ICE raided Augsburg University in Minnesota and allegedly pointed guns at students. They didn’t have a warrant to be on private property, and students are shaken and left feeling unsafe. At least one was detained. They’re not going after criminals. They’re grabbing anyone they can.

We’ve lived in our house about 13 years and walked around Lake Harriet 100s of times. We had never seen swans before. But others said they’re there every year. Anyways… the swans are numerous at the moment. Here’s a family off of north beach.

"The group rallied amid frigid conditions at the Target store on East Lake Street, alleging it allowed agents to stage raids in the parking lot. 'You cannot celebrate our communities on your commercials while letting ICE stalk them in your parking lot'...” www.startribune.com/twin-cities-...

Off the clock and running an errand when I heard a woman at a local bakery ask if she could put something up. Beth Christopherson is spending her Sunday driving around to provide local businesses with signs she printed up. It goes with the bakery's homemade sign barring ICE.

Not including Border Patrol, ICE has arrested nearly 75,000 people with no criminal records. This data is compiled by ICE internally and was obtained by UC Berkeley’s Deportation Data Project via a lawsuit. ICE is currently holding 65,000 migrants in detention centers around the country.

In post-Roe America, abortion providers and their patients face "a lot of pressure" and "a lot of stereotypes," says @soledadobrien.bsky.social. Her new documentary, "The Devil is Busy" sheds light on "the actual people in these clinics," and the realities of reproductive healthcare. #Velshi

I can’t believe that in this day and age, people are still wearing fir.

my least hate billionaire atm

If I had a nickel for every time a prominent DFL leader tried to excuse vehicular manslaughter, I don’t even know how many nickels I’d have at this point.

Newsom's morality is his problem. So the only case for him is that "HE CAN WIN." Much of this lies in his white male bland handsomeness. Centrists think that solves Dems' "cultural issues." What this gets wrong is that 2028 must be about corruption. And he's on the opposite side of that.

Trump said last year that he would focus on deporting immigrants who were violent criminals. But a study of arrests in major operations in DC, LA, Illinois and Massachusetts shows that the vast majority of those swept up by ICE have no criminal record. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I have donated to the Florence project. They work with kids in these situations

For those keeping track, we are at the sitting member of congress being pepper sprayed by federal agents while trying to protect her constituents stage of fascism.

Great Moments in Immigration Enforcement "I asked them if they had a judicial warrant. They said they didn't need one. I said yes you do." Employees then captured video of agents leaving and turning the wrong way on a one way street. youtu.be/C9t9HE9vmX0?...

We encountered an ICE immigration enforcement action on Park Ave. in Minneapolis today. When my colleague Ben Hovland and I arrived there were only a couple observers, but there were dozens blowing whistles by the time ICE agents left without making an arrest. www.instagram.com/reel/DR3DO1I...

Don’t lie, Lisa. I’ve got receipts.

Trump may have accidentally pardoned the pipe bomb guy?

"At least $5.9 trillion will be inherited by billionaire children over the next 15 years, the bank calculates."

The first 2 Home Alone Movies are such classics! But they've been going downhill ever since! So happy they tried something new at last.

Free whistles: restocked and locally made!

I've had a lot of people reach out about the presence of ICE on park board property. Unfortunately, they are legally allowed to be on our land because it is completely public. This is a gross abuse of the sanctity of our parks and can't be tolerated. We will do all we can to keep these spaces safe.

ICE out in S Mpls again today. No reported detentions so far from these. We're seeing various cars, illegal license plate covers. Noticing they're not staying in one place very long (<10min) & scatter at whistles/honking. Seems like response test + avoidant of our known ability to mobilize.

A figure of Baby Jesus in a Nativity set shows him covered in a blanket with his hands zip-tied at the Lake Street Church of Evanston. The church's leadership chose to depict the Nativity scene as an homage to people facing ICE's Operation Midway Blitz. (📸: Associate Minister Jillian Westerfield)

Gracefully carving through the solar corona, a mini eruption of filament plasma erupted from the Sun earlier today! Beautiful.

OK seriously, where are these goons staying? I want to know what chain chose to rent rooms to these people. #ICEOUT #Minneapolis

While millions of families struggle to put food on the table Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg own more wealth than the bottom HALF of Americans. That’s what oligarchy is about. That’s what a rigged economy is about. Is it any wonder that people in this country are angry?

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

And we should toss their billionaire bullshit hush money into Boston Harbor

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

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’m backing Frazier but interested in learning more about all the candidates. Unfortunately the Strib’s profile of this guy doesn’t engender much trust—his line about carrots and sticks is one red flag. His background as a Catholic whose grandfather was an “anti-abortion advocate” is another

New: Hillary Clinton will be speaking at an event hosted by Israel Hayom (Israel's most read newspaper, run by Israeli-American billionaire & Trump megadonor Miriam Adelson). She'll join John Fetterman, Eric Adams, Trump UN Ambassador Mike Waltz, Biden official Amos Hochstein, and Israeli officials

Immigrants brought here as children were told they wouldn’t be deported. Now, they’re being targeted anyway.

Did I finish shoveling? Yes I did. Did I just house a bowl of leftover stuffing, gravy, and mashed potatoes? Also yes.
