Your Friendly Neighborhood Resistance On the ground in Minneapolis, watching out for ICE at every corner, crosswalk, church, and school.

“ICE out,” shouts someone next to me over and over into his megaphone; his beanie reads ABORTION YOU BETCHA - @kerryhowley.bsky.social writes. nymag.com/intelligence... He often says into his megaphone walking to gate 3: "Your mother should have swallowed."

D.H.S. Review Does Not Say Pretti Brandished Gun, As Noem Claimed

www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...
So…DHS’s OWN INVESTIGATION shows that Nurse Pretti WAS NOT “brandishing” anything but his cellphone! DHS’s own Report indicates that Pretti was EXECUTED in the street for “resisting arrest.” 😡🤬Funny….resisting arrest didn’t used to be a Death Penalty crime.

DENVER (AP) — Donald Trump lost his bid for reelection in 2020. But for more than five years, he’s been trying to convince Americans the opposite is true by falsely saying the election was marred by widespread fraud. Now that he’s president again, Trump is pushing the federal government to back up those bogus claims.

New stories generally lead with the newest information first but starting with this vital fact check is absolutely on point for this story. Credit to @apnews.com for this essential clarity.

Jaylani Hussein Executive Director of CAIR-MN said that Target a focal point in the fight against the Trump Administration.

Jaylani Hussein, Executive Director of CAIR-MN, said Target's stock downfall is evidence that the nationwide boycott is working.

Co-founders of the Target Boycott are calling for the arrests of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good, the arrests of ICE agents who tackled, shit and killed Alex Pretti. They are calling ICE Field Agent David Eastwood to resign as pastor at Cities Church in St. Paul.

spokesman-recorder.com/2026/01/29/a... Rep. Ilhan Omar remains unfazed and says town halls will continue. Rep. Ayanna Pressley called Trump a dictator. State & local leaders call for an eviction moratorium. Protests 8 AM tomorrow at the Federal Whipple Building.

I feel like the world should be reacting to current events in a manner that makes this movie a documentary for current times.

Instead it’s somewhere between Idiocracy & The Diary of Anne Frank.

Current watch….

V For Vendetta

DOJ announces 16 arrests in MN for “allegedly assaulting federal law enforcement,” and you gotta wonder now how difficult it will be to convince a MN jury to believe federal LEO testimony.

"They're calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti terrorists when they are actually trying to protect immigrants. Alex Pretti was actually trying to protect a woman. And the President calling him a criminal—he has no shame. We need justice in this country," Rep @RoKhannal tells us⬇️

Gunmen Kill 11 After Soccer Match in Mexico The mass shooting occurred in an area fought over by drug cartels, just as the Mexican government has sought to show Washington that it is combating criminal groups.

Gunmen opened fire on a crowded soccer field in Mexico on Sunday, killing 11 people and injuring 12, in an attack that appeared to highlight the persistent violence from the nation’s cartels despite the government’s efforts.

Welcome to the American Winter In the frozen streets of Minneapolis, something profound is happening.

The Atlantic Magazine just dropped a tremendous story on the Minnesota Resistance. The author is a war correspondent & sees the echoes of leaderless community empowerment around the globe: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202... (supposed to be a gift link, might not work, it’s in Apple News, too.)

Outside a Minneapolis hotel is a lone agent, swaying, baffled, with a bloody nose he may have given himself, fumbling with the pin of a smoke grenade, demanding to see the MPD (which weren't there), and trying to hold his gun between his knees.

Can't make this shit up.

The Atlantic, for some reason

Minneapolis, MN -

Many more agents outside the hotel filing in, a few journos had weapons pointed at them. Teargas deployed at the small remaining protesters outside the hotel.

ICE & other fed agents just ambushed the noise demo in Prospect Park Minneapolis, after a long lull. They started by immediately lobbing tear gas at protesters & firing less lethals. A BOP officer who is bleeding is guarding the door as the press ask him for comment. www.youtube.com/live/IVzSWdT...

#Minneapolis #MinneapolisFireDepartment

This is OUTSTANDING! A fine successor to Chief Bryan Tyner who paved the way and made this happen. The evolution of #MFD in the last 10 years has been quite something. Congratulations to Chief Rucker!

Eleanor Holmes Norton Files to End Re-election Campaign

"Ms. Norton has also stopped fund-raising, according to her campaign filing. This month, she has raised only $7.50."

The easy part is done. Minneapolis passed a largely symbolic resolution calling on Gov. Tim Walz to pause evictions until President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown ends in Minnesota. spokesman-recorder.com/2026/01/23/i...

Others have called on Hennepin County Sheriff DeWanna Witt to direct her deputies to trespass ICE agents inside HCMC without a valid judicial warrant. They also demand the county pass a separation ordinance restricting cooperation with ICE.

One in-patient psychiatric nurse spoke about how a patient was assaulted by ICE officers before being transferr and treated in a four-bed stabilization unit. She said the agency violated HIPAA standards.

spokesman-recorder.com/2026/01/22/h... Medical workers told Hennepin County Commissioners that ICE's presence inside hospitals are unsafe and are contributing to prenatal crisis.

This plays out like another retribution campaign from the White House, selectively targeting Lemmon and trying to chill the free press. The DOJ wanted to charge 8 people in this case but only arrested three.
