‘Time to speak up’: In Columbia Heights, school leaders stepped in to protect families as ICE surged As federal immigration agents descended on Columbia Heights families, the school superintendent expected to stay silent. Then federal agents came for 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, and s...

Seven children from this MN school district have been detained by ICE. 2 of them are still in ICE custody in TX. The district has lost track of how many parents have been taken. At just one elementary 26 parents have been detained by ICE

Sad to hear ICE is widening its reach across the state, but it's encouraging that people from a place like Lakeville banded together in ways like this story:

Just like all of Trump's other sycophants, Homan never speaks from a position of weakness. But let this be clear: the occupation of Minnesota was an unmitigated disaster. Not only for the immense harm committed against us. But also because it will destroy Republican majorities across the nation.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones.

Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Trump & his Republican majorities cut healthcare funding to 3x the ICE budget. So MN may no longer be able to afford healthcare, but we have seen a sharp increase in the number of masked Texans running wild in our neighborhoods with a license to kill.

currently getting replied 4-to-1 by the mascot for these types of QTs, getting called a murderous colonizer because I said Michael Jordan was popular worldwide lol

they called me a colonizer because I said Michael Jordan was really popular in the 90s

The resale value on that custom license plate is going to be crazy

I started off joking about this but now I’m seeing you’re too young or was too deep into anime or something. You don’t really know pop culture history. Jordan was one of the most very popular people in the world in the 90s. Next you’ll tell me the Beatles weren’t shit.

Michael Jordan was not replaceable anywhere else lol I know you were conscious during the 90s so this is surprising

Ok here’s another one: The Simpsons. They were so cool. We used to have extremely cool cultural things coming from this country. That’s what the OP is saying.

ok boomer

this post has a ton of quote tweets claiming american pop culture was actually never influential. bluesky moment.

Yeah but do you remember the 90s Bulls or Michael Jackson?

I feel relatively confident that Black Hart will weather the economic terrorism happening in MN. But when you do this work, almost every second of the day is anxiety about paying bills. I drive through my city and see businesses & people that are days from losing everything. It suck so hard.

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

Duncan Robinson is too old for this shit. 😂

Didn't most of them vote for Trump in 2024, in large part because he absorbed RFK?

Asking any ICE agents I see today if they enjoyed the Kid Rock halftime show.

This is torture. The US is torturing children. Children whose words and whose art contain infinitely more humanity than the people keeping them detained.

Concentration camps

Skimmed through the Kid Rock part of the TPUSA "halftime show" and it's him egregiously lip-syncing in front of a Turf Club-sized audience

Better or worse than the amount of crypto/AI commercials

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

I’ll never get over the absurdity of “ran over”

The Washington Post just laid off its entire award-winning photo team. They were our eyes in places we'll never see. It's a horrifying loss at a time when lying governments, propaganda and AI slop are on the rise.

Is there a downtown MPLS protest today?

He's back 🥲🥲🥲 uncle Mike

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.

“Smile… Have some fun” the question was about the EPSTEIN FILES

I think this is the kind of thing that cuts Trump to his core.
