I think there's a point where you are so angry that you run out of mental space for fear, and I think a lot of Minneapolis and St. Paul were there, today.

I wish I could hug all of Minneapolis right now. I love you and I hate ICE.

I student taught here. This is a SCHOOL.

I’m not a fan of the mayor and I think he did a good job here.

drink water. eat something.

People in Minneapolis love their neighbor.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

Staying calm doesn’t mean stay complacent. Reject anyone who thinks or says it does. Staying calm gives you the space to be strategic.

Please remember that they always lie. Always.

I am home with sick kids, but the signal chats are going bananas. Daycares, homes, businesses. There are hundreds and hundreds of Minneapolitans trying to help, and it is horrifying how overwhelming this is. Call your electeds. We cannot let ICE keep on like this. We cannot. I am sad and mad.

Important context for outsiders - it was raining on top of slushy streets yesterday and the roads froze overnight. The car was probably stuck and/or sliding because of the frozen street when they decided to murder this driver.

If you are not in Minneapolis, It is important that you spread the word how bad it is. Everywhere in the city is seeing ICE. They are speeding, kicking in doors, taking people at bus stops. Yell at your electeds. They are taking daycare workers. Parents dropping kids off at school.

Minneapolis Council Member Robin Wonsley and other local officials are on scene where witnesses say ICE shot an observer, the officials say theyre trying to get MPD to get ICE out of the scene. Chief Brian O'Hara is present.

How evil do you have to be to threaten a physician trying to care for someone holy shit

Dear MN elected officials, Fascist goons are terrorizing and killing us *right now*. Please make this your top priority. Your job is to protect us.

Regardless of who you are or what agency you work for, if you shoot or kill people in Minneapolis you need to be arrested immediately and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Full stop.

It is not an exaggeration to say that DHS has invaded Minneapolis. Absolutely terrorizing our communities and hurting people.

Seriously. Where is our “strong” mayor @mayorfrey.com ?!?! Are you doing ANYTHING to help us as Ice agents attack Minneapolis residents?! ANYTHING?!?!

Another function of fighting the fascists is sharing our lived experience with normies out state and around the country. They are watching, they are listening. I’ve gotten normies to contribute money to a school fundraiser. An “inner city “ school! Filled with immigrant kids, before all this.

Is our strong mayor on vacation? Sure feels like if I were the elected leader of a city under federal attack, I’d try to at least make sure people knew I was here.

$390 raised already!. C’mon… you know you want to flip people off with handknit mittens.

Minneapolis, I love you. Never perfect, but I am so proud of all the ways we’re showing up for each other.

Hey knitters! I’m making a sweater. Top down. All stockinette. I’m about 2 inches below the arm divide. It’s too big. Can I just… decrease a bit or will it look ridiculous?

I imagine a lot of folks here want to get connected to work in their area but aren’t sure how to get started. This is a great place to start. There is a role for everyone—feel free to DM me any time if you want help figuring out where to put your efforts.

Saw the Kristi Noem convoy of SUVs and armoured vehicle this morning on 35e southbound. Must have been like 40 Chevy Tahoes with flashing lights. Talk about waste and abuse of our tax dollars. Cosplaying that our sleepy city is a warzone is so lame.

I just remembered that Noem killed a dog. What a horrible person. There's lots of slippery sidewalks out there, I hope she falls.

We hit $300! Can we get to $500? You know you want these mittens!!! Donate to any of these (or suggest another) and send me a picture of the receipt! These mittens could be yours! ilcm.org miracmn.com defend612.com

If I was Uber, I would be suing the shit out of ICE over this.

I'm also going to contact my city council member over this. Minneapolis! Find your council member and their information here. Fake uber stickers seems like a crime that we, as a city could be prosecuting. www.minneapolismn.gov/government/c...

Uber does not seem to have any way to report this. @mprnews.org @sahanjournal.bsky.social @pioneerpress.bsky.social @startribune.com this feels like an extremely newsworthy story.

Know what is a goddamn joy? Seeing former students all grown up and fighting fascism. Standing with their communities to keep each other well. I LOVE my students.

Ice sucks! Help me raise money for good things. 1. Donate to an immigrant rights org like www.ilcm.org 2. Send me a picture of the receipt. Every $5 is an entry. I knit these mittens and I will draw a name on 1/17/26 and send these to the winner. We’ve already raised $165! Can we make it to $300?

Our strong mayor, Jacob Frey, is seemingly absent while ICE agents attack DAYCARES. His phone number is 612-673-2100. He will say he’s done what he can, but I am completely not okay with a passive response. I need creativity. Active fighting back. Please join me in calling him to make that clear.

Does this make Hilton the center of the resistance? No. Is it good? HELL YES. There is no single thing that will work. But hundreds and hundreds of different things WILL work. We need to push back in ALL the ways. Minneapolis incessantly calling hotels about ICE is one thing that’s working.

ICE is furious because the Hilton cancelled their reservation because of ICE’s immigration enforcement activities.

I hear @governorwalz.mn.gov has more time now for Minnesota. Fighting this feels like a great way to use it.

I will enthusiastically campaign and vote for the gubernatorial candidate that finds ways to drive 🥶 out of the state. I’ll take days off work to do it if they do it in a way that other states can copy.

All the calls, all the protests are working. No rooms for kidnappers!

Please don’t let it be her.

Good morning to everyone except for ice agents. May they slip and fall. May they trip on legos. May they lose their keys and gloves. May they be unmasked and shunned by their families. May our communities be safe from these jerks.

I love love love Minneapolis.

Dear Every single person involved in rapid response in Minneapolis, On behalf of ppl caring for young kids who cannot commute: I love you. I love us. I love how we’re are trying so hard to protect our neighbors. Thank you, thank you. ❤️

If some other country killed 40 US civilians in order to kidnap someone, we would be, rightly, furious. Not hearing nearly enough about the murder of civilians. I am so sad and sorry for them and their loved ones.

Everything suck.s, but we’ve already raised $165 for a things that matter. Systems suck. Most leaders suck. People are freaking GREAT.

At some point (*soon*), we have to release ourselves of our need to refer to these actions as illegal. Legality has never curtailed authoritarianism. Unethical. Inhumane. Death dealing. We have so many more words to help with this.

Always punch up, y’all.

I don’t love you and I’m not holding your hand: call your Senator and tell them that the must shut down the government on January 30th until this ends, a thing that Democrats have the hard power to do at this very moment.

I know that every empire falls. But can we, like, make it go a little faster maybe?

Information gathering is good. Doom scrolling and panic spreading is not. Get the info you need, make a plan of action for yourself, and then go enact it. Try to not get sucked into doomerism and fear mongering. Even now, even today, even this morning there are good things you can and should do.

This is a good idea.
