The president of the United States, folks.😕 Surely all who condemned the Charlie Kirk reaction will condemn Trump for this. Right? (cc: @MarshaBlackburn ) Our kids are watching.

Ideally the President of the United States and the stupidest person on the planet should be two different people…

After months of relentless rapid response in Minneapolis, members of Defend the 612 had a moment to breathe and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the grief they carry, and the citywide fellowship they hope will endure. The crisis is not over, and I’m grateful they made time to speak with me.

The only question left by the Supreme Court decision on tariffs is: What the fuck is wrong with Thomas, Alito, and Kavenaugh? The Constitution could not say more clearly that only Congress has the power to impose taxes. Can't those three justices umderstand a simple, direct English sentence?

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!) This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

These people are absolute lunatics. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Imagine a President bulldozing 1/3 of our Historic White House pocketing $300 million and that doesn’t even crack the top 100 most destructive, vile, disgusting things he’s done, yet here we are

These numbers are heartbreakingly low. This is about basic human decency and believing in fundamentals of law. It *should* supersede basic partisanship, but the wall is pretty impenetrable.

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

This man is morally void and the most responsible of anyone for how toxic this country is right now.

🗣️ @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “The idea we’re just going to move past this… since Trump ‘took down the temperature’ an ICE agent said ‘you raise your voice, I erase your voice’, they tried to go into the Ecuadorian embassy… 2300x since July a judge ruled ICE illegally detained someone.”

Make America Human Again. #AbolishICE

It's easy to get inured to this. But it's genuinely shocking. These are just untrained, hyped up hooligans terrorizing people.

yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.

Important. There has not been a deescalation.

No notes. 🔥

No shame, no morals—just fake dear leader ignorance all the way to the bottom.

Democrats just won a special election in St. Paul by 91%. That's basically impossible and also a 20% improvement over Harris's showing in the seat. Also, it shows that deploying ICE as a voter suppression tactic probably only works against their own voters.

Bovino getting pulled is a nice thing, but everyone needs to be clear on one thing: just today, we have infuriating stories of families getting abducted and ICE creepily surveilling our children. ICE are acting the same as they did last week

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

I cannot emphasize enough how important it is that we get rid of Miller. His race war fantasies have informed the vision behind the federal assaults on US cities, as I discussed here.

He has to go.

On the same day Homan and Trump said they were going to turn down the temperature, they’ve now added acts of war to the long list of ICE crimes.

Congresswoman @ayannapressley.bsky.social has been trying to get qualified immunity eliminated her ENTIRE career. What the fuck is it going to take to get people to listen to her?

"It takes far more courage to stare down the barrel of a gun while you’re armed with only a whistle and a phone than it does to point a gun at an unarmed protester." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

“TheY nEeD betTeR trAinINg.” You can’t reform something this rotten. #AbolishICE

I'm gonna add to this that the Dems had ZERO to do with the Bovino firing. It was the tireless work of the good people of MSP standing strong, filming and writing the news with their first hand accounts. The press tried to both sides it. They WANTED to. But the citizens of Minnesota ended this guy

Until Miller’s gone these are just gestural purges to sanitize and consolidate his reign of terror.

“Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex’s needless killing, and Deputy WH Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, Trump must dismiss them," AFGE NP Kelley

I’m glad that shithead Bovino is gone, but I don’t trust a thing coming from this Administration. Yes, it could be a sign of lowering the temp on the most aggressive tactics, but I’m very wary it could also just be some arm-waving PR tactic and the surge will just continue with a less vocal leader.

Which Mpls streets can we rename Pretti and Good?

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

A list of things to demand from your reps (From @khanna.house.gov )

Abolish ICE is not enough. Stern words for Greg Bovino or Kristi Noem is not enough. We need prosecutions and trials. Anything short of this position fails to address the gravity of this moment.

Target Center dunkers wear “ICE OUT” t-shirts

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Rebekah Brunson is the real deal. Speaking truth pregame about the pain and injustice in this community right now. Not something I’m used to from sports broadcasters and I’m grateful for it.

Never forget that concentration camps existed for years before the Final Solution. They were cramped, unsanitary, inhumane, and mostly out of sight from citizens. This stain is on us now. Even if we stop it, it will take generations to come clean. www.theholocaustexplained.org/the-camps/th...

Children die in school shootings and it’s “not the guns”. Mass shootings claim lives multiple times a year and it’s “not the guns”. Kyle Rittenhouse shot 3 people during a protest and it’s “not the guns” ICE kills Alex Pretti, and suddenly it’s his fault because he “had a gun”

As a long time fan of KFAN I won’t ever listen again until Paul Allen is fired. Making jokes about Minneapolis residents putting their lives on the line and sometimes losing them in order to defend our neighbors is immoral and wrong

If you're in the Dem caucus and Bill Kristol is lightyears ahead of you, you probably need to reconsider your positions.

Never about immigration...

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

Yes!! It's like a two-for-one now when you eat there. Support good people, get great food.

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit. It's all white supremacy and greed.

“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
