I believe that the impeccable timing of the Minnesota state flag redesign is proof that time travel exists.

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities:

Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down

Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged

Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

Their hotels aren't being paid for properly. They aren't getting benefits or insurance for months. Paychecks are delayed. They themselves are scrutinized for loyalty.

They have started LYING on their quotas. They are reporting arrests 6-10 times to beef their numbers.

Yes, and whoever signs on to balance that ticket needs to pre-negotiate for some actual power within the administration.

Can we bring a lawsuit instead of you suffering through?

That’s a Minnesota “interesting” which translates to “fucked up” for those not from here.

Incredibly powerful.

Win Without War Launches Nationwide Campaign Supporting Minnesotans and Demanding ‘ICE Out’ | Win Without War Win Without War launches new campaign demanding ICE leave our communities and calling for support to the Minnesota groups keeping people safe amidst Trump’s occupation.

Trump’s assault on Minneapolis is a threat to us all, which is why Win Without War has launched ads around the country to help people everywhere support Minnesota groups on the frontlines with ICE.

Outside in the evening. An office building with video and the words "Palantir Powers Fascism" projected at top. Below, a crowd of people with signs and candles memorializing people who have died at the hands of ICE.

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #AbolishICE #ICEOut #Palantir #PaloAlto

ice sculpture reading prosecute ice at the minnesota state capitol on february 5 2026

This morning at the Minnesota State Capitol.

An ice sculpture that reads "PROSECUTE ICE". I'm told the organization behind the sculpture is Common Defense.

Thank you Ashley. I am planning on brushing my hair some time this week.

Black text on blue border: BREAKING NEWS! IMMIGRATION CZAR TOM HOMAN ANNOUNCES 2000 ICE AGENYS TO STAY IN MN KIDNAPPING OUR FAMILIES

Chuck we caucused tonight in Minnesota for the DFL. At mine a resolution to Abolish ICE passed by popular acclaim.

It was a beautiful action. Singing is helping us get through this together. We need you all all over the country to find your voice too.

Good framing from local news here

Caucuses suck.The only thing worse is living in a state w/o caucuses where money decides the Democratic party nomination. Caucuses allowed us to primary a bunch of Dems in the MN legislature, which in turn allowed us to pass massive progressive legislation in 2023.

lotta people chasing clout on the internet to be smug about protest tactics and you really gotta realize that minnesota's success is built on a coalition of seasoned activists and normal people who want to do something. dunking on either beyond standard japery makes me think you are neither

Apparently there was a city meeting in Hutchins, Texas, tonight. Hutchins is the location of DHS's newly announced 10,000-person concentration camp. What I've been told is that city officials were unanimously and adamantly opposed to it.

Unfortunately, I'm seeing this nowhere online.

That means ~815k Minnesotans participated in the shutdown and ~310k in the strike. That would make Minnesota’s January 23 general strike one of the largest in history.

Here’s Your Damn Playbook, Democrats Party leaders can’t seem to process that Trump’s policies are in fact staggeringly unpopular. Minneapolis is showing politicians how it’s done.

Minnesota's response is among the most beautiful examples of real-life antifascism I have ever seen. And it’s why, as deeply horrifying as these last few weeks have been, I am actually optimistic about the survival of American democracy. — TNR's Aaron Regunberg.
