Today’s Alex Pretti Unity ride sounds amazing, but a local community group asked me to do one tomorrow (Sunday) for anyone who couldn’t make it today, so if you’re interested in a South Minneapolis 5-miler on 95% protected lanes, DM me.

There’s a @mprnews.org story about local police in St. Peter, MN helping a local woman evade the clutches of ICE agents. I don’t see it in their website yet. They said it appears to be the first such incident in Minnesota

It's Bruce Springsteen.
Tom Morello is doing a noon show at First Avenue in Minneapolis, and the Timberwolves chaplain just posted that he just saw Bruce pull up to the venue.

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

If anybody ended up with an extra ticket for the Tom Morello show at First Ave on Friday, I will do absolutely anything in return to join you. Anything. Make a giant donation in your name? Done. Upper-deck your boss' executive toilet? Done. Just name it. DMs open

A modern hero we can all get behind

God I'm sad
They broke his rib a week before, and he was back out there protecting his neighbors when they murdered him.
CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed “That day he thought he was going to die”

As an advocate for density, these last couple weeks have made me think a lot about how density forces us to support each other. Not literally, but the whistles have a much bigger impact where people can hear them.

I worry about the less dense areas struggling to fight back because of this.

Not surprising I know, but this as a standard practice in my eyes meets the definition of premeditation. There is certainly a possibility of death.

Those two together should mean something.
"Look for the helpers"

You must listen to convo I had w volunteer!

Detainees were being left in cold by feds, no belongings, phone stolen.

Safe Haven was created to receive ppl being released, get them a phone, get them home, clothes.

Minnesota heros!

She can fucking pry it from our cold dead hands
Fox News: "I've gotten my hands that AG Bondi said she sent to Gov. Tim Walz. It is strongly worded. The AG calls for the governor to support the men and women of ICE, to repeal the state's sanctuary policies, and to allow the DOJ to access state voter rolls."

Ben Damberg protest volunteer: “None of us want to be doing this — I don’t, but we simply cannot stand by as other Minnesotans are being hurt — we will march, we will protest, & we will do it all peacefully above all else”

Empty parking lot at a Minneapolis Target during a statewide strike with many businesses closed today. Target has remained open.

With negative temperatures and a lot of outdoor protest today, the one product people may go in for is sold out at their stores - hand warmers.

JD Vances fucking plane has closed the runway at MSP and our plane is stuck waiting for him.
