Some professors at the University of St. Thomas are doing a research project on the effects of the ICE occupation on Twin Cities parents. They're looking for parents who are US citizens, who live in the Twin Cities metro area, and who have kids ages 5-10. stthomas.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

The affordability President just caused the fastest gas price spike in years, and the jobs President just lost 92,000 jobs in February. Are we winning yet?

Only 2 months into 2026 and the president has achieved so much. Waging war on Venezuela, Minnesota, and Iran, while covering up his alleged role in a child rape syndicate, is a lot.

It’s time to pass Pause Evictions, Save Lives in Minneapolis. Currently, renters receive a 30-day notice prior to a landlord filing an eviction. This ordinance would temporarily expand this timeline to 60 days through August 30, 2026. The first vote is at Committee of the Whole on Tuesday. 1/

All this, yes

This. Right here. This.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

so fun fact: recently during the fraud investigations being redone by this season’s feds, MN’s rate of medicaid/medicare fraud was well below the national average nationally, it’s ≈ 6% each year; in minnesota it’s like ≈ 2.5% we know this is vindictive at this point

It seems the racist DHS rampage in MN may be resulting in the dismissal of cases that actually should be prosecuted. Dismissing charges involving a gun because the system was overwhelmed by unconstitutional seizures of people with brown skin... doesn't sound like law and order to me.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M, to detain 4k people of whom only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Plus two citizens murdered. ~ Veterans for Peace

Those not living in Minnesota please read and share. The next American Civ War has already begun and they are trying to convince you they've already won.

The fact that the highest profile pediatric gender clinic in Minnesota recently announced they’re shutting down and California has a transphobic governor really underscores how fucked the rest of the country is 😞

This whole thread is worth a listen

I would have died at five months; my older sister at age ten (bacterial meningitis and appendicitis, respectively). The other two sisters might have lived…? Glad for modern medicine.

Everyone who worked at this camp should go to prison.

They don't want to acknowledge that they are complicent. We will make sure everyone remembers in November.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

One of every thousand American residents has been taken into custody by ICE in the last year.

At my junior high all the girls sewed cloth hearts (stuffed, embroidered, edged with lace, whatever) and pinned it to our shirt. 1/

Ooooh a possible DHS shutdown? No, don’t throw me in the briar patch, Mister Fox! Anything but that!

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman Her testimony is everything and it deserves to be heard, by everyone. Decide for yourself. It’s powerful. It’s gut-wrenching. And no one should have to survive what she did. ICE MUST GO‼️

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

The number of detainees getting put on ICE flights at MSP has been relatively low the last few days. I believe this is not on account of ICE pulling back - they still outnumber local police in many towns - but on account of vulnerable people staying home, observer pressure, and lawyer organization.

Hey Mac Grove and adjacent folks, neighbors are gathering Saturday at 12:15 at Hidden River Middle School to ride to the memorial ride. I can’t be there but maybe you can?

If you are seeking a way to financially support Georgia Fort right now, this is the best, and most direct, way to do so (info from a family friend): www.georgiafort.com/support?utm_... Free Georgia Fort now!!

OK, here's my thought on this: @erinmayequade.bsky.social should run for governor. (Or Steve Simon, if she REALLY doesn't want to.)

When you have an entire basket of bad apples, you don’t try to fix them. You toss them into the compost.

Some sweetness here! (MN Book Awards finalist list, middle grade)

Downfall Bovino Edition. You're welcome.

Oh dang, okay I have a crazy story! So, this U.S. citizen was watching TV in his house, in his underwear (like a lot of us!) and ICE came and BROKE DOWN HIS DOOR WITHOUT A SIGNED JUDICIAL WARRANT AND DRAGGED HIM OUT THE HOUSE IN HIS UNDERS IN SUBZERO TEMPERATURES AND KEPT HIM FOR HOURS.

If Amanda Hemmingsen-Jaeger or Kaohly Her were previously your state reps, please vote tomorrow.

All of y/our opportunities to show up, Minnesota / World. Light it up. Grieve local, heal global. We truly got this. Abolish and Prosecute ICE.

This was an execution.

Didn’t see this on my bingo card when I joined my church years ago, but: my pastor got arrested today, and I’m so so proud of her. (ICE protest at MSP)

Me and me cousin, one Arthur McBride, One morning went walking along Lake Street's side Now mark well what followed in that wintertide As the cold Friday morning was dawning

ICE are now breaking the windows of vehicles with TODDLERS INSIDE to abduct them. this is horrifying please contribute if you can and share to help this family - gofund.me/6295b51b3

Just saw on KARE 11 that this boy was sent to a detainment facility in Texas and that his family didn't know his whereabouts for almost 24 hours.

(Content warning: ICE violence) At around 1:40 this afternoon, I witnessed federal agents with ICE and CBP arresting a US citizen after hitting her car from behind, and then kneeling on the head of a legal observer in the snow, preventing breathing and bloodying their face.

When the courts give you cover: ICE in action today in Minneapolis, spraying chemical irritants inches from the face of an observer, already subdued and being held to ground by at least two other agents Photo: Richard Tsong-Taatarii, Star Tribune

But the point is for about 2 hours these 5-6 cars did nothing except drive around Roseville, constantly observed by the Roseville Liberation Front made up of retirees and librarians. They can't do shit. They are outnumbered. Their operation is shit & ground to a halt. never got my fucking coffee tho

South Minneapolis EYES UP

A small note: terrible things are happening in Minneapolis. But also in Saint Paul. And in the suburbs. And though most of the push is in the metro, things are happening all over the state. I've been trying to refer to the events as happening in the Twin Cities or in Minnesota.

note, please, that this is a Catholic elementary school
