ICE needs to have a JUDICIAL WARRANT to legally enter your house, not an "administrative" warrant.

Don't open your door without seeing a judicial warrant with a name and address and a judge's signature.

Minnesota legend Charles M. Schulz knew what made a great citizen. “Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call ‘American Virtues’ who lack this faith in our country.”

Whistles and Red Cards are available at our office.

You will need to supply the lanyards and the bravery to stand up to these thugs.
I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

This is a great organized list of how you can help folks in Minnesota who are under siege from the lawless federal forces of ICE. The list is broken up into different kinds of orgs so you can easily focus your donation where you want
For ease of navigation and sharing, I have turned my little list into a website: standwithminnesota.org

The First Amendment protects the public’s right to:

1. Film ICE in public

2. Photograph ICE in public

3. Observe what ICE does in public

ICE and DHS officials cannot lay a finger on any American who is peacefully exercising First Amendment rights.

Take pictures. Make videos. Write down details ASAP.

There will be investigations and lawsuits someday, and the more evidence the better.

Let's learn from Minnesota, so we'll know what to do if the Republican regime sends a flood of DHS/ICE here.
People who aren't in Minnesota might not know that if you drive or walk past pretty much any school, there's going to be a group of people, parents and childless, standing guard to make sure the kids are safe from feds. It's pretty remarkable. And very disturbing. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

A report from Minneapolis.

Let your friends and relations across the country know about this outrage. If all they watch is network TV news, they may not know.

If a DHS agent asks you about your neighbors, pretend you are Mike Johnson. "Sorry, I haven't seen my neighbors. I'm not sure if I have neighbors."
ICE is targeting Hmong families in St. Paul as they go door to door looking for people to kidnap. they’re asking “do you have any Asian neighbors”

Trump and Republicans raised taxes on clean energy last year, destroying our best opportunity to hold down people's energy bills as data centers gobble up electricity. Anything he says he's doing on energy costs now is a fraud.

Release the FULL files.
The Epstein files production we received from the DOJ last month was both incomplete and overly redacted. Entire pages blacked out with ZERO explanation.

A clear obstruction of justice for survivors and accountability for co-conspirators.

We won’t stop until we get the truth.

Members of Congress have a duty to conduct proper oversight, and the Trump Administration is trying to erode that responsibility.

No matter the roadblocks the Admin puts up, I’ll keep holding them accountable.

Ethnic cleansing.

If this happens in Oregon, the answer is "No, there are only Americans in this neighborhood."

Feel safer yet?

Just watch and let those "Golden Age of America" wash over you!
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Hardened criminals, I'm sure.
A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.

He was bundled into the van & taken away.

Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”

I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

I don't give a shit what group she was involved in, or what group you're involved in: NONE of us deserve to be gunned down in the street by angry out of control men who hide behind JD Vance's skirts after.
Breaking NYT:

Federal investigators assigned to the killing of Renee Good are looking into her possible connections to activist groups.

It's in line with the admin's strategy of deflecting blame toward opponents they describe as domestic terrorists — without providing evidence.
