Masked thugs on the streets.
Measles outbreaks across the nation.
Blatant government corruption.
Coverup of group of elite sex offenders.
Ruling party trying to rig elections.
Leader building grandiose monuments to himself.
Collapse of remnants of nonpartisan civil service.

Third world America.

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

A message for Minnesotans about upcoming changes & community response

‘ICE conveyor belt’ illegally detaining, moving Minnesota children to Texas faster than courts can respond ICE is pulling Minnesota immigrant families with legal status out of their driveways, homes and school commutes and send

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families.

Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota.

The cruelty is endless.

The Minnesota Star Tribune, Minnesota Public Radio, the Minnesota Reformer, Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder, Sahan Journal, Center for Broadcast Journalism and Minnesota Newspaper Association today released the following statement: “We strongly condemn the arrest of journalists Georgia Fort and Don Lemon, as well as any attempt to intimidate members of the press. The First Amendment recognizes the press as holding a distinct and protected role in our democracy. In America, we do not arrest journalists for doing their jobs. The Minnesota journalism community stands united in defense of press freedom and the essential role reporting plays in holding power to account.”

Omg you can't eat at restaurants and people at blowing whistles at you? How horrible.

Now, tell me more about these restaurants that aren't serving you so I can add them to my list of places to support ✍️

ICE kidnapped a permanent resident in Minnesota today. They let the individual go after realizing they had authorization. Don’t be fooled, ICE is still discriminating against our neighbors based on the color of their skin. 1/

From 12 years ago

I really do wish they could have their own country and leave us alone

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it:

Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

1000s of people coming into our community unwanted. using our resources, ignoring traffic laws, taking away opportunities from our residents while doing nothing to stimulate our economy, contribute to youth education, create local jobs, or benefit our vibrant culture. theyre called ice agents.

Protestors spell “SOS” out of mulch on Bde Maka Ska, in the direct line of sight for people flying into MSP.

Minneapolis is winning. The tide is shifting. Can you feel it? It’s their Gettysburg. The first Minnesota is charging down the hill, bayonets drawn. This is their furthest advance and they will go no further. WE ARE GOING TO WIN

It’s -2000 degrees below zero. You just flashbanged yourself twenty feet from the front desk. Three hours sleep cause locals who hate you bang garbage cans outside your room all night. The Home2Suits has fallen and you’re not getting that signing bonus for another 4.5 years. Ass. It’s all ass, dude.

Souhan: What good are sports in times like these? Local owners should be making a statement. Better yet, they should be taking action.

"Shut it all down until it’s safe for every Minnesotan to drive to a sports venue without being rammed, beaten, abducted or killed."

Damn, Jim Souhan.

STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT OBAMA AND MRS. OBAMA JANUARY 25, 2026 The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault. Federal law enforcement and immigration agents have a tough job. But Americans expect them to carry out their duties in a lawful, accountable way, and to work with, rather than against, state and local officials to ensure public safety. That's not what we're seeing in Minnesota. In fact, we're seeing the opposite. For weeks now, people across the country have been rightly outraged by the spectacle of masked ICE recruits and other federal agents acting with impunity and engaging in tactics that seem designed to intimidate, harass, provoke and endanger the residents of a major American city. These unprecedented tactics - which even the former top lawyer of the Department of Homeland Security in the first Trump administration has characterized as embarrassing, lawless and cruel - have now resulted in the fatal shootings of two U.S citizens.

And yet rather than trying to impose some semblance of discipline and accountability over the agents they've deployed, the President and current administration officials seem eager to escalate the situation, while offering public explanations for the shootings of Mr. Pretti and Renee Good that aren't informed by any serious investigation - and that appear to be directly contradicted by video evidence. This has to stop. I would hope that after this most recent tragedy, administration officials will reconsider their approach, and start finding ways to work constructively with Governor Walz and Mayor Frey as well as state and local police to avert more chaos and achieve legitimate law enforcement goals. In the meantime, every American should support and draw inspiration from the wave of peaceful protests in Minneapolis and other parts of the country. They are a timely reminder that ultimately it's up to each of us as citizens to speak out against injustice, protect our basic freedoms, and hold our government accountable.

Statement from President Obama and Mrs Obama

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

Join Light up the Night tonight, not a mass gathering in any one place but to get people out of their houses with candles and flashlights in every neighborhood at 7:00. Please spread the word.

In the Twin Cities, this man speaks for all of us today.

We had 50K people downtown yesterday, no ICE and zero incidents. ICE is the fucking problem.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

We’re gonna make it after all

This is the scene in downtown Minneapolis this afternoon, where thousands of people have braved -25F wind chills to protest ICE operations in Minnesota.

They are never, ever going to win in Minnesota.

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

Shocking news as Columbia Heights school officials say four students have been detained by ICE, including 5- and 10-year-olds who have already been sent to Texas. https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/ice-detains-4-columbia-heights-students-including-5-and-10-year-olds-sent-to-texas

ICE just abducted a man in his car here in Southwest Blaine, after he’d just dropped off his child at Westwood Intermediate & Middle School. Fellow North Metro folks, please be safe and alert.

What if everyone just walked out? It’s a waste of their time to listen to his bullshit. Don’t reward him with the attention
