We don’t need a celebration we need to abolish ICE and get justice for those murdered and for those whose rights have been violated and return our neighbors. Reminder the Roman Colosseum was a propaganda machine that enforced hierarchy and was a distraction from living standards. Stay focused MPLS.

Meet Minnesota Bathrobe Lady Sam Stroozas of MPR News | Minnesota Public Radio Earlier this week, an unexpected and fast-moving incident unfolded in St. Paul, Minnesota involving both federal and local law enforcement. As crowds gathered and questions mounted, one of our MPR New...

The numbers do speak for themselves. In fact, our neighbors know this because they feel it on the ground. They expect us to do more.

How about you stop telling us behind closed doors that we shouldn’t fund immigrant legal assistance, rental assistance, or support for our small businesses!

The sheriff also defended the security roles her deputies served at the Hennepin County courthouse and Whipple. "If we go back to the unrest in 2020, you know that was one of the most popular questions that people were asking for as the city was burning: Where were the police?" Witt said. "People will not be asking, 'Where's the sheriff's office?' We're where we're supposed to be when needed, and we're going to respond accordingly.

Hennepin Sheriff Dawanna Witt invokes the George Floyd uprising to defend her department roughing up protesters and defending ICE activities at Whipple. Maybe if the sheriff wasn’t there, the Army would be but DO NOT say your activities are by popular demand. www.startribune.com/hennepin-cou...

“You ever stop to think how much more smoothly Minneapolis politics would function if Jacob Frey could be just like 15% less of a dick?”

Indeed!

“Not Ready for Prime Time.” A Federal Tool to Check Voter Citizenship Keeps Making Mistakes. The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.

NEW: A federal tool meant to find noncitizens on voter rolls is consistently marking citizens as noncitizens, especially if they were born outside the U.S., causing chaos as election clerks try not to disenfranchise voters, @zachdespart.bsky.social and I found. 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/save...

In Bemidji, lifelong conservative county attorney surprises with social media posts about ICE Beltrami County Attorney David Hanson is one of many Minnesotans who have taken to social media to express their views on the immigration crackdown.

Today we lift up Beltrami County Attorney David Hanson. Because we're starved for any elected MN Republicans who opposed the lawless rampage through the Twin Cities by masked secret police.

Ask him how many matches he attended or how much he contributed to mutual aid?

Cannot believe how far the bar has been lowered but this somehow feels legitimately useful to hear out loud. Because what virtually every single Minnesotan is doing is simply recording, saying words, and possibly using a whistle.

That is virtually ALL anyone is doing as the feds claim "escalation".

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

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Ironic, since Frey shouted “fuck” and got a bunch of national media interviews, but has done fuck-all since.

The dam is about to break on a wave of evictions in Minnesota. HOME Line provides free and confidential legal advice to any tenant in MN on landlord-tenant issues, including eviction. Services available in English, Spanish, Somali, and Hmong.

It's vital work. You can support them at the link below

Beware of phishing scams. Protect your personal information. Know how to spot and avoid scams when making financial contributions.

There have been reports of phishing attempts using the current situation in Minneapolis to gather personal or financial information. Residents and community members should remain vigilant against scams and phishing attempts to ensure that donations go to a legitimate source.

"Using local government courthouses for federal civil immigration enforcement interferes with the administration of justice, prevents witnesses from testifying and robs victims of their opportunity to seek justice."

ICE agents knocked on Wilmer Andrade’s door claiming a warrant for his arrest. He has a work permit, a pending visa application and no final order of removal. In Operation Metro Surge, people like him are targets.

He doesn't know if the Census Bureau is part of the department he runs?! Or he doesn't know the Census Bureau establishes the poverty line?

Either way, that's the kind of staggering admission of utter cluelessness that should get this ass-kissing toady shown the door

I'm pretty middle of the road.

Customs and Border patrol helicopter circling my neighborhood and their agents circling my child’s school.

So no draw down then. I see.

Abolish DHS.

Watching the watchers: ICE uses facial recognition to track citizen observers in Minnesota, federal court filing says Federal immigration enforcement agents are using facial recognition technology to track and record U.S. citizen observers, according to a federal court declaration in Minnesota.

Trump admin is building a list of people to retaliate against for engaging in legal, 1st amendment protected activity.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

First, nothing has changed in South Minneapolis. I can say that because I live here, do RR, and document it every day. I can’t say what is happening in other areas. But if I wanted to know specifics, the first thing I would do is gather evidence, stories, data to find out. You know, “journalism.”
