A legal observer in Cold Spring urged us to share that on 2/5, an ICE agent threatened to kill them. The agent purposely stood in front of their car and used the bogus fear of being hit to justify the threat. As the news cycle turns its eye away from MN, we will not forget.

Noem is lying in this hearing. Klobuchar just asked why federal agents blocked local police from the scene where Alex Pretti was shot.

Noem: Federal officers "risked their lives on that scene ... keeping violent rioters away from evidence."

BS. I was there. There were no violent rioters.

Kids detained on the way to high school. Families who have not been outside since Christmas. Mexican markets where ICE takes down the plate of every car. Guns drawn repeatedly. Observers threatened with death. This is daily terror in Everytown, USA. ICE comes to Shakopee. Tomorrow @rollingstone.com

Separated Bike Lanes Means Safer Streets, Study Says — Streetsblog USA Cities that build protected lanes for cyclists end up with safer roads for people on bikes and people in cars and on foot, a new study of 12 large metropolises revealed Wednesday.

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

video from iceout.org earlier today at the whipple outside minneapolis shows a hennepin county sheriff’s deputy shoving the head of a protestor who was already tackled into the ground

we need someone to challenge dawanna witt for sheriff. this brutality happening under her watch is unacceptable

Helsinki just went a full year without a single traffic death The capital city is Finnish’ed with car-related fatalities.

“Helsinki hasn’t registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past year…Citing data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a car’s speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinki’s residential areas and city center in 2021.”

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

There are no guard rails for the US government, just a madman reaping destruction.
Congratulations to the citizens who voted for cheaper eggs.

y'know, I'm starting to think that maybe these high-end hockey players are Dumb Guys

People just realizing that the asshats who play for the USA men’s hockey team are the same people who would look the other way while ICE kidnapped their neighbor is truly amazing.

The fact that construction of new "luxury" apartments frees up less expensive rentals elsewhere—a good thing for everyone—is both obvious as a matter of logic and well-established as a matter of observable reality. Yet left-NIMBYs continue to deny it for reasons I don't think I will ever understand.

Minnesota school districts say federal agents still causing daily disruptions School leaders say that ICE activity is continuing to interrupt daily life for students, staff and families despite the announced end of the two-month surge of federal immigration agents.

ICE activity continues to interrupt daily life for students, staff and families, despite the announced end of the two-month surge of federal immigration agents. Students attend school remotely, staff monitor arrival and dismissal, and leaders wonder when they can resume normal school operations.

minneapolis city council member jason chavez saw hennepin county sheriff’s office doing crowd control enabling ICE to kidnap latino neighbors. “if we don’t like when ICE pepper sprays or throws gas bombs, why should we support local law enforcement doing those same tactics?”

Born in the USA due to happenstance, let’s go Canada!

When I was a teenager being dragged to Catholic mass by my parents, I realized it was a cult and gave up religion for lent, never looked back.

Me at Costco making sure I’m buying Canadian products and I live in the USA. Oats, oat milk and of course maple syrup.

I think it's important for the "all government people are corrupt crowd" to really hear this. No. No, they're not.

This is why I'm excited to see some of the laid-off federal employees start to run for office. Americans need to hear from those who've actually done the work of governing.

And lastly marching in the streets with the citizens that understand this must be resisted.

ABOLISH ICE

I will not ever forget the neighbors standing watch outside schools and places of worship armed only with a high vis vest and whistle.

Havenwatch at the Whipple Building 24hrs a day to aid those falsely imprisoned return home after their kidnapping by a regime of evil.

I will never forget standing outside the Whipple Building watching US citizens released into the freezing night with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

I’m heading home after a visit to where I became who I am, the Twin Cities.
I will not respect this country until the people responsible for the terror of the citizens of Minneapolis and St Paul are convicted of their crimes.

After explaining how teen driving is dangerous and expensive, the solution presented is not for the parents to advocate for making car-free transportation alternatives more available but to push the young people to drive by making them overcome their fears.

The cost of car infrastructure and car ownership is the primary force behind the affordability crisis.

I will die on this hill. I am not persuadable.

Great turn out at the MIRAC rally & march today at Jackson Square Park. It was heart warming seeing our immigrant neighbors open their windows and cheer as we went through the neighborhood.

Glad this is getting covered, but also… Completely surreal to read the NYT report on this as recently disclosed info, and just an allegation. This happened to every observer I know! It happened to me twice! I have it on video both times! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/u...

This is a hell of a headline:
