Crowd-sourced data gives us a lens into how big the ICE surge was in MN compared to other places, visualized today in the Minnesota @startribune.com www.startribune.com/is-ice-reall...

seething with jealousy about the cool saint paul jacket but in a chic way

“mental illness isn’t an excuse for bad behavior” ok well that’s literally the thesis for my entire career so maybe keep it down

why are we talking abt disability in this way rn, i’m seeing some horrendous takes and i haven’t been online v much lately

the cats got over the trauma of coexistence v quickly tho

this weekend we introduced Coffee Cup to his three kitten cousins. Coffee Cup was the best, most chill boy! the kittens were……..unsure abt this new creature

This community in Minnesota is one of the hardest hit

The Andrew formerly known as “Prince.”

I am a v committed dog person but I have recently taken a nap with a v cuddly kitten resting on my chest and it was so worth the sneezes I endured afterwards

“These hoes wanna live in Omelas” is going to stick with me.

Please don't accuse people in knitted hats of only wearing their supposed politics if all you're doing is posting, which is basically just another way of wearing your politics. It's a silly thing to attack people over in any case. Using fashion to signal support for ongoing acts of rebellion is good

my partner’s conservative lutheran parents are out here on Facebook arguing with their peers about how this is fascism and how Renee Good and Alex Pretti were doing nothing wrong. we love to see a little performative change in someone’s viewpoint tbh

Whole thread but especially this. My view from Minneapolis is that I'm surrounded by acts and messages of solidarity, support, and defiance, and some of them make me cringe but THAT'S OKAY, it's not all FOR me. It all adds up. There is power in the accumulation of signs, gestures and assistance.

the ears are so so so so so good oh my god

Coffee Cup the dog has spent his evening gazing adoringly at each of us in turn, he is a big dumb cuddly sweetheart!!!! thank goodness!!!!

this is Coffee Cup, he is already obsessed with @theisb.bsky.social and we love him v much

great news: we love him and he’s coming home with us

on our way to McLeod County to meet this dog which is crazy bc I was under the impression that there was naught but void between St Louis Park and Seattle

the house is too quiet and there are too many crumbs on the floor so we’re meeting a dog tomorrow

BluePearl Vet Hospice has the loveliest, kindest staff who really held us in our grief with compassion and good humor and helped us make the best decision for sweet Biscuit, deeply grateful for hospice workers of and for all species

did you know that the United States Postal Service has special labeled boxes for shipping cremated remains?

thank you thank you thank you to everyone who have sent us condolences and pictures of their dogs and who donated to their local animal shelter in Biscuit’s name. I am so glad Biscuit was so loved and I am so glad our love for Biscuit shone so brightly

A thing that would help rn is if you could show me pictures of your beloved departed dogs who welcomed Biscuit into whatever afterlife exists for good dogs

Boberry Biscuit Sullivan-Sims was called home to be with the Lord today. In lieu of flowers or condolences, please hug your own pet extra tight and consider donating to your local animal shelter.

We said goodbye to sweet Boberry Biscuit Sullivan-Sims this morning. She ate half a pound of deli turkey and some good cheese, then laid down in her bed and fell asleep in our arms. We miss her terribly.

people are always like “what link do i give to?!” one giant pile of money is actually not a great way to help people. people choosing a variety of places to give helps keep the money moving. no one org gets flooded to the point of breaking. a PTA, the mutual aid venmo, can move $ even faster.

and if you want to donate, i found this directory that seems helpful: standwithminnesota.com

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota. people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

Modern Times is a South Minneapolis staple, and a personal favorite haunt. For the duration of the occupation they're renaming themselves Post Modern Times and going to a donation-only model. Everyone but ICE can eat for free. Donations: Venmo: moderntimescafe givemn.org/story/centralimpactfund

we made our christmas tree into an ICE effigy and burnt it in our backyard today

the dog had a neurological event last week and she’s even more baby than usual

baffled at how many people are shocked to learn their friends support ICE, I mean like yeah you should end friendships over this but also what on earth do you people talk about where smthg like this never came up

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

Mood in minneapolis right now

I love us I love you we are going to win

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

2026: coordinating evacuation efforts from my home neighborhood because the National Guard’s setting up a no-go zone near my house

if I get murdered by the feds, please take the bait

I just wanted to have an easy morning with my family but unfortunately the federal government keeps killing my neighbors

they can’t kill us all but I would really prefer my neighbors stay alive and whole

do literally anything tim they’re killing us in the streets

My favorite sign at the Powderhorn protest weekend before last was carried by a very normie looking older white man: "NAZI GOP SUCKS ASS"

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.

biscuit update

Philly been dining out on the Hitchbot thing since 2013 . It’s been decades since they whipped a battery at Santa. The craziest thing they’ve done recently was when that guy ate shit after the Eagles won and that was before COVID. Minneapolis has the belt right now sorry to say.

Gotta remind yourself not to cry when you see the kid's signs. It's negative -25°F and tears are dangerous. "LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" "ICE GIT OUT YA FUCKIN DUMBIES 😡"

leaving the scene of a car accident is a crime and i’m so fuckin sick of these lawless criminals in my neighborhood

NOW: At 32nd and 15th in South Minneapolis. federal agents smash up their car, leaving the car there while hopping in another vehicle, per bystanders. Reports of a person taken as well. Minneapolis January 23, 2026

It’s -10 out and there was a whole crowd of observers to peacefully remind ICE that their presence in our community is not appreciated or wanted.
