Minnesota Rose

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans

Patreon post header image for 'Shouldn't Need to Be a Lawyer' by Matthew Cortland, dated 02/13/2026. The title reads 'HHS DOGE Released Medicaid Billing Data That Can Be Used to Target Abortion and Gender-Affirming Care Providers by Name.' The right side shows an embedded screenshot of a post from the @DOGE_HHS account on X reading: 'Today the HHS DOGE team open sourced the largest Medicaid dataset in department history. This dataset contains aggregated, provider-level claims data for a specific billing code over time. For example, using this dataset, it would have been possible to easily detect the large-scale autism diagnosis fraud seen in Minnesota. Download the data yourself:' with a link card to opendata.hhs.gov. The bottom left shows a line graph from the dataset. The footer reads 'Shouldn't Need to Be a Lawyer' with the Patreon logo and patreon.com/mattbc.

🚨 The Trump regime released an HHS Medicaid dataset that can be used to build a ranked hit list of abortion and gender-affirming care providers, organized by patient volume, with names and addresses. They called it open source transparency.

A screenshot of an article header from The Atlantic, dated February 12, 2026. The headline reads, "The Tide Goes Out on Youth Gender Medicine," with the sub-headline, "American doctors are no longer united on the wisdom of medicalizing gender dysphoria in minors." The article is by Helen Lewis. Below the text is an illustration by Matteo Giuseppe Pani featuring a row of four stylized profile silhouettes of a face, transitioning from a dark, solid purple on the left to a faded, grainy white on the right.

Helen Lewis is back in The Atlantic with "Youth Gender Medicine Is Indeed Up for Debate". It is a masterclass in manufacturing consent, framing the capitulation of medical bodies to political terror as a calm "return to reason."

I'm just going to say a thing.

What a person looks like is not reflective of their soul. Insulting the appearance of bad people who do bad things as an outcome or indication of their rotten hearts perpetuates the notion that conventional beauty = virtue, a myth that's led to untold human damage.

something from minnesota that i would like people to learn, that i don’t think is hitting people yet:

helping MN is good. people need it. but people in your community need mutual aid too. care. resources. food. outside of times of crisis.

and you can help.

Bruh that’s why we just have secret in-person meetings at Antifa HQ* instead.

(*Lutheran church basements)

There are 70,000 people in DHS concentration camps. 3000 are children. Close the camps. Being our neighbors home.

lmao

Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel.

One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

Letter From Minnesota: How We Get Through the Darkest Nights I am white and I was born in Minnesota, and because of that, there is a lot I don’t know, a lot I can’t ever truly understand. But I am here, and I am terrified and furious. We all are. The P…

Another beautiful Letter from Minneapolis, this time from Molly Beth Griffin.

A Reuters photographer captured this image of a page from Pam Bondi's "burn book," which she used to counter any questions from Democratic lawmakers during an unhinged hearing today.

It looks like the DOJ monitored members of Congress’s searches of the unredacted Epstein files.

Just wow.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Figure 1 from the paper shows the Association between Percentile Wealth Bins (x-Axis) and: (a) Contribution Rate, (b) per Capita Contribution Amount. Figure 1 presents two plots. Panel (a) displays the percentage of donors in each wealth rank that contributed to each of the six campaigns (i.e., Democratic and Republican nominees in 2012, 2016, and 2020).Footnote 17 Panel (b) displays the per capita dollars from each wealth bin, by campaign (including those who donate nothing). As Figure 1 shows, the association between wealth and contributions is approximately exponential. The wealthiest are much more likely to contribute, and the wealth gradient is even steeper in dollars because the top 0.1% contribute very large sums. This is one of the most robust findings in the campaign finance literature, but the figure demonstrates it with considerably more precision. By measuring wealth independently of contribution size, we avoid misattributing smaller contributions to non-wealthy donors and underestimating wealthy dollars. Most relevant to our analysis, Figure 1 compares the wealth gradients for Trump versus other candidates. In 2016, compared to other candidates, Trump’s wealth gradient is far flatter, because Trump elicited far fewer wealthy contributors and per capita dollars. For example, among the top 0.1%, Trump’s donors and per capita dollars represent about one third of Romney’s. While Trump did worse than all other candidates among nearly all wealth groups, that deficit was larger among the wealthy. In short, in 2016, wealthy donations to Trump are low compared to other presidential candidates. In 2020, Trump’s performance among the wealthy improved considerably over 2016 (Figure 1). Consider donation rates (Panel a). Among the wealthiest 0.1%, for example, Trump roughly doubled his rate, though he still significantly lagged Biden and Romney. He did even better in per capita dollars (Panel b) than in rates. Open access link to paper: http://cup.org/4cfm0Az

