Altered screenshot of Star Tribune headline: Twin Cities Live: Border official Tom Homan announces thousands of agents will remain here to terrorize Minnesota

Fixed the headline for you @startribune.com

World's least surprising stat, now with alt text:

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

If what ends up happening is MN officials agree to aggressive 287(g) or other cooperation agreements to stop the occupation, that is a terrible Faustian bargain that is closer to total loss than any kind of victory. It sets the precedent that the feds can force your city to play ball at gunpoint

fuck. i can't believe i missed this

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.

people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

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

After the Boston Massacre, the soldiers responsible were arrested and received fair trials. King George recalled the regiment to England, and then American leaders were like “good, that was enough, we’ll remain your loyal subjects forever…” wait, that’s not right…

Wow. Per @priscialva, DHS has suspended Gregory Bovino’s access to his social media accounts effective immediately. He spent yesterday responding to people who were criticizing him and raising questions about his unverified claims about Pretti.

the words “fuck ice” made by someone’s footprints in the snow on the frozen mississippi river, seen through the vertical bars of a bridge handrail

hard to get a picture of it from the moving bus, but this is on the mississippi seen from the lake/marshall bridge

multiple things can be independently bad at the same time!!!

for real. at this point the people who are calling it a “distraction from the Epstein files” are themselves just acting as a distraction from the fascist crackdown

should they still release the files? absolutely. but it’s absurd to suggest mpls is happening JUST bc of the files and nothing else

New rule: no Minnesotan buys their own drinks until we’re on the other side of this.

WE HAVE MOUNTAINS OF ICE TO MELT

as of right now, 2/3 of the homicides in minneapolis for 2026 have been carried out by @homelandgov.bsky.social

One of the best organizers I know in the Twin Cities has a great line, "We can't always take away the hurt, but we can take away the alone."

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.

once again i am asking literally anyone in a position of power to do literally anything so that our neighbors stop getting fucking murdered in the street

Get. Off. TikTok.

If you think ICE is heading to your town, start organizing now. We had a lot of the infrastructure but still have taught so many people things they’ve never had to learn before, about community, mutual aid, etc. I just connected two people yesterday! It’s growing. You could have a head start.

genuinely stunning image

the vibe-economics of biking to work are so unexpected, like bicycling seems like a dramatically more leisurely way to travel but then it isn’t actually much slower than traffic on the 101 and also the quality of time itself is SO much improved that the whole day is better and more useful?

paradoxically, the minute you accept a job as a pundit, you become unqualified for it. this is because punditry belongs in dive bars and union meetings and the like. the only good pundit is some mouthy fuck with nothing to lose
