At the end of the day no amount of theory or posturing changes the reality that our economy is on the brink. Tough decisions will be made at the capital this year. I’m praying we do enough and get enough passed even with the slim majority.

North Minneapolis is resilient. They have been rallying together to support one another in a completely grassroots and community-led effort to keep one another safe. They asked me to share this hoping to prevent the displacement of more families in North Minneapolis. gofund.me/ca75a5b42

I keep turning those numbers around and around in my head. During the coldest stretch of the winter we got an average of 34 hot meals a day to unhoused ppl & ppl experiencing food insecurity. We’re nearing 1000 burritos, plus 100s of tacos, tamales & dozens of pizzas. Pastries from local panaderias.

🌯 Big burrito update 🌯 With good feels & a way to keep paying it forward exponentially. You donate to feed unhoused folks & it's done by placing large orders with local immigrant-owned businesses, keeping people fed while keeping others afloat financially! It's truly beautiful!

“The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office said it was not involved in Thursday’s arrests, nor in a similar incident at the building last week.” Sheriffs were literally on scene pushing people out of the way to let these goons rush this kid outside. Just own your decision to collaborate.

It’s been another busy week dealing with the ICE occupation in Minneapolis, but I wanted to give you a Burrito update! We started this project just over 5 weeks ago, and since then we’ve provided over 1150 meals for people, and spent almost $12k at local, immigrant-owned restaurants!

Maya is one of my favorite spots. Amazing food, kind people. Their storefront being dark these past weeks has hurt. But tonight, there was a light on Central. The smell of something incredible in the air. They’re opening tomorrow for the first time in weeks. Let's show up for them.

In the Skyway 20 minutes after an ice abduction, mayor Frey walks through the government center. A lady yells at him "what are you doing to stop this? Fuck you." He responds, "is that helpful?" With a smirk on his face.

another abduction just took place at the hennepin county government center in minneapolis iceout.org/en/reportInf...

Target: Sounds good, man. You want to use our parking lots?

have never seen popular public opinion shift so fast about a surveillance product than the fallout from ring's super bowl "search party" ad. they'll teach this in advertising courses one day. chef's kiss baby www.404media.co/with-ring-am...

for @autostraddle.bsky.social, i wrote about how minnesota's queer-owned businesses (and queer folks in general) are standing up to ICE and defending their communities:

Going forward, it is vital that the Mayor hear our city’s concerns and refrain from holding these kinds of meetings on City property and keep ICE away from our at-risk residents and employees.

Given the repeated examples of deception, trickery, and violence being used by ICE to kidnap our neighbors, it is our responsibility to never bring ICE into places where our residents or employees could be at risk.

If the Mayor needs to meet with the border czar or other high-level ICE officials, as he has done in the past, these meetings must take place off of City property to protect our residents and our workers.

I have heard from staff and their unions that workers at the City of Minneapolis have been abducted by ICE while on the job or while coming to and from work. This lays out clearly why the City must be vigilant in the enforcement of the separation ordinance.

Hosting the border czar and ICE agents in City Hall (and its parking areas) is a violation of the City’s separation ordinance and broader City policy. These are in place to protect our residents and City staff.

Knowingly violating our separation ordinance, and endangering the people that work in and around it, violates our shared values and the trust that residents imbue us with as elected officials.

Minneapolis residents have been very clear: being a sanctuary city means no collaboration with ICE and federal immigration enforcement. City Hall is meant to be a space of and for the people of our city.

Following this incident I followed up with Mayor Frey to ask for more information about what had happened. His chief of staff confirmed that the Mayor and his administration had a meeting with border czar Tom Homan. I assume the ICE vehicles outside were part of Homan’s convoy.

This morning 5 ICE vehicles parked illegally in a bike lane and in MPD parking spots directly outside of City Hall. Myself and several other Council Members and city staff went outside to observe them and blew our whistles to alert people nearby. After about 45 minutes they left

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

*lets out a massive breath* man, raising funds is a stressful little adrenaline rush, huh? I'm gonna try to have a chill night, and once all the funds get transferred into one place I'll send it to them in the morning.

Caz is someone I’ve met at appreciate a whole lot in our community! Please help their neighbors stay housed!

Friends, I learned today I have another set of neighbors who need help :( Young couple w a v giggly toddler, bought their condo last year. She works PT from home, his jobsite already got raided by ICE once, they're gonna miss their mortgage on the 15th. Amount needed: $2000 Venmo: Caz-A

CC: @governorwalz.mn.gov, @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social This is untenable.

Neighbors in Ward 4 are carrying the mutual aid load without the support of our CM. Donations are winding down for one of our long time community hubs that is not only continuing to support pet owners, but our human neighbors. Mypitbullisfamily.org/mutualaid

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

Trump DHS claims 1360 deportable individuals subject to ICE detainers in MN prisons and jails. Real number is closer to 300. This bogus inflated number is why they say they're here. They can go home now.

Trump admin is building a list of people to retaliate against for engaging in legal, 1st amendment protected activity.

i'm baffled by all the people in the replies to posts about the spy doorbells asking for alternatives. like... the alternative is a regualr fucking doorbell with no camera in it. or a door knocker. get you a weird gargoyle guy! you dont need a camera!

Not to be That Guy but I’ve been tracking cops who commit sex crimes against children. This isn’t just limited to ICE/CBP. There have been over 300 cops in 3 years who’ve committed these crimes.

Because context is everything, a "flags of the Americas" display accompanied by a "love over hate" message packs an emotional punch. Unremarkable to generations of elementary schoolers. But in 2026, it's either rage-inducing or liable to make the adults cry.

We salute members of the Minneapolis Volunteer Public Works Department for making Lyndale Avenue sidewalks a little safer.

This is called getting Higgs'd.

There is an outside chance that @jchavezmpls.bsky.social got almost as votes as Chris Seymore

washington county republicans’ facebook post about anders folk speaking to them on 2/7. he is seeking DFL endorsement in running for hennepin county attorney

why did anders folk speak to the washington county republicans yesterday at their monthly candidate forum? he is running for hennepin county attorney and seeking the DFL nomination

Hi! allison was busy with Twin Cities Zine Fest yesterday, but we're back with an update! We raised $2,488 since our last check-in! $1718 of that was for a family's rent in collaboration with @ziibiing.com! Current fund: $0 Total distributed: $23,499 Venmo: @jamesirving Cashapp: $jamesirvinghair

We're not talking enough about how much the Hennepin County Sheriff's Department run by Dawanna Witt is collaborating with ICE. Arresting at Whipple, working with ICE to arrest legal observers, failing to trespass ICE when not welcome in hospitals and schools. Shame.

Y'all Mercado Central still needs some help so that they don't lose their building

Steven “Galo” (18) and Marvin “Montana” (15), two teenagers, need the help of our community. Yesterday, masked agents intercepted them and then these teenagers sustained injuries. I just spoke to the family, and they need help with medical and legal expenses. gofund.me/031c7da46

$285 from James Irving’s fund (see how we just move this money constantly to get it where it needs to go) brings us to $511/800!! That’s just shy of 64% funded and means we need only 12 more people with $25 to pay this rent! 🌻🌻🌻

This guy got beaten by a bunch of masked thugs whose salaries are paid by our taxes simply for being Mexican. Help him out.

this is the hennepin county sheriff’s office deputies, not the minneapolis police. the whipple isn’t even minneapolis
