If you've ever been to a naturalization ceremony, you know they're filled with people whose palpable love of this country is twenty times stronger than the pinched "patriotism" of any native-born MAGA chud. Just unspeakable assholery.

I love everything about this

It’s ice-forms-on-the-inside-of-the-windows degrees outside. 🥶

Minnesota, here's a sign to show your support for Somali neighbors. Share it, print it, pass it on. PDF here >> www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/s89ru...

The Summit Ave Regional Trail plan would shorten the crossing distance for pedestrians and sharpen the turning radius for vehicles, slowing drivers down. These safety improvements would save lives. This plan can’t be implemented fast enough.

Stole this from the Cedar Cultural Center’s page since they aren’t here. ♥️♥️♥️

This evening, a resident was kidnapped by agents with face coverings. They disguised themselves in masks and as Uber drivers. They even left kids abandoned inside a car in the freezing cold. 1/

I’ve commuted by bike in winter for years, but I’ve never converted anything on my bike for winter comfort or safety. Today I’m buying studded tires, and pogies might be in my future. A joyful snowy trail ride is in my future, I can feel it. 🤩❄️❄️❄️🤩

Put on a sweater, they said. But have you tried a lap cat?

I want to hear about your favorite bike shop in St. Paul. What do you love about it?

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

This week, an elderly couple was struck by a vehicle on Summit Ave. while in a pedestrian crosswalk, leaving the woman in critical condition. This tragedy underscores the need for street improvements. Summit Ave isn't safe. We can and must do better.🧵 www.twincities.com/2025/11/24/p...

I know that by historical standards this is very low approval, but it’s so sad that 36% of people are a-okay with Nazi-inspired messaging, policies and actions; bald-faced grift; and obvious mental and physical inability to do the job of the President.

Average American Thanksgiving: President declares total ban on immigration, calls an esteemed democratic governor a slur, and then goes on TV to talk about Somalis like animals when asked about a mass shooting by a former child soldier and member of a CIA associated death squad.

Elon Musk and the Trump administration gleefully shutting down USAID “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.” People throw around terms like genocide quite freely online but it’s hard to find other words to describe this level of man-made death.

We are not your adversary We are your police Warped stuff from the St. Paul Police Federation. The officer’s actions were well documented. This posture is the opposite of helpful. Photos taken by MPR’s Kerem Yücel while wearing press credentials. He was one of three journalists injured.

Some reflections after shoveling in St Paul this morning: when dealing with ice, we need grit. (Egg|Plant Urban Farm Supply has cherry stone grit - way better than salt) (Monarca has a training Saturday) (Elected officials need to hear from us today)

Love this

Parabéns, Manuela!

Today on camera: St. Paul Public Works > St Paul Police, by a long shot

If I pointed a loaded assault rifle at someone in the street with the obvious intent of intimidating them, I would be arrested and charged with assault (or worse).

Fuck these goons. Where is the PD protecting its people? PDs sitting out and pointing towards “we are following the consent decree by not helping” is not enough. These are blatant violations of the law that local PDs should be enforcing on these stromtroopers. They’re supposed to protect US!!!

🚨 Monarca Alert! Federal activity at 609 Rose Ave E, Saint Paul MN 55117–seems like ICE surrounding a house for a warrant on 1 but 8 others inside who are vulnerable 11/25/25 9:30am Upstander Legal Observers needed—if you can go, GO

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

Tonight, the Department of Homeland Security announced that on Tuesday they detained 14 of our neighbors on immigration charges. What they initially reported as a targeted criminal enforcement action was in fact an identity-based raid on people who had done nothing but show up for work that day.

Another family whose loved ones were taken from Bro-Tex has posted a Go Fund Me www.gofundme.com/f/support-al...

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

The family of one of the workers taken by ICE from Bro-Tex yesterday has set up a Go Fund Me. www.gofundme.com/f/fn4bw-help...?

This is how we do it

COPAL is hosting a community vigil tomorrow morning at 9am. At the site of the raid today.

I tool this at Bro-tex this morning. From a PiPress article about ICE on Lake St in June '25 "The Southern Poverty Law Center says there are Neo-Völkisch groups that “rely on a romanticized Viking aesthetic and mythos — imagery they use to perpetuate their belief in white racial superiority."

Federal officer threatening protesters with non lethal gun (paint ball gun?) to get them to move.

ICE now confirmed.

New HSI team arrived and is headed inside.

About 30 cars of ICE and DEA agents staging st Newell park in St. Paul

I feel like I've seen this before:

Money money money It’s what food banks want

I reached out to federal delegation to get some answers on this project. It’s a surprise and a very unwelcome one. No home for ICE and CBP in Saint Paul.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Congratulations and good luck to Mayor-Elect @kaohlyforstp.bsky.social! We appreciate your commitment to abundant housing, responsive government, and a vibrant future for the city we love. We hope to partner on these and other shared priorities for the benefit of all Saint Paul.

Was out knocking the doors today for a black mayoral candidate and had a resident say he, a white male, didn’t feel represented by city leadership because “no one in the mayor’s office or on City Council looks like me or *even* like you” (I’m a white woman). 1/x

"Build A Ballroom"

BOSTON (AP) — Judges order the federal government to use contingency funds for SNAP food aid payments during the shutdown.

It’s his day and he knows it. He has assumed position. #catsky #Halloween

I wrote about the should-be-illegal trend of fencing off sidewalks because poor people are nearby. www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

Imagine undermining your children’s lives like this

Different language scary ☹️😲😱

This perfectly encapsulates what the GOP position is on the shutdown.
