Power concedes nothing without a fight. The news of the draw down this morning is a development that was won by the power of neighbors joining together to keep each other safe. We celebrate the wins. Yet we know the threat is not over, and so our fight is not over.

Don’t back down. Abolish ICE.

This is why Minnesotans are begging folks outside the state to keep talking about us. Please don’t let the world forget we are still in danger.

"Due process is not a courtesy extended at the government's convenience. Due process is the condition that makes custody lawful in the first place." Man, that right there is the whole ball game.

Hey folks! Street Medics in Minneapolis have reached out to us asking for help boosting another wishlist! Everything on this list is going straight to Columbia Heights. (If you hate amazon, please visit www.standwithminnesota.com and find a different way to help! just help, that is what matters)

Like Kendrick, political as hell precisely because it doesn't bother to acknowledge the haters. They're irrelevant, beneath attention. And nothing is more intolerable to fascists than the thought that their enemies are cool, enjoying themselves, and not thinking about them.

Imagine how different this game might be if the Patriots knew that they could try to intercept the ball. Definitely nobody tell them because it’s better this way.

My theory that AI maximalists don’t know how to use a computer remains undefeated so far

If you are outside of Minnesota, please continue to pay attention. Our communities are still under siege despite the press conferences.

can’t not hear and see:

ICE detained multiple kids (all under the age of 10!) in the last week alone. Still kidnapping people based solely on the way they look. Still arresting parents at school pick up. Nothing has changed in Minnesota. Nice words from the Admin won’t change that. ICE leaving will.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

We had open borders until the US decided it needed to prevent Chinese people from coming to the US. And frankly, might as well move the Overton Window. Open borders are a boon. Immigrants bring vitality & ambition, which makes a country smarter & wealthier.

The funny thing about a certain type of angry conspiracy guy is that they’re literally being confronted with an elite paedophile ring and a tyrannical government at the same time right now, and because it isn't being done by the people they wanted it to be done by they’re all being pussies about it

dont let a few ICE agents leaving mn fool you. nothing on the ground has changed yet. this is a way for them to distract and give a scapegoat so the rest of the world will turn a blind eye.

ICE needs to be ripped down to the studs. We need to start over and hold this Administration accountable for this mess.   Nothing has changed. Minnesota is still suffering and sending in a new guy to run ICE won’t change that – but Congress can.

this is, unfortunately, the time for us to once again call our senators and say fuck you try again

Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

If your rep, no matter party, is not on this list as a co-sponsor to impeach Noem, be on their case until it is. Non stop emails,calls, posts on their social media & encourage other constituents to do the same. Mine is not and he is getting an earful. www.govtrack.us/congress/bil...

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting. More accurate terms: - observers - witnesses - volunteers - neighbors - residents - people

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

You can’t “we need our guns” your way to perpetuating school shootings while “he had a gun” your way to justifying public executions. A nurse. Someone who’s actually saved lives.

once again i am asking literally anyone in a position of power to do literally anything so that our neighbors stop getting fucking murdered in the street

The kidnappings of Black, Latine, Indigenous, and Asian US citizens are not an accident. They are the leading edge of a wide-scale ethnic cleansing campaign with centuries-old roots that is intentionally targeting not just non-citizens but all people of color. All. People. Of. Color.

The cognitive dissonance of getting an amber alert for a missing white child as the state kidnaps, brutalizes and disappears hundreds of black and brown folks…

This is undeniably true the longer Dems drag their feet. It's gonna get worse every day. And I don't think Dem officials realize when it does get to that point they're gonna have to contend with both Trump's goons and their own constituents armed at their doorstep asking for answers

The Hague is the moderate option.

KIDNAPPED. You don’t arrest a child. The word you’re looking for is KIDNAPPED.

they are just lying when they say this is about arresting criminals they are abducting children. babies. they murder mothers, they kidnap children, they torture anyone who resists, and they call it "law enforcement" they are pure fucking evil

If you’re a grown ass man in full tactical gear asking a child to show you ID or proof of citizenship you failed at life. Utterly & completely failed. Loser.

8th circuit gives ICE go ahead to use force against peaceful demonstrators, a decision which will immediately lead to injury.

We will be closed on Friday, January 23rd. There will be a unified, statewide pause in daily economic activity. Instead, Minnesotans will spend time with family, neighbors, and their community to show Minnesota’s moral heart and collective economic power.

We will be closed on Friday the 23rd in solidarity with our community. We call on Congress to stop the illegal occupation of Minnesota NOW. #AbolishICE

Yes, voting against ICE funding is the morally right thing to do. But you can be the most heartless political consultant bastard out there - cutting ICE is still the smart play. That Schumer/Jeffries are silent right now is political malpractice (and morally reprehensible, if you care about that).

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

This is important EVEN AFTER ICE IS ABOLISHED because Trump can't pardon state charges.

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

Tired of being burnt out? What to change the workplace instead of re-inventing yourself? This book offers real tools to battle burnout, rather than burning you out with more burnout facts ❤️ Out 13th Jan from @microcosm.bsky.social! uk.bookshop.org/p/books/self...

Yeah, politics is a contact sport but Angie parroting GOP fraud rhetoric to win a DFL nomination is disqualifying. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

If you're not willing to arrest the killer, don't arrest the demonstrators.

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

This glib statement is all the more risible when you recall how many law enforcement officers used their vehicles as weapons against protesters in 2020... and how many Republican-dominated states *sought to legalize killing protesters with vehicles* as a reaction to the demonstrations

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
