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.

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.

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.

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.

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’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.

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.

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

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.

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.
