I am very happy for the momentary reprieve of Bovino's departure. If this proves a slow-down of the brutality, we still cannot stop:

Get the names, show their faces, prosecute every case of misconduct.

Make "abolish ICE" a Dem litmus test.

Never again. No quarter for fascist sympathizers.

Love.

I love DreamHaven but had no idea that was the owner. God bless this wonderful city and everyone who is showing up to defend it.

guess he doesn’t like Chewy Bars or hand warmers…

Everyday is such a roller coaster of tragedy and care, but at the end of the day this is what I can’t stop thinking about:

They held him down, they took his gun, and they shot him 10 times.

I won’t forget that as long as I live.

This is helpful. We need more of this. We need the city’s help in physically blockading our neighborhoods.

Please everyone be safe as possible as you show up today.

ICE has been escalating all week and they may be actively looking to kill several people today.

This is why we will win. Because they can do nothing but cause harm.

When he’s hot, he’s hot

Masked man in oversized sunglasses, face mask pulled tight under his nose.

It wasn't that long ago that all of us understood this guy to be the stock image for "man who's come to terrorize your community." Now my government tells me he's the most honorable, ethical, best trained, most experienced police in the world.

I never liked affordability as a slogan, and now you see both Republicans and national Democrats talking about lower prices and bigger paychecks while Trump makes an end run at fascist rule.

Dark.

They were ignoring it anyway, but but this permission slip will hurt and kill people

😂

Will essentially told ICE to make his day, and they drove off like the chumps they are

I know Will Stancil in passing and I find his online presence extremely annoying. But goddamnit, when he shouted "IF YOU'RE GONNA ARREST ME FOR FOLLOWING, DO IT NOW BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA STOP!" ...I felt that.

Credit where it's due. This is solid tailing by Stancil.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

I don’t spend a ton of time at the Whipple protest but I appreciate the hell out of those that do.

Standing out in 9 degrees and blowing snow to let them know we won’t look away from what they are doing and we won’t forget the ones they’ve taken away.

That’s a patriot in my book.

Here’s a link but check to make sure today wasn’t the last day: www.facebook.com/share/p/1Gzj...

Moon Palace! Seemed like they had some
room but not sure how long the drive goes
for. I’ll try to find a link

Please keep me in your thoughts as I wrestle with thoughts of how many diapers and pads I could have fit in Rita, my stolen 2006 Chevy Suburban.

Horse sled

Powderhorn crowd around sledding

Chicken sled

Rubber ducky sled

Running Nazis out of town and then whimsical cardboard sleds at Powderhorn - you just have to love Minneapolis.

Will be giving more to many other causes but gotta spread it around!

I just really hope no one disrespects federal law enforcement at the Powderhorn Art Sled Rally today 😏

I am at the Know Your Rights Town Hall and Jaylani Hussein just said the thing I keep coming back to:

“In a way, we should cherish this moment.”

Although it is terrifying, our unity and defense of one another is beautiful and will lead us, eventually, to a brighter future.

Be inspired by the irrepressible dignity of Nimco Omar, because here's the thing: The people with power and influence in Minnesota are mostly going to be useless to us. You could find no better example than local pitchman Blois Olson, who represents corporate bosses in his PR business and sends out an email newsletter to many thousands of influential people in politics and business. Here's what he wrote Thursday: "It's not the loudest voices that deserve to be heard. Instead it's the quiet voices that find reason and calm. That's what we need today. This isn't a moment for politics, it's a moment for diplomacy - and diplomacy requires a lowering of the volume, a non-public effort and a sacrifice for peace at the expense of 'being right." (Diplomacy is politics, but let's move on.) Is he writing for Capitol lobbyists and upper-middle managers at UnitedHealth and Target, or for the ghost of Neville Chamberlain? "Peace for our time," someone said on X, referring to Chamberlain's infamous comments upon returning from the 1938 Munich conference when he caved to Hitler.

I disagreed a lot with @minnesotareformer.com in the past year because I feel they haven’t been tough enough against authoritarianism, but editor JP Coolican delivers a wallop to Blois Olson‘s smug complicity that‘s a must-read. minnesotareformer.com/2026/01/16/w...

What I saw last in North was horrifying. ICE agents repeatedly advanced on and brutalized peaceful protesters, firing tear gas and flash bangs indiscriminately.

Unprovoked agents rushed a dispersing crowd more than a block from their lines, just to reignite the chaos.

This is state terrorism.

That's very kind ❤️. I don't mind a couple of haters! We can all show up in our own way. I'll see you out there.

I’m going to tell you a beautiful story in three parts.
