trying to wrap my head around how we are going to raise $15-28 million dollars for the expected rent need in Minnesota in March when the news cycle has now passed us.

If you’re coming to the Twin Cities in the next couple of weeks and this drawdown really occurs, good luck getting a rental car that doesn’t smell like body odor, piss, and 45 days of a grown man eating nothing but microwaveable soup.

Protest with your wallet.

omg everybody go draw a horse this is what the internet was made for gradient.horse

In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

the musk boys are never ever beating the allegations

Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

Trump cares most about the markets. The best strategy is to opt out. We’re asking you to join a monthlong national economic strike targeting tech and AI companies. www.resistandunsubscribe.com

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

reported ICE activities in the Twin Cities this morning -- terrorizing a daycare -- drawing weapons outside a bank

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

When ICE succeeds at making everywhere into a combat zone, they’re able to pretend everywhere is also a protest zone. We are called “protesters” when we’re on neighborhood streets, outside donut shops, walking our kids to school. That’s on them, NOT us.

It’s fucking staggering when MPD has the moral high ground.

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

Remember, Tom Homan said ICE was going to keep killing people until everyone was nicer to ICE. www.techdirt.com/2026/01/12/t...

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Gov. Tim Walz: "Thank God we have video, because according to DHS, these seven heroic guys took an onslaught of a battalion against them or something. It's nonsense, people. It's nonsense and it is lies."

Why are they sending witnesses to Whipple? WHY ARE THEY SENDING WITNESSES TO WHIPPLE?

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

This is democracy: Thousands march, scores of Minnesota businesses close in protest of ICE enforcement www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

Cannot see the end of it.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

Some immigrants in Minneapolis have said they're scared to go out because of ICE agents across the city. When one 12-year-old needed to run an errand, it triggered a network of underground volunteers. n.pr/4pT6Ia8

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped from Minneapolis. He was my neighbor and he died in an American concentration camp. He was not "illegal," he was a human being made in the image of the divine. May his memory be a blessing, and may the rest of us fight like hell until we stop this brutality.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Goddamnit.

Excuse me yes I would like to participate!

I've been a Hulu member since the service launched in 2007. Not anymore. Boycotting ABC/Disney is a surprisingly easy decision!

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

I’m sorry for the long post but a lot of you have followed me for a long time, since 2016 when I was one of the first to repeatedly call out Trump for being a Russian asset. I don’t know how else to say this, as a person who has studied cults (wrote a bestseller about it) and totalitarian states.

Curtis Yarvin, who has been profiled in media like Politico and The Wall Street Journal, has publicly stated in the past that he thinks black people are naturally fit to be slaves.

Tomorrow, as we enjoy our #July4 BBQ, remember farm workers are harvesting in sweltering in dangerous heat - while being terrorized by ICE. Today's highs are projected at: Arvin CA 105° Fresno CA 103° Coachella CA 105° Yuma AZ 105° #WeFeedYou

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

My husband and I caught the World's Strongest Man highlights today (which I fuckin love, I could watch them all day) while at a fave bar, and it led to a conversation about the kinds of cultural contributors to sport and how they intersect with politics and yes we ARE a lot of fun at parties.

How the fuck do either of these people have more money than I do

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

I know corporate media wants social networks tell them what the One Big Story is of the day. But that's not what social media is for. It's for humans to connect with other humans. We don't need you to tell us the narrative.

This is an EXCELLENT piece that is nevertheless one of the funniest, most pathetic things I've ever read. What a bunch of clowns.

Sen Mike Lee & the silence from Republicans made it clear: decency is in the rearview mirror. After he mocked a political assassination, Ed Shelleby, a senior staffer to Sen Tina Smith, wrote to Lee’s top staffers. @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com read it on-air, and honestly everyone should hear it.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵
