Beautiful new memorial on Central Ave honoring Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and all those murdered by ICE. At this very spot someone was taken the morning Tom Homan announced a “draw down” in Minnesota. To this day, ICE continues to operate here.

A cop in Wisconsin used Flock to search his ex’s license plate information 200 times. Months later, the officer assigned to investigate him was criminally charged for doing the same thing. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Nobody knows how much we owe to #LivableLyndale people who spent years clawing and scratching. It's easy to take infrastructure for granted. When things work well, you assume it got built that way because it just made sense. But it's often the case people had to fight for it.

It gets worse: “David Brouillette has a history of terrifying and violent behavior, according to those relatives. They accuse him of attacking women in his life over the years, and one shared a voicemail with the AP from last winter in which he told her that he thought someone should slit her throat

Hell yeah! Almost seven years after Theodore Ferrara was killed by a driver on Lyndale, and we started advocating for serious change, we got there. It's not a perfect design (there are a lot of things I'd do differently), but it's light-years better than the 2019 status quo.

If we want to talk about extremists ruining the city, we need to talk about how a conservative minority of residents and a ton of suburbanites have held MPLS politics hostage the continued extreme islamophobia directed towards our elected officials is not just dangerous, it’s a threat of violence

On this day 6 months ago in Minneapolis: Signs of resistance to ICE on utility poles, side of businesses and on schools seen 6 days after Renee Good was killed. Alex Pretti was killed 9 days later. chaddavis.photography/sets/ice-in-...

Every single trans woman could have told you this was coming and many, in fact, did.

My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.

Maine Public Radio's coverage of the killing by ICE this morning. It sounds like ICE is once again claiming that the victim tried to run them over, so just as a reminder, every time they've claimed this, it's been a lie. www.mainepublic.org/maine/2026-0...

Basically anybody credible who has real understanding of what happens during & when transitioning out of fascist regimes will tell anyone who will listen that local & regional leadership is what counts most; whichever seats closest to your daily life (city, district, congress, gov) will be critical.

In Minnesota, girls sell lemonade on the street to help their sisters arrested by ICE. Stephen Miller’s goons are very much still here. Sign reads, “Please help us raise money for my sisters because they were arrested by ICE” & this has been confirmed by trusted community members.

Here's why you may not know that: 64% of Memphis residents are Black. There are other reasons, but mostly that.

I’m sorry, this is a massive skill issue if your business on LYNDALE Avenue was affected by construction EIGHT BLOCKS AWAY on Hennepin. You’re on a whole ‘nother arterial street. Maybe it was you shit-talking the area for years as unsafe. www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

As the parent of two elementary aged kids, I am acutely aware of the importance of ensuring pedestrians do what they can to stay safe & assume every driver will try to kill them. But it shouldn’t be this way. We can and should work on systemic fixes to ensure safety for all road users. 3/3

The neighborhood character being protected here is the sound of cars crashing together.

This shit is so dumb. I don’t want bike lanes on university so that only bikers come to my bar. I want them because it would make university a part of the community and not just a little highway. More modes means better sidewalk experience, which is better for business.

You would think that being against mass surveillance and opposing contracting with drone companies that work with ICE would be a no-brainer in Minneapolis after we were occupied in Operation Metro Surge. But yet, this is still being pushed forward. This is why local politics matter. Get involved!

In the absence of foreign media, doctors are valuable witnesses to the Israeli genocidal war in Daniele Rugo’s documentary 'Life Support'

What we already know is horrific. Imagine how bad discovery would be if the government is willing to pay our fees (something the government doesn’t readily do) just to avoid it.

My partner and his co-workers unanimously voted to form a union... And then Sony, the companies new owner, announced they're closing the warehouse. The bands they serve are largely punk bands who need to know their fans don't support union busting. Please share and support the Kings Road workers!

10 years ago today Philando Castile was murdered by St Anthony Police Officer Jeronimo Yanez, who never faced criminal consequences and walks free to this day. As do his colleagues who when they showed up didn’t render medical aid to Philando, choosing to console a crying Officer Yanez instead.

Looks like Mayor Z's pied a terre tax is not collapsing the real estate market or causing the wealthy to flee Manhattan after all. Indeed, the opposite. Who could have possibly imagined this scenario? www.realtor.com/news/trends/...

400 masked cowardly Patriot Front bros walking through D.C. once, then fleeing ain’t shit, peeps. They are a tiny fetid drop in the American bucket. Remember Minneapolis at -20F. We are bigger, braver, and stronger. By a mile.

This is what I can’t get over: he is actually smart enough to know what he’s doing. The cruelty is the point, and he wants to get to higher office playing with people’s lives.

