For many reasons, we need to make sure Hennepin County Medical Center continues to serve our community. Trauma care that is needed by MN residents, training for health care providers and special services like the poison control center are vital. Federal actions are causing huge declines in funding.

“They” ARE trying to shut down HCMC, if “they” is Republicans.

The legislature must act.

And you can, too. If you, like me, have good insurance and can choose where you receive medical care, I highly recommend HCMC. They need insurance-carrying customers in order to survive, and to support those who rely on the safety net.

Commissioner says Hennepin County Medical Center could close as expenses continue to rise Those representing Hennepin Healthcare are asking state lawmakers to address the financial situation at HCMC.

Don't let the brutalist architecture fool you. This building is full of warm, best-in-their-field medical professionals.

HCMC has been my family's medical system of choice for two decades, from birth to death and everything in between.

I’ll join you.

i am so tired of screaming from the rooftops that we have a looming, avoidable crisis of evictions brewing.

everyone knows it, but yet government and philanthropy have no solutions. unpaid volunteers of rent funds are doing the work that the people who control the purse strings refuse to do

Looks like a bunch of ICE officers who just put suits on for a minute.

last summer dan was helping @wedge.live and in in campaign finance court over the silly becka thompson campaign

now he’s getting people out of ICE detention!!! i am so proud to know dan and call him a friend

These two projects are essentially giant parking ramps with extra amenities tacked on for public sympathy.

To build all of these parking spots in a dense, transit-rich neighborhood would be a foolish waste of scarce resources.

Good lord. This is a stupid and very expensive amount of parking for the neighborhood. Disappointed in my former employer Aeon in particular for such a silly allocation of scarce resources.

Yeah. He should be more specific. The local electeds who have armed agents of the government at their disposal are almost uniformly fumbling the bag at every turn.

We used to be a real country.

A main rallying cry at Minneapolis protests is the call and response:
C: "Who keeps us safe?!"
R: "WE KEEP US SAFE!!"

That local law enforcement & government are *not* keeping residents safe is the overwhelming sentiment at these events.

The governor and both mayors are ignoring this truth.

For those who wanted more info, I'm just noting what people tell me every day. But I've noticed two kind of mantras in Minneapolis. One is "We keep us safe." The other is, "No one is coming to save us."

The level of anger normal Minnesota people have at their elected representatives is palpable. It's not about party, but the perceived failure of local/state electeds to do anything of substance to protect residents who pay their taxes and get left facing off alone against masked, armed men.

overnight, we jumped to $1175 raised 😭😭💘💘❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 just so incredible, thank you!! my heart overflows!!

having now covered 54% of this need together, we’ve got $1,000 to go to keep these folks in their home!

On February 13, 2026, Petitioner [REDACTED] filed a Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus. Dkt. 1. The same day, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause requiring Respondents to respond to the Petition no later than February 17, 2026. Dkt. 4 at ¶ 1. That order also required Respondents to file all their supporting documentation by February 17, 2026. Id. at ¶ 2. On February 18, 2026, Respondents late-filed their response to the Petition along with a declaration and single exhibit. Dkts. 5–6. Around two hours later, the Court issued an order requiring Respondents to file a declaration and exhibits references in the late-filed Response but not filed with the court, along with a declaration explaining the reason for filing late, within 24 hours. Dkt. 7. Respondents finally filed the balance of their supporting documentation by 4:06 P.M, February 18.1 Dkt. 9. Respondents never moved the Court for an extension of time to file their response or supporting documentation. Third Declaration o f[REDACTED] in Response to Text-Only Order ECF No. 7, Dkt. 10, at ¶ 9 (hereinafter “3d. [REDACTED] Decl.”). They never even contacted Counsel for Petitioner to inform him of the late filing. In the declaration, of 1 The declaration explaining the cause for late filing was not filed until 11:06 P.M. that night. Dkt. 10.

Assistant U.S. Attorney [REDACTED], Counsel for Respondents offers a host of limp excuses for filing late. First, AUSA [REDACTED] admits he was fine with violating the Court’s scheduling order, instructing his staff that it was okay to “file before midnight if possible or early Wednesday morning.” 3d. [REDACTED] Decl. at ¶ 3. His excuse for the late filing of the response itself is risible: support staff was offline and, in [REDACTED] own words, “I do not know how to file documents through CMECF.” Id. This is no excuse. The Court’s order makes no exception for staff unavailability or the failure of an attorney to know the basic functions of their profession.2 See Order to Show Cause, Dkt. 3. Further, Counsel for Respondents admits he was not prepared to file all of the documentation the Response relied upon even at that late date. As he points out, he only requested a copy of the travel document after the Court’s order to respond further. 3d. [REDACTED] Decl. at ¶ 6 (“Upon receipt of the Court’s Order, ECF No. 7, I immediately contacted ICE and requested the travel document referenced in the [REDACTED] Declaration as it had not been provided to me earlier.”). It is troubling that Counsel for Respondents knowingly referenced documents he did not have, had not seen, and seemingly had no plans to see until the Court ordered them produced. See, e.g., Response to Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, Dkt. 5 at 2, 4 (hereinafter “Response”). Besides the potential ethical issues that filing without ever seeing relied-up evidence raises,3 it evinces a total lack of respect for Petitioner’s rights and the Court’s order. Counsel for Respondents apologies to the Court and below-signed counsel for the late filing. 3d. [REDACTED] Decl. at ¶ 10. Wherefore Petitioner, who has been unconstitutionally detained for two months? 2 Counsel for Petitioner will note that he can somehow manage to file documents through CM/ECF himself without the resources and might of the Federal Government…

Feds blew a deadline in one of my habeas cases. Didn't file everything until 4pm the next day. Court ordered the AUSA to explain why he filed late. His response? It was 11:30pm and “I do not know how to file documents through CMECF.”

My response below:

A screenshot of an article from https://www.newsweek.com/ice-agent-fatally-shot-us-citizen-texas-dhs-records-11544225 reading: Federal agents shot and killed a U.S. citizen in Texas last year, but initial reports did not reveal their involvement, with the details now coming to light through internal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) records. Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, was shot by an ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officer in South Padre Island, Texas, on March 15, 2025, after what ICE described as a failure to follow law enforcement instructions during a traffic incident as agents worked with local police on immigration enforcement.

We only know what happened to Renee Good and Alex Pretti because rapid response organizers were there to record it.

We don't know how many people they have murdered, but information about more killings keeps coming to light.

And who knows what happens in the camps.

The cover up continues.

Disgusting conduct. Politicizing military service can only have disastrous effects on our democracy and our service members themselves.

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.

The people who want ICE out of Minnesota but don’t want to dismantle the agency. Those are the people whose position inevitably leads to more ICE occupations in other cities.

The problem with just advocating for ICE to leave Minnesota but not to dismantle it entirely is that they are capable of doing this again, any time, anywhere.

Don’t advocate for the harm to continue elsewhere. Advocate for the harm to end everywhere forever.

Give $75 to Jess Lewis—A People-Powered Campaign

Jess is running for the MN House and she’s doing it the right way. She is not taking corporate PAC money or special-interest $. Instead, she’s relying on everyday Minnesotans to fuel a campaign grounded in science, public service, and community care.

This is really important to me. So many Minnesotans have been activated by this experience. We've been a very politically engaged place, but I think we're about to see actual civic activity go off the charts. We (the local politics sickos) need to bring people in with grace.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

“Are you effing kidding me? They’re going on car chases, going 80 down residential streets, to do what? How do they know that’s even the person that they’re looking for?” - St. Paul Council Vice President Hwa Jeong Kim

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.
