No budget for rent and small business assistance but plenty for a billboard?

How disappointing. Stop giving money to billboard companies and bring back Open Streets you ghouls.

We help us – and we’re not gonna stop any time soon. Please help us document this moment by calling 1-844-WE-HLP-US to share your story of mutual aid in Minnesota 💚

You can argue about draw-down numbers, but even if zero agents remain in Minnesota by Monday, the damage, economic and psychological, the fear, the apprehension, and mistrust, will take years, if not decades, to repair.

Anyone out there love Theweleit's Male Fantasies? I'm looking to pick someone's brain if I we can DM.

For those looking for a greater understanding of the Twin Cities and the histories of race, citizenship, and immigration in the US that have led to this moment, the university of minnesota press is sharing this list of books for greater understanding, some of which are open access.

Heartbreaking.

America, 2026

This is what an actual attack on a church looks like.

Last week a border patrol agent was filmed pepper-spraying a detained protester at point-blank range. @pacantifa.is identified agent as Tyler Gramlin. For @us.theguardian.com I asked Gramlin for comment. His response? He sent me a weird far-right "Amelia" meme. "DEFEND YOUR HOMELAND," it said.

These assholes got me listening to my old Bad Religion tapes.

We're going to see a lot of posts like this, written in the past tense, as talking heads put a bow on their social media engagements with Minnesota and move on. Know that nothing is in the past tense for residents here.

Nothing has changed on the ground in Minneapolis.

Steve Inskeep gets the most disingenous answers to his questions from right wingers and usually he just laughs. It just tickles him.

The terror that ICE and CBP have inflicted on the children of the Twin Cities is, by itself, a crime of scandalous proportions that will forever stain this country's moral fabric, and all those responsible should never know another day of peace. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Have never received a text message from Angie Craig but since Renee Good's murder I've received several begging for money.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Just published an essay on this www.welcometohellworld.com/there-is-no-...

If the events on the day of Renee Good's murder are replicated, ICE will go on the attack today.

Another person shot by ICE in Minneapolis this morning.

Oh gosh!

I will just keep repeating. I have never never never seen anything like this. 30 years of reporting.

We're going to find out one day that Trump's Greenland sabre-rattling was just a really bad UTI.

Thousands outside Terminal 1 at the Minneapolis airport now.

Holy shit they ARRESTED Nekima Levy Armstrong?

The cruelty and depravity of ICE knows no bounds.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

When you run a fascist out of Minneapolis, you are entitled to a traditional feast that honors your Minnesota ancestors.

Amid all that is happening, I urge you to pre-order my new book. As our systems further collapse and the state chooses to spend its funds terrorizing communities rather than investing in our collective care, we need to bear witness 1/5 www.harpercollins.com/products/in-...

I grew up in rural N. Minnesota. There's a fascinating diversity of people all over the fucking place. But yeah, if you only interview people day drinking and watching Price Is Right on TV in some dive bar, then yes, you are likely to meet the area's incurious and unintelligent contingent.

Left my home in Longfellow for a morning doctor's appt in Uptown. ICE all over my neighborhood streets. Neighbors standing on streetcorners bundled up, guarding elementary schools. Horns honking outside the doctor's office as a kidnapping force drives by.

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present. He was bundled into the van & taken away. Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?” I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

We are a small group of neighbors in the Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis, and we have created this fund to administer individual support to meet the urgent needs of families in crisis in our neighborhood. Please give/share if you can! tinyurl.com/helpinglongfellow

This is Lyn-Lake, a commercial hub of South Minneapolis and one of the busiest corridors for traffic and transit in the city.

i don't know what's going to happen, but I hope everyone remembers this invasion of minneapolis forever, and dedicates some part of their lives to holding them accountable, from the fascists on the street to the fascists in DC. I know I will.

i believe the photographer who is taking the photo is Christopher Katsarov of the Canadian Press, and here is his photo

During the uprisings in 2020, Walz sent Minnesota National Guard troops into South Minneapolis to terrorize my neighbors.

It’s the last day to visit @uminnpress.bsky.social at #MLA26, but you can still visit our books online and take advantage of our sale at z.umn.edu/mla26

The decision has been made to break an American city. It is an experiment. We must do all we can (legally) to help Minneapolis hold on.

A Red Lake Ojibwe descendant was snatched by ICE in Minneapolis, and a Plains Cree woman was questioned. This is in addition to the four Oglala Lakota men who reportedly were grabbed by ICE. ictnews.org/news/i-felt-...

This is the heart of it. Any press coverage that gullibly paints this partisan punitive campaign of retribution as "fighting crime" or "enforcing immigration laws" is actively complicit in a government campaign to punish dissent.

ilhan omar is so brave, and we are so lucky to be represented by her in CD5
