I've written a few books, and I like to rant about gender and hyperlocal Minneapolis politics. Thorn in the side of the DFL: abetterdfl.org. Cat Dad. They/them.

Not only have @doronclark.bsky.social & @elliottpayne.org been providing great regular updates to constituents, but today I also witnessed them both confront ICE agents in our community and then those ICE left without kidnapping neighbors.

Let’s join them out in our community defend612.com

Hey @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social, where‘s your outrage now? Anyone who was fooled by his performance on Wednesday should know he’s reviled by many in Minneapolis. (MPD reports directly to him, btw)
The Minneapolis Police Department has declared tonight’s protest outside a downtown hotel an unlawful assembly, calling it a public nuisance, and ordered the crowd to disperse. bit.ly/3Yu1KW3

(spoilers for traitors) I'm watching and Portia's strategy hinges on convincing people that Michael Rappaport is smart and ...

I'm sorry, that's not going to happen, baby.

They are weak-willed, small men with easily bruised egos.

We will outlast them.
We will outlast them. they are not made of strong stuff.

It's because we are.
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.

Local assisted living facilities are taking additional security measures because the residents don’t want their care to be interrupted when ICE abducts their staff. Schools are closed for the safety of students, faculty, and staff. There is no facet of society or stage of life unaffected.
Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

I’m sorry but if you’re gonna come to drag race and talk loudly through it, you shouldn’t be here

yeah that's just minneapolis. Wait til you see our Battle Train.
Seen some people suggesting the new shooting video is AI because you can see a dinosaur in the background at one point. But, uh, there’s just a dinosaur on a car on that street. Here’s Google Street View.

new rule: if you don't know what the pencil sharpening refers to, you can't comment on minneapolis politics.
seriously though, the people confused about our Car Dinosaur really need to understand our Pencil Sharpening.

ahhahahahah get fucked
Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.

This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

Federal government won't share evidence with state law enforcement. Will leak to news outlet that spreads conspiracy theory that George Floyd wasn't murdered.

that was not a man fearing for his life that was a man on a power trip. she turned her steering wheel so far to the right it's very clear she had no intention of hitting anyone she was just trying to get away from a situation that was being actively escalated by ICE. This is just sickening and evil.

Alpha News released Ross's video.

he's circling her car, she reverses to make room, tells him it's fine she's not mad, he finishes circling her car as more agents pull up & aggressively pull on her door/reach through her window. she moves to drive away & he shoots 3 times and calls her a bitch.

Noted Gavin for President and ResistLib bluewavers standing up for Frey in my mentions because their politics is not a politics of action but rather one of bluster. Fuck the fuck off.

I love people not from my state trying to explain how my city works with information that is five years out of date.
January 9, 2026 at 6:24 PM
Hey, FYI, AlphaNews has Jonathan Ross's own cell phone footage of him killing Renee Good. It's clear that the right wing thinks this footage is exonerating.

It's not.

For one, he calls her a bitch when he shoots her. Second, he's clear of the car when he shoots. Third: why did he have his gun out?

It was O'Hara, less than six weeks ago.

Many of us said "Watch his actions, not what he says."

And here we have the proof.
Who was the MN police chief who said he’d fire his officers if they did not intervene to protect citizens? Was that O’Hara? I thought it was MPLS but maybe it was St Paul?

What happened to O'Hara's "you'll be fired" thing when it came to to assisting ICE agents? I knew it was going to be bullshit lip service. #FucklCE
So hey, while Frey is doing soundbytes and spouting off, Sheriff Dawanna Witt and Frey's Police Chief Brian O'Hara's people were at HCMC last night protecting ICE agents, refusing to trespass them from the ER waiting room there despite requests from the hospital, and elected officials.

This morning in Minneapolis, an ICE vehicle got stuck on an icy hill in a residential neighborhood. Agents had to push the vehicles out, some almost slipping in the ice themselves.

The evidence is increasingly pointing to the probability that an ICE agent killed a woman after misreading her as a threat because he was distracted by his simultaneous effort to record her so he could upload her image to a facial recognition database.
We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands.
