Received word that Dad is now in Texas. Folks got a call back from Senator Tina Smiths office and have lawyers info.

Listen folks, Pam Bondi was Attorney General of Florida from 2011 to 2019 so she's been covering up Epstein's crimes for a loooooong-ass time

ICYMI: Jasmine Crockett absolutely roasts Pam Demon Bondi.

Let her cook!

ICE “left” Chicago in November, but they’ve disappeared three people from my community in two days this week.

Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.

"Some were as young as 13, and at least half of those taken in so far became pregnant as a result of rape, sources said."

Ending this operation is not enough.

We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.

This is how you do it.

Minneapolis was economically devastated by Operation Metro Surge, writes James Beard-winning Oglala Lakota chef Sean Sherman, suffering $10-$20 million in weekly losses.

“we‘ve been working to gut the Fourteenth Amendment for generations. we are so proud”

Tom Homan is a liar.
Abolish ICE, nothing less.

again: what’s it like working in healthcare during a federal occupation?

i implore comrades of #medsky 🩺and to a certain extent #lawsky ⚖️ to pay attention to what they’re doing to us here & over prepare as much as feasible

Good morning, here’s a cute loon mural from the West Seventh neighborhood

My takeaway from this is that more proximity you have to ICE abductions AND the more proximity you have to immigrants on a daily basis, the clearer you are on how inhumane this whole thing has been.

Is those who insulate themselves from anyone different from themselves who don’t get it.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Do you know what it’s like to hand someone Legos & hope that fucking helps their kid who hasn’t been outside in the year 2026?

These people are trapped inside because-no matter their legal status-they know they could be ripped apart, their medicine could be withheld, they could die if they go out

The reality - as the government is purchasing warehouses to store humans in - is that they’ve created hundreds, maybe thousands of prisons in Minnesota already. Peaceful, hardworking families are in hiding and haven’t set foot outside in 6 weeks. What would you call that?

Let. Them. Out.

I really wish people would stop considering ICE an immigration agency. The clear goal is to be an authoritarian secret police to end dissent and democracy. They’ve literally said this. If you are mad at them because they’re enforcing immigration laws too vigorously, you’ve already missed the point.

Kidney transplant recipient in ICE custody is finally getting meds, wife and attorney say Javier Abreu-Vasquez, a kidney transplant recipient, was arrested by ICE in Rochester last week without his anti-rejection medication and he may have gone for days without receiving it. His wife and h...

The wife and attorney of a man detained in Rochester last week say he finally has access to life-saving medication following a kidney transplant.

However, they added that federal authorities are still not giving him the correct dosage or the full regimen.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

He fled torture in Uganda. ICE is trying to send him back. People like Pastor Steven Tendo “are exactly who our asylum system is meant to protect.”

“I followed the rules. I’ve done great in the community. I’ve never abused any of the conditions of the stay or of my supervision…I’m so scared, I cannot go back."

ICE brutally detained a minister in Vermont. Now, the Trump administration wants to send him back to Uganda, where he was tortured.

This piece is also worth your time.

ICE is still abducting people. ICE is still arresting peaceful observers. ICE is still gassing people. ICE is still showing up at grade schools.

Abolish all prisons including the ones we call concentration camps and those we don’t but functionally are.

If folks not in Minnesota need motivation to call your members of congress, read those last two articles I shared.

Make the calls, even to Republicans. Tell them what is happening is not okay. The federal government is committing crimes against humanity against people in Minnesota. It is not okay.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

A new study from conservative economists shows immigrants benefit our economy significantly.
