Rep. Ansari Statement on United States Attack on Iran.

A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.

Footage from Minab, Iran, shows the aftermath of an Israeli-US strike on a girls' elementary school that reportedly killed more than 50 people.

This is the most important thing on the internet rn 🤣😭

New MN Poll: - 64% disapprove of how ICE handling its job - 66% say ICE has gone too far - 88% say ICE agents should not be granted immunity Minnesotans agree: end Metro Surge. Hold ICE accountable.

When the world falls into chaos, it’s women who hold the line. Glamour photojournalist Erin Trieb took to the streets of Minnesota to document women holding the city together amid the ongoing ICE and CBP operations. Watch as she takes us behind the scenes of her experience on the front lines.

“Millennial women were told we can do anything,” she says. “I was a girl-power Spice Girl. I read books about little girls seeing injustice and doing something about it. This is my moment. I’ve been training for this since I was eight.” -Mandi Jung

Very big win here. A federal judge says it's just fine for funds and pension plans to boycott fossil fuels www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/c...

🚨 I just introduced my DRAIN ICE legislation package to repeal the tens of billions Trump and Republicans handed ICE last summer, force accountability for deadly detention center conditions, and save lives now. I’m urging my colleagues to sign on.

This week made it plain: data centers are beating heavy industry in the fight for power. Century Aluminum just sold its Hawesville smelter site to a data center: proof that in today’s economy, whoever can pay more for electricity wins. www.courier-journal.com/story/news/l...

"Should the forces of decency ever regain the upper hand in DC, we need a monument to the people of Minneapolis on the National Mall, and busts of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in the capitol."

pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor: "Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government

🚨 BREAKING: Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state www.startribune.com/chris-madel-...

There were more than 200 neighbors holding candles out on our street corner tonight - The same corner where twice yesterday vehicles attempted to hit protestors. They don't get to take our safety and our community away from us.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

YOUR PHONE CALLS TO THE SENATE ARE WORKING. KEEP CALLING. 202–224-3121 Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.

ALL MN PROTESTERS Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.

trying to remember people are working to stop this everywhere

Yall outside of MN need to know that observers are STILL out protecting their neighbors. Right now. They know the news and they’re still out there.

We lost two neighbors today to ICE abductions. The kids are off school tomorrow but we'll be at a different elementary school packing boxes for families too afraid to leave their homes. We are more organized each day and we won't stop until these assholes leave.

What people know about publicly is only a fraction of the work actually going on, much of which is being done very quietly for the safety/security of our vulnerable neighbors. Truly inspired by so many people (you know who you are) right now. And truly surreal that any of this is even necessary.

Less than a dozen protesters with him, and then pelted with a water balloon* in 14⁰ F weather To quote @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, we are going to win *originally heard through @theexpensivewino.bsky.social

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

As part of the Cedar Riverside Protection Alliance, “Mamas of Cedar” patrol the neighborhood, educate residents of their rights and provide food for those who need it.

Lmfao 😂 Jake Lang is experiencing the finding out phase in Minneapolis.

So moved by the people of Minnesota who—drawing on LA, Portland, Chicago, DC etc—are writing a shining new chapter in the history of nonviolent resistance. The rest of us need to be taking notes—and helping them! www.standwithminnesota.com

Community members gathered for Renee Good. Indigenous Roots, a Minnesota-based cultural institution, held a moment of remembrance - honoring her life through traditional Native dance.

Make it viral.

a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content

This is a video of federal immigration officers murdering a woman who was not attacking them. In Minneapolis, today. The United States Constitution protects all people in the United States, Conservative and Liberal. Its suspension will eventually harm all people, Conservative and Liberal.

This is vindictive political retribution. For over 25 years, Senator Mark Kelly defended our country and our freedoms—including the First Amendment. Punishing a veteran to silence political speech is authoritarian. Trump and Hegseth have never been more un-American.

A big part of this post's problem: a weirdly narrow view of "demand side policy". Building a bike lane is a demand-side policy. Setting a climate target is too. So is a campaign to stop a fossil-powered data centre, or ban private jets, or shut down a coal plant early.

The world's biggest earth science conference is happening right now, and there are literally hundreds of presentations involving NCAR people. It's impossible to understate how central the lab is to the climate and weather science enterprise

The man who heroically tackled and disarmed one of the Bondi Beach gunmen has been named: The hero’s name is Ahmed al Ahmed, a 43-year-old father of two, who owns a fruit shop.

In South Minneapolis, Minnesota, nearly two dozen neighbors confronted and surrounded ICE goons after rapid-response alerts were issued. The goons were questioning an East African man when the situation escalated, and they eventually left the area without making any arrests.

We are proud to kick off the 2025 MITI Forum this morning in Virginia, MN. Together with our partners and stakeholders, we are coming together in a shared goal: to accelerate the Upper Midwest’s role in leading the next generation of industrial innovation. https://bit.ly/4oASY3G

We need thousands of electricians to break free from fossil fuels. Just saw the real work at @ibewinternational.bsky.social Local 242 Edmonton—union apprentices building our clean future. THIS is how we fight climate breakdown AND create family-sustaining jobs. #cdnpoli

Now is the time to prepare a big offshore wind play. Trump is nationalizing parts of companies like Intel & US Steel. Let’s use industrial policy for good– advancing OSW for low cost energy, good jobs, & decarbonization. Read the full report: climateandcommunity.org/research/off...

The only two places in the world free of mosquitoes are Antarctica and Iceland — that is, until now. This month, three specimens were discovered in Iceland, which is warming four times faster than any other country in the Northern Hemisphere.

Great @billmckibben.bsky.social piece on the natsec benefits of solar. This is exactly what @councilonstrategicrisks.org has found in our Renewable Energy is National Security project -- countries that invest in clean energy are more resilient in today's competitive geopolitical environment.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

The lesson of the Trump era is to stick with your principles. He’s coming for you anyway, whether you do or not, so you might as well stick to your principles so people don’t laugh at you afterward and you can look yourself in the mirror.

If you get the urgency of planning for escalating climate risks in smart and engaged ways, this 30-day workshop is for you. Check it out: alexsteffen.substack.com/p/the-person...

Love to say these words: “We’re hiring.” You may not see the phrase ‘climate change’ anywhere in the job description but trust — it’s in there nrri.umn.edu/news/externa...

I'll continue to be "I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win"-posting, so figure I should address this point that seems to come up every so often Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?" A: yes

Quite an interesting revelation here given that this data center would be served by Minnesota Power, the utility that BlackRock is trying to acquire as it seeks to cash in on every part of the AI gold rush
