Minnesota would like a word.

Striking similarity to the taxidermied head of Jeremy Bentham. Worse choice of headwear, though.

Interesting that state media just skipped over the phase of repeating government lies as war justification to just making up those lies themselves to rationalize war.

I will keep saying this, I guess: the entire concept of "unlawful assembly" is unconstitutional if you think about it for even two minutes. Individuals who haven't committed crimes can't be prevented from assembling because other individuals nearby are alleged to have committed crimes.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

The Trump administration one consistent theme: never failing to kill kids.

That SNL sketch from the 90s where Bill Clinton is Moses and drops the tablet with Commandments 6 through 10, saying "we only need five", except it's Donald Trump as Alexander Hamilton "accidentally" burning Article I in a fire at Independence Hall. "We only need Article II!"

This is pretty funny considering most military PhDs at these kinds of places write dissertations with topics like "American Naval Power: Justifying an Outlier Case" and "A Realist Perspective on Non-Nuclear Aerial Assault Campaigns"

Minnesota pays $44 billion per year more to the federal government than it receives back in benefits. Maybe we should stop paying taxes and let Ohio, Mississippi, et al take care of themselves for a few decades if this is how the federal government are going to treat us.

I live in Minnesota and I want the federal government to stop trying to kill us. And hurt us. I want them to stop attacking us. It sucks. We’re just trying to live our lives and take care of each other and we don’t deserve all this. I kid around sometimes here but I’m not kidding now.

This shows why you can’t trust headlines or press conferences from the Trump administration. We still need people out keeping watch and staying vigilant until every last agent is off of our streets.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Good to see consequences for reckless driving that kills people.

The kind of completely free symbolic courage that we would love to see from Frey or Walz.

“On Feb. 4 — the day border czar Tom Homan announced a ‘drawdown’ of 700 agents — Lewis said ICE agents posed as journalists outside a Fridley school wearing bright orange bands on their arms reading ‘press.’” “‘They were yelling and screaming at our staff, yelling and screaming at parents’”

Minneapolis expected emergency response time is 5min, for comparison.

Members of Congress inspected the Whipple, finding it empty of detainees. Yet detainees were also seen being released and boarded onto deportation flights to Texas. 🤔

The Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as “unaccompanied,” even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.

A MN protester accused of assaulting ICE officer had case dropped after vids showed no assault. LA protester accused of assaulting ICE w/ “hat” had case dropped; judge said govt acted in “bad faith” In Chicago, 92 ppl were arrested for assault/impeding ICE; 0 convicted DOJ keeps lying and losing:

This 53 year old man who lived in my neighborhood w/no criminal record & who had been in the US for 30 years, was detained and thrown into a cold cell for days, caught pneumonia and COVID there and deported. He finally died. I am so angry. www.kptv.com/2026/02/21/n...

This seems like a weird thing to not announce, but if the terms are as described (some unconditional restrictions on ICE behavior w/r/t courthouses) it seems reasonable. ICE immediately violating that agreement is what seems like the problem.

As a Minneapolitan, I cannot think of a worse Democrat to represent our city and our state, or our collective opposition to fascism.

For a whole year, DHS hid that they murdered Ruben, a young man in Texas, after a traffic stop. Just like they did with Silverio, Renee, Keith, Alex, and Linda, they lied and avoided accountability. How many more people have to be executed before my colleagues realize that reforms are not enough?

just read a story about a little boy in SC who just learned to ride a bike but he was unvaxxed and got measles and got really sick and got a spinal tap and then pumped with medicines and then his brain swelled anyway and now he won't ever walk or eat on his own and he definitely won't ride a bike

When people ask how things are in Minneapolis, now that DHS are allegedly scaling back, these are the stories everyone needs to hear. Donald Trump, Kristi Noem, and their goons blew millions of dollars accomplishing nothing except causing lasting economic harm to Minnesota.

There's something deeply depressing about people from greater Minnesota hating on Minneapolis-St Paul and laughing at the suffering of people and small businesses here. MSP's economy and taxpayers subsidize the rest of the state. If we suffer, the whole state suffers.

ICE are still here.

Our leaders have lost sight of what has made us great. Compassion costs us nothing. We don't need to be like this. We are fallen.

My favorite part of high school Spanish was that we got to watch R-rated movies, in a completely inexplicable exception to an otherwise incredibly conservative and easily offended educational environment.

ly amazing, ironically

NYT: Trump secretly deported 9 migrants despite court orders to not remove them to their home nations. So, he sent them to prison in Cameroon: www.nytimes.com/2026/02/14/w...

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

In Minnesota, it's not even possible to permanently ban someone from driving. And nationwide there are countless cases of killer drivers being allowed right back on the road. It says a lot about our society that we think people who kill other people with cars deserve continued access to the weapon.

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

There is some kind of irony in that the modern right plays on nostalgia for pre-1950s small-town life where you know your neighbors and visit small businesses, but the only places that still resemble that in an economically healthy way are moderate-density urban neighborhoods, filled with leftists.

Literal atrocities being carried out in our names every single day Abolish DHS, raze it from top to bottom, blacklist its architects and leaders, embrace the broadest reparative vision possible

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

The City did not make deals or concessions with the federal government or ICE to end Operation Metro Surge. We are committed to our separation ordinance. MPD & the City don't participate in federal civil immigration enforcement or help ICE with civil immigration enforcement investigations.

Probably a controversial opinion but I think the entire concept of police declaring 'unlawful assembly' is unconstitutional. The 'right to peaceably assemble' is individual. If you're peaceful, the government can't stop you from being in public. 'Unlawful assembly' is collective punishment.

Somehow I completely missed that the Texas measles outbreak last year spread to Mexico via unvaccinated children and has now killed 28 people, infecting 9000, and leading Mexico to likely lose its measles elimination status. Thanks, RFK Jr. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/w...

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old. “8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

Elon Musk genuinely has to be regarded as one of history’s pre-eminent mass murderers

Obvious lies were obvious lies, in fact.

The federal government put hundreds, or thousands, of scars all across the state. People here have to live with that forever.

We don't want ICE to leave. We want them to not exist.

Monsters. Absolute monsters. From the front line to the Oval Office.

We're here for laser loons spitting sick tunes, not laser goons shooting down balloons.

ICE are still being terrible in the Twin Cities, hurting people and causing mayhem.
