Jacob has never seen a tv camera he didnโ€™t want to get in front of

He builds his brand while our city figures things out despite him

The 2026 legislative session starts today โ€” the first time the Minnesota House has convened since Melissa and Mark Hortman were killed.

At noon, the legislature will hold a ceremony to honor their memory. We hope that you'll take a moment to remember them with us.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says theyโ€™ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Donโ€™t be fooled by headlines when theyโ€™ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

ICE is terrorizing people. ICE is endangering lives. And then they're blaming the victims of this terror for the harm that is caused.

Just to jump ahead of the 1,000 of think pieces that were half written before the sun rose today, that half-time show is why all you fascists bound to lose.

Watching the half time show with a bunch of Puerto Ricans makes me better understand the experience of a non New Ulmer going to Bockfest at Schells, I think

A gut punch with today's ICE Air flight at MSP - I thought we were going to make it the whole day without a flight for the first time since January 5th, but one popped up this evening.

66 detainees boarded today - the most we've seen in the last ten days.

3,137 are represented on this graph.

As ICE spreads terror across our state, Southside is showing up for each other & rejecting the politics of hatred.

An (Iโ€™m assuming unpopular) thought I have been having is the importance of centering immigrants and refugees in our stories of this moment.

When we center the stories of only observers, we get milquetoast.

Do you know who is brave? The mom who is terrified to go to work accepting help.

@governorwalz.mn.gov, Iโ€™m thrilled to read via fundraising text that youโ€™ll never stop defending Minnesotans. I agree: your constituents are meeting this moment.

We need you to defend us. Come Feb 1st, you can keep vulnerable families in their homes by enacting a statewide eviction moratorium NOW.

I already knew this but standing at one intersection for upwards of 20 hours doing ICE watch has confirmed for me two things:

1) people are bad at stop signs. Please stop all the way all the time.
2) stop texting and driving!!!!!!!!!!!

We are too casual about driving cars!!!!

Dear neighbor, It is not the time to let your guard down, nor is it the time to stop organizing.

While Bovino will be leaving Minneapolis along with some U.S. Border Patrol agents, there is still no specific plan that has been communicated to the public. 1/

Papers could be written and likely have about the party that hates women being suspicious of "mom" energy in society. Is everyone warm, are we all fed, is everyone safe? They are literally some of the least suspicious concerns in the world, but the right is terrified by them.

Just drove home from St. Louis Park and it was so beautiful to see all of the candles lit on snow banks and people gathering with their neighbors around fires.

May his memory be a blessing.

This something I want people to understand. If you donโ€™t get their names, theyโ€™re just gone. Thereโ€™s no arrest record and the snatch-and-grabs can last seconds. People simply disappear and we canโ€™t find out who they are or what happened to them.
