Ok, I can admit it. I may have underestimated the amount of snow in the article circle in January. #Tromsø

Insuring some de-ICEing as one does when one flies to the Arctic Circle or the Twin Cities.

Hey All - Let’s keep Wes busy!!! Going to find a way to put this out in Deutschland and then he’ll be really f*cked.

I spend so much time in transitory places (airports, convention centers, hotels), I’ve started to pay attention to their structure how they provide illusion of freedom while directing people where they want them to go.

My SAS flight to Stockholm smelled like the wood of a sauna the entire way. And this strangely felt very on brand.

I know this is absolutely not important in light of everything happening in the Twin Cities right now, but how did I go so wrong to have a son who is a Hamburger SV fan (while I’m a St Pauli supporter.)

friend of mine is an undocumented immigrant and has been hiding in Melania theaters bc he knows people assume no one is in there

The problem will be gone when you are gone, Tom.

HAPPENING NOW: ICE agents currently camped out in the parking lot of the Minneapolis Police 5th Precinct in a Blue Ford Expedition.

I truly cannot think of any movie I would care less to see than this waste of celluloid.

I’m from Mpls but live now in Germany. This weekend I will be within the Arctic Circle (Norway) but I will find a way to do a ride in solidarity. I love the Twin Cities, miss my friends & my bike community. And having lived there for 2 decades I can say ICE fucked with the wrong people.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told his officers that they have a duty to intervene if they see ICE committing crimes and will be fired if they don't. We need a lot more of this. www.ms.now/news/minneap...

Is it ok for me to say that I’m incredibly proud of my MN friends and everything they’ve done to demonstrate resolve and courage in the face of this occupation and at the same time incredibly worried for all of their safety? They would never say it, but they are the best of us.

Yes MPD is still AWFUL but to hear this from Brian O’Hara it’s a huge admission that even from their perspective what’s happening isn’t right. On a major national media platform don’t underestimate how hard this was for him. www.cnn.com/2026/01/27/u...

Here’s the deal, they captured my face standing outside of my kid’s preschool in a high-viz vest. The database is going to be so big it’ll be useless. Employers will ask why you aren’t in the database and unless you explain you were doing mutual aid, the people hiring will think you’re a bad person.

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

Fantastic article

If you think about it, ICE are paid agitators. Everyone in the Twin Cities is just protecting their community for free.

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Greg Bovino getting his Minneapolis performance review.

Never prouder of all my friends in the Twin Cities. They demonstrated why it’s such an incredible place and showed the rest of the country how to protect each other from an occupying force. It’s far from over but they deserve credit for this step forward.

Of course he does. Is this a joke? He defended the guy who killed Good. He’s told multiple people that he thinks protesters should be attacked. He told people at a rally to rough someone up. He’s said nothing as ICE has hurt people for months. He doesn’t get to walk away from this now.

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.”

Bike friends: This is something you can organize wherever you are, in solidarity with us in Minneapolis. Plan a unity ride for this Saturday. Bring your community together.

Paul Allen should be fired today.

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign. Gregory Bovino must also be fired. No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Tonight, my Minneapolis neighborhood gathered on street corners and in our local park to mourn Alex Pretti. This is our FOURTH vigil in eight months. No community should have to go through what we're going through.

As we go marching, marching, in the beauty of the day! @redloons.bsky.social

Yo @keithellison.bsky.social put this on your wall and never stop until they’re all taken down

Minnesota is the best of us.

Y'all. My company is all over the nation. I just signed onto slack and found multiple threads from coworkers who are taking tomorrow off in solidarity with MN. They're sharing how to help. Making calls. Buying from Mpls businesses. Connecting to their local networks. 😭♥️ WE ARE GOING TO WIN.

I’m genuinely excited because it’s about to get real, real cold in Minnesota and between the extreme cold and my peeps, who are super organized, they are about to absolutely humiliate 🧊. Don’t fuck with people from L'Étoile du Nord they protect each other.

One of the taco trucks who serves on our patio (not the tues/fri, but more irregularly) reached out. The owner & his family have been unable to work for over a month and are struggling. We have confirmed this venmo. If you want to “buy lunch” from them, please do.

Life in Minnesota is terrifying right now, but every day I feel amazed by watching us wake up and go fuck with these absolute losers. Minnesota is going to annoy the regime to death and upon the graves of the fascists we'll erect a statue to Barb the librarian who ran dispatch.

This dude is turning into one big 🐈‍⬛.

YOU HAVE ALREADY BEEN DRAWN INTO POLITICAL THEATER TIMMY! NOW WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO PROTECT MINNESOTANS? WRITE ANOTHER STRONGLY WORDED LETTER TO TRUMP? DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS?

ATTENTION. On Friday, January 23rd, we will be closed as part of the ICE OUT general strike opposing the federal occupation of Minnesota.
