It ain’t over til Minnesota has ICE’s battle flag

Someone create a photo gallery of midwesterners in pajamas and robes telling the paramilitary troops to eat shit

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."

Two protesters in inflatable T-rex costumes protest ICE on a street corner in Minneapolis. Their sign reads "END THE ICE AGE".

Keep working, keep dancing, keep your neighbors' spirits up, oh and fuck ICE!

Good start. Now let's talk about state funding during the upcoming legislative session and an eviction moratorium.

Yes, I’m buying groceries for multiple families now.

Meet Steven the Ice Guy - Southwest Voices Steven Glasford measures ice across Southwest lakes and records it online

our hennepin county delegate is the guy who measures the ice at lakes on his bike and posts it to reddit

extremely funny to do this with a 14 seat restaurant that’s been open for 75 years

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

Fascinating, DOE is working around regulation by editing Department Orders, apparently without opportunity for public comment.

Absolutely. I have never, ever, heard anyone say this in real life. It's a myth (a RACIST myth) that gets repeated by national news only. People call the neighborhood Cedar Riverside, full stop.

Judge Schlitz is not exactly a firebrand and in no way a liberal judge. This is remarkable.

In case you missed it, Congress passed funding for most federal science agencies, with most receiving shallow cuts, just slightly less than under Biden. This is a HUGE repudiation of the administration's war on publicly-funded science (and a repudiation of DOGE in particular).

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Anti-ICE protesters fill the streets of downtown Minneapolis during an "ICE Out" rally on Jan. 23.

ICE *and* emerald ash borers OUT

Can’t believe this even has to be said but peaceful protects are legal. These arrests are complete bullshit.

Help these ladies keep their neighborhood safe and warm up with a cup of tea! They could really use it today, while their neighborhood is blighted by white supremacists. The Venmo ID for Cedar Riverside Protection Alliance is CRwork26. Thanks @wedge.live for the great suggestion and Venmo info.

If you’re in the Twin Cities and want to do the most minimal thing to annoy ICE, drive the fucking speed limit. These goons get so angry when 20 is plenty.

Note: Minnesota is full of great writers who need work. Stop putting your dudes on planes and start hiring local writers. I've now connected two folks. I can find you more.

*I do not want this work I have a syllabus to finish this ain't about me.

Attorney: No proper warrant for Minneapolis man's arrest in home The arrest of Garrison Gibson came in a city increasingly on edge after an immigration agent shot and killed Renee Good last week.

Immigration attorney: The arrest "during a Minnesota immigration crackdown that the Department of Homeland Security has called its largest enforcement operation ever, was a “blatant constitutional violation,” since the agents did not have a proper warrant..." www.minnpost.com/public-safet...

Great, thanks! And congrats, really awesome to see so much support so fast.

Dang, sorry to mash repost. Fat fingers.
I live in Nokomis East. Not sure how strict you are.

Me, reading and studying history: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

Me, realizing I am living through a historical event: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

OMG I would have given my left pinkie toe to see a deep dive on environmental laws and Dr. Seuss! Did MBTA come up? There's some kinda bird affected by the Onceler's pollution, right? You could compare / contrast MBTA and ESA on habitat protections.

ICE is making the police department’s job borderline impossible. They’re actively causing a lot of chaos AND they’re frightening people into a level of non-cooperation that is unsustainable. MPD has issues but has spent years trying pretty hard to rebuild some trust; feds are torching it for fun.

National treasure is right! Let's keep Goddard Spaceflight Center funded and functional. (Including their library!)

Do you have information on how to volunteer?

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

*Everyone has stories like this*

Privacy advocates: ICE using private data to intimidate observers and activists MPR News has looked into reports that federal agents have accessed private data to track and intimidate anti-ICE activists since the immigration crackdown surged in Minnesota in December. Privacy advo...

These peaceful observers I spoke to had ICE show up at their homes in what they see as attempts at intimidation. ICE has somehow been accessing Minnesotans' private data in likely violation of state law, according to privacy advocates.
