Tiny Pants tossed from bar. Don't let them rest. Don't let them eat. Make them quit. #ICEOUT #Bovino #PedoProtectionForce lasvegassun.com/news/2026/fe...

I am escorting the Crespo-Gonzalez family, including their seven year old daughter, back to Oregon now. Out of respect for the family, additional information is not being shared at this time.

I cannot tell you how many landlords view themselves as a subjugated underclass. I spent years in Facebook groups for MN landlords and they would earnestly talk about how they were being discriminated against and how they were basically doing charity by renting out shitboxes above market.

https://www.mprnews.org/story/2026/02/05/minneapolis-increases-funding-for-rental-assistance-by-1m Yesterday the City Council voted to allocate $1 million to provide emergency rental assistance to families who are struggling because of the ongoing occupation from federal immigration agents.

We’ve seen lots of reports of legal observers being arrested in North Minneapolis, South Minneapolis, and Eden Prairie. Exercising your first amendment right to observe is not a crime. This is exactly why congress can’t give another penny to DHS.

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

We reviewed more than 100 Minnesota license plates attached to immigration enforcement vehicles in recent weeks. We found that nearly 60% were not registered with the state of Minnesota, including the Chevy Tahoe that federal agent Jonathan Ross traveled in the day he fatally shot Renee Good.

Happening Now: Six people have chained themselves together outside Morrill Hall at the University of Minnesota, saying they won’t leave until President Rebecca Cunningham meets with them and declares the campus a sanctuary and ends all cooperation with ICE.

Mamdani out there one-upping Governor Tim Walz:

Texas AG Ken Paxton has announced legal action against the Houston area Screwston Antifascist Committee, alleging commission of terrorism and doxing. Their account has been quiet for some time, but this was one of their last posts — identifying a neo-Nazi.

There are more reasons than ever for Minnesotans to protect their online privacy. I encourage you to make use of the powerful new MN Consumer Data Privacy Act to protect your data and minimize your digital footprint. Visit privacymn.com to learn more and get started.

There's exactly one normal man left on planet Earth.

As they say, history may not repeat itself, but it often rhymes. I stumbled upon John Denver in the Mitchell Trio's 1966 recording of "Your Friendly Liberal Neighborhood Ku Klux Klan." It speaks to so many things happening today that it gives me new respect for John Denver.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer. (I didn’t take the video, the dog’s person did)

As a Christian, and millennial mom, standing publicly with someone who is *kidnapping toddlers and preschoolers* IS where you stand. There’s no credit for being privately upset. THE DAY LIAM WAS KIDNAPPED she said “We are the party of parents, the party of families. Trump has led the way on that”

If you follow clowns, all you'll build is a circus.

@pabloreports.bsky.social: How comfortable are you with DHS keeping watchlists on American protesters? CONGRESSMAN VAN ORDEN: Do they have watchlists on American protesters? @pabloreports.bsky.social: Yeah...Ken Klippenstein and some other people have been covering it. VAN ORDEN: [walks away]

More than 200 people are outside The Graduate by Hilton on the University of Minnesota campus for another noisemaking demonstration to protest ICE agents reportedly staying at the hotel. 📸: Elliot Hughes

look, telling people to break the law is irresponsible and unethical. But so is telling people not to break the law.

Seattle:

ICE surge news: Minneapolis Public Schools has extended *optional* distance learning until April 6.

To recap the day: This morning one friend was harassed by masked/armed Fed agents for legally observing. This evening another friend was stabbed by a MAGA psycho. As I type this my wife is notarizing documents for people who are afraid of being kidnapped. This is not OK @governorwalz.mn.gov

It would be really easy for @mark-carney.bsky.social to bring these people to Canada

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

Bringing natural consequence to people who have abused their power with barbarous corruption and lawless brutality and cruelty and murder is not an extreme position. It shouldn’t even be a position. It should be a given. It should be a requirement of holding office.

If you won’t say this, you should not hold public office

This meshes with what we learned in that recent hearing where the Asst US Attorney said "the system sucks:" ICE is wrongfully arresting hundreds if not thousands of legal, documented immigrants, and having to respond to their demands to be let out is breaking the federal courts in Minnesota

Hey we do national night outs in the summer. Nothing like national ice out days in the winter.

This is an amazing essay and hits many important points. youtube.com/watch?v=i2g_...

if you're running some blue wave blue heart vote blue account, everyone will see through a transparent attempt to dismiss real criticism with a fake mic drop. your bad faith incredulity that someone could just genuinely not be in romantic love your candidate will correctly not be taken seriously.

no amount of "you just don't like kamala harris because of [stuff that's not her politics]" is going to make her politics more appealing. it's not meaningful to anyone who already doesn't share her politics. get adjusted to this now because it will be a rough two and a half years if you don't.

Last I knew, Hennepin is the only district court in the state doing in-person eviction court dates. They've said it's easier to administer than Zoom hearings. But we now have an impossible choice for BIPOC tenants: if they show up, ICE may grab them. Don't show and they're evicted by default.

Minneapolis residents are trying a new tactic to slow and deter federal agents from entering city neighborhoods. Called filter blockades, they’re pop-up block parties in the middle of city streets, and they’ve already earned the ire of Trump border czar Tom Homan (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

This right here... Fear mongering is the point.

Yeah...

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

NEW: It doesn’t happen often, but local law enforcement can arrest and charge federal agents. Legal experts say there’s a moral obligation to at least try to hold federal immigration officers accountable when they violate the Constitution and the law.

Finally got a new phone... The Pixel 6a had finally come to EOL for use as a daily driver. Immediately flashed GrapheneOS on the new one. One more step in finishing the deGoogling project.

and this is why a key part of my platform is to give every trans women a mech suit

This is the type of letter you write and make public when you’ve discovered that the CIA is up to no good and can’t be trusted—and you have no confidence the people in charge care.

Sitting U.S. senators don't make letters such as this one public unless they feel a paper trail is needed to inform the public. Not great. Really not great. h/t Sahil Kapur

“There are book challenges; that is not new. What is happening now is brazen breaking of protocol on a scope that has never been seen like this.” @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social @la-cac.org @oif.bsky.social @uabookbans.bsky.social deadline.com/2026/02/the-...

A bizarre number of people have stepped up to defend Julie Le. What you see in that transcript is an attorney who chose to do evil work—deporting people for ICE then moving over to DOJ in early Jan. specifically to fight these habeas petitions—being called to the carpet. She's desperate, not heroic.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things
