This is the legal defense fund for the 15 anti-ICE organizers who were recently arrested in Minneapolis. Please contribute generously. They are going to have millions of dollars worth of needs. chuffed.org/project/1865...

Fundraiser for the 15 folks in Minnesota indicted yesterday for anti-ICE organizing, from a vetted source: chuffed.org/project/1865...

US Marshals brutally attack protesters outside St. Paul federal courthouse.

As the government raids “antifa groups” in Minneapolis with the SAME charges levied against myself and the rest of the Broadview Six, we need to be asking how they got this indictment. And as charges (hopefully) get dropped, we must remember the process is the punishment.

DOJ announces list of Minnesotans who will never pay for their own drinks again

You don't have to answer the door for the Feds. Do not voluntarily talk to the Feds. If they have a warrant signed by an actual judge, then they can do precisely what the warrant says. But DO NOT TALK TO THE FEDS. Do not answer the door. If you're arrested, your only words are "I want a lawyer."

Two people got murdered in broad daylight by their own government and more and more Minnesotans kept showing up on the streets to protect their neighbors. When you don’t have any moral principles, it’s hard to understand other people who do.

It’s still so wild how relatively little attention this received

Michigan Governor caught on hot mic with Oracle CEO Clay Magouyrk, discussing citizen opposition to AI data centers, bragging how she ignores their concerns: “We’re used to people saying 'f*ck no,' & doing it anyway.”🇺🇸

More updates on this. The proposed contract says the facility could house both men and women at different security levels. One section also says that contractors may be required to transport "juveniles and family units."

After the ceremony, a Route 22 bus marked “JUST MARRIED” carried guests to the festivities. Congrats Libby and Anders!🎉🚌❤️

ICE vehicles have been seen this morning in the Corcoran and Powderhorn neighborhoods/ South Minneapolis. It would be great to get extra support from community today. Please help out in your local area. 1/

The arguments over the merits of gas stoves vs induction reminded me of a much more significant cooking transition: from open hearth to enclosed stove. The benefits for the women who did the cooking were obvious, but men liked sitting around the fireplace, so the transition took decades.

Cops busting through a barricade that they set up is pretty tough to misinterpret.

Here’s where my heart is. Nothing but solidarity to these protesters. Sometimes the only thing that kept me going this winter was seeing messages from other states; I hope one little New Jersian sees this and knows Minneapolis is watching and that our hearts are with you.

The Minneapolis Police 3rd precinct police station tonight on the eve of the 6th anniversary of it being burned by protesters following the murder of George Floyd. "SAY HIS NAME" "YOU MUST BE BOLD BRAVE COURAGEOUS AND FIND A WAY TO GET IN THE WAY" "WE REMEMBER GEORGE FLOYD"

If you're reading or watching this and you're not in Minneapolis, imho you should come visit (and then move here).

I don't know how much it broke through to people who weren't on the ground in the Twin Cities during Metro Surge, but ICE agents were so horned up for violence that they did shit like shoot through closed doors and into childrens' bedrooms. It was all a power fantasy come to life for them.

Utility-backed astroturf campaigns are nothing new, but take on a new significance during this moment of increased attention to skyrocketing electricity bills: www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Frey's first veto, in 2020, fixed a mistake in new billboard rules and had unanimous City Council support. I was a Council aide then and recall Frey's staff was stressed bc they knew a veto, even if constructive, looked fractious and uncooperative. But this was before his veto pen became a schtick.

Not that it's OK for ICE to treat anyone this way, but this woman is a green card holder. She's a legal immigrant who did everything legally and she's been kidnapped by ICE.

Operation Metro Surge's impact in the Twin Cities can still be felt three months after it ended. Many immigrants are at risk of losing homes and businesses, and some are dealing with mental health challenges.

I am extremely troubled by the amount of standby pay issued to MPD officers during Operation Metro Surge. MPD data shows some officers were paid nearly 24 hours per day for 32 days straight, while dozens were paid 8-12 extra hours each day while we stood out in the cold protecting our neighbors. 1/

Thousands of immigrants were detained in Minnesota this winter. Many detainees left behind families that depended on them, who are now asking themselves whether they can safely stay, or even safely leave. (1) share.google/LU759CxFdYgG...

NEW: ProPublica identified at least 79 children who’ve been left screaming, unable to breathe, or otherwise hurt by tear gas and pepper spray during Trump’s historic immigration crackdown.

The regime doesn't want facts that destroy the credibility of a favored industry to become public knowledge.

wait

A document obtained by MPR News shows that dozens of Minneapolis police officers have worked with a previously undisclosed Homeland Security Task Force, which city leaders say is investigating criminal, and not immigration, violations. (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in Minneapolis—and then called her a “fucking bitch” moments before she died in her car—was only placed on three days of administrative leave and continues to work for the agency in another state. trib.al/C3bEEAM

Our South Minneapolis neighborhood mutual aid fund is $2100 short of what we need to cover May rent needs for immigrant families who are still catching up after ICE forced them out of work for months. If you want to chip in, venmo @karleekarleekarlee with a 🏠 and I'll get it to the right place.

They shot Alex Pretti ten times while he was face down in the street.

The 10 highest-paid utility company executives raked in more than $220 million last year. Meanwhile, utility companies asked for a record $31 billion in rate increases, affecting 81 million customers across the country. Yes: utility CEOs are raking it in while millions struggle to pay their bills.

We've got Jaden McDaniels.

New federal data show that Michigan utilities' relentless rate increases have disastrous consequences for customers who face by far the highest disconnection rate in the Upper Midwest www.mlive.com/news/2026/04...

it wasn’t just liam—

Electricity bills are rising, customers are struggling, but guess who is doing just fine?

That’s right

A chunk of most utility bills goes to shareholder profits. Critics argue power and gas companies are overcharging customers by the millions, and regulators could stop it.

It is International Bat Appreciation Day. Please take some time to appreciate a bat

Federal energy regulators voted yesterday to keep in place accounting rules that allow monopoly utilities to charge customers for trade association activities, including political advocacy. Congress can fix this.

This really happened.

I worked for a progressive City Council member in Frey's first term and when my boss would ask for basic details on police and the budget during Council meetings (in 2020!), the mayor would refuse and once even likened him to a baby for asking questions. Frey eventually just stopped showing up.
