50,000 in Sub-Zero Weather: Minneapolis is Showing Us How to Fight ICE and the Far Right - Left Voice 50,000 people in Minneapolis marched in sub-zero temperatures. They were joined by demonstrations from NYC to LA. Let’s keep this going.

🌮 fucked around. Today he found out. In sub-zero temps, reports indicate -30 degrees fahrenheit — an estimated 50,000 protesters flooded Minneapolis demanding🧊immediately leave the city. The crowd is a stark expression of widespread anger at 🌮's war on immigrants. www.leftvoice.org/50000-in-sub...

I think it's cute that anyone thinks cold weather can stop Minnesotans.

I’m starting to wonder if Carney made a loose alliance between China, India, Canada and the EU over the last couple of weeks.
Everybody slowly sell off USA bonds.

If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it?

Someday people will look back on 2026 and wonder how we let it get this bad.
At least some of us can tell our grandkids we fought for what was right.

Federal Action Reporting Form This form is for reporting incidents or effects related to or caused by federal actions in Minnesota, such as business closures, reduced healthcare access, or use of physical force.

MN Attorney General @keithellison.bsky.social has a nice little data base too! He is asking for evidence people have of ICE agents committing crimes that can be used for documentation, legal action, and future prosecution.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

ICE Agents Violently Arrest Black Corrections Officer The local sheriff was horrified by the arrest of his recruit, and said the federal government is telling a different story from what’s really happening on the ground.

Oh look: ICE illegally arrested a Black officer in Maine.

Yet police chiefs are still not arresting ICE for illegal arrests without judicial warrants.

White police chiefs are complicit with ICE breaking the law. They aren't even protecting their own.

Abolish both.

On January 23, 2026, a reporter visited the scene of the General Strike to convey the feelings of the people on the ground.

Minnesota shifting narrative from "rabble rousing protesters" vs "law enforcement" to "people of conscience" vs "evil regime." This is essential to defeating authoritarianism - exposing who, what & why they are by demonstrating who, what & why we are.
And MAGA knows it.

Welp, Davos tanked his approval rating even more.

Time to roll out the Iran strikes while the US is in the middle of a massive ice storm?

To the trans community,
I hear you, see you, and will do everything in my power to protect you.

Keep showing up every day as your full self and stand in your light. Massachusetts has your back.

Recently, my office got more than 50k back in restitution for employees at two companies guilty of wage theft.

The affordability crisis is enough of an obstacle to putting food on the table and paying bills – nobody should have to worry about their employer trying to scam them on top of it.

No one is exempt from Massachusetts’ environmental or consumer protection laws.

We just reached a nearly $150 million multistate settlement with Mercedez-Benz USA for circumventing emission standards and deceiving customers – including over $200 million in potential consumer relief.

2026 ins ⁃ knowing your rights ⁃ protecting reproductive freedom ⁃ standing with our trans community ⁃ respecting the constitution   ⁃ putting $ behind environmental justice ⁃ getting involved in state government ⁃ optimism ⁃ working to lower costs for working ppl ⁃ suing the Trump administration ⁃ Beyoncé act III album 👀

2026 Outs ⁃ putting profits over people ⁃ federal overreach ⁃ focusing on attacking human rights instead of lowering costs ⁃ corporations acting above the law ⁃ pessimism ⁃ getting scammed by your landlord ⁃ navigating student loan debt without help from my office ⁃ not listening to young activists ⁃ coming for consumer protection laws ⁃ the Patriots not being in the Super Bowl

My office is ready to keep fighting for MA in the new year - hopefully with some new Beyoncé and the Pats in the Super Bowl.

Did you know that my office has a student loan assistance unit?

Recently we achieved $91,264 in forgiveness for a public service worker and helped a librarian struggling with private loans save $50,010.

You don't have to navigate student debt alone - my office is here to help.

Massachusetts, know this:
🏳️‍⚧️Gender affirming care remains legal and protected in MA
🏳️‍⚧️ Gender affirming care saves lives
🏳️‍⚧️As your AG, I will always fight to keep the federal governments’ hands off your health care

My top priority is addressing the number one issue affecting Massachusetts: affordability.

The CFPB is a critical ally in my office’s work taking on companies exploiting working people. I won’t let this agency be gutted because the President wants to protect his billionaire buddies.

The Trump Administration attempted to unlawfully stall the review process for NIH grants, slowing research on cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

Now, we reached a settlement with HHS that will ensure review of these critical grants continue.

Life-saving care can’t wait.

Today, ACA subsidies will expire for hundreds of thousands of Massachusetts residents.

This is an unacceptable failure of federal leadership. You deserve better than a government that asks you to decide between your health and your savings.

Visit mahealthconnector.org for state support.

Happy New Year, Massachusetts!

Through the ups and downs of 2025, community, faith, and hope kept us together.

To another year of fighting the good fight 🥂

It's that time of year again - as the thermostat goes up, so do your utility bills.

These resources could help you lower your bills and budget accordingly while my office continues to advocate for you.

A veteran contacted my office after being incorrectly denied Total and Permanent Disability.

We worked with him to get his application approved. This resulted in the discharge of his remaining $326,805 federal loan balance.

Know that my office will always advocate for you.

Since day one, the Trump Administration has remained laser focused on attacking independent agencies like the CFPB because they work for the American people – not the President.

I will keep fighting against this unlawful federal overreach and keep winning.
