my teacher friend asked, if people have more to give, to help meet the goal on this rent relief fund they have set up for families unable to live home due to their status.

if we did $2k in 20 minutes we can do $24k by the end of the day, right?

please amplify!

The MPD union, at least, has made it clear which side they are on.

This is the cost of DECADES of (everyone, everywhere) refusing to deal with the rising right-wing and white-nationalist involvement in policing.

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.

And if you haven’t seen the video of Uber driver just roasting ICE and big boss man to their faces, this dude is amazing. Staring evil and weaponized clowns that just killed someone a few hours ago, and not putting up with their sh*t.

Again I apologize for belaboring this point, but I really haven't seen it mentioned by any mainstream source: if you go frame by frame, it is exceedingly clear the shooter recorded most or all of the encounter on his phone, and was likely recording at the exact moment he shot her.

This is the ICE agent who murdered a woman by shooting her multiple times in the face.

Up to 10,000 people gathered for a vigil after ICE killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026 - short video from the vigil site. Story is developing.

They deploy wanton violence to try and cow the people around them, but they're very much mistaken about how people will react to state-sanctioned paramilitary thugs lynching their neighbors. I know I can't be the only one *more* ready to risk a bullet after today.
It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

once again we see “neutral” news media doing white house stenography. publicly available evidence clearly shows that she was not trying to run anyone over. journalists are allowed to report on what they can see with their own eyes. why lead with this specious “allegation” unless you are a bootlicker

Bolvino has arrived to Minneapolis. On the scene at 33rd and Portland. Being an observer is not a crime.

ICE tear gassed a lot of people as they drove down the alley. People were stuck in alley and hit hard. Some people are still getting medical treatment.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis.

A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times."

Bovino was there.

On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

Sat in a Mexican restaurant on Lake Street. The door was locked to keep ICE out; someone was posted by the door looking outside and letting customers in. Whistles went off outside. Everyone went on high alert. People scattered.

Went to another Latino business up the road. Their door was locked too.

Legal observers at the Whipple Federal Building witnessed ICE agents swapping out license plates in the ICE staging location. Masked agents who already routinely refuse to identify themselves are now swapping license plates at whim to kidnap our neighbors and tear apart families.

Creating a thread of egregious ICE actions in the Twin Cities over the last 12 days.

For those who aren't plugged into what's going on - it can feel remote and "not so bad."

Likewise for folks far away. So this collection of stories and links aims to share a small part of the story.

This is a level of blood libeling of immigrants (and their citizen children, being lumped in as 'illegals') comparable to the demonization of Tutsis in the time immediately preceding the Rwandan Genocide, or the libels against Jews in the buildup to the Holocaust.

Their intentions are clear.
So, traffic is...an immigrant problem?!

In a year in which the VP argued that "America is not just an idea," it's worth returning to the Gettysburg Address, delivered on this day 162 years ago.

"We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom."
