Bravo!!

So @lateonsetgirl.bsky.social has added a pre-release copy of her amazing new book WHAT WE ARE SEEKING along with a paperback of the reissue of her legendary 1996 Cyberpunk novel THE FORTUNATE FALL to the giveaway, and I'll be honest, that's probably cooler than what I'm offering!

I do gotta say that if anyone had told teenage me that someday I would be prepared to personally bail out an entire high school but the woman who made The Matrix did it instead I would definitely have been like “ok somebody needs their meds adjusted” What an absolute real one. Thank you, Lilly 😭

Someone was abducted in St Anthony this morning at 6 AM near 29th Ave & Silver Lake Road. And then at 8 AM we saw at least 5 agents out of their vehicles at 26th & Jackson near Walgreens before they dispersed into the neighborhood. This isn’t over. We still need people keeping watch & staying safe.

God fucking dammit. EVICTION MORATORIUM NOW @governorwalz.mn.gov

rep angie craig, running for US senate, spoke to UMN student dems in last night and finally had to address her vote in favor of the laken riley act! she was asked if she regretted it, or if her opinion had changed, and she said NO even after all the terror ICE brought to MN!

This is open to businesses statewide, not just Minneapolis! Share with small business owners that have been affected by the surge. ($4 million is a drop in the bucket for a $2billion foundation but that’s a fight for another day. Empty the coffers RT!)

Nate’s right, and it applies to the whole business community and their supplicant business press. The administration is trying to extinguish our economy and they’re silent or punching left or straining to both-sides a cataclysm. (Thanks to the small biz folk who’ve been so brave.)

Love to get alerts in the school signal chat of ICE agents circling my kid’s schools and taking photos of the parents on patrol.

Dangit I meant to re-post this earlier. Like in late morning or maybe mid-afternoon. Perhaps I will remember to do that tomorrow?

Cole is a must-read on this. Just Monday, I beat an eviction effort by a park in the Metro, owned by a California investment company, on behalf of a pro bono client. He's lived there for decades and they're throwing the book at him. Bad stuff afoot for the manufactured housing market.

As Kash Patel actively covers up the murders of Minnesotans, the Minnesota Wild GM invites him into the USA locker room. Awful look.

i am so tired of screaming from the rooftops that we have a looming, avoidable crisis of evictions brewing. everyone knows it, but yet government and philanthropy have no solutions. unpaid volunteers of rent funds are doing the work that the people who control the purse strings refuse to do

ICE was the quarry target this morning and then driving dangerously through northeast & downtown. ICE is still very much here and we need to make sure we still have people out keeping watch for our neighbors.

hot damn

Proposals show 141 or 215 new parking spaces for a site that is: - adjacent to B Line at Lake & Nicollet - 1 block from Orange Line at 35W & Lake St - adjacent to Route 18 returned to Nicollet (proposed K Line Arterial BRT) - adjacent to protected bikeway on 1st Ave - 1 block from Midtown Greenway

This one hits hard.

Whoa

New FOIA request reveals federal agents (HSI) shot and killed a 23 year old man while working with local police in Texas last March. Feds claim he was trying to run them over. His mother says state investigators told her videos of the shooting contradict this. www.cnn.com/2026/02/20/u...

Hey friends, the news cycle has moved on & donations/volunteers are way down… but we still need to feed our neighbors who don’t feel safe leaving home yet. We have been feeding 150 families/week & need more help! If I know you IRL & you want to help by grocery shopping this weekend, please DM me.

City of Minneapolis is considering two proposals for redeveloping the SE corner of the Nicollet Kmart site. In coming weeks city staff will recommend one option to the City Council for approval. View the proposals and take the survey by March 5: www2.minneapolismn.gov/government/p...

Aisha Gomez had a dozen wonderful moments in her floor speech last night. You should really watch the whole thing, but here are some of my favs. 1. Good riddance Bovino

There’s a lot of confusion about what’s happening on the ground in the Twin Cities right now, so I want to share an update from a community meeting yesterday, 2/19: 🧵 ⚠️ 1/6. We are still under attack. There may be fewer agents in town, but ICE is still very much in action in the Cities and suburbs.

i’m just trying to talk to enough press that Mackenzie Scott rolls into some MN rent funds with the checkbook, you know?

I hope John Roberts signed all his mortgage paperwork correctly

Dem lawmakers report 500 ICE agents remain (plus Homeland Security investigators) — which is about triple the pre-occupation force — and prisoners have been dispersed to county jails. www.startribune.com/fewer-than-5... (gift link)

I wish more media would cover the Minnesota Occupation for the failure that it was. Not only did it cause enormous damage, but they couldn't even put together a top 10 dangerous dudes list. They got like 1 deportation per agent over a 3 month period. Colossal failure from a bunch of mall cop losers

His reaction may drive a wedge between him and the court and make them more independent. Hie temper tantrums (like December-January 2020 in Georgia) tend to compound his problems.

The cover-up just never ends. Rest in peace, Ruben Ray Martinez.

Minnesota residents and lawmakers say the promised drawdown has not materialized, and they are seeing ICE use more covert tactics to continue operations across Twin Cities suburbs. By @ncsscibelli.bsky.social

News you can use, from the @wired.com security team (who are the best in the biz). They asked technologists, activists, aid groups, and cybersecurity experts for guidance on how to organize and collaborate in an age of surveillance. Here’s the result:

"Her organization has been receiving reports of agents going door-to-door pretending to be environmental canvassers. These tactics have had an impact on her organization’s canvassing group, who are now at risk of being furloughed while ICE operations continue." sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

All of this. The anti-corruption party

The Star Tribune, Target, the Downtown Council, Regional Chamber, Wells Fargo, US Bank, United Health Group, Best Buy, and 3M need to step up and invest IN Minneapolis in a recovery, instead of expecting a trickle-down miracle. If they don't do it themselves, tax the shit out of them.

With Haven Watch volunteers outside the immigration detention center in Fort Snelling — before they met freezing detainees released at the gate and gave them blankets.

Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help. “A bunch of agents jump out and tackle him, essentially restraining him, and take him away...His six kids are now without their father." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

ICE agents are still out there this morning, photographing schools from unmarked vehicles and then quickly leaving after being confronted. Keep your heads up.

Everyone who worked at this camp should go to prison.

Former Minneapolis Mayoral Candidate DeWayne Davis: “You won’t break us, you won’t stop us, we’ll continue! We’ll keep singing! We’ll keep blowing those whistles! We will protect our neighbors! We won’t leave! You won’t break out souls!”

ICE is still out and about, they’re driving around, even getting new cars. Head on a swivel.

Do you like to drink AND keep our neighbors housed? Well, I’ve got an event for you! bit.ly/barcrawl4rent

Y'all may have heard about the incident last week where ICE agents pretended to have car trouble to lure someone from his house so they could abduct him. Here is the GoFundMe for his family. www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

Along these lines: if you live in Minneapolis, the Hennepin County Attorney we elect this fall is going to be the lawyer in charge of prosecuting ICE agents for the murders and atrocities they committed against us. That's why I'm supporting Cedrick Frazier.

The amazing thing about colonoscopies is that they don't just detect cancer, they prevent it by snipping off any polyps they find before they turn cancerous.

Wow.

hello minnesota and beyond! thank you for your kind messages. it is very weird to be the news when you cover the news. i love this beautiful state and journalism, and i am hopeful for better days. but we will be forever changed bc of the last two months.

“You ever stop to think how much more smoothly Minneapolis politics would function if Jacob Frey could be just like 15% less of a dick?” I do. I do indeed.
