There is a projector now outside the MDC in Los Angeles. DHS has come out multiple times now to try and secure portions of the fence

Today we observed six shackled detainees being loaded onto the ICE Air flight at MSP. They're heading to El Paso, where conditions are so horrific, staff gamble on who the next prisoner to commit suicide will be. The man walking from right to left at the beginning of the clip is dragging shackles.

I think what they're really trying to say is "How do I explain that queer people are bad when more and more of the world is saying they're good? How can I claim queer people are base animals when they're walking around openly being regular human beings?"

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

enough relitigating the 2024 presidential election, more relitigating the 2017 tony awards. natasha pierre and the great comet of 1812 was fucking robbed

things will never truly change until we as a society reckon with the fundamental links between policing, prisons, and immigration—including our complicity in allowing it to happen in our names.

Especially if you have means to adopt even part of a rent AND HAVE ZELLE, we need you!!!

And he's not even the only Hennepin County deputy in the news this week for assaulting a woman

By our count at @prospect.org they have killed at least 28 people since Trump's second term started.

His last words were “I’m sorry sir”

IF ALL YOU DO IS SAY WE DID NOTHING WRONG AND PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE VOTED DIFFERENTLY YOU WILL CONTINUE TO DO THE SAME THING AND CONTINUE TO LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent." But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."

watching my house finally collapse in flames after i ignored everyone yelling at me to use a fire extinguisher and kept spraying the stove with the little pot washing thing on my sink: "Damn. I was right that this was going to happen"

kamala predicted all of this, that’s why her plan for ICE was to ah look at the time, gotta go

she’s been doing this since at least july and apparently hasn’t gotten enough backlash to stop. it is so depressing and demoralizing how little progressives care about women and survivors, man

Indifference to suffering is a hallmark of genocide.

We have heard from migrants subjected to ICE flights that guards/federal agents lay out the WRAP on the tarmac as a threat: Do what we say on the flight or you're gonna get put in a straitjacket.

ICE hanging out next to the playground on my block in a literal white panel van.

Yesterday I observed 15 shackled detainees being loaded on the ICE Air flight at MSP. In this clip, as the last one hobbles on, staff put away a full-body WRAP restraint, which had been laid out next to the airstairs. ICE Air & WRAP: www.ap.org/news-highlig... Data: ottergoose.net/ice-flights-...

A constant refrain I’ve heard from Frey supporters during ~all this~ is “well what can he do!” Here’s a layup for him. Hopefully those same people are willing to pick up the phone and let him know they support this. Because it is quite literally the least he can do.

Hey, anything for our friend. (I agree this is a bad idea for inclement weather reasons alone, just wanted to share the design I made for the new MN flag when that contest was going on)

So no matter how “good” your state government is, if ICE or CBP grabs you, the feds can just hoik you off to a place where you currently have no right to due process.

“When I think about navigating the start of the year here, especially in our hometown in Minneapolis, the thing that we have kept front and center every single day is the safety of our team.” – Target CEO Michael Fiddelke

Imagine if you single handedly had the power to delay thousands of evictions & keep families in their homes. Jacob Frey can do that by signing what Council passed yesterday. Or he can help evict thousands of people with a veto. Let him know what you would do: www.minneapolismn.gov/government/m...

Mural on the side of BroTex in Saint Paul, where 14 workers and several observers were abducted by ICE on 11/18/25. For me, this was the start of the occupation. A week later they terrorized the East Side guns drawn with SPPD’s assistance.

It’s impossible to fully capture how much Ivonne & Jason have done. They’ve not only been patrolling their community 24/7 since December, but hundreds of families they don’t even know from all across the city ask them for rent help, translation help, legal help & more and they help them immediately.

One of the elementary schools in Talmage’s school district had an ICE car drive around and then try to park in the parking lot this morning before being chased away.

Apparently, Frey's resistance to ICE ends when landlords are impacted. The Mayor has until Wednesday to change his mind. Take a moment to tell him to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives, and help keep our neighbors housed as we continue the real fight to protect residents. Call 612-673-2100 today!

Good work fam.

"Nearly three weeks after federal officials announced that Operation Metro Surge was over, close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota." https://www.startribune.com/close-to-650-federal-agents-remain-in-minnesota-weeks-after-border-czar-announced-end-of-operation/601590007

I wrote about the first national book banning bill, which effectively seeks to erase trans people. At the end I include a link to let your reps know that you oppose this bill and all it stands for. lithub.com/why-we-must-...

Today, the Mpls City Council passed the Pause Evictions, Save Lives ordinance, which would extend the pre-eviction notice period from 30 to 60 days. Take action now and call Mayor Frey (612-673-2100) and tell him to stand with our neighbors and extend the pre-eviction filing period.

anyone wanna drive me to this so i can ask why he still hasn't sued Children's MN for discontinuing lifesaving healthcare for trans kids?

Chavez isn't the only progressive elected official who has been out on the streets during Operation Metro Surge and beyond — but he is possibly the most personally affected by the operation. Two of his uncles have been deported in the past few months.

the snow has melted

when you win a small concession you just get to keep yelling btw. one time a local official said to me "you people are never happy" and like: correct! it is not our job to be happy with compromise! it's our job to be annoying forever actually

A good day to remember that multiple local law enforcement chiefs and Our Mayor have made public statements this year trying to normalize and defend pre-surge DHS/ICE. They hunger to return to the old arrangement, not to dismantle the post-19/11, anti-immigrant machinery that made this possible

I profiled Jason Chavez, the Minneapolis city council member who has been embedded in community efforts to combat ICE. “To leave your constituents to face off with a racist fascist regime on their own, without having someone that has some power…I could not let my constituents be out there alone.”

Hear directly from Aliya Rahman, who was brutally pulled from her car and assaulted by ICE on her way to a doctor’s appointment, on the importance of extending the pre-eviction notice to 60 days. We are proud to have passed this policy today and are calling on Mayor Frey to sign it immediately.

peggy flanagan very carefully avoids saying “abolish ICE” while using language like this that she certainly knows will excite people who support abolishing ICE. she should say what she means

NOEM TAKING QUESTIONS - DOES NOT APPEAR TO KNOW SHE WAS FIRED

I know of one family for sure on my block that was evicted, though I think it was a soft eviction where the landlord released them from their lease instead of filing. I can't help but wonder what the soft eviction rate is since this is hitting people who are afraid of courts.

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYY KRISTI NOEM!!!!

the way they talk about this you would think it was about canceling rent, not giving people who have received pre-eviction notices an extra 30 days to come up with the money to pay their landlord in full or get kicked out

whiting and the 5 CMs who voted against this would rather see a huge wave of evictions crash over minneapolis than risk that some renters get help they don’t want them to have

Stevenson: Homeline says they've seen more calls for rent assistance than they did in any quarter during COVID. We're seeing an eviction crisis looming that is bigger than COVID. That's their professional expertise.

I realize it is easier to ask Gov. Walz to do a thing there's no chance he will do, than to do anything concrete yourself.
