Outside agitators? Please. You think anyone who didn’t live in Minnesota would be outside in this?

I feel such rage and resolve seeing this shit.

Just stocked up on toe and hand warmers for tomorrow’s protest. I’ll be in the balaclava, ski goggles, and snow pants. (High tomorrow is supposed to be -9F)

Tomorrow’s front page of the Minnesota Star Tribune: Jan. 23, 2026

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis. Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

I love you, Minneapolis

It is some kind of celestial joke that I am meeting the best fucking people at the worst possible moment

Sharing what CM Chavez put aptly— increased ICE activity in South Minneapolis, many reports today coming out of the 12th Ward. Please be safe and take care. It is legal to observe and document. Make sure you’re connected to your neighborhood networks.

"There's no time to notice that there's a dildo on the wall because, like, your family is being torn apart." Shout out to @smittenkittenmn.bsky.social for tireless mutal aid work for our vulnerable community members.

Once again, what—beyond saying some things on TV and social media—is @amyklobuchar.com doing as we're invaded by ICE?

Folks, this is a must read...

Calling them “protests” is lazy, inaccurate and plays into the false narrative that’s being used to justify further escalation by the federal government. 3/3

National media: Please stop describing what’s happening in Minneapolis as “protests.” There has been a modest, sustained protest outside the Whipple federal building, about 10 miles from downtown, but... 1/3

No ICE icon by Minneapolis artist Mike Hoyt.

How could you not want to live in a city where this happens?

They’re going to invoke the Insurrection Act to stand around in this.

Unfair. This is my favorite of the membranes.

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

If Angie Craig represents you, call her to register your displeasure. (202) 225-2271 (651) 846-2120

minneapolis city council vice president jamal osman, who represents cedar riverside, has shared a statement on the hateful anti muslim march tomorrow planned from downtown to that neighborhood calling for no protests there @ward6.minneapolismn.gov

Whistles at my house in S. Mpls are as ubiquitous as masks during COVID: in all my coat pockets, on the key rack by the back door, in the car...

ICE kidnapped 4 members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, released one, and now "can’t locate" the other three. America is at a legally impossible state where Native Americans aren't even considered Americans by ICE anymore.

Dear neighbor, It’s become common practice for ICE to stage its operations at the Target parking lot on East Lake Street. While immigration officials tear families apart, Target corporation is silent and makes its workers and customers feel unsafe. 1/

The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

"I was born in Mpls & I'm scared out of my mind because I have skin that's not white... There's a public health emergency because nurses aren't showing up to work because we're freaked out, because when we advocate for our Black & Brown patients, what happens when ICE comes into our hospitals?"

Multiple people have been taken this morning already in Northeast and we don’t have the same capacity on the streets that we’ve had throughout the week. Please come out and help us today and bring a friend we need more people outside so we can protect our neighbors.

If you’re in the Twin Cities and want to do the most minimal thing to annoy ICE, drive the fucking speed limit. These goons get so angry when 20 is plenty.

these are some pretty catastrophic approval numbers for ICE mom-murderers they will not improve

The surge of DHS agents into Minnesota has done tremendous harm to the people of Minnesota, and I urge those who have personally experienced or directly witnessed that harm to share their stories with my office. To submit a report, visit: ag.state.mn.us/Federal-Action/

This is pretty much everyone I know these days.

This could all lead to a worse outcome, but I desperately want to see the evidence photo of the snow shovel. Straight handle? Curved for back protection? Pusher shovel or lifter?

NYTimes has truly outdone itself with this latest in its "ask white guys in diner" genre. Thank goodness we get a perspective on what's happening in Minneapolis from people in **Nisswa** who probably mean Brainerd when they say they "prefer not to go the city anymore" www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/u...

@angiecraigmn.bsky.social was the ONLY Minnesota Democrat to vote for the Laken Riley Act. The only one to vote to praise ICE. Even today, with ICE in our streets, she stands by her pro-Trump votes.

And @mprnews.org’ Chris Farrell tried: www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” says one organizer. “The scale of it is so, so massive.”

Damn.

Or we could, you know, vow to protect our NATO ally against invasion, thereby securing Greenland’s freedom and independence.

Is “Signal fatigue” a term yet?

For ease of navigation and sharing, I have turned my little list into a website: standwithminnesota.org

ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

This is Minneapolis: "Due to escalated federal agent action in S Minneapolis today, we are recommending to add more patrol support to pick-up times at the following schools..." The list includes your kids' elementary (& the other 2 closest elementary schools). Folks jump in to help. 1/2

How has Amy Klobuchar showed up during this ICE surge?

this is like one of those "how many things can you find wrong with this picture" games

Dispatch from a neighbor and friend, @taylorcarik.bsky.social

we are going to win and mother nature is on our side ⛄️

I’ll say what Mayor Frey doesn’t want to say. Two words: ABOLISH ICE.

His whole remarks are pretty remarkable. Liberation theology lives. www.nhepiscopal.org/blog
