In addition to all the photographers documenting what it looks like in Minneapolis, shout-out to photo editor Alan Taylor, who has incredible talent and skill in curating a perfect collection of shots that capture a theme or moment. Stellar visual work by all here.
Photos: Minneapolis Neighborhoods vs. ICE
In recent days, federal immigration agents continued enforcement actions in Minneapolis and St. Paul, while state officials fight the Trump administration in court and local residents confront the mas...

The mental health community was having heart attacks yesterday, so this is good news. But the way our Health Dept is working is harming Americans.
The last thing Americans who are struggling with addiction or mental health problems needed was this chaos.

RFK, Jr. owes the American people some answers as to why he did this.

Also how TikTok works.
A lot of people get old and slip into "whatever's on TV" living. That was ok when it was Andy Griffith reruns, bad when it was cable news, but worse when it's this.
Went back home & saw how my mom watched Chinese TV. A back to back YouTube AI slop of consciousness. I've never seen videos like this before. About teeth, Costco deals, healthy eating... no pauses & unhinged. "This is all just unchecked AI nonsense! Stop, mom!" I said as I snatched the remote away.

Remarkable: David Shor's firm is circulating a memo among Dems that finds footage of ICE shooting significantly drives up Trump's disapproval. I obtained the memo here.

It also finds broad support for Dem plans to rein in ICE. If even Shor's firm is finding this...

The % of women in new senior leadership appointments in 16 countries peaked in 2022 at 34.8% but has fallen for 3 years to 32.8% in 2025. McKinsey finds companies in the top quartile for gender diversity are up to 25% more likely to outperform financially. www.weforum.org/stories/2026...
Why gender-balanced leadership matters in uncertain times
A growing coalition of leaders is taking decisive action to accelerate gender parity in leadership. Five of them explain why diversity is the first step toward building resilience.

In a press release, the ACLU says the Trump administration cannot lawfully re-detain Mahmoud Khalil until the order takes formal effect, which will not happen while Khalil has the opportunity to seek immediate review—including en banc review from Third Circuit Court of Appeals.

Minnesota lawyers: this doc is intended to serve as a living, iterated-on clearinghouse for volunteer opportunities. It's very much a work in progress, but I'll be updating it as resources develop.

Everyone has something to contribute regardless of practice area or experience. Let's get to work.

Another thing you should know about the Twin Cities, if you're not here, is that while the mayor and governor tell us to stay calm on TV, our council members and other local electeds are on the street patrolling and protecting neighbors, doing mutual aid, and otherwise serving the community.

So ~1 week after they killed Renee Good, ICE chased a man, shot and injured him reportedly through the door of a home, then blanketed a majority Black neighborhood in a tremendous amount of chemical weapons and flash grenades in the middle of the night. That's where we're at.

These Mf'er Republicans are destroying our nation.

They are planning to steal the elections or prevent them from happening in the first place, and this is no longer hyperbole at all
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

What happens when you create a domestic paramilitary force with dopes who failed high school civics

(also why are “fighting words” not protected? What are “fighting words,” exactly? Would “fucking bitch” be “fighting words”? just asking)

Not sure who needs to hear this, but the Insurrection Act isn’t the same as “martial law.” It authorizes the molitary to engage in civil law enforcement. And not clear that even then, whether they can enforce state criminal laws

Noem is blackmailing tribes into "cooperating" or else they will not release tribal members from concentration camps.
The Department of Homeland Security is refusing to release information on 3 detained Oglala Lakota tribal members who are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp for Native people, unless the tribe enters into an immigration agreement with ICE.
Oglala Sioux Tribe accuses federal authorities of treaty violation after four members detained by ICE
“Members of the Oglala Sioux Tribe are United States citizens. We are the first Americans.”

- Implement the Insurrection Act
- Declare Martial Law
- Suspend elections

As usual, the story here isn't about "divides" or cosmopolitan elites looking down on rural populations. It is about radicalization. This woman wants violent vengeance for things that did not happen.

Your street can be flooded with thugs and tear gas next if we do not stop this insanity.

They are doing this due to RACISM, nothing else.
More gas, more flashbangs. Feds reappeared, made that arrest. People screaming for medics.
January 15, 2026 at 3:08 PM
you can find example after example of these racist thugs grabbing someone, then driving off and gassing the neighborhood on their way out.
The smaller fed vehicle has left the scene. Deployed some more gas on their way out.

These thugs love using mass amounts of tear gas and spraying pepper spray in peoples' faces. They are sick, sick cowards who love to toss some gas out the window as they drive off.....
More information from the guy whose car had smoke grenades and other stuff thrown in it. The baby's heart stopped and EMS was called to the scene. Yeah, ICE may have almost killed a 6 month old baby yesterday

Never believe the statement from cops when they shoot a civilians. NEVER believe them
This was reported as being the emergency call & video by the wife of the man who was shot in Minnesota tonight & based on this call, it appears that DHS is lying yet again.

I have trouble hearing everything they're saying but did a little translation so you can understand what's being said.

A seamstress named Elsy Noemi Berrios was forcibly detained by masked agents who did not present a warrant.

Elsy is about 52 years old & has an asylum case pending in court.

Her teenage daughter filmed this terrifying scene.

If they can do it to her, they can do it to you.

Speak out now!
