New season of #Cross just dropped. Opened with an Epstein Island theme. Wasn't prepared for that but here for it (the pedos don't fare so well in the first 2 minutes)

#TheOccupation #Minneapolis

Gee, I wonder why that could be???

Every time another basic income pilot like this concludes - the results are "unprecedented." It's almost like it's time for it to become universal or something.

JUST IN: A number of protesters were arrested during an ICE demonstration at the Target store in Richfield this evening. More: https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/anti-ice-protesters-arrested-during-demonstration-at-richfield-target-store

Juana Rodriguez, a U.S. citizen born in Idaho, said she was among those detained. The ACLU said in its news release that her 3-year-old son cried as officers told him to hold on to her pocket.

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

So, technically not a doll. But not what you want to see in the woods on a misty morning, either!

Gee, you think it is the processed food & booze? US just invents new ways to destroy the gut to feed the BigAg monster.

Spotted on the London Underground….the Brits don’t miss 🎯!

It's pretty clear that Pam Bondi ordered the DOJ to spy on Congress so she could try to level some 'zingers' at the Democrats. Repeat! The Attorney General ordered the DOJ to spy on Congress...let that sink in. www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Gee, Imagine that?

Meanwhile, many libraries that used to offer passport services were recently told by the Federal government they can’t do that anymore. Probably a coincidence!

This ice “fish-fluencer” wants ICE to get out of Minnesota. Nate Pischke has turned his indignation and outrage about the largest deployment of masked and armed ICE agents in US history into a call for hunters and fishermen to speak out. "Nobody wants these ding dongs in our fucking city."

Mark your calendars: Bake Sale at Mother Earth Gardens in Northeast #Minneapolis raising money to help our neighbors sheltering from ICE. All the proceeds will go to local mutual aid funds. Feb 21 12-5

One of the many sins of genAI is that the societal necessity of staying vigilant for it frequently turns into a policing strategy, often with punitive consequences for the handful of people who still write and make art with human integrity. I hope this student wins their suit.

If I thought he was a democrat I'd say that Joe Thompson could probably give AKlo a run for her money for Governor. He was a much better prosecutor than she was. And the GOP argument against Fraud evaporates with him as a candidate.

JP Cooney is on Deadline Whitehouse right now and will be launching a bid for congress. (He's one of the prosecutors from Jack Smith's office.)

The federal agent who shot Marimar Martinez and joked about it has been placed on leave. This wouldn't have happened if everyone had accepted Homeland Security's blatant lies in this case.

Oh look, here's the budget. $182.4M to help ICE, arrest people exercising their civil liberties, and beat up students for banging drums. They could do with $50m less to cover HCMC. Sorry, no bloated overtime like MPD for you.

You know how they were able to recover the video of intruder from Samantha Guthrie's mum's entrance from the camera? She didn't have a subscription to store that data. So how did Google have it? That should give us all pause. The #SurveillanceState is here. Who has access to it?

Study finds no link between COVID-19 vaccines and autism A new study finds no increase in autism rates in babies born to mothers who received COVID-19 vaccines just before or during pregnancy, compared with children of unvaccinated moms. www.cidrap.umn.edu/c...

Wonder what would happen if there were hundreds of these of POTUS' family, wife, ex wife, kids & grandkids. Would same rules apply?

NEW — Business owners in Chicago’s hemp industry are demanding that Mayor Brandon Johnson veto a controversial hemp ordinance that industry stakeholders describe as a harmful and destructive ban reminiscent of the 1920s alcohol prohibition era. thetriibe.com/2026/02/chic...

After cutting #Healthcare funding, and this being the primary provider for the Minneapolis metro, who do you think is going to be impacted here? Because it isn't going to be you and your elective surgeries.

The man accused of attacking Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn at a town hall in Minneapolis last week was ordered Tuesday to be detained on probable cause. Anthony Kazmierczak, 56, faces a count of forcibly assaulting and interfering with Omar while she was engaged in official duties Jan. 27.

This is pretty cool: a number of tattoo shops in Duluth & Superior are doing a flash tattoo fundraiser on Friday. Proceeds go to mutual aid programs. www.instagram.com/p/DUlQBeujhKi/

#AlJazeera isn't part of my normal news intake but sometimes I see something like this. They're funded by the Qatari government. But this is what a large part of the planet reads. #ICEOUT #Republicans #Minnesota #Minneapolis

Status Coup video journalist Jon Farina is LIVE in Minneapolis outside a Target where an ICE protest is taking place in response to the constant collaboration and cooperation between the corporation and ICE agents.

Thanks to hottakespoliticsgirl for capturing the feeling in Minneapolis!

Some real shadiness going on in Arkansas around their Supreme Court. That said, there is an election on March 3rd for an Arkansas State Supreme Court seat. Dem-backed candidate John Adams is taking on GOP-appointed Justice Nick Bronni. Look sharp, Arkansas voters! boltsmag.org/arkansas-sup...

haha I made this in my professional repro activist days and never did anything with it, here, it's still all true:

Are drafts coming to @deck.blue ?

By wonky friends, this puts farmworkers under the public sector PERB, whatever Washington state calls it. app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?...

Holy hell, LARB.

If Amy Klobuchar wants to be the leader of Minnesota, then she needs to call in every favor she’s done for Republicans and stop the mining of the Boundary Waters.

WATCH: “IT’S A SMASH & GRAB JOB.” Sen. @jeffyarbro.bsky.social says @GovBillLee’s vouchers are a redistribution of wealth from TN taxpayers to wealthy families with kids already in private schools Lee wants to double the program while the public schools don’t even keep up with inflation🤔

One thing I enjoy about the Olympics is good writers writing interesting things about sports I know nothing about, like Kathryn Xu on Ilia Malinin and men's figure skating. [🎁]

Students and teachers unite in Yellowknife to preserve traditional languages. How this symposium is keeping ancient dialects alive and why language is more than words, tonight on APTN National News. Watch live: www.youtube.com/aptnnews

It’s some weird version of mansplaining and something more but yikes!

It's the party of Pedophiles

Scoop: Top FDA official Vinay Prasad overruled the agency’s reviewers when he refused to accept Moderna’s application for a new influenza vaccine, STAT has learned. www.statnews.com/2026/02/11/m...

I've been talking to a lot of low vision cyclists for a new project and it has made me think about some of the assumptions I carry regarding who has a right to be in public space and move in public space.

right when they're trying to get an IPO off the ground too, what a fortunate convergence of wholly unrelated events!

You know, Terrorists from other countries, criminal gangs from anywhere could just disguise themselves as #ICE and do just about anything they want in this country right now, no one could stop them, the ICE agents would probably back them up thinking they were "one of us". We are a failed nation.

Great piece of reporting Also a good reminder for those Who forget that it's not just Minneapolis & St. Paul (even if the numbers aren't as high there) Also, the community care is clearly strong all over 💜🙏🏻

OK, @artbutmakeitnow.bsky.social Do this photo please.

The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.
