www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

A group of Senators met with the Foreign Minsters of Denmark and Greenland and it was so maddening. People in our country are losing their health care, facing price hikes on everything - and Trump is prepping an invasion of Greenland. Here's what I learned in the meeting.

I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. I can't sneeze or cough bc it's dangerous to. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

Here's more, with details. Share widely, streams got taken down, make sure they cant put the genie back in the bottle or go after a handful of people. bsky.app/profile/adap...

A year into Trump’s second term and the nation is visibly destabilized. Internal divisions have hardened into open conflict, state and federal authorities are at odds, and our allies are quietly preparing to defend themselves from us.

The latest expression of Trump's aggressive racism is his suspending of visa processing indefinitely from 75 countries from January 21. This list is worth studying carefully. It is truly atrocious. /1 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The Russian intelligence services intervene aggressively to attack a website that leaked the names of new ICE hires, proving that Kristi Noem was aggressively recruiting and deploying Jan 6 rioters, including the head of the Proud Boys, a violent white supremacist group.

Yes indeed. Pretty much everyone would know it's not us. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Europe having to perform military exercises against their primary threat, the United States.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person. Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured. BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

To those with big platforms: Continue to speak out!

There is growing public alarm and anger at a federal government that has overstepped the boundaries of the law and the moral standards of its citizens. States and Congress can push back. bit.ly/3LtXVgE

It used to be that victims of murders in the U.S. would be smeared by InfoWars and Gateway Pundit as a way to fetishize guns and violence for ad dollars and supplement sales, with the added benefit of cozying up to far-right politicians. Now that work is done by CBS News.

TJ Sabula, my constituent & a UAW worker, has been suspended after Trump flipped HIM off and said "F*ck you" to him. This is unacceptable. NEVER believe MAGA when they cry about the 1st amendment. Since Trump can't fire me, I'll say it: Donald Trump is a pedophile protector.

Mental health deterioration under Trump? Relatable. (This is, of course, horrific.)

Danish Foreign Minster Lars Løkke Rasmussen speaks after WH meeting: "For us, ideas that would not respect the territorial of the Kingdom of Denmark and the right of self-determination of the Greenlandic people are of course totally unacceptable. We therefore still have a fundamental disagreement."
