Do not donate to the DFL. Donate to a GoFundMe for rent or immigration fees, donate to a food shelf — use your dollars to help the community, not the state party apparatus. The DFL isn’t gonna save us from ICE. We are all we have

I feel like people who are telling folks in Minnesota not to take the bait so Trump doesn’t invoke the Insurrection Act have a lot more good faith in an aging cruel dipshit who is being feed a steady diet of AI slop by scheming viziers who dream of invoking the Insurrection Act than I do.

For @wired.com, I wrote about how misogyny and homophobia have been used by the right to wage a campaign to destroy Renee Good www.wired.com/story/the-ca...

Hey #Minneapolis folks interested in #TTRPGs, I think we could all use something to look forward to, so I am going to run Beyond the Wall & Other Adventures the evening of Friday January 30th in NE MPLS near the border with Columbia Heights. Time will be 7pm-11ish & I have 5 player slots open. 1/3

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.

democrats are obsessed with asking questions like theyre the g-d riddler when the nation is demanding leaders who stand up and make assertions.

I wrote about The Tantrum State and living in it. Personally I do not care for it very much. defector.com/fascists-are...

And if you haven’t gotten started yet, there’s an online training coming up in 45 minutes that’s well worth your time, even if you never end up patrolling on ICE Watch: zoom.us/webinar/regi... These are not recorded but there will be another training on Monday (will link in the next post)

If you’re in the Twin Cities and want to do the most minimal thing to annoy ICE, drive the fucking speed limit. These goons get so angry when 20 is plenty.

This thread is an example of someone not doing their research before reporting. Trust locals, not whatever this is. If you want to donate to local reporting, donate to @racketmn.com or @sahanjournal.bsky.social. the Star Tribune doesn't need your money.

@klobuchar.senate.gov @governorwalz.mn.gov did she take the "bait"? You both think this is her fault? Stand up for your constituents or resign!

Amy says: I hear your horror stories but don't take the bait! I'll vote to fully fund ICE anyway. World history has few examples of leaders utterly betraying their own people like this.

"Warships" from the final Foetus album HALT hits hard as fuck today. jgthirlwell.bandcamp.com/track/warships I can see the smoky plumes on the horizon And the warships just seem to multiply And their crucifixes look like iron crosses I will push back hard against them til i die

Amy, you need to SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT until ICE is abolished. You have that power. Please use it.

You know that if Puppykiller lady and GI Junior had picked up a dangerous criminal in the Minnesotan Occupation they would have held a parade through the streets. "Look at the bad killer drug dealer we got!" The fact that they haven't despite detaining over 2000 people tells you everything.

Everyone asking what Walz is supposed to do other than scolding us: Emergency eviction moratoriums now! Like right fucking now!

Mpls City Council eviction moratorium resolution TODAY — council meeting at 2pm Needs nine votes to pass. Find/contact your Councilmember: www.minneapolismn.gov/government/c... And tell Walz, too! mn.gov/governor/connect/contact-us/contact-form.jsp 651-201-3400

In the middle of the ICE occupation, the City of Minneapolis is still evicting its poorest, most vulnerable residents. Over peanuts. 86% of public housing residents are BIPOC, 57% disabled, avg income of ~$16k. Throwing our neediest neighbors out into the teeth of winter, exposed to ICE. Disgusting.

Fascists are pathetic. defector.com/fascists-are...

Yay, they’re gonna “reform” ICE just like they reformed all the police departments after George Floyd’s murder and [countless murders before it, stretching back countless years]. Reforming the police: they always do it and it always works!

Another thing you should know about the Twin Cities, if you're not here, is that while the mayor and governor tell us to stay calm on TV, our council members and other local electeds are on the street patrolling and protecting neighbors, doing mutual aid, and otherwise serving the community.

fuck nisswa. i wanna hear from the republicans and conservative DFLers who live in minneapolis who are being radicalized as we speak. who the fuck cares about nisswa. they’re 100 fucking miles away. what the fuck do they know

@klobuchar.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov if Chuck won’t do the job you must. You have to do something. It’s time to do something dramatic

On my morning walk today I saw this one, which is one of my favs, on a power box. See many poster designs here: defend612.com/art/

THESE are the electeds I trust. These and some others. The mayor can kick rocks. Pay attention to who is speaking from where.

We're on the streets protecting kids and families and the best he can do is: don't protest violently. What an utter disappointment. Minnesotans: you're on your own.

Notably, they’re both being accused of doing things they didn’t do, so they sold us out for nothing. They’re still being painted with the same brush as if they had radically met the moment when they failed to that

@klobuchar.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com @smith.senate.gov

He’s talking about “reform” literally at the moment community members are gathering in N Minneapolis where ICE has just shot another person (or two). He says ICE brutalizes communities but can’t bring himself to say we should get rid of it. Run all these calculating cowards out of office.

As neighborhoods stand up to ICE, restaurants, bars, and coffee shops are collecting donations, handing out whistles, and acting as gathering sites for volunteers and observers. racketmn.com/with-the-twi...

It's cold enough that #thedustballs are tolerating each other's presence & kinda snugging on a dirty towel I used the other day as a place to set my boots on to change out the laces... #catsky #rescuecats

The Twin Cities is under paramilitary occupation and my former boss, @smith.senate.gov, is doing nothing about it.

ICE is responsible for 60-75% of the total shootings in MPLS so far in 2026 while being responsible for the first (i think only, but that could be different now) homicide of the year. this isn’t making us safer, @governorwalz.mn.gov, @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social, @ag.state.mn.us, @ilhanmn.bsky.social

Governor Walz with another strongly worded speech. Unless he has action, I don't care. Unless he has eviction moratorium, rent relief, support at HCMC, Minneapolis Schools, he can stop with the speeches. How about state aid, not just mutual aid? What are YOU doing @governorwalz.mn.gov

If you've laughed at any of the videos of the idiot fascists unable to deal with Minnesota winter (and oh boy have I ever... repeatedly), donate here so our unhoused neighbors will be warmer than ICE will: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

Oh no is it more serious than being fucking dead because you were shot in the face several times

Apparently this cycle never gets old for Frey supporters and voters, like him crying at George Floyd’s casket, then running against folks who wanted to hold MPD accountable. Frey is a flimsy man with no actual values besides his own shine.

Now it's Nadja's turn to be snug as a bug... #catsky #thedustballs #rescuecats

Evie hopes everyone who can is having a cozy evening despite everything... #catsky #thedustballs #rescuecats

I hope ICE veterans will receive a lifetime of people saying "Fuck you for your service,"

Looking forward to the day... music.youtube.com/watch?v=XDkh...

That is just a start, of course. I know Dems have limited power right now but they should use every bit of it that they do have. And they ALWAYS have the power to flood the zone with constant, consistent, pull-no-fucking-punches messages about the GOP murderers they will REMOVE and PUNISH asap!

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?” 1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore. 2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions. 3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.
