Brandi is great and her show and I’m loving all your posts and also I spent all my money on NIN in Milwaukee tomorrow

Just waiting for someone to call down their boyfriend for a kiss.

Appreciation post for Laila Edwards and all the shit I’m sure she went through to get to this level of hockey

Sooooooo good

And who are they paying those billions of dollars *to*?

The crimes committed by ICE and CBP aren't accidents or outliers. They're the point. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

The effects of trauma also don’t just disappear.

Don’t mess with the peoples lawyer

Don’t back down. Abolish ICE.

I’ll believe it when it happens Fuck ICE

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

Minnesota still needs your attention

If all hotels stopped housing these goons, most of them would probably leave. Just saying.

Great description of my second favorite halftime show (obviously Prince will always be number one)

I tell you what, Ring figured out exactly how to weaponize white people’s empathy in service to a corporately controlled surveillance state. Tell them it will find your dog.

Don’t know who needs to hear this but one of the puppies on the Puppy Bowl this year is named Chappell Bone

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

A man taken into custody in Rochester Thursday by federal immigration agents and now held at the Whipple Federal Building in the Twin Cities is a recent organ transplant recipient who is without his needed anti-rejection medication, state Rep. Kim Hicks tells MPR News.

If you are outside of Minnesota, please continue to pay attention. Our communities are still under siege despite the press conferences.

My friend lives in this building and said it was truly terrifying. The whole building woke up to their building being broken into by federal agents all to grab some guy who’s posted about being anti facist.

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol. An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

FLASH: Weeks after Trump Admin pushed for crackdown on "fraud in Minnesota", the four prosecutors spearheading the case have *all left their jobs* Wave of departures is growing inside Justice Dept office in Minneapolis www.cbsnews.com/news/minneso...

MN House republicans creating a graphic about “women’s sports day”using photos of women athletes *without their permission* is next level gross and misleading.

Remember that midnight raid in Chicago supposedly to arrest Tren del Aragua members? Newly revealed court docs show that the raid was facilitated by the building owners who are now accused of using the raid to evict tenants. DHS never mentions TDA in their filings: www.propublica.org/article/chic...

Caucus report from SD40 LOTS of people. 75+ just for our precinct. Needed overflow parking lot. AK won straw poll but also many uncommitted. No statewide candidate presence other than lit. Two anti ICE resolutions (mine to abolish, another against immigration enforcement at schools & bus stops)

It’s weird when you’re living through a thing you know is causing you and everyone you care about to probably be diagnosed with complex PTSD afterwards but you’re still enduring it.

ProPublica has identified Alex Pretti’s killers www.propublica.org/article/alex...

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate. Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards. With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43. Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

And also the gaslighty dissonance of walking through the world with some people who are so insulated (still!) that they are still pretty much just business as usual

If you need a break from reality, Sinners is back in theaters in IMAX

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

So anyhow, have they released the Epstein files yet?

statement from anika bowie, st. paul city council member, on the arrest of her husband jamael lundy this morning by federal agents for the protest at a church in st. paul led by an ICE agent. she calls his arrest “militarized and traumatic”

"The children’s mother called the school early Thursday to tell them she’d been detained and asked school leaders to bring the kids to her at the Whipple Federal Building ... because there were no family members ... to care for them. “We had to deliver them to a detention center,” Kuhlman said.

ICE is upset that ICE isn't welcome in restaurants after ICE ordered food at a restaurant, ate it, then arrested restaurant employees, and ICE believes this is someone else's fault, do I have that right?

Boy do I have good news for Homan about a very simple way for the “problem” to be gone…

Mainstream media is unwilling and/or unable to frame this accurately. Protecting our neighbors isn’t a euphemism. It’s literally neighbors in neighborhoods not wanting armed racist goons in our communities where our kids walk to school.

I almost forgot to post this photo of the perfect banh mi I had for lunch today. Please support local restaurant Mi-Sant!

In case you are unaware: -it’s not illegal to have a group chat -it’s not illegal to film anyone in public (and it’s important, bc otherwise people just disappear) -it’s not illegal to tell people when you see masked officers -it’s not illegal to collect and distribute food ICE must leave MN.

Moment of clarity: I need to transition my small business to a non-profit and buy our own building so we have a space for all the amazing things we all now know we are absolutely capable of.

And every boots-in-the-snow patriot

The people, united, will never be defeated ❤️

I hope he got frostbite.

Mrs. Krabappel and Principal Skinner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me.

Me, just making coffee and talking to my neighbors.
