I will just keep repeating. I have never never never seen anything like this. 30 years of reporting.

💯 Every. Fucking. Word.

Great article. archive.is/BLcmi

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

It's STFU Friday. Refresh the script 👇

I am the descendant of African Slaves and Irish peasants who is studying to become an academic in one of the hubs of the world. That happened because people fought for and one the impossible one fucking step at a time. Do not tell me there is not a better world to be made.

THIS. The regime is forging its opposition. In record time.

ICE actions are not a radical break but an intensification and extension of bipartisan consensus on the need for punitive immigration policy. Since its post-9/11 creation, people have warned that the tools given to ICE would eventually be turned on citizens.

This is the way.

These are our friends. And, to me, this is a No Kings rally.

"Amanda reported on tactical fashion. It is harder to pull your hair if it is in a neat mom bun. Light layers keep you prepared to flee. She’ll find out where the soccer coaches get their whistles."

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Last night, The Minneapolis Federation of Educators Local 59 signed on to the call for a Jan 23 shutdown. That brings total labor support to: the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1005, SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, CWA Local 7250, St. Paul Federation of Educators Local 28, and the MFE 59

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

Yes. It really is.

Minnesota legend Charles M. Schulz knew what made a great citizen. “Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call ‘American Virtues’ who lack this faith in our country.”

The Supreme Court only cleared the way for Kavanaugh Stops four months ago and ICE now openly engages in violent racial profiling, snatching anyone who looks non-white and treating them as presumptively guilty of a crime. Remarkable how quickly our liberties can be crushed when courts go along.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Hey, fellow Southern Californians - Please amplify this wide and far.

"In a dictatorship...once this process begins, it is hard to stop. If they don't like strongman rule, they think, they can just elect someone else the next time. This misses the point. If you help a strongman come to power, you are eliminating democracy. You burn that bridge behind you. 1/2

The gay rams are gonna live rent free in my head

The way I have been soothing my heart about the Torahs being burned in Mississippi is by going over my memories of the way @kiese.bsky.social's Long Division made me feel about the spiritual and political potential of Jewish life in Mississippi. Maybe it help you, too.

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

Absolutely brilliant journalism.

Of course, it's also not lost on me that moms are doing the bulk of the work in these unions of care. Because if there's one thing I know, it's: "Other countries have social safety nets. The US has women." bsky.app/profile/madd...

"My deepest fear is not that we fail to survive this moment—it’s that we survive it only to return to the status quo that made it possible. That we exhale, declare victory, and leave in place the Electoral College, the filibuster, the gerrymandered maps, the money-soaked elections..."

Another video "showed a young man, who identified himself as Native American, dragged from his car by ICE agents. The man was detained by ICE shortly after he and his aunt were stopped and questioned in the parking lot of a Hy-Vee in Robbinsdale..." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

"I'm not in Minnesota -- what can I do to help?" A list of ideas!

BREAKING REPORTS: Ice has blocked off an entire street and is going door to door in Minneapolis. This has been also reported by @veronicadelacruztv.bsky.social ICE is not meant to be an occupying army! We demand #ICEOUTforGood!

Common Sense, published 250 years ago today.

The guy who first dressed as Portland Frog, a major symbol of our protest and then other national protests, has been arrested while peacefully protesting. Prints of this painting by Simran Gleason are being sold to support his defense. www.simrangleason.com/prints/p/por... #pdx #protest

“A crowd of hundreds also gathered at Ocean Beach in San Francisco to form a human banner spelling ‘IT WAS MURDER — ICE OUT.’” www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti... #ICEOutForGood

I’m at an anti-ICE protest in Encinitas, California. Protesters have gathered on both sides of 10 lanes of traffic. Hard to get more Californian than that.

Good stuff from @askpaddypower.bsky.social

EXCLUSIVE: Lucy Dacus talks to Rolling Stone about singing "Bread and Roses" at Zohran Mamdani's inauguration: "It’s such a beautiful sentiment. The idea that you’re not just fighting for your sustenance — you’re fighting for your joy.”

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

Taunting is not a justification for arbitrary executions. Collective guilt is contrary to the rule of the law. Resisting the state— even if unlawful and prosecutable—doesn’t justify a death sentence. Our colonial ancestors rejected that agents of the state are absolutely immune for their wrongdoing.

Find a local anti-ICE protest this weekend.

How many women have died with “fucking bitch” ringing in their ears? Don’t let the misogyny get erased here

if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed. everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears: archive.is/ur35j

Sorry, but this just has tremendous meme potential.

Purely factual description of events

As ever, beautiful, powerful, and relevant work from Brandon.
