One should never read the Villager letters to the editor.

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

He will eventually say "yes I think Black people are monkeys" on live TV and Republicans will still rock with his power grab and money grab, because that is the only thing that is important to Republicans, even the ones who claim they are appalled from time to time.

Please join me as I have the great pleasure of curating 2026 KFAI Black History Month programming - "Black Futures in the Hour of Chaos" on 90.3 FM all through the month of February. Listen in on this first important episode!

Did they have a Third Way training on how to say Fuck! regarding the Trump regime while simultaneously doing nothing hosted by Jacob Frey Campaign staff?

this transcript was actually first released by @danielsuitor.com, who paid to receive it. i don’t really get why this law dork guy isn’t crediting dan for it, or boosting a minnesota charity like dan has asked him to do if he’s gonna take it like this not cool

Repubs proving time and time again, you can not let them anywhere near your kids.

Striking from new Quinnipiac poll: *Voters prefer path to legalization over deportations for most undocs by 59-34. Among independents it's 61-33 *Majority says Trump on immigration is making America less safe Again, there's broad rejection of the whole project, not just ICE tactics (see below)

Of all the things in the history of the world that definitely did not happen - this is the pinnacle.

Sadly, I have a personal ask: ICE kidnapped a staffer who works at my grandson’s daycare this weekend along with two other family members. Can you help the extended families with legal costs & famity support? It would mean a lot to me. I’m just sick about this. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

just like how derek chauvin was an MPD trainer

i talked to unicorn riot for this too about issues i see in the culture of the DFL committees

Please mask up. If they don't want to be identified, dont let them identify you.

It is Sunday, a good day to remember, there are people supposedly on your side actively trying to get you to forget your thoughtful, evidence-based realization that abolishing ICE is the only smart and prudent thing to do. Happy Sunday.

You’re describing an emergency. The world is also watching you and waiting for you to do something. Are you going to establish an eviction moratorium? Rent is due today.

Dumb article. Presumes a non political ICE objective which is naive to the point of irresponsibility.

I wish just one Minnesota politician fought for Liam’s release the way Texas congressman Julian Castro has. Not surprised, still disgusted. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

if they did irony or shame, it would occur to wingnuts that for all their Jan 6 cosplay about liberty, it is a bunch of liberal grandmas and aunties in Minnesota who are really willing to stand up to tyranny from the government. But we know theirs is not a legit values philosophy

Hundreds of protesters took to San Francisco’s Ocean Beach on Saturday to create a piece of human art in response to recent fatal shootings by immigration agents in Minneapolis. 📸: Stephen Lam

For all you Republicans out there, just in case your are flirtatious with the 1st amendment or the US Constitution in general pressfreedomtracker.us

I love my neighbors when they get awakened, even when I know some of the stuff they said in the past. Just begging yall be consistent, dont backslide when we call for analogues, all the ways we take care of one another, all the so called radical ways not related to this crisis in particular.

Whatever we’re doing, it’s not enough.

We have trying to tell people in other parts of the country that this is an occupation straight up. And they tend to think we are exaggerating- or its hyperbole. Nope, straight up ICE and Border Patrol view Minnesotans as a population that must be suppressed.

So do all the troglodytes at all the CRimE WaTcH and Nextdoor sites report on ICE crimes and assaults or do their heads just explode?

Kao Kalia Yang is one of Minnesota’s greatest writers. I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing her a couple of times and she is every bit as lovely and poetic and magic as her work.

There isn’t any indication that immigration activity has changed in Minneapolis. In fact, this afternoon, federal immigration agents began staging at Holy Rosary Catholic Church located in East Phillips. This activity is disgraceful and creates an unsafe environment for our neighbors. 1/

all that talking and shit you've heard from Walz and Frey, all that verbiage on all those centrist and right leaning podcasts and shit, have not heard one thing about helping folks hiding out when that rent is due at the first of the month.

It’s time for our elected officials to share the burden and act. When you call or email your elected representatives, demand immediate action:

Rent is due and families are being pushed to the brink. In the midst of everything happening right now, immigrant community members are struggling to make ends meet, and the neighbors and organizers stepping in to support them are stretching beyond capacity.

Yesterday Bovino left and Tom Homan came to town and ICE continued as usual taking multiple people near Central Ave and throughout the suburbs. But we Minnesotans don’t get scared, we get organized and we get in the streets.

Night raids are what killed Amir Locke.

Over 1,600 evictions have been filed throughout Minnesota from January 1 through January 23. Filings for January rent have increased dramatically in the past week. February rent is due soon. It is still extremely dangerous for our neighbors to be out in public.

Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez has been a hero throughout, advocating, witnessing, speaking up, getting assaulted by ICE thugs, but still never failing to help the people he represents. Bravo @jchavezmpls.bsky.social

While glad to see Bovino humbled, I really don’t have any higher opinion of Homan—a cruel, cold, corrupt, calculating bureaucrat who’s devoted more of his career to mass deportation than almost anyone. He’s the architect of child separation.

What does that say about you that you are not brave enough to admit or declare for the abolition of an agency that has only been around since 2003, and just swooped in with masked unaccountable thugs and killed two loving neighbors? ask yourself, it is a fundamental question

Oh dang, okay I have a crazy story! So, this U.S. citizen was watching TV in his house, in his underwear (like a lot of us!) and ICE came and BROKE DOWN HIS DOOR WITHOUT A SIGNED JUDICIAL WARRANT AND DRAGGED HIM OUT THE HOUSE IN HIS UNDERS IN SUBZERO TEMPERATURES AND KEPT HIM FOR HOURS.

Leadership looks very clear when you see it.

Sorry, Trump, your support is collapsing and you’re panicking. Right on cue, you’re deflecting from your failures with lies and conspiracy theories about me. Years of “investigations" have found nothing. Get your goons out of Minnesota.

The Trump administration and Trumpers are trying to make our lives feel untenable and chaotic. The backlash from 2020 will not be complete until they force you to submit. Never ever submit. Never surrender your values, your love, what you know to be true, you cannot submit...

Come together for what? Progress towards what? I’m genuinely asking. The federal government is murdering Minnesotans and disappearing our neighbors. So if any of these CEO’s want to explain to me personally what I — as a state leader — should ask the federal government for, I’m available.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in. Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

unlike all the strident leftists who were correct too early, i am correct at exactly the right time

WNBA players have ALWAYS put other professional athletes to shame in demonstrating moral character and bravery while having relatively the most to lose. I love yall.

Since he is on camera so much, next time he is on a journalist should ask @MayorFrey is he ready to abolish ICE now?

We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

It's also about convincing you that they impose reality and that they are the final arbiters of truth. Hence the importance of continuing to name reality and truth ourselves, at every single turn, with all that is available to us.
