our city councilors are out putting their bodies on the line and actively preventing abductions and our mayor is getting his hair done for cnn interviews and saying “gee willikers everyone let’s try not to make these guys mad”

Those of you who still insist on drawing a distinction between ICE and police should be aware that the police are not drawing that distinction.
Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes.

You support murder.

Jen Psaki: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said he wants ICE to leave. Do you want ICE to leave Minnesota?

Amy Klobuchar: ICE, when it does its job, would be working with our police to apprehend violent offenders.

She voted to confirm a Trump judge just yesterday.
I am joining Minnesotans across our state in a moment of silence at 10:00 AM today to honor the memory of Renee Nicole Good. My heart goes out to her family, friends, and all who knew her.

If you think Frey should back up his words with his actions and instruct his cops to actually enforce *legal and binding trespass orders* from *hospitals and schools*, I would urge you (if you are a Minneapolis resident) to call his office at 612-673-2100.

600+ people still showed up for Legal Observers training in Minneapolis tonight.

In addition to those currently on patrol. This minute.

While the vigil is happening in South Mpls.

ICE is responsible for the *only* shooting and homicide in Minneapolis so far in 2026.

Images of the unmasked ICE agent are AI-generated.

Images of the victim in her car are AI-generated.

Don’t post or share AI-generated images, even if it’s just to tell people they’re AI-generated. If you see these images, tell the person who posted them what they are and ask them to delete.

there have been bright spots here and there but the reluctance of the party overall to put ICE front and center isn’t sustainable. the cities are your base
is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

Step 1: Arrest the killer
My public safety team is working to gather information on an ICE related shooting this morning.

We will share information as we learn more. In the meantime, I ask folks to remain calm.

See, @amyklobuchar.com ? Standing up for a marginalized community under attack isn't hard. Not hard at all.
Tim Walz: "I've got an announcement to them on our LGBT community, especially our trans community: stay the hell out of Minnesota for the folks who want to hassle those people. These are our neighbors."

If Dems talked like this regularly, we wouldn't have to focus on "how to win close elections in difficult environments." We would have a lot fewer close elections, and a lot fewer difficult environments.
Walz is out of Fs: "Not a single Republican supported this, so every Minnesotan from here on, whoever uses this program, there is no bit of thanks that would go to the R legislators who did all they could to stop this ... our schools have money to pay their teachers? I'll take credit for that too."

We built bus lanes so buses wouldn’t get stuck in traffic.
Then we let traffic park in them.

THREAD. Every year, I tell the story of Ezell Gilbert. It's the story of one of the most remarkable cases in U.S. history, and you’ve probably never heard of it. The story of what the U.S. government did to him is vital for understanding the current moment we are in.

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”
uhhh yeah I can see why these childcare properties weren't eager to let in some rando dudes asking "where are the kids?"

So long, finally cleared curb cuts.

These corners were piled with over a foot of snow from street plowing for more than a week and finally got well cleared… just in time for another 7-10” of snow. 😔

I wish we prioritized & funded pedestrian infrastructure more.
