Together we are America. Man. I need that energy for president.

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began.

Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

Not that we endorsed anyone, but I'm really heartened by all the pro-Peggy Flanagan love. @peggyflanagan.bsky.social

There's some sort of argument over legalizing weed in Ward 4 whatever precinct that is. So. I don't know why they have two precincts in one room. But they seem to be having more fun.

I'm at a caucus. That's how pissed off I am.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

#OnThisDay Feb 1, 1942: Vidkun Quisling becomes Minister President of Norway, actively supporting Nazi war efforts and the deportations of his own people to concentration camps. His name becomes a famous eponym for those who collaborate with enemy forces occupying their own country.

Federal agents at powderhorn park

This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

If there’s one thing we’re all talking about in Minnesota, it’s coffee prices. You can barely walk down the street without someone shrieking, “nearly fifteen percent!”

They ‘Had Done Everything Right.’ ICE Detained Them Anyway.

We profiled refugees who:

Arrived in the country legally.

Applied for green cards.

Were arrested by ICE and detained.

One refugee who was arrested found out they got their green card after being released.

This is an unprecedented operation.

my heart just broke all over again

The official policy of the government of the United States of America is that they will murder anyone they want, that they will tell any lie necessary to justify that murder, and that no one who resists them has any rights they are bound to respect.

He was legally observing
He was helping other legal observers
He was helping other potential victims
He was not brandishing a gun
May Alex Pretti’s memory be a blessing

Thanks. None of us were planning to destroy our city. That's not a thing. (Reminder that we didn't burn the city in 2020, that was assholes from outside & it wouldn't surprise me if some of those same people are now working for ICE.)

Petitioning our government for a redress of grievances.

Gosh. I wonder if that administrative stay against limiting state violence against legal observers to what the law is will have any consequences. Oh yeah, fuck you 8th circuit.

1) Doesn’t say he was wielding it, just that he had it.
2) Doesn’t match the video anyway.
3) DHS has lied in exactly this way after shooting someone before.

One officer responded mockingly as he walked away, telling them: "Boo hoo." Agents elsewhere shoved a yelling protester into a car. The shooting happened a day after thousands of demonstrators protesting the crackdown on immigrants crowded the city's streets in frigid weather, calling for federal law enforcement to leave.

Rapid responders still out there, tracking ICE. In spite of everything, even now. Heroes

I live SO CLOSE to what just happened. I was texting with my neighbors telling them to stay home, ICE is mad about yesterday and it's gonna be a bad day. Then we heard it.

"You said they would retaliate today but I didn't expect it to be before 10am," they texted.

I hate how right I was.

Love this list of companies to support, and the missing ones to avoid.

List of Minnesota businesses closing for Jan. 23 anti-ICE strike First announced by faith leaders and unions on Jan. 13, Minnesota businesses have begun announcing plans to join the action.

Here's a list of MN businesses closed on Friday. It's long and keeps growing.
