NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...

Our Somali neighbors make Minnesota better.

Love seeing how creative folks are with fundraising and rent support.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.

Thank you!!

For a whole year, DHS hid that they murdered Ruben, a young man in Texas, after a traffic stop. Just like they did with Silverio, Renee, Keith, Alex, and Linda, they lied and avoided accountability. How many more people have to be executed before my colleagues realize that reforms are not enough?

Hey friends, the news cycle has moved on & donations/volunteers are way down… but we still need to feed our neighbors who don’t feel safe leaving home yet. We have been feeding 150 families/week & need more help! If I know you IRL & you want to help by grocery shopping this weekend, please DM me.

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board is suspending evictions for its rental properties in response to the ICE surge. It's the first local government body in Minnesota to enact a rent moratorium because of immigration enforcement.

To commentate Valentine’s Day, community members and Recovery Bike Shop help put hearts along central at spots where our community members were taken. In the last 3 months at least 38 people have been taken around central Ave.

Oh, wait. ICE lied about being attacked by shovels? Weird. Wonder if they lie about anything worse.

Abolish and dismantle DHS. Release all detained people. Why would anyone come here. Why would this horrid vile country be allowed to host the World Cup?

We’re never going to turn our backs on our neighbors and stop exercising our constitutional rights. No amount of meetings with Tom Homan or anyone in the Trump administration will change our community’s resolve. This only ends when every DHS agent leaves and they no longer exist to terrorize us.

I’m excited to announce that my colleagues and I are proposing a $5 million program meant to support small businesses impacted by “Operation Metro Surge” in Minneapolis. 1/

Gentle reminder: The plural for “medium” is not “mediums.” The plural for “medium” is “media.” Eg: “Her medium of choice is photography” and “his media of choice are drawing, painting, and throwing dildos at ice agents’ vehicles.”

Everybody has it backwards. Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies. They’re creating a world they control completely

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

You can just declare yourself Precinct Snack Chair, they can't stop you!

I know they've told some real whoppers as they've been on their lawless rampage, but an ICE agent thinking he could get away with lying about shooting someone through the closed front door of a home is top notch. www.startribune.com/mn-venezuela...

There's a lot of news today, but if you haven't heard, Bruce Springsteen is playing First Avenue in, like, less than an hour from now. My colleague Jared Kaufman is there and I'll post a link to his story once it goes live.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

On Saturday we ride for Alex Pretti 1:00pm at Washburn Fair Oaks Park From Angry Catfish: “We're asking folks to host rides and come together. Bike shops and non-profits, cycling orgs and alt cycling collectives, city and rural. We are many but we stand together as one.”

When my husband and I visited Palm Springs 5 years ago, he told a park ranger about how he used to live in Palm Springs and that it was fun to be back as a tourist. The ranger asked where we lived now, and was told Minnesota. Their face twisted in shocked revulsion, they asked, “Why would you

how (if at all) can we support the minnesota general strike on friday from afar?

To our MN community: we support you and are with you in solidarity. We want to support the courageous artists bearing witness to what is happening to Minnesotans. Because of you, history will not forget. We're offering 20 small $1,000 grants to MN-based artists & culture bearers who are documenting

This is torture. State-sponsored thugs willfully hurting someone.

I'm sure everyone will be SHOCKED to hear that the videos do not show the whole "people came out and attacked ICE with snow shovels" thing that ICE claimed was what happened. This was not a remotely defensive gunshot.

Live outside of Minnesota and want to help? Diapers and formula are a huge ask for families in crisis in this moment. All donations tax deductible: www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...

I was supposed to be in bed an hour ago but sending links and videos to people so they know to avoid the green gas (zinc chloride). Once a lab steward, always a lab steward. Seriously, I was a chemist twenty years ago, you do NOT want heavy metal toxicity. It fucks you up in weird ways.

The world is terrible but the kids (of St. Paul, MN) are alright.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

Map shows reports of ICE activity in and around the Twin Cities on Sunday alone. Los Angeles and New York shown for comparison. This particular resource may be less utilized in other cities, but it’s clear that Minnesotans are not afraid to continue documenting the actions of these thugs.

God. Every new atrocity is horrifying. These 🧊 deserve to go to hell

*Looking at the crop of potential DFL candidates for governor* So how badly you wanna be governor? Prove it right now.

This person was leaving the scene. This is murder.

Concerning is too mild a word

When we ride bikes together, my husband yells “put your phone down!” to any drivers we encounter who are on their phones while driving. Eg, when we cross paths at an intersection. He says this way too often, because people are on their phones behind the wheel ALL THE TIME. Be better.

This is a GoFundMe to support the recovery of Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette after the shooting yesterday. It was created by the PTO at the school where Yvette works. Please share and give if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/support-yv...

Minnesota woke to news of political violence but that didn't stop ppl from showing up. Organizers decided to alter program from speeches abt resisting & fighting back to calls for action of peace, community & persistence. This hyperlapse is 20min condensed in 1 min. The people don't stop coming.

This is not a drill! Golden Thyme Cafe is now open at its new location (Selby & Victoria)

Why?? Gun lobby? Private prisons? Greed and cruelty.

This administration outdoes itself daily.

Glad my comments got posted in their entirety. Not feeling super trusting of local media, especially when their caption writers say exactly the opposite of what I said. #Tariffs @fox9mn.bsky.social, I would appreciate a formal correction here.

Sadly, it’s time to revive this 2017 TIME cover.

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

If you rely on VA benefits, SS checks, disability, unemployment, grants to run your biz, Medicare, Medicaid—this should b intolerable. A foreign nat’l w/ ties to China+Russia downloaded our personal info from the Treasury. The world’s richest man is stealing from the American people. -Politics Girl

This racist, irresponsible man lacks empathy and turns any tragedy into a way to forward his reckless agenda. It’s shameful that he is our president. He is not interested in governing. He does not care about the best interests of the people in this country.
