We did have some pretty good times didn’t we

We're following the latest ICE raids and developments on a day Gov. Tim Walz will address Operation Metro Surge's impact on small businesses. More: https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/list-of-ice-raids-major-updates-in-minnesota-on-tuesday-feb-10

I think it’s worth noting as many times as you can that “Fuck ICE” is not a city sentiment. It is a state sentiment.

LMAO

In Saint Paul a declaration of a State of Emergency also comes with an ordinance with a “shall cooperate with state and federal authorities”. I don’t know if that’s the case for Walz but if it is… well you might like that reality even less than this one.

She’s not wrong. The whites will take a surveillance state long before training their dog or getting to know and speak to their neighbors.

Shout out to the Seahawks for translating some of the American Allegory to text by crushing The Patriots at the Hispanic AI Super Bowl.

There's still time for the Vikings to win this

If the prosecutorial arm of ICE withers away to nothing and it’s just the enforcement goons left do you think the rocks level stupid federal judges we got will finally make an order to stop this shit then?

This guy got adopted this morning. I have now saved 47 animals. Using averages I have generated just short of 600 years of animal companionship.

Blueski really should do a solid for one of their top constituencies and add a Minnesota flag emoji to the app

Guy just loves getting himself into tight spots of MN public buildings

Life has taken a weird turn. Tactical Norm is now dispensing advice to parents in other cities about how to prepare for life under a federal siege.

My 2-hour reign over the Highland Park Senior High gym will be remembered as prosperous (we completed our agenda on time) and benevolent (my neighbors were nice to me)

Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.

Caucuses are a volunteer led event! Last night happened because your neighbors worked very hard for you for free! If you didn’t like something, don’t complain: volunteer!

Temperature Check from Caucusing: Participation is WAY tf up. Angie Craig is cooked in this city for that Pro ICE vote. Klob got half the votes in a straw poll where she was the only candidate. People HATE ICE. I had to ask a neighbor to quit asking every candidate mid speech to arrest ICE.

Oh no way they lied about this one, too?

lol Judge Kate Menendez declined to stop an operation so poorly run that its own attorneys are begging to be imprisoned. Bring the Elf back. We got room for him at Stillwater.

I think for every Minnesotan ICE has cut loose in El Paso without a ticket home we should be given leave to throw one of them bodily into the dead center of Gitchigumee.

Some quick thoughts on yesterday's ruling in Minnesota v. Noem. open.substack.com/pub/mollycol...

experts say dragon's skills at marauding and thievery are a dangerous mismatch for a small peaceful hamlet with gold treasury

Dumb article. Presumes a non political ICE objective which is naive to the point of irresponsibility.

On the off chance someone who this applies to reads this: If you work for ICE you debase yourself. Your immortal soul will be hidden from the light of redemption. It’s Hell for you and frankly Hell is not hot enough.

IDK man, there are things that benefit from the decentralization and horizontalism of the moment, and then there's meme campaigns putting everyone on their back foot to respond to whatever demand they slapped together on canva, and confusing people genuinely trying to meet the moment.

Go to caucus, if not for party politics, for the base reason of meeting and knowing your neighbors.

So Tom Homan said if local officials comply they’ll draw down their forces. And that’s a promise worth the vomit covering his dumb drunk grunt.

If I violated NINETY SIX court orders I would expect to be apprehended by the Batman, let alone retain my government job.

Shout out to @megl.bsky.social , putting up better numbers than both Morgan Freeman and Christmas

Watching the news of Ilhan getting attacked while I was on door duty at Erin’s townhall at the same time definitely did psychic damage but also supplied belligerence.

Yes because what they are doing is fucking objectively evil.

I’m sorry but this is beautiful. The millisecond Ilhan realizes what’s happening she goes to punch him and then higher brain says “You’re in congress” and she drops her fist.

The right-wing bot brigade on Twitter and in newspaper comment sections has been screaming that Minnesotans defending our neighbors against ICE are defending violent criminals and people who've preyed on children. Once again, every accusation is a confession.

Twin Cities folks, if you live in House district 64A, don’t boo, vote.

Saint Paul people in 64A—today is a voting day! I almost forgot with everything going on. I was voter 21 and I voted for Meg Luger-Nikolai.

We will retire Tom Homan’s thumb-looking ass too. Bring him to the tundra. We’ll retire the whole pack of demons if you let us.

Going to hunt the Winter Carnival medallion after school duty in a federal occupation is a weird structure for a day.

One of my tasks this week has been compiling statements of small businesses who chose to close on Jan. 23 in solidarity with the General Strike. Here are my take-aways after reading more than 1000 of these statements from 79 cities and towns across Minnesota:

Oh so now we get the bribery guy to replace Evil Elf? www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

Don't forget to vote tomorrow 64A. #StPaul

Stop saying we’re exhausted. Sure I’m tired but you gotta understand that this engine also runs on hatred.

I've been thinking on it for a while now and I've come to the conclusion: We're going to win.

Ward 4 continues its legacy of absolutely enviable representation.

There isn't a perfect playbook for defeating authoritarianism, but we know from other countries that democratic resurgence is possible. I wrote for @slate.com about some of what we're seeing in Minnesota and why I believe, even now, that we will win. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Well I mean I guess it’s kind of nice of them to clarify that yes, this whole thing is just political punishment and extortion.

If a fed is talking they are lying.

ICE needs to get out of our state and these agents of violence brought to justice.

Both of the Minnesota Martyrs were murdered at age 37. I looked up Psalm 37. Here are the first 2 verses: Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away.
