Our city should prioritize data-backed strategies to keep our communities safe and meet priority concerns like gun violence, domestic violence, and youth mental health rather than pour millions of dollars into an unnecessary building for a police department that did nothing to protect us from ICE.

This doesn’t happen in any other country. Why do we let it happen here?

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

These are not serious people.

🧵 This week the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) Chief, Brian O’Hara, and Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty both presented to the City Council on their responses to Operation Metro Surge.

Please take the time to do this! The useless mayor must be reminded that people want him to do the right thing for once.

AWOOOOOO! (We’re back, Mpls!)

This woman should run for city council. She’s done more for Ward 13 in the last 3 months than Palmisano has. Ever.

Every bomb is a war crime.

It’s so loud, measured at 38 decibels inside my bedroom. My husband’s loudest snore is 39 dB.

Cannot stress enough about how no one is getting paid for any of this, especially not targeted families trapped in their own home. The financial damage to the city should be part of the larger story, and will last long after out-of-state fundraising dries up.

I want THUNDER SNOW

Crying in the office today in solidarity with MN legislators, who are opening session without the leadership of Melissa Hortman. What a devastating loss for our state.

So far it looks like Trump, Noem, and operation metro surge drained Minneapolis alone—not yet counting St. Paul, Bloomington, etc.— $203 million. This was a MAGA Trump assault on an American blue city. Nothing more. Start seeing it. www.fox9.com/news/operati...

there was once so few mass shootings that the murder of only six people gets to be known forever as the st valentine’s day massacre now that’s just a saturday

I'm pretty proud of this poem I made out of the euphemisms that companies used to describe the ICE occupation in corporate communications. Also read the whole story: racketmn.com/corporate-co...

Justice for Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

While Tom Homan was trying to grab headlines this morning ICE was again circling our schools. They’ve been out all morning and no “drawdown” is enough until every single one of these agents is out of our state and DHS is abolished.

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

3800 kids taken into ICE custody in 2025 (as of mid-December; must be higher now), according to the Marshall Project. 1300 of them held longer than 20 days. Genuinely monstrous. The (tiny, scrappy, wonderful) group I was part of under Trump 1 formed specifically to fight family separation. Now the

Minnesota's Fortune 500 company workers are coming together around a message that ICE should leave Minnesota: stablemn.com/make-your-vo... Businesses ought to speak out to protect workers, their families, and their communities -- ICE's presence makes us unsafe and devastates our state economy.

We've heard from workers at Minnesota's largest companies who want to make it clear that ICE action in MN is causing fear and chaos for them and their customers. Further, as @northstarpolicy.org found, it's not good for business either! northstarpolicy.org/business-imp... 1/2

Two people dead, no accountability, and ICE still running amok. We demand transparency, accountability, and an end to ICE’s chaos and mayhem. 🧵

This is a feckless, delayed, and disappointing statement from Minnesota’s business leaders. ICE has been kidnapping and terrorizing their employees and local customers for 6+ weeks. Where’s the leadership?!

We are helping our neighbors. That's the story of what Twin Cities residents have been doing in the last few weeks. That's it. Full stop.

STOP USING MY TAX DOLLARS TO KILL MY NEIGHBORS. [retweet from 2020]

One thing that might get a little overlooked here is how important it is that DHS is massively exaggerating arrest totals (10k??). What people on the ground know is that immigration enforcement is barely occurring, and ICE/DHS are really conducting a terror campaign in the guise of enforcement.

50,000 Minnesotans marching downtown in subzero weather. Thousands more patrolling the streets, delivering groceries, and caring for families. Faith leaders getting arrested by the dozens in acts of civil disobedience. This is Minnesota. We stand together.

Well, it looks like I am only going to know rage for the rest of my life.

Welcome to Minneapolis. Our neighbors have witnessed too many war crimes at this point. Federal agents even left weapons on the ground.

Keep up the good work, Minneapolis. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Impossible to describe what a raw nerve the rapid response channels are when you’re NOT on patrol. ICE sighted everywhere, all over the neighborhood. Silence and then swarming. This is not an immigration agency, it is not a law-enforcement agency. It is a state-sponsored terror agency.

I stop to honor the Minnesota First’s great sacrifice for liberty every time I visit the capitol rotunda. We’re not giving this flag back. Ever.

The bus between my house and downtown has been less than half-full all week.

Regular Minnesotans are doing this because we’re good neighbors and decent people. Not “paid protesters.”

If you’re in the Twin Cities and want to do the most minimal thing to annoy ICE, drive the fucking speed limit. These goons get so angry when 20 is plenty.

NEW FACT SHEET: ICE enforcement is actively disrupting Minnesota’s economy. Read the full fact sheet here: northstarpolicy.org/business-imp...

📣 DID YOU KNOW? 🚁 Ongoing aerial surveillance and "crowd monitoring" by the MN State Patrol in coordination with the MPD is shared directly with federal forces, including DHS & ICE, with no local oversight. Here's what that means, and what we our state and local officials must do about it NOW.

It’s that time of day where every building in downtown Mpls is either blue or orange. We keep us safe.

The US government abducted a Kingfield daycare worker last night. For all us parents trying to explain ICE’s terror campaign to our littles, here’s a start.

Trying to explain what it feels like in the Twin Cities right now to people who aren’t here and haven’t experienced this is genuinely crazy-making.

Do you know how hard it is to get Minnesota politicians to swear in public? It's levels of anger beyond measurement (and, of course, entirely justified and appreciated)

Helicopters circling over southside like it’s 2020, but this city is smarter and stronger than we were. ❤️ Rest in power, Renee.