The wealthy dominate political donations. My co-authored research found the top 0.1% contribute at rates 10-15x higher than bottom 90%. They’re not just more likely to donate, they give exponentially more per capita. The wealth gradient in politics is real. cup.org/4cfm0Az

Plaintiffs Are Likely to Succeed on Their Due Process Claim The crux of Plaintiffs' due process claim is their allegation that Defendants "carried out a sham process solely to effectuate a predetermined result," thereby "imposing uniquely brutal conditions ... without any meaningful process." ECF No. 4-1 at 28, 31. Whether they are likely to succeed on this procedural claim under the Due Process Clause is assessed in two steps. "[T]he first asks whether there exists a liberty or property interest which has been interfered with by the State; the second examines whether the procedures attendant upon that deprivation were constitutionally sufficient." Ky. Dep't of Corr. v. Thompson, 490 U.S. 454, 460 (1989) (citations omitted).

Here, Plaintiffs have shown that it is likely that their redesignations were predetermined-and thus violated their due process rights-because officials with authority over BOP made it clear that they had to be sent to ADX Florence to punish them, no matter what result the ordinary BOP process might have yielded. The Court does not reach this conclusion without careful considera-tion. But Plaintiffs have proffered an unusual array of evidence in support of their claim. That evidence, described below, shows it is likely that (1) officials with authority over BOP sought to punish Plaintiffs because then-President Biden had commuted their death sentences; and (2) those officials intervened in the BOP redesignation process that was already underway, dictating out- comes with which BOP officials subordinate to them were not genuinely free to disagree-and which resulted in a dramatic, uniform about-face in how the redesignations were handled.

From all this largely consistent and unrebutted evidence, it is not hard to conclude that it is likely that "following the Executive Order, the BOP committee was told to look at what the President and the AG were saying," that "[t]he BOP committee members took that to mean that everyone needed to be referred to ADX [Florence]," and that in the end, BOP officials understood that Plaintiffs had to be transferred there. ECF No. 4-32 91 12-13. It strains credulity to believe that subordinate BOP officials carrying out this process felt free to disagree with what had been demanded at the start by officials far senior to them, with authority over their careers and livelihoods. Thus, it is likely that there was no genuine opportunity for Plaintiffs— at their hearings, during their appeals, or at any other time-to oppose their transfers to ADX Florence.

This is a damning, astounding opinion from Kelly, writing about the Justice Department's treatment of federal prisoners under their control:

Why Trump’s Attack on Refugees Could Hurt Grandma It’s immigrants from ‘shithole’ countries who care for our elderly, and nobody’s lining up to take their place.

"It is difficult what care for seniors and people with disabilities would even look like without a large immigrant component." This administration wants to force us to imagine, with disastrous consequences for all involved.

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.

Seeing this insane ICE violence in Saint Paul, and I’m wondering where Betty McCollum is. Just the most absent congressperson of all time. Hardly any communication about what’s happening to her constituent. Not built for the moment.

Donate to Support Local Columbia Heights Families, organized by Brenna Zeimet Families in our neighborhood are being impacted by the raids happening in our co… Brenna Zeimet needs your support for Support Local Columbia Heights Families

Hey folks. Sharing the gfm for Columbia Heights school rent relief. Yes, it’s already got lots of money, but they report more than $700k in requests.

This little burb has been extremely hard hit. This is where Liam Ramos & his father were taken. Several other school kids families in hiding.

Invoking wealthy class solidarity to excuse sex crimes against children is sorta the Epstein Class in a nutshell

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.

Chris Murphy: "I sat with the kids for an hour. They saw things in these prisons they'll never forget. The bottom line is we have a constitutional obligation to only fund an administration that's operating lawfully. We cannot, we should not fund DHS if it committing these crimes."

Stand With Minnesota Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

Good morning. Abolish ICE.

I’m going to highlight some fundraisers with low numbers in the thread.

They crush the local economy, deplete city budgets, illegally withhold congressionally allocated funds. In exchange we get masked Texans running wild in the streets, paid for with tax money that was supposed to be used on our healthcare. Thank you to our federal partners.

I'm still waiting for some billionaire to figure out they could become a beloved folk hero just by taking a day or 3 and funding every single GoFundMe for rent relief and legal aid in Minnesota for a couple months.

$30 Million would go A LONG way, and they'd barely notice.

Just a shoutout to @jchavezmpls.bsky.social for just having outstanding constituent services and pounding the pavement to get folks' rent paid. He's one of the leaders who has really impressed me over the course of this occupation.

It bears repeating that Tom Homan is a fucking psycho and Greg Bovino's exile means functionally nothing when it comes to what's happening on the ground in Minnesota.

ICE MADE AN UNDERAGE GIRL SPEND THE NIGHT IN A HOTEL ROOM WITH THEM.
