Hey Minnesota. What’s your vibe today? Sound off. (Here or wherever feels good to you)

I’m feeling pretty determined to go about living our lives - gonna get the kids out of the house - and to double down on mutual aid and resistance art.

a non comprehensive list of things MN are doing right now

legal observing in a rapid response group

legal observing because they happened to be in their community and came across ICE

participating in or supporting rapid response groups

safety patroling their schools, businesses, daycares

I call Klobuchar and Smith all the time. Calling Smith feels useful and productive. I call Klobuchar to yell (not at the staffers, never that, be nice to them and also it’s their job to hear us complain about their boss).

I call Ilhan when I need a break and I say thank you for being great.

I drove home from 28th and Lyndale to about 50th and Lyndale at around 8pm. Nearly every intersection had people gathered, holding candles. Lake street was lined with people. It was beautiful and so sad. I’m so tired of being sad for my beautiful city.

Minneapolis genuinely has phenomenal political leadership, just not in the Mayor or Governor’s offices.

Thank you to my Council President 🫡❤️
I’ve been here on the scene all morning. Right after recording the convoy you can see in the background of the video tear gassed me.

So Friday was a success. Do we do that every Friday until they get out? Raise your hand if you would do that every Friday, Minneapolis. Do we do it every day until they leave?

@ag.state.mn.us would be good to hear what your office is doing to get the phones, videos, statements, etc from the people ICE is detaining
Mayor, Governor, Police Chief and County Attorney and their staff need to make the safety of these witnesses and the preservation of their statements a top priority
Per this report ICE has detained several witnesses

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.
January 24, 2026 at 4:41 PM
I mean, how could the know if they’re harboring murderers or not? It’s a safety concern and a liability. Evict all ICE agents asap.
Hotels must evict ICE NOW

Absolutely. Wolves should refuse to play until ICE is out. I promise other players would join. Shut down the whole league. Is this emotional fantasy? Probably.
The Minnesota Timberwolves absolutely need to postpone their game today.

Stop pretending everything is normal.

Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.

They took away NPR’s money.

The future is unknown.

We can take their money, too.

Yeah, it’s a hard road, but we have to do it. Every path of resistance. All of ‘em.

What we learned after they killed Renee Good is that they don’t stop operations the day they kill someone.

It only increases in other parts of the Cities.

So we keep patrolling. we can’t even stop to mourn.

The Strib is a stodgy, status quo-protecting news organization. But they’re shining a spotlight on the right things lately.

Also lol at @klobuchar.senate.gov’s big news under the fold. As one of the most powerful people in MN she has utterly failed to meet this moment. Eternal shame to you, Klobs!

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage.

Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.
