The level of gay sleeper-cell activations that happened when Brandi Carlile played Alanis Morissette’s “Uninvited” tonight at MSG…unreal.

Up at night helping my new puppy adapt and settle in (she’s doing great). Shout out to my fellow embroidery buffs for posting your cross-stitch — the self soothing is real.

We lost my little dog a year ago today. Thirteen years and five days together; it’ll take several lifetimes to let him go. Dogs are the best and I’ll love mine forever. Rest in peace, byubs.

10/10 ICE protest sign

This was only about two time-lapsed minutes of the Alex Pretti memorial ride in Minneapolis today. I'd guess there were at least 5x more people there than this, and probably significantly more than that. Absolutely mind blowing love and support showing up on bikes today.

I live on the ride route and I cannot emphasize enough that the ride started passing my house 50 minutes ago and is 👏🏻 still 👏🏻 going 👏🏻. ICE OUT.

Fucking fire

Remember when I wondered if we would ship 100,000 whistles in January? Well, with the power of protective rage and collective compassion, we doubled that. 💞 Get whistles/help print/support us: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Laminated notice taped to a utility pole that reads: “ICE KIDNAPPED OUR NEIGHBOR HERE” “AQUÍ LA MIGRA SECUESTRÓ A NUESTRO VECINO.” “HALKAN IMMIGRATION-KA AYAA AFDUUBTAY DERISKEENA.” South Minneapolis, January 2026

New in PN: 'Abolish ICE' is imperative "There's no amount of training that can instill basic humanity in thugs who willingly mistreat women, children, and old men. ICE agents reportedly dined at a Mexican restaurant in MN before arresting employees. How will 'training' fix that level of depravity?"

ABOLISH ICE remains the demand. Conceding to MN withdrawal enables the violence and trauma to become more widespread in less organized communities. ABOLISH ICE

Love this so much

At the Alex Pretti memorial this afternoon, people are unfurling four very large banners. They read, "How many more will ICE murder? How many more funerals? How many more...how many more?"

love note #1422 came from eli in burlington vermont

i havent shut off the notification for this form and it has just been vibrating every minute in my hand. just a steady beat.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

This whole 🧵but/and it’s 50/50 this person was my mom. No joke.

“the agent took the child out of the still-running car, led him to the door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home, essentially using a 5-year-old as bait.” Agents later took the father and child away in a vehicle and sent them to Texas

🧵ICE's tactics for arresting and holding observers and protestors is ever-shifting, and I'm hearing lots of different stories. Right now, my perspective is that these are your best practices:

Every day brings a new level of rage never dreamed possible. A nesting doll of rages

If a Minnesotan says to you, "I don't plan to let you do that," run.

You have the people with a specific form of quiet, polite niceness named after them chasing you out of restaurants, confronting you at every turn, demolishing your cars, and staying up all night in sub-freezing weather just to ruin your sleep, and you think there's a possibility you might win?

Take a breath, do something today to prepare, either individually or with your community, and remember that we can win. Don't forget to say your affirmations:

“When I was small, not much bigger than a pollywog,” said Frog, “my father said to me, “Son, this is a cold, gray day but spring is just around the corner.”

What do folks know about how to fund the community in Cedar-Riverside directly?

"I am not scared, and we will not be scared. We know our rights. We’re U.S. citizens and we’re going to continue to show up" Someone make a movie about these folks ... it'd make a billion dollars I met two of them this week -- their bravery is inspiring stuff sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

Opinion: "[T]oo many of our elites never really believed in liberal values like equality, pluralism and the dignity of every person, so when it came time to stand up, they were more than willing to cave to save their fancy lives. So yeah, it’s on us. Which is the very thing that gives me hope."

Just another way to try and be helpful— if you are in another place where ICE decides to ramp up and would like to create a resource like standwithminnesota.com for your state, let me know and we can clone the site and set you up to get started.

hello. if you’ve been super plugged in and activated lately, if you woke up this morning and went from 0-100, i want to be the real hippie friend and invite you to be in your body for a few minutes with me i just did this meditation, maybe you can too. take some breathes. drink some tea.

The amount of organizing happening in a VERY short period of time is truly mind boggling. I've seen things come together in hours that, in the nonprofit & education spaces, would take weeks or MONTHS of planning and coordination. So, so proud of the Twin Cities right now.

Wherever you live, do everything to stop this. If it was your state, you would agree.

This is Minneapolis elementary school pick up: The alert also recommends: "Bring your whistle & wear your hat. If you have a respirator or goggles bring them in a small backpack. We don't want to show up looking alarming for the kids but chemical weapons are being used widely in the area." 2/2

“With each passing day, networks widen, tactics crystallize, and previously unconnected people find their bravery.” What can you do to push back? There is an answer within each one of us.

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*

Iykyk

God I love MPLS. The world’s greatest sex toy shop, Smitten Kitten, has become a mutual aid distribution site. A city wide PTA meeting was held to train teachers and parents how to physically put our bodies between ICE and our kiddos. MPLS throws down. Fuck ICE. They can’t handle the north.

As I went to bed last night, I couldn’t stop thinking about the same thing. I hope the rest of the country and the world see/understand just how remarkable & powerful Minnesota’s organizing and community response has been. It has been incredible to witness & an inspiration.

Seconding this: I’ve reported on ICE watchers in other cities, but I’ve been struck by just the sheer number of people I’m encountering out here who are publicly participating in ICE observation.

it is not better today. it is worse. friends in federal detention for observing. friends maced and attacked. friends in car chases with ICE. please keep your eyes open and keep listening and taking whatever action you can.

Hell yeah

Mayor Frey describes incident where federal agents snatched someone out of their car on 3rd Ave: "They left the car in the middle of the street. The car wasn't even in park. So you've got this vehicle that's rolling down the street with nobody in it."

Minnesota forever. youtu.be/_cCGzQtRXm4

Tens of thousands of us. I am so proud. Justice for #ReneeGood! Justice for #KeithPorter! #ABOLISHICE
