We are excited to share the Midwest Speedfest 2026 schedule! ong.run/mwsf2026/sch... The marathon kicks off at 9:30am CT on April 17th as part of @vgmcon.bsky.social! Which runs are you most looking forward to?

One of the kind of fucked up parts of the ICE occupation here is that a lot of folks want to believe it’s over, and the media seems to tell us it’s over, but folks on the ground are still seeing tons of activity and vulnerable people are still (rightfully) terrified to go outside. We can’t stop yet.

for my birthday you should apply to volunteer for the speedrun event i help organize :)

Volunteer and host applications for Midwest Speedfest 2026 close Sunday night (11:59pm CT)! On-site and remote positions are available, so you can help out even if you're not attending! Volunteer: forms.gle/V5M8pFmPS6N1... Host (on-site only): forms.gle/EkoMmhnr8tA8...

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

hello and welcome to the political genius exam. here is question one. which is a more compelling message: - the president is sending armies to occupy cities and kidnap and kill people and your town could be next - a meal at the cheesecake factory that previously cost $100 now costs $104.9

The plate carriers they wear are for propaganda purposes. No one’s shooting at these uniformed cowards. They’re the ones shooting, gassing & pepper-spraying unarmed people.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Please read & share this excellent account. www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/fe...

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

When you see those children kidnapped by ICE/CBP, bear in mind that thanks to Biden their DNA is being scanned and permanently added to a database of criminals. They are all marked in the system for life, the system that is *already* trying to revictimize Liam because he embarrassed it.

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

Hey let's go! Minneapolis organizers need dash cams so they can record and have a record of all of ICE's lies.

I’m outraged. Our kids are living in terror under this unjust federal occupation. No child should endure the cruelty being inflicted at the hands of the Trump regime.

🚨 Munitions inventory leaked to me shows Border Patrol is stockpiling over 35,000 weapons in Minneapolis for crowd control. Full inventory here: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/in-ices-wa...

Two Minnesota school districts backed by the state teachers union filed a lawsuit Wednesday to restore the Department of Homeland Security’s policy of recognizing schools as protected areas where immigration enforcement can’t be conducted.

A federal judge and two government lawyers expressed exasperation Tuesday with the Department of Homeland Security’s repeated failure to comply with court orders to release people whom federal agents arrested during the Trump Administration’s ongoing immigration crackdown.

An 11-year-old girl from Columbia Heights remains in ICE detention at the Dilley, Texas facility — where measles cases have been reported — sparking concern among family, community members and advocates.

Huge huge shoutout to this incredible charity event that raised over $56,000 for those directly affected by ICE's terror in our community here in Minnesota. We are so honored to have been even such a tiny part of it (our song Traffic Cones was used as a theme/credits song for the event ❤️) Fuck ICE

Pics from Nokomis tonight #ICEOUT

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept." Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

In an interview with MPR News, Liam's mother gave an update on her son and her own safety. She said Liam asks again and again, “Mommy, why don’t you pick us up?” Or “Mommy, we don’t want to be here anymore. This place is ugly.”

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

WE ARE LIVE FUCK ICE ABOLISH ICE PROSECUTE THE MASKED STATE TERRORISTS IN THE STREETS

This right here is the beginnings of the result of what DOGE was really up to. Not *really* slashing stuff, but getting access to as many government citizen databases and joining them to be able to target people quickly and comprehensively across all their exposure to the federal government.

Trump: i’m at war with minnesota like i was with venezuela bsky.app/profile/leba...

In bed.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all. Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Minnesotans are built for this in the long haul. Trump and these agents are not.

Never forget the Minnesota GOP invited Nick Shirley here & plied him with intel, resulting in targeted harassment of innocent people and ultimately, this occupation.

THE ICE BREAKER SCHEDULE IS OUT oengus.io/marathon/ice... Join us on Friday, Jan. 30th starting at 11:00am ET for a weekend full of the best speedruns we could find in support of Minnesota against ICE!

The People Struggle Against Tyranny Another execution of an American citizen. A regime that has no strategy but to lash out. The struggle against Trumpist authoritarianism is only going to get bloodier. My new piece. And for this one, I allowed myself to write angry:

"We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented."-Elie Wiesel

With that mind, here’s some righteous leadership from someone who didn’t ask to lead bsky.app/profile/cjze...

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Minneapolis says no to ICE.

@keithellison.bsky.social please please please run for governor

❤️❤️❤️

Minneapolis is really a city like no other. Trump fucked up thinking that brutal violence would scare people into submission, rather than foment widespread organizing and resistance. These aren't cowardly hospital CEOs or college board members. These are neighbors defending their communities.

I need everyone to understand that this could not happen anywhere else exclusively because the people of minnesota started showing up for george floyd and then never stopped this isn't a "sudden event", this is the culmination of nearly seven fucking years of steady leadership and participation

Both of my local liquor stores are closed. Liquor stores. In winter. In Minnesota. On a Friday.
