@nhlwild.bsky.social Can you comment on the story that Wild’s GM Bill Guerin is who invited Kash Patel into the US Men’s Hockey locker room? The Wild must understand the destruction the Twin Cities has faced the last 90 days because of the federal government. Doesn’t the team stand with their fans?

Please keep making this point. We are a city under siege. ICE is everywhere. We are protesting, we are trying to live our lives and keep our neighbors safe.

I just want to go to the grocery store but have to stop and blow a whistle at the Gestapo that drive into the parking lot. Grabbing dinner? Gestapo. Going to church? Gestapo. I am not protesting, I am just trying to live my life in a city under siege by the Gestapo.

Something to keep in mind about Minnesotans protesting unarmed with guns being pointed at them is that they more or less ALL have access to a gun, but are choosing not to bring one.

Bravery isn't holding a gun. Bravery is standing up to other people holding a gun.

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

This is an *incredible* video. Share with all your vet/active duty friends and milfan guys in particular.

Please note that potato chips are an acceptable alternative to tater tots, but only when added after taken out of the oven.

We feel your heart here in south Minneapolis. And it matters that people from all over the world are standing with us.

Things are really really hard in Minneapolis. But at least the revolution has a really friggin great playlist.

Thank you. My city is under siege, and we need national (and international) support. Sharing the truth with your audience means a lot.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.

Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.

It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting β€œwe’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

Live: Man shot and killed by federal agents in south Minneapolis this morning, police chief says A video appears to shows federal agents wrestling a man to the ground then shooting him.

The Star Tribune reports that federal agents "attempted to order local police from the scene" where a man was shot and killed by feds this morning, but Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara refused and "instructed his officers to preserve the scene."

this was an execution. The agent should be immediately arrested.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city.

If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

What if we just stopped paying taxes? Where there's a will there (might) be a way.

Reminder that in solidarity with today's anti-ICE general strike in Minnesota, I am donating all proceeds from today's newsletter to People over Papers, the Midway-Hamline Diaper Bank, and Every Meal. Sign up for PN through the links in this edition πŸ‘‡ to support good causes.

I haven’t seen one yet, but I will say I yell β€œStay Salty!” an inordinate amount of times every day. (For those less familiar, salt melts ice in winter).

We’re all screaming (with our claws out) in Minneapolis. You probably wouldn’t like the noise, or the temperature, but you’d love the commitment.

This exchange brings me so much joy (and joy is hard to come by in south Minneapolis right now, so thank you!)
