“Incarceration for profit is still the model. Why are we building jails in neighborhoods & they’re always bigger & never smaller?”

Mamdani administration moves forward with building a “jailscraper” in Chinatown, which residents have pushed back against for years, Morgan Gu reports.

Well-known Gaza journalist Bisan Owda had her account suspended from TikTok, she says, just days after the finalization of the company’s sale to U.S. investors — including a firm headed by the notoriously pro-Israel Larry Ellison. The journalist had 1.4 million followers on the platform.

Such a joy to be back with @repilhan.bsky.social in the #MN05 to meet with organizers & community members impacted by ICE's horrific violence.

We’ve heard from folks about the trauma & fear they're experiencing.

And yet, Minnesotans are holding the line & showing up for one another.

So these are all good things, but the executive order on 287(g) agreements should be stronger and there is nothing being done about the Plymouth County Detention Center, which is the only facility in the state that has an agreement with ICE.

Massachusetts—show up Saturday.

Nationwide protests are happening to demand ICE OUT OF EVERYWHERE!!!

ICE violence, child detention, and intimidation are real—and spreading. We rally at the MA State House at 11:30am to say no and build community care.

It’s cold, come anyway.
ICE OUT EVERYWHERE.

"The federal cowboys who flooded Minnesota streets actually ran headfirst into the state’s formidable civil society — a network of civically engaged people and organizations that makes this a risky place for the federal government to pick a fight with its own citizens," writes columnist Eric Roper
Roper: How Minnesota’s civic culture fueled a tough ICE resistance and took the feds by surprise
It’s not pleasant for people to go toe-to-toe with the federal government. But in this case, it’s very Minnesotan.

Rand Paul: "After seeing this, if you call this a good shooting you aren't watching the video. This was a real tragedy and a mistake. The man had been disarmed and then shot 10 times ... if we say things that are obviously not true, the situation is going to get worse."

The violent occupation of Minneapolis started with a vlog. I've wanted to find a framework to describe Nick Shirley & others like him: "Influencer" is too quaint. "Journalist" is obviously wrong.

I landed on "slopagandist."
