"Your fucking dead dawg" ICE has issued threats to observers today (February 10, 2026) in the greater Twin Cities area, near Hope Church in Richfield, Minnesota.

In New Jersey, ICE has started using roadblock-style checkpoints to conduct racial profiling checks on random drivers. This particular checkpoint was observed in Hopatcong. (2/10/26)

"A girl living in central Minnesota alleges that immigration authorities separated her from her family and detained her overnight in a hotel, where she was forced to share a room with federal agents" www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

It is absolutely outrageous that Moderna’s flu vaccine was met with a “refusal-to-file” even after their approved their protocol with FDA and carried out the trial as agreed. This vaccine works better in older adults than the current flu vaccines. apnews.com/article/mode...

Bloomington police announce arrests in sex trafficking bust: "Rashad Johnson out of Maple Grove. This is the most disturbing arrest that we've had here. He is a backgrounder for ICE, Homeland Security, and federal agencies."

"This is Mia, 7 years old -- 'I don't want to be in this place. I want to be in my school'" -- Walkinshaw confronts Lyons with letters written by kids being detained by ICE

Local citizens aren't happy with what the government is doing. It is legal to follow and record federal agents in a public space. Over 655 people have been charged with "interfering". That's twice the rate of the previous administration. These arrests are illegal. www.reuters.com/world/us/ice...

Tomorrow, Trump plans to terminate $600 million in health supporting grants in 4 states. We have a list of the grants they plan to axe here: grant-witness.us/posts/2026-0... But the Trump Admin knows these cuts are unpopular, and they've reversed course before. TACO. So call your reps.

The Trump administration is planning to terminate $600M of CDC grants to CA, CO, MN, and IL. We're publishing the full list. They are using vulnerable communities as a weapon to dismantle public health, targeting partisan enemies, and manipulating media. 🧵 1/5 grant-witness.us/posts/2026-0...

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship. Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

So this guy thinks terrorism is people with whistles, not masked men shoving people in vans...ok

I know the Sgt. Schultz routine seems to work for GOP legislators, but claiming you’re unaware of massively viral videos of ICE misconduct when you’re the director of ICE just makes you sound hopelessly incompetent and out of the loop.

MAGAZINER: Is spraying pepper spray directly into someone's face when they're already pinned to the ground proper procedure? SCOTT: I can't comment because you're only showing one piece and that subject is clearly not compliant MAGAZINER: He was already pinned down

GOLDMAN: What guidance have you given your agents about asking people to show proof of citizenship? LYONS: We don't do that G: Really? So all of those individual citizens who have been randomly asked are lying? LYONS: If ICE is conducting an investigation, they'll ask someone their nationality

GOLDMAN: Do you know what other regimes in the 20th century required similar proof of citizenship? LYONS: Various nefarious regimes did that GOLDMAN: Is Nazi Germany one? LYONS: This is the wrong type of question

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

2/ Here's @atrupar.com's clip of that important moment in today's hearing: Once again, videos show Americans the truth about what ICE is doing. Camera's up & document, document, document. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is part of a pattern that is impeachable: Trump cuts previously appropriated Congressional funds, but only to states led by Democrats (California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota).

You know what they’re going to store in those warehouses? People

Wow. 733 measles cases so far this year. At this rate, 2026 will far exceed 2025, the worst year for measles in decades Only 6 cases this year were imported from abroad. This is a domestic problem that will grow FAR worse when the babies going unvaccinated on RFK's watch admin go to kindergarten.

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.

"Unfortunately, I think this is very emblematic of a decline in the communications, both in the amount as well as the quality," www.npr.org/2026/02/06/n...

This, from @jamellebouie.net is exactly right. And I think so many folks have refused to see or admit what Trump is because admitting implicates them, or their families, so denial is easier.

The “least racist president” took a dinner designed to host all of America’s governors and made it a whites only event

This guy was kidnapped down the street from me. The ICE surge in Minnesota is not over, nor limited to the twin cities. Be safe and please do not be silent or pretend that ICE is de-escalating.

The daily newspaper based in Minneapolis has an extensive photo spread in its print edition today, titled “One month in Minnesota.” It marks a month since a federal agent’s killing of Rene Good. The photos carry dates ranging from Jan. 7-29. Six staff photographers are credited.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Outrage after US Congress votes to slash $125m in funding to replace toxic lead pipes

Worst of the worst: "Pena Jimenez, a Mexican citizen who lives in Lakeville, came to the U.S. in 2000, owns a tile installation business and has no criminal record, according to his petition." Flown out of the country, against a judge's order. www.startribune.com/judge-orders...

We reviewed more than 100 Minnesota license plates attached to immigration enforcement vehicles in recent weeks. We found that nearly 60% were not registered with the state of Minnesota, including the Chevy Tahoe that federal agent Jonathan Ross traveled in the day he fatally shot Renee Good.

Every American needs to watch this:

I’m the former Secretary of State of Missouri. Here’s what Trump means when he says he wants to “nationalize elections.”

Not that it would be okay to do this to an undocumented immigrant either but THIS GUY IS A LEGAL IMMIGRANT and also his lawyer hand delivered his medication and they REFUSED TO GIVE IT TO HIM. Enraging! How do ANY of these people live with themselves?

RFK Jr says, falsely, that Covid vaccines are “the most deadly vaccines in history,” & he says, falsely, that "Gardasil HPV vaccine appears to be increasing the risk of cervical cancer in vaccinated age groups," so it's no surprise the next targets of his anti-vaxx activism are Covid & HPV vaccines😔

Trump posts racist video about the Obamas. Karoline Leavitt dismisses criticism as "fake outrage." Tim Scott calls it "the most racist thing I've seen out of this White House." White House deletes video. @ericalgj.bsky.social @bellakwai.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...

Controversial Danish vaccine research group faces new allegations: new paper shows many of their trial results have not been published. www.science.org/content/arti...

Was driving my kids to school and the first thing on the radio was reporting about Trump's video depicting the Obamas as apes and I think many people still don't fully appreciate what it means to have to raise Black children in a country where the president is so brazenly and consistently racist

An ICE-hole in Memphis, TN, is seen kicking a puppy in the face for just no damn reason. I can’t wrap my head around what I just saw. They’re all truly evil. #FuckICE #ProudBlue

With a few exceptions, the items in this list are already the law. Republicans are saying it’s unrealistic for Trump’s goons to follow the law.

RFK Jr said during his Senate confirmation hearings that his trip to Samoa in 2019 ahead of a devastating measles outbreak had “nothing to do with vaccines." Documents obtained by @us.theguardian.com and @apnews.com undermine that testimony. Details here, by me and @aliswenson.bsky.social ⬇️

Refugees International has a devastating report on what Trump's gutting of USAID has done. www.refugeesinternational.org/reports-brie...

You still have time to apply to come and work in our microscopy core facility!!

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

Targeted, punitive weaponization of the legal system.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!
