It’s depressing to see the conditions outside the Whipple Building with fences and barricades. If it looks like this outside, imagine what our neighbors are experiencing inside. 1/

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.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

As students across the country walkout and a general strike roars in #Minneapolis as part of ongoing #ICEOut actions, we sat down with grassroots organizers in the twin cities to talk about the nuts and bolts of resisting authoritarian ethnic-cleaning. thebeautifulidea.show/ice-vs-ice-o...

Really reflecting on "dream of spring" as a reminder that a post-ICE world has existed long before this winter, and will exist again

The resilience from yesterday and through this entire occupation has been nothing short of incredible. ICE cannot defeat this

Organizers in the Twin Cities are inviting you to participate in a week of action from February 25 to March 1. Come help with local ICE watch and rapid response efforts—and learn from them! Join in efforts targeting complicit politicians and corporations! melttheicemn.com Bring the heat—melt ICE!

Say what you will about bread and circuses, Robert Kraft’s New England Patriots getting dog walked by Seattle means Earth is healing.

10 years ago the anarchist counter-information site Conflict Minnesota posted a communique about a mask being tied around the Zapata statue’s face* in a symbolic act of solidarity with political prisoners in Mexico. Now Zapata wears a mask once again. *(Sadly that photo has been lost to the æther)

That Coinbase Superbowl ad is the most desperate thing I've ever seen a company do. Absolute edge-of-collapse behavior.

Interview with a few filter blockades participants :)

The proof is staring us in the face and we are not currently building a giant guillotine in DuPont Circle or Zuccotti Park. We aren’t building a gallows. We aren’t putting heads on pikes. WHY?!?

A "filter barricade" setup on Bloomington Avenue in Minneapolis. Saw quite a few of these today. Those at the barricades have told me they're to bring community together and protect their neighborhoods by not allowing federal agents through if identified. February 7, 2026

We set up filter blockades to keep neighbors safe. The governor has decided to set up his own blockades, to keep federal agents safe, so they can continue murdering, kidnapping, and violating Minnesotan's rights.

SUBMITTED TO US: Bloomington and 35th was held for 7 hours, withstanding two sweeps. Neighbors and friends re-erected the blockade within minutes after both sweeps - before police had even retreated - thanks to the support of neighbors who dropped off more supplies and hot drinks. .

Trump administration border czar Homan is currently wearing Tim Walz like a hand puppet. Here we see MN National Guard LMTVs blocking access roads into the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota. You know, the ICE detention center and forward operating base for Operation Metro Surge.

This is the first year I haven’t raced in it 😭🫩🥴

MN DOT snow plows blocking all freeway exits into the Whipple building today, not only are MPD, Hennepin County Sheriffs, MN State troopers, and MN DNR conservation officers all aiding ICE in their efforts but also the MN Department of Transportation. Governor Walz is directly complicit.

Fondly remembering the months of weirdness/unhinged comments we got from Pritzker fiends on this app and others for simply (and accurately!) covering state police attacks on protesters outside Broadview. Godspeed to everyone in Minnesota facing the same from the Walz fan club

Speaking of barricades, just noticed "filter barricades" are back this morning. Here's one at Lyndale Avenue and 24th. "8 WEEKS UNDER OCCUPATION ICE OUT NOW" Minneapolis February 7, 2026

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

🚨BREAKING: Local Minneapolis police rush ICE protesters in front of federal building—violently arresting one woman as she screams. LIVE NOW ⬇️

At Whipple where expired dicks are being thrown at ICE vehicles and those believed to be agitators. The area has been a place of protest since thousands of federal agents arrived in the city. Near Minneapolis February 7, 2026

Minneapolis police are now showing up with riot cops to stop peaceful potluck protests now. All in service to protecting fascist death squads. Minneapolis police are fully pro fascist violence and against protestors

So many friends popping up all over

This blockade was just swept and then immediately reconstructed

The blockades keep getting swept by MPD only to be put right back up again as soon as they leave.

There’s an increase of ICE activity today in South Minneapolis including Powderhorn, Phillips and East Lake Street. Tom Homan wants our community to put its guard down but we won’t be doing that. 1/

MPD sweeps the Bloomington blockade

I tried to go to my favorite cafe with my kid this morning, but we had to turn around because the cops were tearing this down and I didn’t trust them not to teargas everyone. Truly, you cannot spell police without ICE! We keep each other safe.

Beautiful blockade at 35th and Bloomington already being surrounded by MPD :(. Really can't spell police without ICE

Check out the homies in St. Paul!!! The vibe across the twin cities rn is "no ICE anywhere"

There are multiple “filter blockades” in south Minneapolis now reportedly :)

Zoom in below to find the most effective spot near you to set up additional Filter Blockades! [SUBMITTED TO US] Maps of ICE engagements in the city of Minneapolis from Dec. '25-now, encompassing a range of activities, from successful and attempted abductions to stakeouts, stagings and drive-bys.

the fun thing is this guys are objectively bad at using these weapons too. BORTAC is violent as hell but not particularly competent. You can tell when a riot team knows how to maximize the impact of chemical irritants and flashbangs to disrupt a crowd. it's a skill.

Filter Blockades: A Tactic to Defend Your Neighborhood from ICE We review how to establish and maintain filter blockades, share accounts from filter blockades in the Twin Cities this past week, and conclude with a broader look at the history and potential of the model.

4 students are locked down to Morril Hall at the University of Minnesota East Bank campus demanding a sanctuary campus after 70 students were arrested by UMPD at a noise demo last night outside the U of M affiliated Graduate Hotel where ICE agents are allegedly staying.

we just had a mayoral election 3 months ago, and minneapolis rejected omar fateh. low information “voters” should stop making signs like this and start looking in the mirror

Let Minneapolis be the example for everyone that a “sanctuary city” does not exist as a policy but as a physical state that is put in practice actively every day by your direct involvement in upholding it by any means necessary. Our cities are not “sanctuary cities” unless we back it up with action.

The myth of the “sanctuary city” has been entirely shattered and everyone needs to act accordingly. Your state and local politicians will not save you. They will sic their dogs on you just the same as red state governors and mayors would. No one is coming to save us. It’s up to us to save ourselves.

Local PD protect federal death squads.

[SUBMITTED TO US] On Saturday morning (2/7), resisters will be setting up filter blockades across the Twin Cities to defend our communities from ICE abductions. Reach out to your neighbors and friends to plan a filter blockade near you!

"Antifa" is a designated terrorist group btw

Liberals ruin everything they touch what else is new. Communists been knew we have to fight alone, waiting for the libs to come around is a good way to end up never getting anything done.

Free Kyle Wagner obviously but also don’t fed post and then brag online about being on the run.

it’s really not suspicious at all kyle wagner is wearing this shirt either. look at videos - the man is obsessed with playing for the cameras just like feds are. he was “on the run” yet couldn’t stop doing interviews. again, he calls himself “antifa kyle.” it’s branding. of course he’d put this on

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too
