Minneapolis estimates 76,200 residents are now experiencing food insecurity because of the federal immigration operation. The city also estimates a negative economic impact of at least $203 million.

Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."? Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

A Nobel Peace Prize nomination for Minneapolis is really a recognition of people power and it’s the first time a whole city has been put forward for the prize.

Look what my sister just made me. So thankful that Liam has been released for now, but it may still just be temporary and many more people are still being taken every day. Keep standing up! #iceoutmn

Ilhan Omar: “He was saved by security”

The movement now has its own “Ohio” thanks to Bruce Springsteen‘s “Streets of Minneapolis”: youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w?...

It’s easy to forget since he’s still a high public official but Homan straight up took $50,000 in cash from undercover agents on camera and then nothing happened

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Holy moly this chart: Cumulative US measles cases

While Gregory Bovino and the two CBP officers who shot and killed Alex Pretti have been pulled out of Minnesota, that is not justice. All three were immediately sent back out on the street in another American city to terrorize, and possibly even murder, more Americans. Congress needs to act!

Can't believe this was 40 years ago today. Where were you when the Challenger blew up? www.npr.org/2026/01/25/g... #genX

Ice luminaries on Lake Nokomis, which is on a flight path from MSP airport. #ICEout

Kash Patel this Sunday: “You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines, to any sort of protest that you want."

👀 Judge Schlitz, the chief federal judge in Minnesota, has ordered the head of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appeal personally in court Friday and threatened him with contempt for the agency’s repeated violation of court orders. “The court’s patience is at an end.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

-9 feels like sunny and 75 when you are united with your city in support of your neighbors! It was good to show up strong with you today, neighbors. We will not be silenced. And together we will win. ICE OUT NOW!

The Trump administration has removed an exhibit on slavery at Independence National Historical Park in Philadelphia, calling it “corrosive ideology.”

Cannot see the end of it.

Gotta remind yourself not to cry when you see the kid's signs. It's negative -25°F and tears are dangerous. "LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" "ICE GIT OUT YA FUCKIN DUMBIES 😡"

Call to Action: This Friday, Minnesota is being called to stand together in real, visible solidarity. Labor unions, faith leaders, and community organizers are urging people across the state to plan ahead and take part in a Minnesota Economic Blackout do not work, do not attend school, and do not

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

Under Trump's watch, a DHS agent shot a protestor in the face with a non-lethal round at close range, fractured his skull, and then dragged him around as he choked and bled. He is now permanently blind in his left eye.

Roughly 80% of immigrant-owned businesses along key corridors in Minneapolis and St. Paul have closed in the past week as employees and customers stay home in fear of ICE agents detaining them.

A Minneapolis man who was arrested by federal agents Monday in south Minneapolis said he was released from custody at the Whipple Federal Building late Monday without a coat or phone.

This is appalling: Top DOJ officials are actively pushing for a criminal investigation into the widow of Renee Good, leading prosecutors to quit en masse, NYT is reporting. Who in the White House ordered DOJ to do this? That's the next thing to establish.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

PSA: it’s going to be warm enough to chop ice (like actual literal ice) for another hour or two before the temperatures go below freezing and stay there. If you still have ice on your sidewalks or walkways, do your neighborhood pedestrians a solid and clear the way while you still can!

If 3,000 federal agents land in Minnesota, their footprint will be bigger than the 10 largest metro police departments combined.

MAGA: If you want to know what the rest of the world thinks of Donald Trump, here you go. They think he's an idiot and a buffoon. Because that's what he is. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I worked at Planned Parenthood. They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.   Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

Best cat video of the day

Trans Day of Visibility should be a day of joy, but it feels somber this year. The onslaught of attacks against trans folks seems endless, so I just want to say this: Trans people deserve respect, freedom, and autonomy. They deserve to live their lives as their true selves without fear.
