Courts have ruled 4,400 times that ICE jailed people illegally. It hasn’t stopped. The decisions amount to a huge legal rebuke, one the administration has ignored.

4000 judgments but DHS ignores them. Send this article to your senators and members of Congress. Defund ICE— www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Marine Detained in Minneapolis Says Feds Copied His Phone Without a Warrant He was observing after Alex Pretti's killing. Feds detained him at gunpoint, sampled his DNA, scanned his face, and cloned his phone.

If this is how ICE treats a US Marine, you and I are toast. Abolish ICE— theintercept.com/2026/02/12/m...

What’s happened in the Twin Cities has been happening in Palestine every day for over 59 years. Israeli thugs come into neighborhoods or farms and assault, abduct and kill people.

because AI has made drawing pointless!

Amy Klobuchar’s Record on Trump Is Shameful - Racket As Minnesota's senior senator runs to replace Tim Walz as governor, her votes and positions on Trump, ICE, and labor should be disqualifying to progressive voters.

Primary is only 5.5 months away and no one is running (a serious campaign) against Amy Klobuchar. What an epic fail for the DFL party— racketmn.com/amy-klobucha...

AI could probably make you a decent one 🤣

I used to regularly read and comment on state transpo plans and transpo spending bills until I realized no one gave a microscopic crap what I said. So now I just repeat the mantra (in previous comment).

I already know what I’d say without reading it: That they’re spending way too much money on building new highway lanes and peripherals; That the state needs a “paving moratorium” and to funnel all money beyond basic road maintenance into transit, bike-ped, brownfield remediation & improved land use.

ICE Begins Buying ‘Mega’ Warehouse Detention Centers Across US Plans for such centers and jails in nearly two dozen communities have sparked protests over suitability, proximity to homes and schools.

Photos from the huge Alex Pretti Memorial bike ride this past Saturday. Thousands of cyclists showed up. These two photos are at the same spot— one looking north and one looking south when the ride paused for a few minutes on Portland Avenue.

Noem is a lying sack of crap

ICE just murdered another person— shot him 8 times while he was on the ground being punched and kicked by 5 ICE agents. DHS already lying about it. Watch video of killing— www.facebook.com/share/r/1DV9...

And now ICE and Trump lie about it.

I hope someone runs against her in the primary and wins.

I pray to God (and I’m agnostic) that someone better runs against her in the Democratic primary for governor. As another commenter said, she really is Minnesota’s version of Chuck Shumer but even worse.

Pro-Israel group Betar to end New York operations after inquiry finds ‘violent conduct’ State attorney general found far-right group harassed ‘Muslim, Arab, Palestinian, and Jewish New Yorkers’

Yeah, every city is one good mayor away from excellent bikeways.

I was thinking how the $250 million stolen (though over $100 million will be recovered) by “Feeding Our Future” is less than half of what MnDOT spent to widen two miles of I35E from downtown to Little Canada— a much more environmentally destructive project than simple “fraud”. Ditto for parts of 36.

This incremental growth is the story of most highways in the US. The article lacks skepticism/critique (of the road’s contribution to climate impacts, sprawl, budget deficits, dividing neighborhoods, etc). They only made good bike/ped crossings at Fairview in the last 10 years.

What happens when the city or the state doesn’t shovel its own sidewalk? Nothing. The city has issued over 3,000 tickets to private property owners since Saturday. But it does not issue violations when the government itself fails to shovel.

Twice in my life. Both got shoveled. I thought of you today because this Gothamist article reminded me of various spots in Saint Paul where some city agency is responsible for maintaining sidewalls and fails (often schools)— gothamist.com/news/what-ha...
