Two cities under siege Remarkably similar scenes from Boston and Minneapolis, 260 years apart, show a federal government betraying its founding principles.

ICYMI: I looked through a published archive of Boston newspapers from the 1760s, when British troops were stationed in the city.

The accounts read remarkably similar to what's happening in Minneapolis.

Trump Administration Social Media Posts Echo White Supremacist Messaging A flurry of posts from the White House, Department of Labor and Department of Homeland Security have included images, slogans and even a song used by the white nationalist right.

#GVerse Bravo #London just joined #Minnesota!

Trafalgar Square filled with protesters demanding justice for Alex Pretti while opposing Farage.

When state violence goes unchecked, the world notices.

Solidarity doesn’t stop at borders. 🇬🇧

Yes, as the mother of a man the same age as Alex Pretti - and as a human being - this is gut wrenching, as are all the lies Noem, Bovino, and Stephen Miller told about him.

Massive union overseeing Border Patrol demands ouster of Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller A massive union that represents some of President Donald Trump's immigration agents called on two of the administration's top officials to resign following the killing of an ICU nurse in Minneapolis o...

Totally understand the Puka hate but I'll never understand the Stafford hate. He's a wizard, one of the best to ever play the position, and he's on our side! Born in Texas and played football at Georgia and somehow still didn't get MAGAed

@GuntherEagleman on Twitter says, "BREAKING: The "No-Go-Zone" in Minneapolis is getting fully stocked like a pop-up leftist supply depot, free hand warmers, winter gear, coffee, food, milk, you name it. This is PROFESSIONAL-grade logistics. Someone is BANKROLLING this autonomous zone.

Did you miss out on your last opportunity to bankroll the fully stocked pop-up leftist supply depot?? Do you want to send free hand warmers, winter gear, first aid supplies, YOU NAME IT, to the Twin Cities?

This is your moment. Let's ride.

Registered nurses Licensed Practical Nurses Nurse Practicioners Nurse Anesthesists Nurse Educators All Nurses and Healthcare Workers STRIKE DATE JANUARY 30TH 2026 Across Hospitals, Clinics, and Healthcare Facilities

Nurses are pissed.

This is on the front page of the nursing subreddit, along with many discussions about it on several other posts.

Family Statement: "We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you." OCBS NEWS

This poor family

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

BILL CLINTON: "Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come. This is one of them. If we give our freedoms away after 250 years, we might never get them back."

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Thank you, Jesse Welles for speaking truth to power. When it's done through music, it has a lasting power and magic.

Here's what stands out about #Minnesota and their resistance to #ICE, busy killing innocent protestors: years ago, fascists could lie when newspapers and radio were dominant. Now, they keep trying to lie--but cell phone videos expose the truth.

Man…I’m just really freakin happy for Sam Darnold. We were in Arizona for his loss to the Rams last year—to go from that to this, and from castoff to the Super Bowl.

What an incredible journey. What a game. What a moment for him.

Statistic: 2/3rds of murders in Minneapolis so far in 2026 have been committed by DHS agents

🔥MINNESOTA MAN to @stoneskynews.bsky.social : “The mood is anger. We’re angry with our federal government for invading us for no good reason other than Trump wasn’t backed here— it’s a violent, brutal fascist administration. Trump’s a terrible bully. We’re defending this place against him.”

Souhan: What good are sports in times like these? Local owners should be making a statement. Better yet, they should be taking action.

"Shut it all down until it’s safe for every Minnesotan to drive to a sports venue without being rammed, beaten, abducted or killed."

Damn, Jim Souhan.

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

"It was not Hitler or Himmler who abducted me, beat me and shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milkman, the neighbor, who received a uniform and then believed they were the master race."
-Auschwitz survivor Karl Stojka

On tiktok multiple accounts that are on subjects from knitting to dog care are posting that “everything is political because if ICE comes for me you’ll see no more of (these posts doing what they do in them)”

When we talk about people murdered by ICE, we shouldn't forget Keith Porter, a black man who was shot by ICE on new years eve
