They nearly killed this woman. Then they went on national TV and tried to smear her.

Aliya Rahman "said she was driving to an appointment at the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when the incident occurred."

She asked for a doctor and was taken to a detention center where she lost consciousness.

I know it's a typo, but "Small Newsom" is an amazing name for Jacob Frey
Can’t you just applaud the great work they are doing with a small Newsom instead of throwing weird shade?

As a Minneapolis local I am begging you NOT to donate to the Star Tribune. They are a mouthpiece for police, corporations, and conservatives who repeat those voices unquestioningly.
2/ lots of people on here decry paywalls and insist they’d pay something if only there was a lower price point. Ok, donate to their news fund. Their reporting (and @mprnews.org) is undergirding much of what you read anywhere www.startribunecompany.com/donate/

Star Tribune editorial forces a VERY right-wing, pro-police narrative on our local media. They don’t need to be held up as some bastion of journalistic integrity.

Hi! We're raising mutual aid funds for vulnerable Twin Cities restaurant/service workers & their families.

🔥 From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social : “This is nuts. What the fuck is going on? I’ve never protested in my life… they tell you it’s immigrants — it’s fucking anybody. They’re just trying to scare people. I’m not paid to be here. I have to work in the morning. This is wrong.”

The stuff these ICE guys are saying to the protestors is wild. In any functioning society, a cop saying to a protestor "I'm going to find when you live and give you a visit" or "you don't want to end up like Renee do you?" would be the end of your career.

Dear neighbor,

HIGH ALERT‼️ If you are vulnerable to deportation please stay home today. I’m sorry to say this but it’s not safe to be outside. ICE is tearing families apart.

Children of immigrants please keep your family safe.

You voted for the Laken Riley Act and a resolution praising ICE, the latter of which that even leader Jeffries saw as a trap and decided not to sign on to.

You're part of the reason this happened.

This is the moment we elected Mary Moriarty for. She has no fear. It certainly appears as if a murder was committed in her district and the DA has a responsibility to file charges when crimes are committed.
I've talked to Minneapolis DA Mary Moriarty several times, including a few months ago. Former public defender with no qualms about charging abusive cops. She has also been threatened by the Trump administration, is not seeking reelection, and doesn't back down.

Shit's about to get real.

VP Delcy Rodriguez, whom Trump indicated earlier today was collaborating with the US government, is live on television right now.

Earlier reports that she's in Russia are false. She's in Caracas with the rest of the cabinet.

Rodriguez: "We will never again be a colony for any empire"

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.

🗣️. DONT CALL 911 on ICE

WE HAVE A SEPARATION ORDINANCE FOR A REASON

CALL YOUR NEIGHBORS NOT THE COPS
If you’re organizing your neighborhood for ice watch, and doing canvassing… in addition to whistles you need to stress
DONT CALL 911 on ICE!

We don’t have evidence *yet* but we strongly suspect they’re monitoring those calls.

Call your neighbors, not the cops.
In case you wanted to know what was going through the heads of some Chicago police as the feds throw tear gas and make arrests throughout the city, Jeremy Gorner and I have you covered here. What they have to say may surprise you.

When a news outlet puts a reckless, undocumented claim by the Trump regime in the main headline and puts medical experts’ pushback in the smaller type, it’s making a choice. And not a good one.
