I saw it too:

Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

Lots of teargas at ICE tonight in Portland. People were just standing and chanting.

Hillary was too emotional. Biden was hoarse. Kamala laughed.

The Mercury has obtained a series of images of group messages that show racist, sexist, and homophobic tropes used by a local developer and other local conservative political activists during a council president election. Readers may find this content offensive.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

These peaceful observers I spoke to had ICE show up at their homes in what they see as attempts at intimidation. ICE has somehow been accessing Minnesotans' private data in likely violation of state law, according to privacy advocates. share.google/J00lpWzPzOu2...

Trump and Miller’s rampage is wildly unpopular. This Admin’s approach is a failure of a political project.

When someone says the quiet part out loud, believe them.

Republicans cut your healthcare to pay for a federal invasion of Minneapolis. ICE isn’t making us safer — it’s terrorizing our communities.

credit where due: People is killing it this week

A decade ago, when Trump one the first time, I and other Black writers tried to make us see that racism — both explicit and deeply seeded — was at the root of Trump’s rise. We were dismissed even as late as last year as people attributed economic anxieties to Trump’s wins. DO YOU BELIEVE US NOW?

Would be useful for stories like this to point out, among her political ties, that her husband is the *GOP Senator from Pennsylvania.* (Beat Bob Casey by 0.2% in 2024.) Not even mentioned in CNBC dispatch.

WARNING St. Paul: We are still receiving reports of door-to-door operations in the area. Tonight is a night to look out for your neighbors and check in on one another.

KO'ing everyone's 401k the week they started bragging about murdering citizens in the street on camera is the behavior of people who are on actual drugs. Not metaphorically, it's the behavior of people with underlying mental illness on uppers and steroids who are starting to feel cornered.

The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks: - Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela - ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota - Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally - Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

This NYC protester speaks for a lot of us 🔥 “It’s an injustice being done in my name… my tax dollars not to go feed people who need food, house people who need housing, even to actually have policing to keep actual criminals off the streets… ICE is… not going after the worst of the worst.”

New from me: As Portland's police chief encouraged residents to exercise their rights and speak out against violence by federal agents, his own officers defended the fatal shooting of Rene Good in MN and brutalized a protester during anti-ICE demonstrations. www.portlandmercury.com/news/2026/01...

Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally: "Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."

dumb nazi bitch lmao 😂

FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now? Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests? Trent: No, I think they are talking about the regime that is shooting people in the face

In a week when a century happened, from VZ to MN, the biggest story was Trump's vow that nothing can stop him but 'my own morality' and 'my own mind' But a dictatorship that relies on brute force, alternate truth can be stopped. By our morality. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

Dug this one up as it seems relevant again

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Republicans somehow managed to sprint from “we’re trying to protect women in sports” straight to defending a woman being shot in the head three times at point blank range for trying to drive away from a masked thug.

The decision has been made to break an American city. It is an experiment. We must do all we can (legally) to help Minneapolis hold on.

Oops. “US citizens in Venezuela should leave the country immediately… “There are reports of groups of armed militias, known as colectivos, setting up roadblocks and searching vehicles for evidence of US citizenship or support for the United States.”

Remember when Assad was bombing Syrian cities & attacking civilians with chemical weapons & we all asked “how could a government do that to its own people..?” The federal government is currently occupying & terrorizing a major American city.

"YouGov has ICE at 39% favorable, 52% unfavorable...But this top line really understates the intensity of public backlash to ICE and its tactics. In February 2025, just 19% of Americans held a strongly unfavorable view of ICE. Today, 40% do." open.substack.com/pub/gelliott...

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.

Steve Kerr on the murder of Renee Good: "It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."

ICYMI — One of Trump’s untrained racist ICE goons slips and falls on the ice and his gun goes off in a residential Minneapolis neighborhood

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

Portlanders at City Hall rapid response rally/vigil for Renee Good & the two Portlanders shot here by feds earlier today.

This vigil is organized by the Democratic Socialists of America. There are probably 200 people here.

At the last-minute vigil at Portland City Hall, organized to honor the two people shot this afternoon by federal agents. Several Portland councilors will hold a press conference here starting in 10 min.

Vigil/press conference featuring six city councilors ends with an “abolish ICE” chant and the Portland crows circling overhead.

"ICE agents have absolute immunity? I have not heard this one yet." –Mayor Jacob Frey reacting to Vice President JD Vance's comments about the ICE shooting in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The situation in Minneapolis is insane: seemingly many large convoys of heavily armed masked men, blocking off streets at random, grabbing people nearly at random, racing around the city with no discernible plan or aim. Under attack by our own government the day after it killed someone

Pastor: I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic. I said, 'Take me, stop harassing her.' The next thing I knew, they put handcuffs on me and put me in the back of an SUV. I asked if I was under arrest. They said to me, 'Well, you're white, you won't be any fun anyway.'

The White House is reportedly discussing paying everyone who lives in Greenland anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 per person if they secede from Denmark. This is apparently what putting Americans first looks like. www.reuters.com/world/europe...

interesting! here's a video i took yesterday of federal agents ramming community members with their car
