Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti were murdered by ICE

Alex Pretti memorial

We spent the afterboon marching through south Minneapolis demanding an end to this illegal ICE occupation at the @mnaflcio.org Day Out for Democracy.

A graphic and text about the FBI shamefully denying the BCA access to evidence in the killing of Alex Pretti.

The GOP’s talking point on “state & federal cooperation” is blown apart by their own action. It’s no wonder people don’t believe them.

Lakeville business owner: “This is not politics as usual; this is an affront to humanity. I both live and own a restaurant in a GOP district. If my Representative cares about me, my local business, my rights... he'd support these proposals [to hold ICE accountable]”

I’d like to wish everyone, minus the current occupant, a happy Presidents’ Day!

F=mv. The idea of a cheap and accessible FTL system is terrifying to me.

Since December 2025, “Operation Metro Surge” has had a devastating impact on Minneapolis. It’s disrupted our local economy, broken families apart, and worsened already existing disparities our neighbors face.

An additional 76,200 people citywide may now be experiencing food insecurity. 1/

The first panel has Calvin's mom and dad talking about being unable to find dad's glasses. The second panel is mom and dad being surprised by calvin coming in with combed hair while wearing dad's glasses. The third panel has Calvin speaking to his dad saying "Calvin, go do something you hate! Being miserable builds character!". The fourth panel has dad admitting Calvin's voice was funny and being concerned with Calvin's sarcasm while his mom is collapsed in the throes of laughter out of her chair.

@ironspike.bsky.social I respectfully disagree on the best C&H comic and submit the following.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

We’re going to continue being out there and patrolling to protect our neighbors until every single last agent is gone. We’re also going to keep this connection going and continue building community for long after whenever this operation ends.

Everyone. Make sure you're doing self care. If you're exhausted, it limits your ability to help your neighbors.

Not just you. The worst kind of false spring.

Minneapolis is still aching. Trans state Rep. Leigh Finke says America must not look away. - LGBTQ Nation "People have no idea what Minnesotans are made of," she said, though she acknowledged that at this point, maybe folks are starting to understand.

“the only outcome I can imagine is that this hateful effort is defeated. Now, that may take a few years or more, and when they’re gone, it’s going to take several more years to rebuild what has been broken. But 100%, I believe that we will win.”

Glad to join MN DFL in New Ulm to listen to farmers and those impacted by the continuing tariffs on our ag and small town economies. As a farmer myself, I'm glad to see these types of listening sessions taking place so that rural Minnesota voices are heard loud and clear.

Me and Congressmember Robert Garcia, ranking member of Oversight, posing for a picture with not great overhead lighting for photos in an awesome house after both giving speeches on how we need to hold the corrupt accountable at a private fundraising event for my campaign, and yeah we fucking mean it

Just a couple of guys hanging out at a fun campaign event tonight, talking about how we’re gonna make sure those responsible see the appropriate consequences

(check the alt text if the lighting throws you off)

ICE kidnapped a neighbor in Phillips today along with others in MN. They are still the same rogue, abhorrent, & illegitimate organization meant to terrorize & separate families.

As I said yesterday, I am still asking the community to remain cautious & vigilant. We still need help.

I think the thing that enrages me the most about Musk is that he presents himself as some sci-fi nerd hero doing everything possible to save humanity by going to new planets.

If your plan for saving humanity doesn’t include the people already on earth, you’re just a racist piece of shit.

This administration will lie without thinking. They lie as easy as breathing.
But.
Minnesotans need to be sure that Minnesota's cities are following city & state laws, not complying with administration directives just to get along.
I trust Keith, not this ghoul. But let's make it clear as crystal.

I have concerns for the potential detainees that won't be able to read this, but it's still progress in the right direction.

Former NFL player, political activist, youth coach Chris Kluwe is my pick for CA Assembly District 72 in 2026. He’s ready to defeat Gracey Van Der Mark, a known Holocaust denier who has worked with Neo Nazis and radicalized white nationalists for years. Let’s go @chriswarcraft.bsky.social 🇺🇸!

I'm glad you've had some stress melt away and I hope they comply with the ruling.

Tell Minneapolis: SLOW DOWN ICE on our streets! Join us in telling the City to implement official anti-ICE traffic calming, or support grassroots filter blockades so they can operate safely!

After yesterday’s crash in Saint Paul, it’s imperative we keep our roads safe for our neighbors. Write to Minneapolis
leaders and let them know that we demand temporary traffic calming to protect us from these federal goons.

Poster with a black-and-white photo of a crowd on victory over Europe Day in New York. Text Reeds victory over Ice celebration dance party nine to midnight February 12 Black hart first round is on us.

The War isn’t over & we’re not done protecting our neighbors.
But tonight? We’re throwing an impromptu party. Come dance. We’ll buy your first round. Fuck ICE.

THE FIGHT IS NOT OVER – ABOLISH ICE
Our response to the end of Operation Metro Surge

Even though the administration says that they are ending operations in Minnesota, that does not reverse the harm inflicted or provide remedies to any of the impacts in our state.

Well, time to go open this account and file some paperwork.

I’m relieved that this violent paramilitary force will be removed from our streets, but I won’t believe it until they're actually gone.

Minnesotans deserve justice and accountability, and I won’t stop until we get it.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

The accident in Saint Paul’s Cathedral Hill today shows the danger posed to our neighbors by the ongoing presence of thousands of untrained, unidentified federal agents on our streets.

The Trump administration needs to end Operation Metro Surge and remove federal agents from our communities.
