A picture of the Mary Tyler Moore statue in downtown Minneapolis, depicting the iconic moment from the show where she throws her hat in the air. But the hat has been covered over with a protesters cardboard sign, reading “FUCK ICE.”

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

I’m visiting New York from Minnesota and really enjoyed this exhibit at the Met. Morrison was a lover of jazz and there is jazz from his favorite artists playing softly in the background - the only music I heard at the Met. Last Sept I heard his son Briand play a in Grand Marais on a foggy day.

A hooded garment with long sleeves, made of strips of material stitched in horizontal rows with decorative embroidery around the hem and cuffs.

Dating from around 1865, this hooded parka from the Aleutian Islands in southern Alaska is made from seal intestines, a naturally waterproof & windproof material. Both robust & decorative, these seal gut parkas would have been used daily to keep warm & dry in this harsh environment.

MPR and WCCO were present

Visited a press conference for a twin cities suburb - Richfield - at a target parking lot where Target permitted ice agents to arrest two workers. one of their city council members, Rori Coleman-Woods, made clear that ICE is not welcome in Richfield.

I was there too. Some powerful singing while waiting for the powerful speakers from Richfield. #iceout

Today, this artist, Noval Noir, was painting a stunning portrait of Renee Good at the site of where she was killed

Melissa Hortman and her husband and dog were killed by a man posing as a police officer.

Yes it’s quite a spectacular Dino and shark.

Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says amandascgorman Minneapolis, Minnesota For Renee Nicole Good Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026 by Amanda Gorman They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose. Iced wheels flinched & froze. Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns. If for us she arose, Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power, The howl where we begin, Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been. Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour & bitter anger of our neighbors Is moved by the love * better angels of our nature.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

A 35 year old letter to the editor, written by a very ballsy 15 year old, about the Rodney King verdict.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

Yes it’s a very wide street and other vehicles could easily get around her vehicle

Kristi Noem keeps saying the ICE vehicles were stuck in the snow. How bad was that driver? Yesterday it was 38 degrees with slushy snow but Portland Ave was clear. If I can navigate around town in my vehicle just fine how did they get stuck in their big SUVs and pickups? #minneapolis

Minneapolis protesters vent their outrage after an ICE officer kills a woman Minneapolis is on edge following the fatal shooting of a woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer taking part in the Trump administration’s latest immigration crackdown.

This means justice will not be done for Renee Good and is trampling Minnesota’s laws.

A washing machine repair person told me never use pods and Tide is the worst detergent for gumming up the machine. Pods are made for the hugest loads and most loads are smaller. Use a small amount of detergent.

I have started getting flu shots in the last few years. This year I’m so grateful. Many others around me got very sick with influenza and so far I’ve been healthy.

Our government is attacking public schools. It used to be just with rhetoric and bad policy and now it’s with armed thugs.

YouTube video by Reuters LIVE: Protests in Minneapolis after woman fatally shot by ICE agent

@reuters.com has a livestream of ongoing protests outside the Whipple building in Minnesota, which resemble similar protests that took place outside the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago.

Agents appear to be deploying tear gas at the moment.

Had to jump off the bus ride home to see the march for myself… “speeches might be done by 6 pm” they told me… Yeah, right… March started around 8 pm…

MPS Minneapolis PUBLIC SCHOOLS Jan 7 2026 Out of an abundance of caution, there will be no school on Thursday, Jan. 8 and Friday, Jan. 9 due to safety concerns related to today's incidents around the city. All MPS-sponsored programs, activities, athletics and Community Education classes, insluding adult education, will be canceled. The district will not move to e-learning because that is only allowable for severe weather. MPS will continue collaborating with the City of Minneapolis and other partners on emergency preparedness and response.

No Mpls school for the rest of the week.

I walked down Portland Ave twice today - there is no way the trucks and SUVs driven by ICE were stuck. It was 38 degrees and sunny in Minneapolis today and the wide one way street was not full of snow. The sidewalks and alleys were treacherous with icy slush, but not the street.

And there was no justice.

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.