Minneapolis Police didn’t intervene in any ICE murders or kidnappings during Operation Metro Surge. And now Mayor Frey announced he’s ordering Minneapolis Police to intervene and arrest people who are homeless or using drugs, giving ICE another pretext to kidnap them under the Laken Riley Act.

Today, the City of Minneapolis and Mayor Frey announced a strategy that I consider the city’s War on Drugs. 1/ www.startribune.com/minneapolis-...

I am proud to be a @twincitiesdsa.org member, and one of two Democratic Socialists serving in the Minnesota Senate. I have the joy of representing District 62 – the heart of South Minneapolis, and I'm honored to have earned our DSA chapter’s endorsement in my re-election campaign.

In fact, this is part of the reason there’s constant hand-wringing in our local media. Because week after week, DSAers are tying to get shit done. And legacy Dems and incumbent power brokers hate it! They spend all their time bitching instead of doing the actual work.

It’s all false to me and my lived experience. But what do I know? I only live in a city that has elected DSAers to the city council and I see what they do. You can fault their ideas but not work ethic and call to action. They are the most active members on the council!

I know people are tired of hearing so much about who is funding candidates and I get it, but when PACs are pouring millions and millions of dollars into a democratic primary, you have to ask “who is trying to buy a senate seat and why do they believe *this* candidate will carry out their agenda?”

The trans sports ban are almost completely an invention of the media, conservative and mainstream. it has been years of lies, of shoddy fact checking on just completely false conservative claims, years of phony concern trolling.

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

Trans lives matter. Trans people will always be here. I’m sending a ton of love to every trans person. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️ I’m sickened to see the deliberate, coordinated, & federal assault on the lives of trans people. The SCOTUS ruled 6-3 to uphold state bans on trans athletes, but it doesn’t require them. 1/

I don't think people understand the degree to which outlets like The Atlantic and The New York Times set back trans rights with second-rate reporting that doesn't stand up now, let alone in the future. They have failed at the most basic journalistic duties.

"A 3-Day-Old Baby. An IT Student. A Missing Father. Three Stories That Show the True Cost of Trump’s War on Iran" While there is much talk of who ‘won’ and who ‘lost,’ it’s always the people who did not choose war who pay the ultimate price. Zeteo reports:

We are in a full on dictatorship, rivaling the most entrenched ones in the world. Anti ICE activists, who printed a zine, are labeled “terrorist” and sentenced to 30-100 years in federal prison. By this metric we’re all targets. Genuinely chilling. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Congrats to @bradlander.bsky.social who came to Minneapolis during the heart of Operation Metro Surge to help us resist ICE’s illegal occupation of our City. Can’t wait until he’s in congress where he’ll work to abolish ICE.

Minneapolis centrists would rather spend their time fighting for police horses over making sure your sidewalks are safe to travel on in the winter. Give the people meaningful government. It’s what they crave.

Centrism has a deficits of ideas and convictions and it’s nice more voters are waking up. Locally in Minneapolis, the centrists are cheerleading data centers and expect us to keep giving police more money and never ask any questions about it.

Generally speaking, polls have shown the Democratic Party's problem is not being seen as too woke, but weak and ineffective. Judging by tonight's primary results, Democratic Primary voters are intent on fixing this www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

On June 19th, 1865, the last enslaved people of African descent still held in human bondage received news of their freedom in Galveston Texas—a full two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. That delay was a deliberate choice by the white enslavers in their desperate attempt to hold onto power.

Right to repair is such a slam dunk good idea—across many industries!—that it polls at like 85/15 in support every single time. Which is why capital interests hate it—they don't want you to have agency and security, unless you pay them for it.

this is the result of antifascist resistance, in Minneapolis, Newark, and other cities and to protests against these facilities across the country. as Marisa says, it's a huge victory.

Israeli soldiers shot seven-year-old Rayyan Abu al-Ajeen in his father's arms and mocked his father's pleas as he cried for his dying son. The father says they were in the part of Gaza designated as "safe" for civilians during the "ceasefire." mondoweiss.net/2026/06/a-ga... #Palestine #Israel

Ian is trustworthy, and there are going to be people among the Minneapolis 15 who don't qualify for the Federal Public Defender and can't find a pro bono defense. Part of what the Feds are counting on is crushing defendants under massive legal costs to force them to flip and/or plead. Fight back.

Between this and the “cars will not replace us” protest sign I suggest a self imposed moratorium on rich white people adapting protest slogans for their pet peeves.

Human Rights Watch has released a comprehensive report detailing human rights abuses by the government during this winter’s immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota, which the group alleges also violates international human rights treaties that the U.S. is signed onto.
