As the Bluesky continues to grow, I feel like I need to re-establish my disclaimers from the Old Place: I primarily use social media to learn more about my faith. Lots of people who haven't met me IRL know me from my public sector job, which has a social media policy against putting my work

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

CNN said there's unrest in Minneapolis and there's just not. There's very orderly, organized determination. This is not 2020.

Exactly -- our neighborhood has a pedestrian bridge over the highway into downtown, where we had our own mini demonstration. Lots of supportive honking.

It’s real that struggling businesses are taking the hit today for expressing solidarity with the victims of ICE slavecatchers. So for those with means, I declare the weekend Spent That Shit Saturday and Sunday at their shops and eateries to provide them some instant payback.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

This was the 26th dedicated ICE air deportation flight to operate out of Minneapolis-St. Paul International since January 1, 2026. We estimate they've deported 1,830 people on these flights - just over 100 per day, on average, so far this month.

I'm convinced that the administration assumed that, while they wouldn't have broad support, most white citizens would be too intimidated to act outside their self-insert, and now they're genuinely confused and terrified by the backlash they're receiving.

Very curious what the long-term ripple effects of this ICE occupation will be. Many very privileged people have stepped up to prevent their own government from disappearing their non-white neighbors and have now confronted inequalities and social problems they never would have experienced firsthand.

Miller’s miscalculation - the logic of a privileged and sheltered brat - is that violence would pull white folks away from black and brown folks, when in fact it’s done the opposite. And now America’s other cities also know how to face him.

Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

it’s just impossible to imagine sometimes how we ever build back trust in some of these basic foundational things, like the idea that the DOJ’s client is the people and they’re not Donald Trump’s personal revenge lawyers

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.
