The Mayor of Portland, OR after ICE shot tear gas into a crowd

“To those who..work for ICE: Resign..Through your use of violence and..trampling of the Constitution, you have lost all legitimacy and replaced it with shame. [G]o home, look in a mirror, and ask yourselves why you have gassed children”

Amazing work @pupamp.bsky.social @mrkristofer.bsky.social!

ICE is quietly reshaping daily life in greater MN, too.

In Willmar, more than 1,200 of 4,000 students were absent recently -- both white and BIPOC, teacher Tammy Knapper says. ICE detained a 19-year-old student for five days. Trauma takes the place of learning. Something must change. #edmnvotes

Agreed.

A poster illustrated with an aerial shot of clashes between demonstrators and uniformed mercenaries in Minneapolis, reading MINNEAPOLIS NEEDS YOU EVERYONE TO THE FRONT Minnesota is the dam holding back the flood of tyranny. The resistance is stronger than ever but we need your help. There is safety in numbers and already thousands in the streets. Minnesota is drawing a line in the sand. What are you waiting for? CRUSH ICE BEFORE THEY ARE EVERYWHERE.

STATEMENT REGARDING DETENTION OF STANDING ROCK SIOUX TRIBE MEMBER IN MINNESOTA JANUARY 24, 2026 I was notified today, January 24, 2026, that a Standing Rock Sioux Tribe member has been detained by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state of Minnesota. Tribal leadership is actively working to locate the individual, gather accurate information, and coordinate with the appropriate authorities to secure their release. At this time, details surrounding the detention remain limited. I urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information while this matter is being reviewed. Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will continue to advocate for the protection of our citizen's rights and will provide updates as appropriate.

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month.

Statement from Standing Rock:

This moment in history provides us with incontrovertible evidence that all the conservatives who claim to be extremely devoted to freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, and opposed to the encroachment of tyranny, are completely and totally full of shit.

It's all white supremacy and greed.

It’s day 54 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

We are once again a city in mourning.

We are mourning Alex. We are still mourning Renee.

And we’re mourning all the neighbors who have been abducted by ICE.

We stand shoulder to shoulder with neighbors across the state, saying ICE OUT.

I'm just waiting because you know there will be one...

This also happened yesterday at the big march and when I was part of a presser at the Renee Good site.

No surprise there 🙄

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Thank you.

For Alex Perreti and Renee Good. For our neighbors.
For our city. For this awfulness to end.

Reporter: “Do you have any moral or ethical qualms about detaining a five-year-old on his way back from preschool?”

Bovino: “I’ve got no qualms about making America a safer place when we arrest those illegal aliens.”

People can say they didn’t vote for this but people are liars

🤣🤣🤣

Sunday was our annual Atons officers banquet, where I was installed as Secretary for a second year. When we reserved our place, they said there would still be "some" decorations up 🤣

Anytime

A great post by @lthriain.bsky.social that is a good reminder in these times and in our community.

Omg🤬🤬🤬

We all have that "one piece" like that!

And......NO.

Great pics!!!

That's odd....

I just bumped into a friend who told me how much his health insurance is going up now because of the ACA subsidies being taken away. He literally broke down in tears in front of me. Trump and Republicans are monsters. All of them. They let this happen. They love money more than humans. Disgusting.
