Someone is still lighting and replacing the candles for Alex Pretti in the school park. Oh my heart.

We will never forget all of the names of those ICE killed this year: Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres, Geraldo Lunas Campos, Víctor Manuel Díaz, Parady La, Renee, Nicole Good, Luis Beltrán Yáñez–Cruz, Heber Sánchez Domínguez, Alex Pretti www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

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

Tonight over 100 people in Oslo joined us in -6 C weather to remember those who have died at the hands of ICE/CBP this year. We will remember them. #AbolishICE

This is a report from an Italian media crew. Notice how (a) how long it is and (b) how it shows what it is actual like to be here in Minneapolis.

Oh, I love McSweeney's.

Great job, Jimmy. 🥲 #jimmyKimmel #ICE #Minneapolis #Minnesota #resist #Trump youtube.com/watch?v=P2Ws...

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

Weird, I’ve taken pictures of people bringing firearms, loaded with multiple magazines to protests outside Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s home and the Minnesota State Capitol.

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it... Arizona, November 2020

Great service

“People are showing up and this is one of the most incredible and resilient places,” he said, “It’s special, and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.”

"Shut it all down until it’s safe for every Minnesotan to drive to a sports venue without being rammed, beaten, abducted or killed." Damn, Jim Souhan. Gift link: www.startribune.com/jim-souhan-m...

A "frame-by-frame review by The Wall Street Journal shows a federal officer pulling a handgun away from Pretti. Less than a second later, an agent fires several rounds. Pretti died at the scene. 'Where is the gun?' agents shouted in the chaotic aftermath." www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

Minnesotans to US media: Be not afraid. We go before you always. Come follow us and we will be your guide.

@startribune.com you can use this advice in so many situations

I am so mad that US media keep saying “local official dispute the statements from the federal government.” what US media should be saying is “video evidence disputes the lies coming from this administration.” NPR just said this 10 minutes ago and it’s so aggravating. @npr.org @mprnews.org

The killing happened about 15 hours ago. Since then: - MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (FBI equivalent) got a warrant for the evidence on the scene - Tried to execute it - Were forcibly turned away by feds - Filed for a temporary restraining order - TRO granted by the federal district court

Candles still burning strong a 1:45 am for the vigil for Alex Pretti. Rest in Power.

Fuck Trump Fuck ICE Fuck Republicans

Plum of tear gas rising over Nicollet Ave and 26th St from west side of Lake of the Isles at 2 pm on 24 Jan 2026

The answer is no and we are all waiting for us news outlets to report what they see and not repeat propaganda

Don't repeat the lie that any of this is happening during "targeted" immigration enforcement. Agents are roaming the city, looking for suspicious skin colors or the hint of an accent.

from alex pretti’s parents:

OMG--check out the playlist from the Current... all damn day! ✊🏼 www.thecurrent.org/playlist/the...

Almost like there is a pattern, here.

Worth watching. I guess they cut it from the show that aired last Saturday because of time.

Dan is so right on this. And these national newsrooms are also the same ones allowing anonymous federal officials to announce their plans through them. Most journalists rarely use anonymous sources. But for some reason it's common practice in DC reporting, and I think the public is worse for it.

@pedalingpastor.bsky.social do you know the status of the path around Lake of the Isles?

Lawyers of Minnesota, local attorney Daniel Suitor is trying to coordinate legal resources needed by the people and organizations responding to ICE's occupation of MN. (Lawyers not from MN, you might also be able to help!) See Dan's post for the link to the form.

lake and Lyndale, one of Minneapolis' busiest intersections. just tear-gassing the neighborhood because no one can stop them. ICE are monsters. the people who did this to us are monsters. I will never forgive or forget.

I think fox could have done a better job photoshopping that photo

BREAKING: Staggering scenes as brave Iranians stand up to their illegitimate government in Tehran... um, hang on, I'm being told this is actually Minneapolis. Forget I said anything...

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

THIS GOES SO HARD. The rad folks at BRLSQ have done it again.

@wedge.live I found some rocket science on the internet

WisARP notes Amtrak is looking at a phased approach to add Madison and Eau Claire service. Initially two daily trains extending from Chicago–Milwaukee, adding a suburban stop in Pewaukee (next to Waukesha) wisarp.wordpress.com/2025/05/28/a...

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

Weirdo Minneapolis anti-city anti-bike car-head radicals shown to be full of hot air.

Don't sleep on the Hennepin County ATC! Here's a Wedge Live! exclusive for you. Passed on Monday, not on the website yet.

The reason you can include the bikeway and so much parking is that Lyndale is unbelievably wide.

Phil Schwartz counted up the parking difference between Orange and Purple options for Lyndale just to prove the Uptown Association doesn't know what they're talking about.

This very rusty old light post at Whittier Park collapsed to the ground during the school day today. This is the park right next to Whittier elementary.
