“How is it, then, that it’s OK to use unregulated chemicals on a broad range of civilian populations, especially when these chemicals are banned in war?” via @19thnews.org www.minnpost.com/health/2026/...

The Trump administration should give the $134 billion they’ve taken in as a result of their harmful tariffs back to the American people. Every last dollar.

John Barron making guest appearances in 2026 was not on my bingo card. Imagine being nearly 80 and still calling into TV under an alias. Cringe.

The most shocking thing about SCOTUS' tariffs case is that 3 Justices would have let Trump use a statute that doesn’t mention tariffs to impose ones that are unrestricted. Fortunately, the other 6 said no. Here’s the background you need to understand the decision: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Well, at least the FBI can't cover this one up. Yet.

Trump’s loss at the Supreme Court on tariffs is good for Minnesotans, who have lost an extra $1000 this past year thanks to this unconstitutional stunt. But, he’s already threatening more.

The bill seeks to expand upon current Minnesota law that makes it a crime to not assess the victim and provide aid after shooting someone or witnessing a shooting, as long as it is safe to do so.

Following the Supreme Court’s ruling deeming the orange felon’s trade war tariffs as illegal, Illinois Democratic Governor JB Pritzker is demanding the return of over $8B that was stolen from families in his state by said tariffs. All Democratic Governors should do the same.

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

This is a major victory for Maryland residents in the fight for safety and our rights. Local police must be accountable to their communities, not ICE.

Trump’s regulators have announced they will fight states’ attempts to regulate prediction markets. It just so happens that Donald Trump, Jr. is involved with both Polymarket & Kalshi, and the Trumps’ social media company is launching its own prediction market. Always follow the money.

The mob is good now!

At some point, federal judges are going to have to go beyond issuing strongly worded orders condemning ICE's lawlessness, and start fining recalcitrant Trump administration officials and/or putting them in jail

To be clear, CBS refusing to air Stephen Colbert’s interview with Texas Democrat James Talarico after they received threats from the MAGA regime to bury it isn’t only censorship, it’s full blown fascism. Propaganda CBS aren’t a reliable news source, they are state tv.

We are only $230 away from having raised $1,000 to support this family already! Any support you can give can help make an impact!

Hey all - this GoFundMe for a family in need of immigration legal support has stalled on its momentum - can we get it over the top to its goal today? If you repost with your donation, I will match all gifts up to $250 today! www.gofundme.com/f/ayuda-el-p...

Omg! Buy this book! Omg! (I say this as a fellow historian-stan or whatever who is an unabashed fan of her scholarship. But I mean it!) I didn't begin thinking that media made the right, but two books later, I do now.

These interviews with former Obama administration officials underscore a mistake none of them will express bluntly. They gravely overestimated the character of the American people. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/17/u...

Over three years, we recorded interviews with more than 450 officials, organizers, activists, and extraordinary people from all walks of life to put together the most expansive presidential oral history in existence. The Obama Presidency Oral History is now live!! obamaoralhistory.columbia.edu

Jesse v Marvin

9 reports of incidents in Minnesota to ICEOUT.ORG so far today (since 3 am). So 1 an hour. Not all incidents are reported to that entity so likely more. But one an hour shows the invasion of the Gestapo is NOT over. The media attention may be elsewhere, but our neighbors still need OUR attention.

Me when new legal filings against DHS drop:

Federal agents convinced an 11-year-old boy to open the door at 7:30 a.m. and then detained this Hmong grandma for 2 weeks in Texas. She shared a cell with 20 women. What did she do wrong? She has no idea, but ICE has returned repeatedly. She's still in hiding. www.twincities.com/2026/02/15/h...

Animation of all fed activity from Dec 1st through Feb 11th. The source data are a combo of both rapid response networks' data and IceOut's.

You go to East Seventh Street, the West Side, Lake Street, University Avenue, etc. You find an immigrant-owned restaurant. You eat. They survive. It’s the best middle finger I can give to the shitstorm that has been 2026…

The biggest compliment I received today was when an elected official shared a little bit about what they knew on a question, then handed it off to me because I was maybe more knowledgable, and so I plugged @ziibiing.com's standwithminnesota.com as a place to find ways to volunteer or donate.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

A new Reuters investigation found hundreds of judges intervening in the prolonged detention of immigrants without criminal records. And they're not just Democratic appointees. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The vibe at Mercado Central is pretty damn jubilant today.

Where TF do they think coon rapids is?? It’s part of the same surge dumb dumbs

Minneapolis estimates 76,200 residents are now experiencing food insecurity because of the federal immigration operation. The city also estimates a negative economic impact of at least $203 million.

"These connections could be the beginning of something so much bigger than getting ICE off our streets, if we want them to." www.firewalledmedia.com/p/wont-you-b...

A group of Twin Cities restaurant workers are asking the state's hospitality business association to step up protections for workers amid the federal immigration operation. They say some employers aren't doing enough to support their immigrant staff.

“What happened here will be studied by social scientists and historians as one of the great victories of nonviolent resistance in recent times. Minnesotans showed that brutality and sheer numbers could not overcome communities that were united in their opposition to the usurpers.”

Former CNN host Don Lemon and four other people are set to be arraigned on federal civil rights charges in Minnesota

Man, I just want to give the biggest mom hug to the night shift Sunrise folks. Just a crucial part of torturing ice while here. Every part of the resistance has been amazing. Heroes. I’m so proud of you!

We continue to see no drawdown today with ICE activity in the Phillips neighborhood, Columbia Heights, and Shakopee. Our pressure is working as the Senate bill to fund DHS did not pass last night. Keep up the pressure by reaching out to your federal representatives.

Trump tapped white nationalist Jeremy Carl for Assistant Secretary of State for International Orgs. He called the Civil Rights Act an “anti-white weapon,” pushed the “great replacement,” called Juneteenth a “race hustle,” and compared J6 defendants to Black defendants in Jim Crow trials. 1/2

This is the white nationalist and pusher of antisemitism that the Trump administration is trying to get confirmed right now in the Senate. Shameful sick stuff:

They’re corrupt lawbreakers, every last one.

You might think that the inhumane conditions at America's concentration camps is because of this administration's usual lazy incompetence, but, no, it's because of this administration's usual vicious cruelty.

TONIGHT: @hennepinatty.bsky.social talks to @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social on The #LastWord at 10pm ET.

So much EW.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.
