It is courage, but it’s ordinary courage. What Minneapolis is doing can happen anywhere. The alternative—ignoring the thousands of masked men with machine guns kidnapping and killing in broad daylight—is simply impossible.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

“I can’t imagine being like, here’s this random person that said they’ll give you a ride to school & feeling more comfortable sending my child out in that car than me being able to take them… I can’t even begin to imagine what those families are feeling.”

Two community members stand on the street corner of Central Ave and 18th St, watching over a local business in 5° temps with a wind chill of -15°. They are patrolling the area, keeping an eye out for ICE activity, doing what they can to protect their immigrant neighbors.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

this is what the nail girlies are up to

reading interviews of rural minnesotans and reading gun forums made me very sad about all these boomers getting their info from fox news. then i saw what the nail girlies are up to and what's going on in roblox and lol ok yeah people really fucking hate ICE

We started the BritBox series Blue Lights months ago but fell off in the fist Ep because it seemed meh. But we have returned and omg it’s SO GOOD. Like The Wire, but in Northern Ireland.

ICE agents when a guy in a bathrobe standing out in -20 weather tells them to each shit

Went upstairs for a minute, came back downstairs into the dining room to this. 😂 It’s not for no reason we call Junie our little mountain goat 🐐. This is a high top table. Granted there are tiny-dog steps on one side for Molly to get to her co-pilot seat next to where I usually sit/work.

if someone punches your neighbor and you go to protect them, that does not make you a protester. that makes you someone who protects your neighbor.

one of the single worst elements of Soviet repression were the silent disappearances overnight; at least in Minneapolis, when fedl agents are doing their kidnapping, the whole street is aware and trying to help

2026 is seeing that the U.S. Army is mobilizing a unit specialized for winter conditions, but not knowing if the intended mission is violent repression of an American city or stealing territory from a U.S. treaty ally.

The story in Minnesota is not about “clashes” or protests. What is happening here is the clearest example in my life of the government violating every basic principle America is supposedly founded upon. It is lawless, unconstitutional, and un-American.

Good news fam down 6 lbs since occupation started. Want to lose weight? Have you considered living under a federal occupation with armed masked goons with no identification kidnapping people for being brown and as a result being so stressed out that you can't eat? Well I have a diet plan for you.

Instead of giving your money to Simon Rosenberg's vague plea to fund the DFL for vague reasons, please give to shelter our unsheltered Indigenous relatives TODAY during this very cold cold snap.

ICE is all over my area today, rural and semirural Minnesota. This did not happen in the Cities, and yes I am fucking reporting it. And yes I am going back out again when healed, because fuck these anti-American cowardly shit eaters.

Since whistles are the hot new fashion accessory of the season, can I put in a good word to the 3D printers on behalf of the pastel goths? We have a lot of darks and brights. We don’t have a lot of pastels

Average Sunday show interview: OFFICIAL: we are going to dip enemies of the state into acid vats HOST: how will you pay for it? OFFICIAL: tariffs HOST: critics say tariffs don't generate acid vat money OFFICIAL: tariffs have generated more money than has ever existed HOST: thank u for ur time

Some of the finished snow sculptures from the World Snow Sculpting Championship held in Stillwater! One of the many things that makes Minnesota so special.

This is one of the stories we know about, there are now hundreds (thousands?) of these stories that we don't have documentation/video about and people just disappeared and never released.

Please don't repost the bathtub viking being chased by ICE ffs it's fucking AI

Calling them “protests” is lazy, inaccurate and plays into the false narrative that’s being used to justify further escalation by the federal government. 3/3

The vast majority of what’s happening is communal self-defense. It’s not an about agitating or escalating. The whistles, the honking, the yelling — these are efforts by people to warn and protect their neighbors. 2/3

National media: Please stop describing what’s happening in Minneapolis as “protests.” There has been a modest, sustained protest outside the Whipple federal building, about 10 miles from downtown, but... 1/3

More people should know about the day 90% of Icelandic women went on strike, forcing real political change towards gender equality: www.bbc.com/news/magazin...

are foreign countries unable to drop special forces into maralago and “arrest” the president on drug and gun charges in their own country? please?

Other countries are sending their foreign war correspondents to cover ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis. The Department of Defence has put the US Army on alert for possible deployment to the city. This was never about immigration. They’re turning it into a war zone.

So, like, if we get attacked by paratroopers, I really hope the rest of you know we tried our best. And I hope you impeach the motherfuckers who thought it was okay to even consider this. In a just world even the consideration of an attack your own people should be grounds for impeachment.

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

This is the attitude Minnesotans are giving ICE: I’m not stuck in here with you. YOU’RE stuck in here with ME

i gotta say watching a nazi influencer get his shit rocked in minneapolis has been great for morale today

Forced face scanning of a U.S. citizen with zero cause, just bald racial profiling. This is tech fascism.

We had more people for our first DJ bike ride in 2022 than are attending this protest. Absolute buffoonery.

Hey national journalists who are following Jake around: get more interesting news than "what one Nazi thinks," come to the Art Sled rally!

Seen in Minneapolis this morning

More people watching soccer at the queer soccer bar this morning than these losers

FROZEN PICKLE YELLS AT ICE

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

Good night. 🌟 Allow hope to settle into your spirit as the sky darkens. 💫 #HopeSettles #EveningLight #CalmSpirit

With arms linked and snow falling, Minneapolis ICE protesters dance as ICE agents retreat back. "Nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye!" WATCH ⬇️

In the need of some spicy adult products? Want to support folks in Minneapolis? Buy them from our super ethical, trans-owned Smitten Kitten. They’ve not only become a hub for mutual aid and community ICE watch, they’ve basically turn their socials into a local news source.

I have never met Patti Smith but did sit down in a NY breakfast place and told I could remain there if I liked but if Smith came in and I was there, she would kick my ass. By accident I had taken her usual spot. I moved immediately.

I regret that I have but two middle fingers to give my country

Yesterday, these incompetent fucks were just going door-to-door in a neighborhood near my house at 8:30 in the morning. School buses were driving through trying to pick up kids, people were out walking their dogs, and people were taking out their trash cans.

i wrote about laughing at ICE and that one margaret atwood quote about men being afraid of women laughing at them www.patreon.com/posts/148398...

“The agents took Ms. Tincher to the Whipple Federal Building, where they removed her clothes and cut off her wedding ring before shackling her.” (Tincher Decl. ¶¶ 11–16;Rollins Decl. ¶ 15.)
