Reading that Hennepin deputies are ordering protesters to disperse at Whipple or be arrested for unlawful assembly and creating a public nuisance. Remember that when a certain sheriff runs for reelection.

Every accusation is an admission

This list keeps growing. There are links to the announcements. I've been leaving likes & comments on some of them. (A person could also make a point of giving them business.) (Some businesses are closed but not on the list as they don't do social media.) bringmethenews.com/minnesota-li...

Choosing civil disobedience in reaction to unjust violence across our state right now at the hands of ICE. Watching clergy put their faith into action, man.

Wow, it's sunny and already 11ºF warmer than when I woke up, it's only -10ºF right now! #mnwx

All power to the Whipple protestors. Nonviolent does not mean non-confrontational.

That is exactly what it is.

FYI - Bloomington PD on scene, not Mpls PD

Was talking to a family member about this last night. Minnesota's upstanding is so effective in part because we started preparing *last spring*. Then an additional round of prep when we saw what was happening in Chicago. Wherever you are, start building now.

we started an ice watch patrol group for our neighborhood elementary school in october

Hey, Minnesota.

Remember it isn’t just Minneapolis. It’s STP, outstate, the burbs. This whole state is under siege.

I'm not a religious person but their faith is meaningful.

definitely not sobbing as i sit here and watch this

Local clergy and clergy from around the country. @jackjenkins.me regularly reports on religion and politics in the US and has been reporting from Minnesota in recent days.

In support of today’s ICE Out General Strike in Minnesota, I will not be participating in CBS News’s Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil.

“Accused pedophile president’s administration continues to kidnap children” should be the headline every day

"The officers didn't even keep the Happy Meal toy for themselves, even though they wanted to really, really bad."

There is marching.

Schools in Saint Paul were closed Tuesday and Wednesday as teachers prepared to do online and in-person teaching simultaneously due to safety concerns about ICE. Kids in my daughter’s school refer to those two days off as Evil Break. As in, “So what did you do over Evil Break?”

I assume protestors are making an effort to congregate upwind…

Ah yes. Just what we all learned as kids to trust masked men trying to get kids into vehicles with tinted out windows.

so many clergy coming to protest ICE that they're overflowing the airport sidewalk we are going to win

The existence of this agency, staffed the way it is today, is just completely incompatible with a democratic society.

Ironically these kinds of threats do more to radicalize opposition to ICE tactics than they do to stop people from recording ICE.

(MINNEAPOLIS) - Federal judges in Minnesota have several times in recent weeks rejected arrest warrants for people protesting a surge of immigration officers in that state, finding that federal agents do not have sufficient evidence .. @ms.now www.ms.now/news/minneso...

Seems almost quaint at this point, but Patel and Bondi both testified under oath at their confirmation hearings that this would not happen.

Thousands outside Terminal 1 at the Minneapolis airport now.

My “US Border Patrol are experts in dealing with children” t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

Short of getting caught orchestrating a coup or assassination, this is absolutely the core case of what you expel an ambassador for.

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.

these temperatures are actually normal for this time of year. people here are used to it. it's not strange for someone to go outside in a t-shirt when it's thirty below to check the mail. so I could do with less of your judgement and with more of your help getting my penis unfrozen from the sidewalk

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

I get it but all the literature says 1. All reps overestimate the representativeness of callers 2. The number of calls needed to worry a politician is really low 3. All reps tend to overestimate the conservatism of their district but calls start to adjust that. Slow boring of hard boards

This is a good reminder that I have to stop making so many excuses and make more calls myself. It's the only person I can control. I will say it would be cool if you'd do some too, but the only person who can control that is you.

no matter how hard Greg Bovino tries to exude rugged masculinity he always comes off like Don Knotts in a Portlandia sketch

Not exaggerating when I say that the collective action in Minnesota will be studied for generations if not centuries to come

They deployed ten times as many agents to a city 40% the size and then had them drive around in military convoys publicly snatching random pedestrians before launching tear gas. Also, they shot a lady in the face

From the Twin Cities Geeks Facebook group, shared by Michael Wallevand: "If you're looking for something more punk to show your solidarity with other humans. I borrowed a bit of the DIY punk ethos and the famous Black Flag logo (and one of their song titles) to create this."

Energy firms, including oil companies, are trying to stop the war on wind power in exchange for a more stable and predictable business environment. What’s at stake? The ability of the U.S. to meet surging electricity demand, industry groups and analysts say. https://wapo.st/49RZFIP

Thousands and thousands and thousands of Minneapolitans putting aside their jobs, lives, their personal safety and comfort, and all their petty differences and turning up in staggering numbers, with no guarantee this nightmare will end in a week or a month or a year. They’re all heroes
