So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE. And this is what they called it. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/21/n...

Donald Trump won in 2016 and 2024 because anti-system voters flocked to him. Democrats need a strategy for competing with anti-system voters in 2028. This is, in some ways, a very strong case for nominating someone like AOC over Newsom. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/meet-ameri...

The 2-month-old baby in ICE detention was so sick he was hospitalized and unresponsive last night. Despite that, today, he and his entire family were deported. Now we don’t know where they are or if the baby is receiving healthcare.

This poll from CBS News/YouGov contradicts the popular claim that voters think Democrats are as ideologically extreme as Republicans

Even older than the Republic…

Since ICE’s Operation Metro Surge began in Minnesota in December, federal immigration agents have arrested some 4,000 people, according to the DHS. The result is an avalanche of cases filed on behalf of people challenging their imprisonment—and it’s pushing the US court system to a breaking point.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

the statute that Jeanine Pirro reportedly tried to indict congressional Dems under, 18 USC 2387, was originally passed as part of the 1947 Smith Act, a notorious law used to clamp down on free speech during the Red Scare

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

The ICE occupation hasn’t slowed down in Minnesota. We’re still doing everything we were doing two weeks ago to protect our neighbors.

This article is fantastic AND those of us who’ve been organizing since early December are oh-so-very tired. Time for the second wave of folks to jump in and take on more so we can rest a bit. If you have capacity, plug in with whatever’s happening in your neighborhood.

I know that everybody is absolutely overwhelmed by the need right now, but I want to let folks know about Zion Community Commons. They’ve been feeding our neighbors in Saint Paul and across the region for years, and right now they’re getting food to thousands of families who can’t leave their homes.

Organizers are trying a new tactic to slow and deter federal agents from entering city neighborhoods, pop-up block parties in the middle of city streets. Tom Homan, the Trump administration border czar, calls the attempts by residents to prevent his ICE agents from doing their jobs “a joke.”

JUST IN: A federal judge has barred ICE and DHS from using taxpayer information provided by the IRS. Judge Talwani says that DHS' view that noncitizens lack 4th amendment rights — combined with ICE use of administrative warrants — is a recipe for abuse. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

According to FOX 9, a Minneapolis federal judge demanded to know why DOJ is missing deadlines & AUSA Julie Le said, "The system sucks, this job sucks" & asked to be held in contempt so she could sleep. PACER shows she got assigned to defend the govt in 88+ cases since Operation Metro Surge started.

BREAKING: Judge Ana Reyes, in DC, issues a stay of DHS Sec. Noem’s decision to end Haiti’s temporary protected status (TPS) designation, a decision that was to go into effect on Tuesday and could have ended legal status for up to 350,000 people overnight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Keith Ellison: "The president is openly promoting authoritarianism and tyranny. That is what's happening in America. Most of us thought we would never see it, but here it is right in front of our eyes."

Bad Bunny at the Grammys: "Before I say thanks to God, I want to say ICE out. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens, we are humans, and we are Americans."

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

This is...pretty emphatic bsky.app/profile/andy...

The nazis redistributed the stolen property of deported Jews to the German population. It was called Aryanization. This is no different. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryaniz...

FLAG: Federal agents were told this week that they have broader power to arrest people without a warrant, according to an internal ICE memo reviewed by NYT. The change expands the ability of lower-level ICE agents to carry out sweeps rounding up people they suspect are undocumented immigrants.

NEW: School hallways are silent. Grandparents patrol outside in shifts. Two more kids taken from Liam Ramos' school. Trump isn't deescalating ICE at all at MN schools. “I stopped wearing my high heels to work. I wear my boots to work because I have had to run." www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-mi...

New from me: It is not just that the US is experiencing democratic backsliding. Authoritarianism has emerged more quickly than in other benchmark countries. This graph from John Burn-Murdoch sums it up. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/autocracy-...

Deeply dark and dystopian and worrying.

“We had to deliver them to a detention center,” principal Jason Kuhlman said about the second grader and fifth grader.

Noem auditioning her inevitable legal defense

“I watched him die… then I watched them maneuver his body like a rag doll— only to discover it was because they wanted to count the bullet wounds and see how many they ‘got’, like he was a deer.”

The Minnesota civil resistance campaign has been remarkably successful: - The GOP governor candidate dropped out - Numerous DOJ officials resigned - GOP members of Congress are speaking out; business feels pressure - Noem has been relieved of operational responsibility The campaign is winning.

The march is now passing the Chicago city hall / Cook County hall building. The chant goes up, "Minnesota don't you fear, we, the people, are right here"

Absolute banger of a comment on r/military: www.reddit.com/r/Military/c...

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

White supremacy requires us to remain loyal to our whiteness in order to be afforded the protections of said whiteness. You stand with immigrants, Black and brown folks? You forfeit those privileges and no longer receive those protections, and you will perhaps be shot in the street as a result

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

Protesters in Los Angeles projected an anti-ICE video onto the Twin Towers, an ICE-linked detention facility where the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department actively collaborates with ICE for deportation screenings.

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

There is no injury more irreparable than death.

Mood in minneapolis right now
