Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social:

Mood in minneapolis right now

The whole interview is worth it

Oh not a bad idea!!!

I am the grandson of a man who came to the United States for intellectual freedom, the freedom to worship, and to ensure that his children could share in those freedoms and prosper - a country that welcomed the newcomer, and had the infrastructure to get them on their feet. 1/

Our initial analysis is up. The video footage appears to show that the gun was taken away from the man before he was shot. He was UNARMED before any of the shots were fired.

This is a city that just wants to fucking fly kites on a fucking lake

ICE executed someone in the street outside the donut shop but it has not slowed down their active raids on homes and businesses in neighborhoods all around the cities so please be vigilant.

There should be more murals of 70 year old guy grabbing a bottle of water and walking into the gas than there are of Bob Dylan in this town.

MPD and BCA need to make arrests now.

BREAKING: The Tribune confirmed on Instagram that the man shot has died, according to two sources with knowledge of the incident. ICE attempted to order local police from the scene, but Chief Brian O'Hara refused, sources also told the Tribune. O'Hara instructed his officers to preserve the scene.

Re Opus Development pulling out of an ICE deal to create a Shakopee concentration camp: am told this was due to broad pressure from electeds beyond hero @bradtabke.bsky.social, including Tina Smith, US Reps Kelly Morrison & Angie Craig, and the guv’s office. The ”corporate lane” got involved. 1/

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Chronic lack of juice

for loring park, lotus will be open from 12-4 to anyone seeking shelter and will be serving free pho

This something I want people to understand. If you don’t get their names, they’re just gone. There’s no arrest record and the snatch-and-grabs can last seconds. People simply disappear and we can’t find out who they are or what happened to them.

Thousands outside Terminal 1 at the Minneapolis airport now.

i don’t know why we’re still doing minnesota exceptionalism like this when jonathan ross was a local

Hell of a 🧵 🫡

This is a heap of shit so colossal my eyes are crossing. Volunteers are keeping watch over churches, mosques, and religious schools due to Bondi’s federal goon squad on a DAILY basis. Spare the preaching about houses of worship while temples burn and people fear going to church.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi tweeted out the arrests a few minutes ago promising "more to come."

A dad on patrol this morning is showing off his new egregiously expensive ice-fishing boots that he justified “because I’m standing out here all the time.” Dudes are going to continue rocking until morale improves

In case you needed to see something NOT terrible tonight, we millennials will get to relive Cool Runnings as grown-ups!

It’s bitterly cold and my neighborhood is under federal occupation by some of the worst thugs imaginable — but waking up to see that @hellocullen.bsky.social is the guest on @doughboys.bsky.social this week is the lab engineered distraction I need right now. Bless you.

Wasn’t expecting Clint Conner to be the one writing the Strib editorial calling for MPD to arrest ICE but here we are. Preach.

St Paul Parks and Rec really going through it

This is so fucking disgusting. I have reached a new level of fury. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

It is tough here right now in Minneapolis but Greg Bovino crying to the paper about how he’s getting his ass handed to him by plant sale moms has been a real pick me up

This is basically my floor at this point.

At 8 PM tonight another person was taken from Central Ave, with ICE leaving their cars hazardously all over endangering everyone just to kidnap a human being from our streets. Afterwards, we helped escort a family home. They only had to walk 2 blocks to get home but yet prayed before we went.

ICE took someone in Waite Park today while they were delivering food to their family. ICE violently smashed their car on a residential street and then started pointing guns at children in the neighborhood.

What he's describing is a violation of several Minnesota state laws! He should go out and do law enforcement!

“If you can have access to that food”

I think it's very fitting that the Revolutionary HQ of Minneapolis is a sex shop (that DOES NOT have a glory hole) and Revolutionary HQ of Saint Paul is a toy store where you can get Settlers of Catan.

People here are outside patrolling their neighborhoods in this, trying to keep their neighbors safe from lawless armed masked goons. Armed with whistles and vests, they are essentially fighting a war against their own government and its ethnic cleansing campaign.

Fucking bring it - we got baselayers, three peak tires, and RATM on repeat.

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

If a Minnesotan says to you, "I don't plan to let you do that," run.

Yes. Do you know how many families are being supported by their neighbors right now? Families afraid to leave home being fed by their neighborhoods; immigrant communities feeding the old hippies standing on their street corners with whistles in 10-degree snowstorms. They cannot break us

Because the media does not know how to frame what is happening, they keep referring to regular Minnesotans as protesters. But there is very explicit training that so many people done to learn how to be a constitutional observer. People are bearing witness to kidnappings, with phones and whistles.

NEW: Jonathan Ross, the ICE thug who murdered Renee Good, was NOT TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL according to police reports. He was taken to the Federal Building. He was NOT INJURED. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Worth every second

This leads me to believe that up until this meeting, Trump absolutely thought it was "hole milk."

Child’s Blow Into Car Breathalyzer Rewarded With Dicey Trip To Ice Cream Shop https://theonion.com/childs-blow-into-car-breathalyzer-rewarded-with-dicey-trip-to-ice-cream-shop/

To say a bit what people’s lives are like: both of my kids’ schools have chats that are connected to the parents and neighbors patrolling school grounds observing for ICE. Every a.m. other parents monitor them in case we need to quickly go to the school to help prevent a child from being kidnapped.

I would, I think, normally have dismissed or at least shrugged at the Governor’s invocation of MN as a special place with its own ethos and distinct moral identity. But I lived there. And it’s true.

In a dog walk around my Minneapolis neighborhood, 14 degrees but feels like 7, I encountered three people in high viz vests patrolling, 2 people heading to a meeting of local businesses, too many anti-ICE signs to count and children happily sliding down a steep hill of pure ice.

you, needing the light of prime Stone Cold Steve Austin: we could never overthrow a government me, having received the light of prime Stone Cold: every Monday night for five years straight this nation cheered a man beating the shit out of his boss, we are ready www.youtube.com/watch?v=SL6N...

Crucial context here is that this is an entire state full of people who spent their childhoods playing king of the hill on plow mounds for months on end.
