This weekend’s storm is a key test for the electric grid — in an age of energy-sucking data centers. “.. The move is unusual because data-center operators and businesses generally don’t distribute energy to the grid.” @wsj.com #$XLU www.wsj.com/business/ene...

I really can't state this enough. Federal agents have been teargassing parks and residential neighborhoods for weeks but didn't show up for a fight downtown today and look what didn't happen. Wishing absolute worst wishes to our occupying forces. GTFO of Minnesota.

Note how there's no violence or chaos when the cops aren't rioting.

when you’re living in what feels like a world historical moment, sometimes they let your friends go on tv to tell the world about what’s happening

Seeing pictures from stores down south but not enough of all the water except Desani being picked over

Was ICE active in the area?

It's worth noting that the population of Minnesota is about 5.8 million, so close to 1 in 100 people in this entire amazing state showed up to say #FuckICE today

I cant remember who but I saw someone posting last night about how the Wolves are now jinxed for not making a statement on current events. And if that's the case start planning the parade

When did looking like a goober playing army stop being a career ender?

How it How it’s started going

This machine cuts ice out. Anti-ICE signs back in stock when we reopen Saturday morning. ✌️ 💖

Heard that ICE agents were struggling with the single digit temperatures. 😂 All protesters are like Bane now. Ah you think ice is your ally? You merely adopted the cold. I was born in it, molded by it.

Of course we all ended up dancing to Prince when we got to First Avenue. Because Minnesota. And oh yeah, and fuck ICE.

Please let this be true. I don’t know if the world can handle this level of cope.

SKOL

ICE thinks Minnesotans will eventually give up, it’s like they’re unfamiliar with Vikings fandom

Remember back in 2026 when they way the fuck underestimated Minnesotans?

100% pure love for @first-avenue.com and its employees for opening their space and giving people a place to warm up and free coffee after the March

Watching Mavs-UMD womens hockey game and arena played All The Things She Said and there's a song I hadn't thought about in awhile

Dingo fuck yourself!

I’ve been having a hard time not being home today due to a planned trip but seeing Flagstaff show up for Minneapolis really helped.

Gotta remind yourself not to cry when you see the kid's signs. It's negative -25°F and tears are dangerous. "LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" "ICE GIT OUT YA FUCKIN DUMBIES 😡"

Crowd sourced traffic calming in Powderhorn, Minneapolis.

Court order. didn't save. toddler.

one of my homies posted this on another site & this isn’t ai — it’s actual numbers of real people showing out for just one of the demonstrations today

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

During the march today, when chants of "FUCK ICE" broke out, the loudest and most enthusiastic person I heard was a tiny grandma wearing a knit beanie that said "CURLING"

I feel like this article is really of a piece with the story of the biracial trans woman who let noted piece of shit Jake Lang into her car because in the moment he approached, she saw a scared human being desperate for help and not a white supremacist.

"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!" "Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!' - two older Minnesota ladies, bidding farewell after the protest

It’s funny because my actual advice for anyone worried about opsec is “help get aid to home bound families,” because the easiest way to stay off the feds’ radar is simply not follow them, and not do anything they’ve argued is illegal. But weirdly the opsec guys also usually want to be in the action.

Minnesota is the best of us.

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

The local sheriff was horrified by the arrest of his recruit, and said the federal government is telling a different story of what’s really happening. trib.al/gbJ2xIU In the video, the man can be heard shouting, “What’s wrong? I’m just coming from work. I don’t understand this.”

Entirely appropriate that anti-ICE protesters in Minneapolis are singing a song from the anti-slavery movement in the 1840s.

Ben Damberg protest volunteer: “None of us want to be doing this — I don’t, but we simply cannot stand by as other Minnesotans are being hurt — we will march, we will protest, & we will do it all peacefully above all else”

Saw a protester sign today that read, Bovino isn’t tall enough to ride the rides at Valley Fair.

A few favorite signs from today's protest in Minneapolis

Photographs by Andrew Hazzard of the Sahan Journal, an excellent newsroom dedicated to reporting for immigrants in Minnesota. Not sure if he's on here but this sounds like the same incident.

Minneapolis, MN - The crowd already inside the Target Center are doing the wave. Minnesota is charmingly goofy.

This is one of the most insane protests I've ever been to. Tens of thousands of Minnesotans in -20°F (-28°C) cold with absolutely manic energy. We are going to throw these goddamn bastards out of our cities.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

that crowd doesn’t even include the people actively patrolling, doing mutual aid, and dozens of small protests on corners throughout the city during the march. really cannot adequately convey the size of this thing that is happening

LOONS UP GOONS DOWN

Motion for Minnesota to adopt the Laser Loon as our War Time Flag.

We've made this Sinister Minnesotans shirt from our Stan Kelly comic this week. Net proceeds from this shirt will be donated to local organizations doing their part to keep Minnesotans safe and send ICE agents home to ruin their own fucking communities. Fuck ICE and stay strong, Minneapolis.
