3 ICE agents got McDonald’s and then went on a joy ride through the neighborhood tonight around 1 AM. This has nothing to do with public safety and is all about terrorizing people and burning through taxpayer dollars. This is why we can’t rest until every last agent leaves our state.

We really need an eviction moritorium right now, Gov. Thousands of Minnesotans have not been able to leave their homes to work for months.

MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara issued a stern warning to his officers on Thursday: Intervene when you see Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using unlawful force or lose your job. 

“If unlawful force is being used by any law enforcement officer against any person in this city and one of our officers is there, absolutely, I expect them to intervene, or they’ll be fired,” O’Hara said when asked how his officers should respond to excessive force by ICE agents. 

O’Hara noted that cases of “excessive” force that were “readily apparent” would merit officer intervention. A sergeant from O’Hara’s department later clarified that while Minneapolis Police Department officers may physically intervene in the case of unlawful force, they would stop short of arresting ICE agents.

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

If you’ve paid for TSA pre-check I challenge you to donate $75 to this fund for neighbors still in hiding.

Please help - the needs are enormous. Rent is due this weekend.

Saw someone talk about ICE the way some of us still try to talk about covid. "It's still here even though someone in power claimed it was over. It's still causing harm. Some folks are still stuck at home because of it. Let's not go back to normal let's build something better"

Hope we do this time

ICE was the quarry target this morning and then driving dangerously through northeast & downtown.

ICE is still very much here and we need to make sure we still have people out keeping watch for our neighbors.

“We Belong to Each Other Now”: Lessons from Minneapolis “This extreme closeness, togetherness and intimacy — you cannot infiltrate your way into a space where you'll understand that," says May, a rapid responder in Minneapolis.

After months of relentless rapid response in Minneapolis, members of Defend the 612 had a moment to breathe and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the grief they carry, and the citywide fellowship they hope will endure. The crisis is not over, and I’m grateful they made time to speak with me.

When I say our leaders aren’t helping us, this is what I mean. ICE is showing no signs of leaving but our senator, who is currently running for governor, doesn’t even know that. And she’s doing the administration‘s work for them.

Some of the people of Minneapolis still can’t leave their homes. Nice sentiment, but we need more action from the city.

Could you please allocate more $ for the countless basic needs our immigrant neighbors have right now instead of whatever this is

ohhhhh y'all, this is amazing, we just cracked 11k (out of a goal of 50k, which is almost surely less than the actual need). That's $4,000 raised tonight!! 12.5k gets us a quarter of the way there. local networks are stretched so thin; can you help us get this in front of out-of-state eyes?

3-panel comic from Aram J French from mandatoryrollerscoaster.com:
First panel:
Grey hoodie guy talking to brown sweater guy: "We invented a robot that answers questions."

Second panel:
Grey hoodie guy (standing next to robot): "We just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day."

Third panel:
Brown sweater guy: "But it answers the questions correctly?"
Grey hoodie guy (making a face as if it was obvious): "Oh my goodness, no. No no no no no"

Let me be clear: the mayor has done NOTHING to support the people of Minneapolis. He invited Homan and ICE to City Hall in violation of the separation ordinance. He fundraised for his own legal defense instead of for rent.

Our mayor is so goddamn embarrassing. Minneapolis sees this for what it is. A pizza party for essential workers on their 15 minute break.

Media moved on because for one hour Trump pinky-swore he was going to do his genocide in a nicer way, and every day since the people in Minnesota are showing us it looks like a war zone

If you thought MPD overspending their 2025 overtime budget by 50% was bad, get a load of 2026: "We have spent all of our overtime budgeted for police and fire this year in the first 3 weeks of January."

This is Minneapolis:

I fed my kids dinner 1.5 hour late because I learned their classmate's dad was abducted by our federal government this afternoon and needed to jump in to coordinate support for the family.

We're so close to hitting the goal on this GoFundMe. Please donate and share!
