This is an incredibly dramatic failure of a hydropower penstock in California. 3500 cfs is a lot of water! www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdFB...

Police lie. All the time. In paperwork. To prosecutors. To the media. On the stand while testifying under oath. And even when in the very rare case their lies are exposed, they get to keep lying with few if any consequences. This pattern isn’t just limited to ICE.

DHS is "shut down," eh? Seems little has changed with ICE Air operations. Shackled people got on and off this Eastern Air jet at MSP airport on Valentine's Day. (9 boarded, 13 deplaned) www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qap... Follow @lalabote.bsky.social for a bigger picture of daily ICE Air ops

as the MMIR march in minneapolis went down franklin ave under a bridge where the sidewalks are all fenced off, an unhoused man stood next to his tent, filming the march and holding his fist up. nearby graffiti reads “we are human also.”

remember that things like literacy tests for voting were never applied equally either. we have seen this playbook run before.

For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years. The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks — now, it is orchestrating them.

I don’t care where Bovino is right now. This is excellent.

For anyone not familiar -- Mr. Takei was imprisoned at the age of 5 with his family in the "War Relocation Center" in Rohwer, Arkansas. Listen to him!

all the media being stenographers for the feds and just repeating the drawdown nonsense should go to the whipple building today so they can see the same amount of masked men leaving in convoys of vehicles, and whatever this is too, and report accurately what’s happening on the ground in minnesota

This is very funny, but Wyze also sends your footage to other people's computers by default. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROFb...

Three months ago I was hooting at the Metropolitan Airports Commission about ICE flights. Today they’ve sent me to holler at Congress. I’ll do my damndest to make you proud, Minnesota! #MNinDC

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

Our small businesses are on the brink of collapse. Doors are closed, commercial eviction notices are being handed out, and the cultural vitality of our community is at stake. 1/ kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

I remember when the Waco siege seemed extraordinary. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_si...

Did some bike path clearing today. Took a while, but not nearly as bad as it was when we got it early-mid January (I hacked at it a bit yesterday, but fruitlessly with just the chopper). Tools used: ice chopper + wide blade shovel to push the water over the snow dams.

Federal surveillance aircraft seen today circling high over south Minneapolis with no transponder running: - Known DHS helicopter N893N - midday - Known FBI plane N188SS - evening This report brought to you by a guy who wouldn't have been looking if you'd just run your dang transponder, feds.

He‘s my city council member and I approve this message.

It’s been another busy week dealing with the ICE occupation in Minneapolis, but I wanted to give you a Burrito update! We started this project just over 5 weeks ago, and since then we’ve provided over 1150 meals for people, and spent almost $12k at local, immigrant-owned restaurants!

when unknown men come into our government center to grab teenagers, is there anyone that verifies somehow that they are actually federal agents?

Preferably one that takes any sort of principled stance on anything

Minnesota independence had better be a major part of the conversation in this year's race for governor. I think things on the federal level are never going back to normal, no matter how much we want to believe that. Project 2025 has gone too far, too fast.

Wrote a new blog post with some data and lots of links.

The largest increase this year in ICE detainees is at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, a "Family Residential Center" operated by for-profit private-prison company CoreCivic, where there is also a measles outbreak. Here's a table and map for exploring the changes in the latest data release.

Reminder: We don't *have* to give all the urban space to motorists. It's a choice.

The anti ICE Olympic protestors in Italy are holding signs for Minneapolis, Alex and Renee. And they are blowing whistles. Minneapolis whistles have become a global symbol for protesting oppression. #ICE #Olympic

The folks at Taco Taxi asked me to tell you they’re open 11am-8pm! (You gotta knock, and don‘t be a fed.) 1511 E Lake St ordertacotaxi.com

Short-form media is for sharing links and pictures and “titles” or “headlines” or “thesis statements“ and alerts. When it triggers a response in you, that is a sign you are interested, and should dig deeper. If it doesn‘t come with a way to dig deeper, it’s junk. youtu.be/Qc5sITMC6TM

Remember. Your Ring camera is fascist.

How did we get the NFL in the national divorce?

Like Kendrick, political as hell precisely because it doesn't bother to acknowledge the haters. They're irrelevant, beneath attention. And nothing is more intolerable to fascists than the thought that their enemies are cool, enjoying themselves, and not thinking about them.

The Dunkin ad is in the uncanny valley — not the one for CGI, the one that’s too bad to be funny but not bad enough to be funny again about how bad it is

That Dunkin ad was when I realized we are living in hell

Just by looking at a cursory glance of the turnout by precinct, this doesn't look like a case of Democratic areas turning out more than Republican areas. In fact, the opposite. Chasity Martinez won by winning over a bunch of Trump voters

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) tells reporters the Epstein files contain allegations that President Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Today I led the City Council to allocate $1 million to provide emergency rent assistance to families facing eviction due to ICE’s ongoing occupation. This action was in response to Gov Walz failure to enact an eviction moratorium, leaving thousands of renters across Mpls vulnerable to eviction.

Hey, we've had a few random folks send checks from around the country. So we have a running tab. If you're out there doing mutual aid or patrolling, tell the bartender* and they'll buy you a drink. You deserve it. Stay Safe. Fuck Ice. *Almost all the bartenders know about this.

A convicted (and pardoned) January 6 rioter claims he "found" the baseball bat, shield, and mask, and was using them to "defend his life". According to Jake (pictured in black), he was defending his life from the police officers guarding the Capitol entrance on the right. Believe your eyes.
