A federal judge is considering whether to temporarily limit the tactics of immigration agents in Minnesota after hearing arguments in a lawsuit alleging mistreatment of Twin Cities residents by ICE agents. www.startribune.com/federal-judg...

If 3,000 federal agents land in Minnesota, their footprint will be bigger than the 10 largest metro police departments combined.

take a second to really wrap your head around this.

PSA: it’s going to be warm enough to chop ice (like actual literal ice) for another hour or two before the temperatures go below freezing and stay there. If you still have ice on your sidewalks or walkways, do your neighborhood pedestrians a solid and clear the way while you still can!

A lot of non-Minnesotans are asking how they can help people in the Twin Cities. Here's a very easy way that will cost you absolutely nothing. Do not vent in the replies to videos or other posts from Minnesotans. We're all on edge, and your rageposting and doomposting isn't what we need right now.

It’s up to $19 billion now! A recent @startribune.com review of court records showed the total fraud alleged in Minnesota’s social services programs so far is about $218 million. That’s a lot, to be sure, but nowhere near what the president keeps claiming. www.startribune.com/trump-claims...

Top DOJ officials quit after Civil Rights Division refused to probe Minnesota ICE shooting www.ms.now/news/doj-civ...

A few thoughts on the Minneapolis homicide (from the former head of policy at ICE): 1. The perp was shooting towards his colleagues - wildly out of training. 2. If Good posed a threat worth shooting her over, ICE needed to confirm she was in fact disabled post-crash. That they did not is telling.

NEW: Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

ICE is using an array of tools and programs to track people's social media activity and location. But 404 Media journalist Joseph Cox told Minnesota Now host Nina Moini that there's a "solid and robust" way to help combat even more surveillance: turning off your phone's location services.

We started to get reports of observers being harassed by ICE and talked to a woman who was threatened with arrest and insulted (it seemed unique then). Then we rode along with activists and observed a chaotic ICE action not far from where Good was later killed. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...

Anecdotally, my wife just returned from running some errands around northeast Minneapolis. There were very few cars on the road. She stopped into the Surdyk's deli and it was dead, the premade lunch options uncharacteristically not picked over. Very unusual for the weekday lunch hour.

One thing I wanted to convey here, at least in brief form, was the magic of Bob Weir's approach to rhythm guitar, which is singular and IMO underappreciated www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

In extraordinary message, Fed chair announces that he’s being extorted/coerced by the US government under color of law.

Always good advice

Before opening your door to ICE, know your rights, as recommended by the Immigrant Law Center. Remember to assert them calmly and safely. Info also available in: Soomaali, Español, Hmoob, Afaan Oromoo ➡️ https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/MPLS/bulletins/403db4d

It goes without saying that everyone capturing video of lawless activity should take measures to back it up and preserve it, along with relevant details like time, location, notes about what happened, etc

An arsonist hit a Mississippi synagogue Saturday. Seven Torahs were damaged or destroyed in the fire. One Torah, from the Holocaust, was in a glass case and wasn't touched. The same synagogue was bombed by the KKK in 1967. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...

NEWS: A day after the Minneapolis shooting, Secretary Noem quietly signed a new policy barring congressional visits to ICE facilities without a week's advance notice. That policy change led to three MN Dems being blocked from accessing an ICE facility today. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

This is probably true

RIP Bob Weir. Hard to even begin to fathom what an incredible life he lived. He was only 16 when he joined the Grateful Dead. What a shitty end to a shitty week.
