Again this feels like a story that a movie studio would say was too crazy to be believable...

I guess that it was too cold to drive.

Minneapolis neighbors were at their best in a Nextdoor thread by a US Citizen who's scared to leave her home due to ICE. Local racists say that one out. Still, my response that received only positive feedback was flagged by local racists. Granted, it's better than they're targeting me.

ICE is not prepared to deal with Minneapolis parents who've been hardened by COVID and a long strike. parentpatrol.bandcamp.com/track/if-you...

We are going to win.

ICE took someone in Waite Park today while they were delivering food to their family. ICE violently smashed their car on a residential street and then started pointing guns at children in the neighborhood.

huh www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

Another vehicle opened. Back was full of license plates, gear, various fed patches.

A line that seems to slow down the bigots is to ask, "How do you benefit from taxpayer money being spent to abduct taxpaying employees from their jobs?"

Unarmed woman executed by state may have been on committee to fight against unarmed women being executed by the state

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.

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.

One of my favorite restaurants in the Twin Cities. Genuinely fantastic food.

This is gruesome. That man is unconscious, needs medical attention, as they carry him off.

Impressive pivot from incorrectly criticizing Dems to not caring about vets to telling vets to suck it up.

FYI for folks: FOP isn’t the union for Minneapolis PD. They aren’t even the primary org that lobbies on behalf of cops in MN. That’s the MPPOA, which Minneapolis also isn’t a part of (or wasn’t, back in the day) The union that represents most cops in MN is LELS.

“We’ll Have Our Home” again is a song that’s extremely popular with white nationalists. It’s all over Telegram. I think the first time I heard it was from a video of a secretive group called the Mannerbünd.

I'm told about 15-20 arrests were made tonight in Downtown Minneapolis. The presence was strong from state officers, I didn't see much from the Minneapolis police, who mostly stayed a block away. The Minneapolis police has had a visible presence at the memorial on Portland Ave.

Minneapolis City Council President is on ICE patrol.

Hello Tim Cook I worked at Tumblr when you gave us 48 hours to get rid of all the consenting, adult boobs. Up all night at your whim, out of the blue. But you're still cool with Twitter and its CSAM and revenge porn and whatever the fuck this is? Why do you even HAVE guidelines?

A Minneapolis pastor of an MCC church — a denomination rooted in LGBTQ equality — recounts being detained by ICE. Says an ICE officer walked up to him as he was chanting “we are not afraid.” The agent, he says, raised his gun and said “are you afraid now?” m.youtube.com/watch?v=lcSO...

At this very moment, men on their 9th beer since noon are slurring into Google, "How to pass the ICE fitness test".

This is incredible chutzpah when anyone with eyes can look at the video and see that not a word of this is remotely true.

As someone who has been detained at the Whipple building, they don’t process you for hours. My name never showed up in any system. It wasn’t until I asked for a phone call and called my husband to tell him where I was did anyone even know. They should immediately ask for an attorney.

CMs Vetaw and Rainville welcome our oppressors with open arms, apparently

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.” So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

Reminder, Minnesota's Earned Sick and Safe Time provides paid time off if your child's school is closed for public emergency www.dli.mn.gov/sick-leave

It’s absolutely the right call and fucking surreal that our public schools have to close because of the threat posed by OUR OWN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. I am beyond livid.

MPR playing an eye witness account right now of ICE shooting directly through the windshield at her face and not giving her medical care for 10 minutes.

Got paid AND his job back, lmao. Keep fighting these dweebs

When will we learn our lesson?? Our continued dependency on fossil fuel will not only kill people in the long term, it creates geopolitical instability and kills people in the short term. All to satisfy the greed of the broligarchy. We have the capability to move to carbon free sources.

AP Style: pregnant people; people seeking abortions MN Health Department: Pregnant people, individuals seeking abortions Planned Parenthood: pregnant people; patients seeking abortions Jeremy Olson, Strib health reporter: WOMEN! Women seeking abortions, women receiving abortions

Time to get one of those Hilton Rewards cards I guess!

latrisha vetaw arrives to the inauguration in a cybertruck

That's exactly the playbook they ran with trans people. Getting fans folks fired from jobs, doxing, harassment, death threats etc. There's an entire cottage industry of right wing influencers who do this for clout and money.

We need some sort of whistle-adjacent action for situations like this. Something to tell the neighborhood to come running, not because there's an immediate danger, but because laughing at fascist dipshits is a communal activity.

The previous park board rep on the Minneapolis Planning Commission continues to spam Ward 12 residents with emails two months after losing that race.

Happy New Year! Big news: the Minnesota Paid Leave Law is now officially in effect✅ This photo was from May 2023, when Speaker Melissa Hortman proudly signed the enrollment for the paid family and medical leave bill on its way to the Governor's desk. #mnleg

“Part-owner Umi Hassan said she lived here right after 9/11 and didn’t feel as marginalized and fearful as she does today. She’s unable to sleep at night and carries her passport everywhere. Tears running down her face, she asked, “What else can I do to be an American?””

Wait, so........ you're saying that.... "helping"... helps? Sorry, I'm from Minneapolis, so you have to understand what a wild concept this is to me, because we've mainly used bulldozers. Does... does the mayor know? Has anyone told him about this [checks notes, squints] Saint... Paul, was it?

Incredibly, not one of these milestones scores as a “win” using the traffic engineering metrics that quietly dictate city planning. Urban planning prof Jonathan Levine and I have one paper detailing why and another explaining why it has to change for any vision of abundance to succeed. Links below.

Minnesota businesses can apply *right now* for a grant to purchase e-bikes for commercial use through the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency's (MPCA) Small Business Environmental Assistance Program! More info: content.govdelivery.com/accounts/MPL...

All of the money that changed hands in the Teapot Dome scandal totaled less than $10 million after adjusting for inflation, and it was considered so corrupt we still teach it in high school government classes a century later.

RFK Jr is directly responsible for the deaths of 83 children in American Samoa from measles because he told them to stop vaccinating. Now, he's trying to kill trans kids. He's a fucking psychopath.

Call me a nerd, but yesterday, a federal judge in Pennsylvania cited my reporting in a ruling against the DOJ in a case challenging Trump-era actions targeting transgender people. A reminder that this work really does matter.

Merrick Garland hid this from us for 4 YEARS, and allowed this disgusting monster to be reelected

A Christmas miracle. Someone took time to learn about what the federal government is doing.
