One thing I think is lost on folks who are not in the fight is how people like Ian raise thousands of dollars, covering rent for dozens of families, and STILL feel like it isn’t enough. I see it in everyone who is lending any amount of help. We are tortured by the thought that we can’t do it all.

Cold Spring has 4300 people

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

I know a lot of people are too young to remember our last clusterfuck in the Middle East, but let me tell you: a Democrat saying something even close to this about The Troops would have been flayed alive on the Senate floor.

i 100% understand that absolutely no one normal wants to go to a city council meeting at 9am on a tuesday in the middle of the shit we are living through. we would ALL rather being doing something else. but if you are able to, you have a chance to make a real difference.

$605.72/$700 thank you so much.

so many people message me and ask “what is the need now? and “are all the needs met?” the needs are endless. we are trying to patch 1000 holes. fuck ice. fuck trump.

"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made." -Minnesota native F. Scott Fitzgerald

So much ICE out there today in South Minneapolis. They’re prowling around harassing schools. Stay frosty, friends

I get that media consolidation is bad, but that ship did sail in the US *several* decades ago, and I'm not sure I understand this thing where I'm supposed to be alarmed that CNN, the network that pioneered being immensely shitty and non-substantive about the news, is being taken over by ideologues.

One of my least favorite things is riding a urine-smelling bus for an hour.

Our Somali neighbors make Minnesota better.

This shows why you can’t trust headlines or press conferences from the Trump administration. We still need people out keeping watch and staying vigilant until every last agent is off of our streets.

If you had told me during any run of “Flavor of Love” that Flav would be out here sponsoring women’s Olympic teams and hyping them in the year 2026, I would have thought you were punking me.

Governor and mayor have completely abandoned us to do this on our own. They are nowhere to be found in the most thorough way I can imagine and any value they try to claim for what the rest of us have done is stolen. Mutual aid is so beautiful and it exposes so many failures and abandonments. 4/?

i dont think i ever shared that preorders are open! really the first book of its kind, the history of the US government’s removal of Indigenous children, from colonization to today

I’m so glad that Obama could be courtside at the NBA All-Star game. It’s a great use of his celebrity and political capital and there’s nowhere else he could’ve showed up in the last 3 months that would’ve made as big of an impact.

Had to drop everything and respond for foot patrol because ICE was circling my kid’s school today at pick up. Slowly circling. These guys are assholes of the highest order and intimidation is their only purpose at this point. And they’re still here. Fuck ‘em.

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

I'm glad @racketmn.com wrote this. I also think the rise of influencers and streamers has forced local journalists to step up, not only in verifying and providing context to disturbing footage, but to double down on distinctive reporting. You can't focus on anything if you're focused on everything.

I am deeply honored to have earned the endorsement of MAPE, in my campaign for State Senate in District 50 (Edina & Bloomington). MAPE members are the heartbeat and the engine of our state, and I am proud to have earned their support. 💙

Not just no but hell no. This is from the same top-down consultant class that gave us EaTo (East Town; don’t even ask).

As a Twin Cities resident I am begging people to see that Jacob Frey is not the hero you want him to be. We've known this for quite awhile.

Tell Frey's CEO buddies to bring back niceride and a non crappy open streets

This is such an important thread. CW for mention of trauma and secondary trauma and mention of human rights violations.

BREAKING: Judge Nancy Brasel, a Trump appointee, has issued a TRO in the Minnesota access-to-counsel case about treatment at Whipple. "It appears that in planning for Operation Metro Surge, the government failed to plan for the constitutional rights of its civil detainees."

Hey NE Neighbors? You know the Corner Coffee Shop, the one on Central across from Pillar? They suck. For lots of reasons. Do not give them your business. Not One of Us. And it’s extra great they have Fuck Ice on their wall. I assumed they liked it but they’re mad about it 🥳

Time for @repangiecraig.bsky.social to lead the effort to repeal the Laken Reilly Act. If you’re serious about being our senator, get moving.

@smith.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com Yesterday Pam Bondi said under oath that there was not a list of observers following ICE. Today Homan said they are investigating agitators and those investigators are not leaving the state. Which is it?

What was that about “security teams” remaining until “agitators” go away? That sounds like sticking around to terrorize citizens.

Homan still calling observers "agitators" saying they are "doxxing" law enforcement. Saying he doesn't want to see any more bloodshed. The only one doing the killing is #ICE. EVERY case they have brought for "agitators" has been thrown out. #TheOccupation

Listening to the Homan press conference and I've realized he sounds too similar to my terrible boss at my first job out of college. Anyway I'll believe anything's over when I see it.

Homan has the speech patterns of an abuser down pat.

Not one mention from #Homan on conditions at Whipple & other Concentration Camps. #Minneapolis and #Minnesota was a training ground and test. Wake up America. You are next #TheOccupation #ICEOut

Today, ICE engaged in a dangerous, high-speed chase in Saint Paul. Their recklessness and disdain for the safety of our residents led directly to a multi-car collision, even if ICE vehicles weren't the ones to hit other cars.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

At some point in the past day, the @mprnews.org headline was something like "Walz expects big drawdown in federal agents, teen refugee held overnight in hotel room by ICE agents." And I think that really captures so much of what is happening in Minnesota.

If Cub grocery store has not done commercials featuring 50 cent’s monster hit “In da club” with “club”changed to “cub,” their entire marketing division needs to be fired

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over Andover again at work. “What is the problem we are trying to solve?”

I'm a Columbia Heights resident. ICE is still here, terrorizing, breaking laws, harassing people, causing chaos. Tell your family and friends. No matter what this administration's minions report: Nothing Has Changed.

Would be great for @ag.state.mn.us or like SPPD or MPD to act on clear violations of state law

ICE is out harassing folks all over Lowry and near Penn Ave N.

“Elizabeth” is hard AF, and I co-sign her message.

Hey, @klobuchar.senate.gov & @smith.senate.gov, please tell your co-worker here that Minneapolis wants abolition for ICE. And probably also Homeland Security. Have a staffer read this: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/accountabi...

Part of the reason we’re hearing how disorganized Whipple is and that people are getting “lost” is because they are avoiding official records & process.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.
