how’s it goin? oh, ya know.

Another sharp reminder today as a very kind @cedrickfrazier.bsky.social volunteer called about precinct caucuses - it still seems crazy to think about caucusing, but we all see why its important to get a solid Hennepin County Attorney like Frazier, *especially** in these times right???

Keep calling Tim every dang day (651) 201-3400

This was honestly one of the worst corporate MLK day messages I’ve ever seen. It made me want to scream cry and throw up. But instead I will continue to do what I can to help my neighbors and send an internet hug to every sane MN who screams at ICE.

I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...

I made the mistake of talking to a non-online friend about the 3-day Simon debacle yesterday. She almost cried thinking about the hours patrolling, how hard she’s working to make get formula and diapers to those who need it, plus the constant fear - and then 60k for the state DFL to do what????

Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped from Minneapolis. He was my neighbor and he died in an American concentration camp. He was not "illegal," he was a human being made in the image of the divine. May his memory be a blessing, and may the rest of us fight like hell until we stop this brutality.

“Just obey the agents! Just show them your ID whether or not you are legally obligated to!”

The NYT reaches so hard for this mythical “everyman”. Listen I grew up in a town of 800 and we didn’t visit the bar at 10 am for good advice or reasonable opinions 🥴😂

Minnesota, make his name known

Instead of giving your money to Simon Rosenberg's vague plea to fund the DFL for vague reasons, please give to shelter our unsheltered Indigenous relatives TODAY during this very cold cold snap.

Lolololol national dems picking fights with people in MN literally just trying to keep ourselves and our neighbors alive, like whyyyyyyyyyy. How many times do people have to be told not to just parachute in and instead listen to people on the ground

“I’ll take my horchata warm cuz fuck ice” But it’s the cubes that make this art.

The most popular sled at today’s Art Sledding event in Minneapolis.

Protect our actual neighbors plz

We actually have DEI weather in Minnesota and I’m afraid the only way to stop it from spreading to the rest of the country is to stand outside in wet clothes 😢

We had more people for our first DJ bike ride in 2022 than are attending this protest. Absolute buffoonery.

I am not feeling good today and I am not feeling good about today either. Fuck these fascists.

I'm mortified, ashamed, embarrassed, insulted, and not surprised that the DFL is fundraising off of this crisis to pay for TV ads in October. Meanwhile calls & emails from desperate local party volunteers go unanswered on how the hell are we gonna have safe & accessible precinct caucuses on Feb 3.

Mischief Toys is a plaintiff in the lawsuit against the Trump administration seeking to hold his tariffs unconstitutional 🤔🤔🤔

I don’t know how to communicate how fucking awful and surreal this aspect is.

Angie Craig is now arguing for the brilliant reform of ... making ICE wear body cameras. Angie, Jonathan Ross filmed himself killing a woman on his own phone and released it to the press.

Need a rogue Clippy for every MN politician to say “are you talking about a MURDER?” When they yet again scold us for “taking the bait”

I didn’t know we had flutes and honks. I quite like this, it makes us sound like angry geese which feels very right

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours. please keep sharing with your networks.

The Walz response to all this is worthless; but it's a political education opportunity to affirm: "Do something!" doesn't mean "send in the guard or cops to stop ICE" ...because that's not going to happen. "Do something!" means stuff like an eviction moratorium; listen to @jchavezmpls.bsky.social:

In the buildup to our last civil war did people have ride their horse into St Paul to present on library services and forming research questions because my brain is struggling

You know, I don't love hearing a reporter talk about "no violence yet" when the federal government just shot someone, then tear gassed everyone and continues to tear gas everyone.

Have you had violence used on you or firearms pointed at you by ICE or Border Patrol in the last eight days? Are you willing to talk about it? Contact me securely on Signal. I'm open to questions. signal.me#eu/1bUvkuaFR...

MN to ICE rn

Please watch this whole thing. Please share to all your normie connections.

Fairly large crowd on the sidewalk in Lyn Lake sharing war stories about the federal agents who got out of their car, then decided the crowd was too big, almost immediately retreated. Agents tossed a gas canister as a parting gift. This happened shortly before I arrived.

Right as the press conference kicks off, 🧊 tried to break into Wrecktangle and threw tear gas

‘Because I was Latino, that’s it’: ICE rams car in south Minneapolis while profiling driver sahanjournal.com/news/ice-ram...

I know it feels insane to talk about caucusing right now, but think about who we’re seeing out there - we need more Elliott Paynes, more Doron Clarks, more Brad Tabkes, more Zaynab Mohameds, more Ilhan Omars. We **cannot afford** to have more Angie Craigs voting to hurt us. I’m signed up for Jan 20

ICE rammed into a car at 34th and Park And then began to question the immigration status of U.S. Citizen Latino’s they crashed into. They also deployed chemical irritants into the eyes of the press. Abolish ICE now.

Now that I think of it, a great term for what you're describing is "encapsulation." That's a term from insect immune system response, in which foreign matter inside insect tissues is surrounded and cut off so it can't create damage. Really appropriate for this!

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

As someone whose tailbone will literally never recover from a bad slip and fall, I suggest ICE just save their asses and get the fuck out of here 🤗

I know some of us wanted to believe Klobuchar could be pushed left but I cannot hold my nose to vote for someone who is using this fucking moment in history to say ICE would be fine if they collaborated with MPD to rip families apart. I can’t.

Thats about 5x as many ICE agents than what was sent to Chicago area. Chicago metro area is about 2.5x larger than the Twin Cities metro.

Jason has been on the street protecting community members every day. This is the first time I’ve heard him issue a warning for folks at risk of deportation to stay home 😔

I love this so much. I love this place. I love us. And they will never break us. Never.

A group of ppl in Minneapolis made signs w/ the names & ages of other people killed by ICE to lay at Renee Good's memorial in order to uplift people whose deaths aren't making national/ international news the same way. This is to honor what Renee fought for & highlight that they, too, were Good.

Overheard in the crowd, a mother explaining to her young child who is holding a cymbal: "Do you remember? This is the same road we marched on for George Floyd. Another man who was killed."

For real these assholes could at least stop calling ***actual murder*** bait.

Reminding people once again that property damage, noise, and blocking roadways is **not violence**. Abduction, murder, chemical weapons, and all of the ICE behavior being protested is violence.

Listen I’ve always blocked AI lovers but these fuckers who are posting AI bullshit about Minneapolis and feeding misinformation instead of just using the HUNDREDS of real photos and videos from witnesses and journalists? I wish my block would knock their fucking phone from their hands

ICE targeting daycares and schools specifically is 1) obviously fucked up and infuriating but also 2) what exactly do they think is gonna happen? Like can you imagine a faster way for on the fence or uninvolved people to get mad and active than putting our fucking babies in danger?????
