Current* conditions near Beaver Bay, MN:

Breaking MS NOW: FBI Director Kash Patel flew today on the FBI's Gulfstream jet bound for a trip to the winter Olympics in Italy to watch one of his favorite sports: men's ice hockey. Patel's trip to Milan is likely to cost as much as $75,000. www.ms.now/news/kash-pa...

is he still talking? 😅

the glorious constitutional principle of "the president can't fuck with Supreme Court justices' investment portfolios" stands strong

no worries because CBP doesn't have anything else major going on right now anyways 🙄

how about we just spend the same $$ and do the same retrofit process but make affordable housing units? 🤔

This is a concentration camp, full stop

Concerned about ICE's $45 billion plan to convert warehouses into immigration detention centers? This is what they'll look like inside. From ICE's plan for the Social Circle, GA facility. Each little dot: a person. www.socialcirclega.gov/home/showpub...

Minnesotans filming ICE:

enraging

One of the terrible things about the ICE occupation of Minneapolis is that they’ve been doing stuff that is so crazy that people assume it’s some kind of exaggeration, despite being widely documented on video. Following observers home! Lurking outside elementary schools! Black-bagging citizens!

I CANNOT

MSNOW can't get enough of our heartthrob mayor. Which means we are the spouse watching our man be delightful at a party while thinking, if you like him so much, take him home with you.

Mayor Frey on east coast victory tour answering questions about the time he said "get the f out of Minneapolis." Remember that? That was the moment we knew the feds were in trouble.

still looking for those photos of amy klobuchar on the streets standing up to ICE like we saw from jason chavez and elliott payne and doron clark, to name just a handful of electeds who are out here protecting people

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.

Fuck ICE. Abolish ICE. If these cowards leave it's because our fellow neighbors stood up to tyranny and defended their community members. This is not a political win, but a win of the people, by the people, for the people. It is now us politicians' jobs to seek justice and restitution.

Play through the whistle, Minnesota!

RUN IT BACK 😅

Why are they trying to shift power away from ordinary citizens and towards elites with passports?

Imprison ICE

* Continue to patrol, observe, and support your neighbors with daily tasks. * A recovery package that includes support for small businesses and impacted neighbors who are facing hardship and legal assistance and rental assistance, so our neighbors aren’t displaced. 10/

Additionally, we must never forget what they did to our neighbors and loved ones. They murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti, shot Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in the leg, and kidnapped Victor Manuel Diaz, who then died under ICE custody. 7/

I am still asking the community to remain cautious and vigilant until we can confirm what this truly means. They said they are not backing down from mass deportation but will be ending the operation in Minnesota soon. 5/

This victory is yours, but we must not stop until ICE is completely abolished, and no more families are ever separated again.  I will forever be thankful to those who patrolled, observed, and supported our community with mutual aid and daily tasks during these horrific times. 3/

This morning Tom Homan announced operation metro surge would end soon. I’ll believe it when I see it. We still need people out and staying vigilant until every last agent is gone and everyone wrongly taken to Texas or anyone else is back home.

“We’ll snatch more people off the street if you’re mean to us” seems like a big admission

Man, today is the perfect day for ICE to get the fuck out of Minnesota.

👀 from the @startribune.com

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

definition: "weary of the evil bullshit"

a mood 😌

wow the way gwen walz looks at ye olde gov walz sometimes 👀 — I really think they're in love

👀

Can't believe not one DFL politician is going to just go for it and challenge Klobuchar for governor. We're going to sleepwalk in the middle of this crisis because nobody wants to take on the big dog.

The Whipple Building needs to be shut down. No human should ever be treated with this much inhumanity. 3/

If you cannot do it with people watching, what you're doing is not "law enforcement," obviously. It is legal to observe ICE, and the people committing "obstruction of justice" here are not the observers. This should be 100000000% obvious.

well... who's gonna tell her

excellent reporting 🙌

Rest in peace Renee Good. Thank you for supporting our immigrant neighbors. You’ll always be our hero. 🕊️ 💜

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

💚

unfortunately, not holding my breath for frey to do the right thing

Council President Payne: "there's no more urgent crisis than what we're going through right now." City's bond rating won't matter when it feels like we're on the brink of civil war.

This has me thinking of Lorraine O'Grady saying white supremacy may no longer require white people to perpetuate itself.

In case you missed this week's episode, I broke my promise to cut out the part where my guest showed up chewing pretzels. I just used a censored bar. Plus heavier topics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_Gl...

outstanding reporting

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan. It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash. “ICE GTFO OF MN” Minneapolis February 4, 2026

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
