This was incredible. We fed 40 families today. Thank you to @jchavezmpls.bsky.social for helping fundraise, @elitalksmpls.bsky.social for organizing with me, and the dozen people who helped us pack and shop. And thank you to everyone who donated. I have no words.

I attended a demonstration in my area with my MN state flag. It caused a hubbub (in a good way) one thing lead to another; I was giving a short speech. This isn’t something I normally do but share it as a reminder:

We can all be braver than we were yesterday, last month, last year. Indeed we must.

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.

The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.

This is not protection. This is occupation.

In Minneapolis this afternoon—

Hundreds are streaming across the snow and ice into Powderhorn Park for a rally and march demanding ICE leave Minnesota.

It is bitterly cold. There are hardcore Midwesterners out here making their way in with trekking poles.

Amy Klobuchar: "There are now more ICE agents in Minnesota than there are police officers combined in Minneapolis and St. Paul. So they are outnumbering our own local police officers out on the streets."

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

I have years of memories on my bike, with my dog, on long runs, on public transport, driving my 1st used car thru my 20s on these streets. Mpls is the greatest community I’ve known and it contains multitudes. I understand non-MN’ans don’t know us like we know ourselves, but trust me: you wish you do

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

"DHS has shown that harm is not a mistake; it is how the system works."

This entire statement from LUCE in Massachusetts is fantastic.

Now, more than ever, we all need to step up to keep our communities safe. Considering joining this work: www.lucemass.org
LUCE IMMIGRANT JUSTICE NETWORK OF MASSACHUSETTS The LUCE Immigrant Justice Network is devastated by the murder of a Minnesota resident in a shooting that should never have happened. Our hearts are with Renee Nicole Good's family and with everyone grieving this profound loss. This tragedy underscores why community protection is not optional, but necessary. Time and again, systems that claim to keep people safe fail to do so. In the context of federal immigration enforcement, violence is not an exception - it is embedded in daily practice. @LUCE_hotline lucemass.org DHS has shown that harm is not a mistake; it is how the system works. In 2025 alone, 32 people lost their lives in ICE detention, the deadliest year on record. Families have had car windows smashed, children ripped from their caregivers, and loved ones locked in inhumane conditions without adequate food or medical care. This violence is not new or accidental. It is built into immigration enforcement and is being intensified under this administration. This reality does not make collective protection wrong -- it makes it urgent. When institutions fail, we must rely on one another by organizing, staying connected, and building networks rooted in care and accountability. @LUCE_hotline lucemass.org

Our reporters are on site at the vigil - network congestion preventing uploads currently. We would estimate up to 10,000 people are attending the vigil near 34th and Portland Avenue in Minneapolis at this time.

I hate to break it to you, but heavily-armed government militias are roaming unchecked through US cities and shooting human rights observers dead in the streets. That's happening in our country.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.

www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Emily Heller lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations. Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here.” “She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said. Heller said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car.
