let’s not forget: there is NO FUCKING REASON for them to be there. there was no crisis, no incident, no event. just a barely-literate youtuber making up racist shit about Somalis

ICE Observers Paid ✅ ❌ Outside ✅ ❌ Agitators ✅ ❌

Popping out of the vehicle guns drawn and pointing them at a legal observer exercising her constitutional rights. Everything about this is reckless, dangerous, the opposite of law & order and keeping anyone safe… how do people see this and not see masked secret police style terror on US streets

oh shit we got hennepin hannah

Bathroom wall truth! #mpls

Known as the “crying horse,” a glum Lunar New Year toy with a manufacturing error has become an unlikely emblem. Many young Chinese workers have embraced it as a symbol of their exhaustion and disillusion. nyti.ms/4k9cAdO

At least 3,800 kids, including 20 infants, have been detained since Donald Trump returned to office.

There are 3,800 kids in ICE custody.

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

Just got my passport renewed and it came in 1 week!!! Noted the quote inside “And the government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth”

Dementia…

The reason Anne Frank's story has resonated with so many people over so many years is not because circumstances have to be exactly the same as her's for anyone to care, but because anything remotely like it is wrong, and societies moving in that direction should oppose it well before they get there.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Federal immigration officers tried to enter Ecuadorian consulate in Minneapolis but were stopped, foreign minister says www.axios.com/2026/01/28/i...

Two Democratic members of Congress attacked in three days. Maxwell Frost was assaulted on Saturday, Ilan Omar tonight.

her bodyguard did this dude a favor. she was coming at him like she just heard the bell ring.

Uh. So ICE just technically tried to invade Ecuador. Cool new international incident dropping.

Breaking MS NOW: Trump's Justice Department has decided there will be no civil rights investigation of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, and instead two units of DHS will investigate their own officers and the man they killed.

Oh my god

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him. “When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

Imagine being a congressman from Minnesota and caring so little about what’s happening here that you just copy and paste talking points. If you’re not writing your own statements and you’re not holding town halls, what exactly are we paying you for?

BREAKING Greg Bovino has been removed as Border Patrol "commander at large" and will return to El Centro Calif, where he is expected to retire soon. A stunning turnaround after Pretti killing. Bovino's traveling blue city crackdown is over www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I’m disappointed in my employer Target…this is next level.

Palantir employees are pressing company leadership over its work for ICE in internal company Slacks obtained by @wired.com "In my opinion ICE are the bad guys. I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this." Scoop from @makenakelly.bsky.social

"ICE OUT" on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, as seen from my flight leaving MSP airport

To Gregory Bovino: This is what brandishing a firearm at a protest looks like.

This was more impactful than reading it!

Pam Bondi sent a letter to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Saturday after the shooting demanding, among other things, they "turn over the state’s voter registration records to the Trump administration."

Never forget the Minnesota GOP invited Nick Shirley here & plied him with intel, resulting in targeted harassment of innocent people and ultimately, this occupation.

My neighbors will show up

Remember, in his first term Trump asked military leaders of protesters: “can’t you just shoot them.” Back then his officials refused. So he found ones who wouldn’t. This is what he’s always wanted. It’s not an accident. It was his vision. www.npr.org/2022/05/09/1...

As an ex-vangelical, this makes me think of what I believe is more likely the real story (if there is one) of Jesus feeding the masses: he didn't magic that shit-ton of loaves & fish into existence from a handful, he drew on a community's good will to short-notice feed and care for each other.

corporate elites have enabled this regime every step of the way. tepid, vacuous, both-sides shit like this isn't going to cut it. our @indivisible.org response from @leahgreenberg.bsky.social :

So with a large portion of this country stuck inside…if someone hadn’t heard the FACTS, they will have little to do but educate themselves.

One of the best organizers I know in the Twin Cities has a great line, "We can't always take away the hurt, but we can take away the alone."

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is true…We did not burn our own city!

This man is a minute from death and is staring fascism directly in the eye. Be strong. Always be the person who stares evil in the eye.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Mood in minneapolis right now

This was murder. Pretti did not initiate the confrontation. He didn’t strike them. He didn’t brandish his gun. They tackled him, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

This interview is outstanding. The constant violations of everyone’s Constitutional rights by these Federal thugs is beyond words. #iceout

Pink lady video is out!!! www.threads.com/@aaronparnas...

Woman tells Minnesota Public Radio that the man killed today was helping vehicle traffic get around the area where ICE agents and observers had started to gather and "next thing I knew, they shot him." www.mprnews.org/live-updates....

This is footage taken by some folks on their way to work this morning before the shooting. www.instagram.com/reel/DT5lGwI...

More proof that this was planned. The ICE agent is applauding the murder.
