You ban whistles and I’ll get a drum and a goddamn fife like a true patriot to warn my neighbors of fascist activity.

I just want to stress eat all the chocolate.

February 1, 2026, is almost near and so many of our neighbors are behind on rent. We are asking the community to call Governor Walz and ask him for a statewide eviction moratorium. You can leave a voicemail here: 651-201-3400‬. Jason Chavez 2/

I removed my reposts of that one first rebel loon logo after learning it was created with AI and reposted about it but it's entirely possible that was at 3 a.m. so people missed that news. There are some non-A.I. artist created rebel loons out there now though, I shared some of them at some point.

What is obvious to me is that a lot of people deeply care about their neighbors and this country. They didn't think we would. We do.

just saw 4 ice agents go up to a house and knock and within 1 minute there were 30 people out whistling and they left. we will not take our foot off the gas

Fact: one of the four civilian attorneys at the Nuremberg Trials was Benedict Deinard of Minneapolis.

Definitely get checked. I have had 3 doses in my life, but I still got checked anyway. Still protected! Thanks, mom!

Northfield is a town of 20,000 people in southeast #Minnesota, outside of the metro region. That 20,000 people includes two college populations. Agents in plain clothes raided a local bakery this morning, and masked agents continue to raid local apartment complexes. That's where we're at.

“The ‘No Kings’ nationwide demonstration that has come to symbolize the resistance to the Trump administration is returning March 28, this time with a flagship event in the Twin Cities.”

Reupping this for the day crowd. I've been hearing a little about a lack of actual communication from the VA to staff after Alex Pretti's killing. I want to find out what is actually going on. Reach out on Signal @ nslayton.12

bro whistles are the NICE option. do you really want to challenge 1,000 nerds with 3D printers to invent something louder and more annoying???

Not shown on video, but Latrisha Vetaw told Rep. Omar to leave and physically blocked her from returning to the podium. Rep. Omar then yelled "I'm not letting these fucking assholes stop us" and continued the town hall, seemingly unshaken.

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it: Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

Me an old school Raiders fan upon hearing Belichick not getting into the Hall of Fame:

New threat just dropped

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A couple (80s?) walk out of a supermarket in a small country town, search through their trolley for a pack of fresh baked cupcakes and gleefully crack it open. Standing in the morning sun, nibbling on little frosted morsels of happiness. (1)

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Spending some time with NUHW in Westminster to support their strike for a fair contract. Remember folks, collective bargaining and collective action is the only way we secure and keep our rights. We gotta stick together!

The administration that spent the first half of 2025 telling us there was nothing wrong with coordinating literally classified war plans on Signal now is saying that it believes it’s a crime to post publicly available information on Signal.

Y’all are just going to make them into heroes. Read the room, fool.

Agreed. I lived in the Twin Cities for 6 years and never once heard that neighborhood referred to as anything but Cedar Riverside.

I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

I feel like these people need to watch Clerks, specifically the scene about contractors on the Death Star. Also, what else do you think your company is doing? Raising unicorns and making cotton candy? 🧐

Some thoughts: 1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1. 2. History professors are qualified nominators. 3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence. 4. He would be so mad.

they seem genuinely incapable of understanding that this isn't directed from the top down, that there isn't some massive silent majority there ready to welcome them, that people actually enjoy having immigrants as friends and neighbors and most of all that fear will not keep the cities in line

Dear neighbor, It is not the time to let your guard down, nor is it the time to stop organizing. While Bovino will be leaving Minneapolis along with some U.S. Border Patrol agents, there is still no specific plan that has been communicated to the public. 1/

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

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

The people of Minnesota did that. Not Schumer and Jeffries, not Walz and Frey, not the standard-bearers of decorum. The People.

I'll repeat my ask to Democratic Senators here: don't vote for the DHS funding bill, yes. AND ALSO do not vote for another single thing in the United States Senate until the invasion and occupation of Minnesota ends. Don't vote to name a post office, dedicate a road, or even a procedural motion

CNN calling Tom Homan "well respected" and "not as hardline as Bovino" is an interesting choice. The dude took a $50,000 bribe in a fucking Cava bag and says all the same fascist shit as Bovino and Noem.

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

This came up in my old posts today. Don’t know why, but it feels good to know that Andre 3000 specifically is this kind of guy.

NEW: Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino is expected to leave Minneapolis tomorrow, a White House and an administration official tell NBC News. CBP is planning to reduce the number of its agents who are Minneapolis are sometime this week, officials say.

This hit so fucking hard today.

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

Minnesotans have all "studied the playbook." (Please quote repost with your playbook, Minnesota. Have at it.)

how is it possible that none of these chucklefucks has seen WARGAMES

I am super antsy today. My brain and body won’t settle even though I’m tired. Sigh.

one of the reasons everybody hates late arrivals from the right or even the center is they're all weepy little idiots who want to be coddled and forgiven and make it everybody else's problem. shut up, figure out how to help fix what you broke, and stop writing thinkpieces

Does anyone doing community defense in an ICE hot spot need money for printing zines/know your rights cards? Or would you like a box of professionally printed KYR cards? We can accommodate both. For boxes of cards we’d want to do volume though, like 5000+

We did predict it. And we were called alarmist.

Hey Minnesotans. Have your bosses sent you a mealy-mouthed email about how to remain productive during these troubled times or some other example of non-committal, faux-concerned corporate-speak? We want to publish a bunch of these. Send examples to keith at racketmn.com. You will NOT be identified.

spotted in the street: an abandoned car with a handwritten sign attached to the window reading “this woman was pulled from her car by ICE — please do not hit or tow”

If my uterus could calm the hell down, that would be awesome.

During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake
