Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness. - Anne Frank As long as a candle burns it declares that darkness has not won. From 7:00 pm until 11:00 pm we burned our candles in community with our friends and neighbors here in Minnesota.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Will you join us here in Minnesota and light a candle this evening for Alex and for our community?

SAY HIS NAME

"Boo hoo," one agent said after he and a gang of colleagues murdered 37-year-old Alex Pretti, who died trying to help a woman who was being assaulted. A sobering piece from @lebassett.bsky.social www.laura-bassett.com/p/ice-execut...

Another witness video from today’s murder here in Minneapolis. Please share so the rest pf the country sees what is REALLY HAPPENING here. www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

Another 🧊 murder in Minnesota just minutes ago. www.reddit.com/r/Minneapoli...

We made history today. 📸 Great photo from the Star Tribune

More photos from Minneapolis today. My cousin stood out there for hours, in severe cold temperatures, to protest ICE being here and to support our immigrant community. I’m sad I couldn’t be with her due to the cold and my motherly duties; but she represented us both. #InSoliderity 1/2

Happening now… immigrants feeding the people in Minneapolis. The feels like temperature in Minneapolis is -25° and they are out feeding the people who are out there marching for them. Our immigrants here in Minnesota are our backbone. They work hard and they love hard. It’s about community. #sambusa

We are not safe in Trump’s America. Not women, not children, not our BIPOC brothers and sisters… unless you are a Trump devout, do not believe that you are safe.

No work. No school. No shopping. Today we strike.

Pictures from the ICE OUT Strike march in Minneapolis happening now. Photos courtesy of my cousin, whom is there representing us both. I couldn’t go, I’m home with my daughter (no school due to cold). #InSolidarity

This! Nekima Levy Armstrong was wrongfully arrested and the photos the White House wants you to see are altered. Nekima held her head high, with power. She’s an amazing woman, civil rights lawyer, and community member here. #FreeNekima #FreeLiam

No matter how tough Minnesotans are, this weather should be taken seriously. Make a plan to stay safe and check out the link below for a list of warming centers in Minnesota where folks can find shelter from the cold. www.fox9.com/news/minneso...

It’s ICE OUT Day here in Minnesota. It’s also -38° currently (with windchill). In support of our community, I am not working. There in no school. And I won’t shop. I do want to join the march and/or rally downtown today. Safety is key in these days extreme temperatures. 🥶

Love how CNN left the Jack Smith testimony for Vance in my city lying through his rotten teeth. #Distraction at its finest.

Children are OFF LIMITS!

The people here in Minnesota have been saying this for weeks! God forbid people believe us.

Canada? Please? Signed, A desperate Minnesotan

We all want to get violent criminals off our streets, and the State of Minnesota has never wavered in doing so. The federal government’s propaganda machine is taking credit for work that happened long before thousands of untrained agents showed up to put on a show for Trump.

ICE is a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanish in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer means anything. The knock on the door is the sentence.

Politics aside, I cannot understand why people here in Minnesota, let alone the Twin Cities, still support DJT. People I know. Family members. How deep do they bury their heads in the sand? Or are they just racist bigots whose privilege allows them immunity? I’m going with the latter.

Bovino makes me want to 🤮. He needs to get the hell out of my state. He can take his nazis with him.

Men who defend Jonathan Ross for murdering Renee Good are not safe to be around. End those relationships.

Oh he’s here… marching in spirit.

Hey world, somebody save us. Please.

As a Minnesotan, on this eve of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, this quote of his resonates with me most.

Hey America… wake up! It’s not just the criminals they’re taking. We’re all fair game.

And some are simply closed until further notice. It’s heartbreaking. 💔 Support your local immigrant families and businesses.

We are Minnesota strong.

This should be MUCH bigger news!

R.T. Rybak: “Lang was led to safety by… a black man” “Lang saw that black man as less than him. The black man saw Lang as a human being.” “Napoleon had Waterloo. You have Minnesota”

Hey world, want to know what it’s like living in Minnesota? ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Nothing about this is normal. Nothing about this is OK. Get ICE the f*ck out of our state!!!

It’s been quite a tough week here in Minnesota. Tonight my 13 year old daughter asked if we could lay down and watch/fall asleep to a movie together. My mama heart was so full. Her movie choice? The Conjuring. She fell asleep so peacefully about halfway through it.

Stabbed?! Ha! I didn’t realize silly string or water balloons were so sharp!

So many people I know both here in Minnesota and in other parts of the US who think that this is OK. They say we are overreacting. Wake up people! Wake the f*ck up!

Screenshot from a livestream today when Jake Lang was cornered into a window well. Best part is that the black man was actually trying to help Jake, a self proclaimed white nationalist. Because that is who we are here in Minnesota. We are GOOD people.

This is how we do it, folks. I love my community!

Fact. We have families in our school district who are in hiding and not going out of their homes.
