This whole thread is essential reading.

Don't think for one minute that this is a hysterical statement. You can't sit through dozens of meetings over nearly a decade and not come away thinking something is terribly wrong with our transportation planning professionals and those who enable them.

Yo @keithellison.bsky.social i got some scofflaws here. You got a minute?

This is my favorite line from Judge Breyer's ruling today:

"Yet it is also a core right of the people to be able to gather in protest of their government and its policies—even when doing so is provocative, and even when doing so causes inconvenience."

In an unfortunate but completely predictable turn of events, they managed to mess up a good thing.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

Our governor and our senators need to be here on the ground. Today. Minnesotans need to know you have our backs. We need to lock arms and say no to this lawless violence.

Minnesota’s Paid Leave program launches on January 1, 2026. If you work in MN, it could give you paid time off when life happens. Image: Senator Alice Mann celebrating the passage of paid leave, with numerous other people in a crowd in the Capitol rotunda. People are holding signs that say "Minnesotans for Paid Family and Medical Leave"

Paid Leave is coming to Minnesota on January 1!

This transformative program strengthens financial security for working people and improves health outcomes for Minnesotans of all ages.

Minnesota is ready for Paid Leave! Visit paidleave.mn.gov to learn more.

I identified myself as a US citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out. Even after I complied, I was taken to a detention center and held for 3 days without charges. No phone call, no lawyer, no medical care

Where are you, Jacob? This is happening on your watch.

An A+++++ economy doesn’t have layoffs reaching the same levels as the Great Recession

I hope people understand that if Trump gets his way America will soon be part of the global axis of evil if we aren't already. You see it in the Caribbean, you see it in Ukraine, and you see it with Trump trying to buddy up to Xi. We are a malevolent force.

Remind me: Did Brett Kavanaugh include having your wedding band cut in pieces among the minor inconveniences of being arrested by ICE as a US citizen?

From an observer on the ground today in Cedar Riverside:

When the Somali grandmas and the Hard Times punks join up to resist ICE, there is community magic.

Stay strong, MSP.

I saw an ICE raid today in Cedar-Riverside. The man they took said repeatedly he was a U.S. Citizen and had ID. They put him in a car they sped off at an unsafe speed. Not that I expected much, but I called 911 and reported their behavior. The dispatcher asked "what I wanted them to do about it."

As 🧊 departed Cedar Riverside in Minneapolis, they stopped to spray protesters with tear gas. So unnecessary and rude! Volunteers were quick to offer water to help people who were directly hit. Thanks to everyone who showed up to defend our neighbors

It is both deeply ironic and profoundly funny that all these overconfident maga chud dudebros are convinced they'll be at the top of a meritocratic system, when in reality they're actually the ones who've benefited most from what they themselves characterize as non-meritocratic factors.

my dad has started carrying his tribal ID to work because ICE is around all the time and he thinks he’s going to get deported

then they were in the parking lot at his work this morning. two trucks of agents at 17th and Lake in mpls.

I can't stop thinking about the purported drug smugglers being murdered by the US military. The punishment for drug offenses isn't the death penalty. This is just bloodlust and men in suits playing with lives they don't care about. It's truly grotesque and gravely compromises this country.

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

Two things the Democrats shouldn’t be shy about saying plainly these days: the Supreme Court is illegitimate and Pete Hegseth is a psychopath.

The U.S. Supreme Court: "ICE can racially profile people it arrests."

Also, the U.S. Supreme Court: "Texas can disenfranchise voters based on race."

Can we all agree that we currently have a white supremacist Supreme Court?

why are we giving our useless ass mayor a pay raise when that money could go to making sure our houseless neighbors are safe

Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional. Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal.

You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.

It says it right in the Constitution.

I don’t normally read the comments, but these ones give me hope. I know we are all seeing a lot of hate toward our Somali friends and neighbors, but I wanted to share these.

I hope they bring a smile to your face like they did mine.

He said that with his whole self.

We need to believe the monsters when they say they are monsters.

Nailed. It.
This is the kind of man you want leading your country.

It’s Somali not Somalian piggy

Someone please leak the entirety of the Epstein Files so the world can move on from this stupidity and throw the criminals in prison to rot.
