For someone who became famous on TV for firing people in person, Donald is such a coward about firing people in real life. He fired Kristi Noem in a tweet *while* she was giving a televised address.

No amount of regret can reunite families, save children from indefinite detention, or make our communities whole again.

MPD has not submitted a single case involving federal agents for charging. Tomorrow MPD will be before the council, I want to hear from them why. Neighbors have seen way more than their fair share of criminal behavior by ICE

It's dereliction of duty and complete lack of leadership. All the blue state governors were just in DC. They should get on their phone tree and convene.

BAFTAS were pre-recorded. Despite that, BBC chose to:
- Leave in the N-word shouted while Black men were on stage
- Cut out homophobic slurs shouted by the same person
- Cut out "Free Palestine" declared by a Black man on stage

This is what white supremacy & genocide approval looks like. Reject it.

One would think that this would merit an emergency convening of all Blue state governors, Attorneys generals and Congressional representatives. It's a declaration of war on one state which means they'll do it to others too.

Volunteer β€” Stand With Minnesota

No matter where you live, if you have any capacity to volunteer, we have a lot of unpaid folks helping administer rent and skymiles donations, and we need more support.

25.02.2026 18:37 πŸ‘ 359 πŸ” 296 πŸ’¬ 5 πŸ“Œ 4

We had $18k in rent requests come in just today (so far).

We’re anticipating needs at our neighborhood school to be over $100k again this month, but this time donations are WAY down. We don’t have enough money to cover everyone.

Please help us keep our neighbors w/ young kids from being evicted!

Carlile, joined by Minneapolis-based activist choir Singing Resistance, sang β€œIt’s Okay To Change Your Mind,” a protest song that calls on ICE agents to rethink their work and join local resistance, during a benefit concert that raised over $600,000 for families affected by ICE #NOH8

Democrats know that they can basically waltz into power and they’re going to pull out all the stops to make sure the democrats who seize that power are the ones who look the most like republicans and my advice would be that we don’t let them.

Sophie Scholl and the White Rose: anti-fascist resistance that still inspires

83 years ago, Sophie Scholl was executed by guillotine for leading a student resistance against Hitler. She was 21.

The student resistance group was called β€œThe White Rose”.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

Dems should fill every empty seat at the SOTU with Epstein victims and survivors. They should be put at the forefront of every conversation and event until we see real accountability for what they’ve been through. You don’t get to victimize people just because you have money.

We’re still seeing ICE a lot in the suburbs, following legal observers to their homes, and holding tons of our neighbors at Whipple and then dumping them out in the middle of the night. We still need to stay vigilant until every last one of them leaves our state and our neighbors are back home.

The same day DHS announced the surge would end in Minnesota, ICE activity increased in small towns The less densely populated areas outside the Twin Cities make it harder for protesters and observers to organize.

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.
