A gut punch with today's ICE Air flight at MSP - I thought we were going to make it the whole day without a flight for the first time since January 5th, but one popped up this evening.

66 detainees boarded today - the most we've seen in the last ten days.

3,137 are represented on this graph.

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but every Somali I represent in immigration court currently (8 of them) have today had their hearings cancelled and their judges reassigned. They're now all assigned to a video judge from Louisiana and scheduled for court hearing in one month. 🧵

The first rent checks from this fund are starting to go out. The community is so grateful and the need continues, so please give if you can.

Meanwhile, during all the delays, ICE agents are pressing detained individuals to self-deport, claiming they'll never get out otherwise. All AFTER the Court has ordered their release. And then when they are release, they're dumped on the side of the road, in 0° weather, in Crocs.

I'm all for this sentiment, but please also understand the economic pain goes beyond our hospitality industry. When over half the workforce is mobilized as civil servants for weeks to months, it hurts every business. We will need goodwill and government support. This is an economic disaster.
Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.

Wait wait wait, this "drawdown" is because sheriffs agreed to break state law to help DHS with nazi crimes on the stipulation their legal costs are covered when people rightly say hey fucko thats illegal? This isn't a drawdown, it is just replacing some DHS goons with regular cops

I don't know about anybody else, but I think that whiny letter from all those Minnesota businesses coming out right after only one day of a general strike is something we should remember.

Ok, moving back to this one. Let's get this funded. I'm in for $100. I can definitely vouch for @wrigleyfield.bsky.social
Someone I know in Minnesota, and trust completely, is raising money for someone in a truly harrowing and heartbreaking situation due to ICE.

Non-Minnesota people whose networks aren’t tapped out, want to help, and trust me, you can venmo me at @wrigleyfield & I will pass on the donation immediately

67% of the homicides in Minneapolis and 50% of the homicides in all of Minnesota this year have been committed by federal agents.

Read that again.

It's not even a matter of moderation, liberalism, or whatnot here in 2026. It's a simple matter of perceptional acuity, even if this test is one many Dem pols seem to fail:

*Do you know what time it is?*

Spanberger appears to know what time it is, and appears to govern her choices accordingly.
Spanberger is a moderate Democrat who used to work for the C.I.-fucking-A. It should put the actions of Schumer and Jeffries into perspective for everyone. Are they Republicans? Because they sure act like it.

They need to get the fuck out.
NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.

This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.

Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.

Minneapolis precinct 13-1 DFL caucus denied Council Member Linea Palmisano a delegate slot to the Hennepin County convention because she‘s supporting Frey Guy Anders Folk for County Atty & Frey Gal Dawanna Witt for Sheriff. She can only lead a convention walkout if upgraded from her alternate slot.

It’s hard to put into perspective how truly massive the warehouse is that was recently sold by the Rockefeller Group to the Department of Homeland Security for $70 million to build a concentration camp in Surprise, AZ. Across the street is a huge neighborhood and a school. It’s 400,000-square-feet.

I'd been trying to put this thought into words for a while. I can't do thinking about it and the more I think about it the madder I get
I'm so mad that we have to pass the hat around to pay landlords so our neighbors aren't forever screwed

Tomorrow City Council will be taking up “Pause Evictions, Save Lives” to temporarily increase the required notice for eviction to 60 days to give families an extra month to make rent.

No family should have to choose between keeping a roof over their head and risking being kidnapped by ICE.

The two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.

A large CAVA bag stuffed with what it says is $50,000 for White House Border Czar Tom Homan.

It’s been reported Homan took bribery money when he was recorded by the FBI accepting a bag full of $50,000 in cash.

Hi everyone, with no eviction moratorium happening in Minnesota, mutual aid organizations like @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social could always use more donations (I mean they always could be, but the need is getting ever bigger): linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

Guys we're almost out of money in this fund. I know it's getting a little warmer but it's still below freezing, please keep your neighbors warm
Y'all know I'm kind of a mess and I own gloves but I basically always forget them

Today between the grocery store and the car my hands went numb

And people are living outside in this.

It's a good time to throw some money at my friend who helps with heat ❤️
