Chicago is having none of this administration's BS.

Today, with the windchill struggling to reach 0°F at times, thousands marched down Lake Street in South Minneapolis protesting the actions of ICE. “ICE Out of Minnesota!” "MINNESOTANS KNOW ICE IS SLIPPERY AND DANGEROUS - IT'S TIME TO DE-ICE!" "Immigrants are not the problem"

Congressional investigation now.

we gotta bunch of old white ladies chanting “fuck ice” in somali- we are going to win

The windchill is brutal. Wind gusts strong enough to push me around. Still, thousands are here marching in the cold in support of our neighbors in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

this liar said he vetoed an ordinance that required humane treatment for large homeless encampments, including toilets, handwashing, trash pickup and fire safety, for the sake of homeless people. Seriously fuck this dude and yall who voted for him yall deserve the same scorn

We are living through the darkest comedy.

North Minneapolis!! we have a Monarca upstander training planned at Camden HS on Jan 5, 2026 from 6-8pm. register here: bit.ly/RRCA0108

thinking about the pardon of my good brother Jason Sole in MN - when folks truly make amends to community, dedicate their lives to repairing harm and building, these should be our most heroic exalted figures. We should be investing heavily in Jason and everyone like him.

This is good… but the Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt instructed/authorized officers to assist ICE with crowd control when they took two people from Karmel Mall on Monday 😢

Tune in to @kfai.org now to hear from Natasha, Anndrea and Cierra about how they got involved in organizing to shut down the HERC! Show: No Name in the Street with D.A. Bullock @bullycreative.bsky.social Kfai.org

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana Senate Republicans reject new congressional maps in defiance of Trump’s redistricting push.

When this regime is in the dustbin, Dems will abandon the obvious and well founded of abolishing ICE and pivot to the bullshit of reform ICE (which will result in even more funding). Because we have shallow politics in this country, even from so called allies.

NEW: Federal agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement were confronted in north Minneapolis and the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood on Tuesday after locals learned operations were taking place. unicornriot.ninja/2025/ice-arr...

You couldn't find a better example of local news media copaganda than an official city department overspending its budget by $20m—after getting budget increases year over year over year—and having a report frame it as primarily as city council criticism, followed by an exercise in both-sidesism

the people ripping out their hair over "Somali Fraud" do not bat an eye at MPD being $19 million over budget, because their so called values are as fraudulent as the schemes themselves

$246 million/year, and they still are steadily complaining it is not enough. $1 billion in less than 5 years - do you understand the kind of safety that money should buy you? even if you gave violent criminals a cut of that money to just go away, you would spend less. crazy.

Deep thought: There are babies who were born after Jacob Frey began his first campaign for mayor (campaign theme: fixing MPD) who will be old enough to pay the taxes that will be swallowed up by the massive Amir Locke and Davis Moturi lawsuit settlements, whenever they come.

Beloved was found, reconnected to fam. Thank you loves. I am a complete hardened asshole against these fascist troglodytes and I am the softest in my appreciation when we love and take care on each other - Both/and strategy.

Brain twister from Council Member Vetaw: "I personally have never had anyone ask me for municipal snow plowing [of sidewalks] but I have had someone ask me for someone to come over and clear their sidewalk..."

They're not even trying to appear nonpartisan anymore.

That’s a 25% raise. Who gets 25% raises? He wants to massively raise his property taxes. This is bullshit.

Community members in Minneapolis are searching for a loved one. Please contact this number if u have seen them( 612) 481-3563

I agree. Elected officials need to show up and have candid, transparent conversations with community. Ambiguous claims of values alignment is not enough. What specifically are we doing? What are the barriers to achieving the changes that community wants to see in the criminal legal system?

I can’t believe they say this shit out loud

It is also worth mentioning, KFAI is the ONLY place you will hear this type of community-led convo with an elected official. This type of media is so important to how you form your civic understanding. More important than EVER. Support it!!, go to www.kfai.org/donate

Right wingnuts will attack Black Muslims and "defunders" and eventually liberate Derek Chauvin while Minneapolis liberals will never admit how much they did to usher in this backlash bullshit authoritarian police sycophant politics. t.co/TTSsYDDskq

AGAIN!!! Support your public libraries. LIKE ACTUAL POLITICAL SUPPORT. I do not want to hear "I looooovveee my public library" from people who don't actually pay attention to whether they are being adequately funded and sustained, lol...

The president is a lunatic

when it comes to so called criminal justice, it is astonishing how much we in America have not tried, ideas that deserve some test at scale based on small success. And we haven't tried simply because we lack the will and ethic.

They still think the police will protect them from the "real" fascists.

Kalla is now putting homicide on even footing to a tenant owing $25,000 in rent as equally offensive behavior.

A lot of what people imagine politically for this country can't actually happen under the current Democratic party. That's something that I don't see lots of people actually reckoning with. There is no way to do most of the things that some people want to do through the Democratic party.

Because DEFUND THE POLICE has always been the rational thing! - dumb centrist pride in your dead centrist ideas that have never worked for anyone except the handful of people robbing the whole country blind, will be the end of us ALL.

To make common cause with this Administration is to support an affirmatively white supremacist vision of this country. Period. Every corporation. Every Republican. Every influencer. Every Governor. Every evangelical leader. Every voter. Yes. Every voter.

"erstwhile wunderkind" is how white fraudsters in Minnesota get described 😆

Guy was making $275,000 a year since 2016 and he stole $290,000. Seems to me that kind of unnecessary greed is exactly what the Chamber of Commerce stands for.

Strib doesn’t have to swallow every outlandish claim & absurd attack the mayor lays down … and yet.

MPR reporter had to be taken by ambulance after SPPD shot them with 40mm rounds.

You: feds are kidnapping people in St. Paul Strib: Get a load of these protestors acting out www.startribune.com/protesters-c...

A SPPD officer named T Sand said they don't have to listen to him cause he's not their boss anymore

Abolishing ICE is only the beginning. Have you looked at your local cops? .. According to mappingpoliceviolence.us, police kill at least three people per day; from a meta analysis published in NYT, we now know the number could be six or even more.

i just think of that video of her chasing brian o'hara on her scooter demanding answers about davis moturi and he just shuts the door on her. felt very symbolic

I was thinking about the squandered political career of Andrea Jenkins as she fades off into the sunset.

Minneapolis and Minnesota and Hennepin - PLEASE!!!!!!

Typically weird Strib Frey post-election story ignoring clear evidence he lost the Somali vote badly. Precinct 6-3 (Cedar-Riv) went 79% for Frey in 2021 but **87%** for Fateh in 2025. (It wasn’t redistricted.) Frey has courted Somalis, but not story this time. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

Trans people are disproportionately targeted by the carceral system: 1 in 6 trans people have been incarcerated at some point, including nearly half of Black trans people. #TransgenderAwarenessWeek

Want to walk you through this exercise again - when abortion is illegal, who comes to arrest ur daughter because she had an abortion? which local enforcement brings fascism to your door? you know who it is. Now Democrats, tell me why "defunding police" is dumb www.startribune.com/north-dakota...

Camden is an underfunded school in North Minneapolis, and they weren’t able to put on a fall play this year due to lack of funding. Camden Drama Club is a very important space for queer kids who don’t have a lot of safe spaces in their lives, and they need to raise funds to continue. Can you help?
