Angie Craig saying that she regrets the vote that tons of Minnesotans told her not to make at the time and saying it now only after everyone has suffered for two months of a federal occupation that has killed two Minnesotans and destroyed thousands of neighbors lives. Fuck off.
One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day
In this moment, we need leaders who will stand up to our wannabe, Donald Trump, not vote alongside him.
No one knows that better than @indivisible.org and the @mnindivisible.bsky.social. That's why I'm so proud to have earned their endorsement.
I was at a campaign event yesterday & a politician friend made this very important point to me: we can talk about all the different MN elections in Nov, but none of them is as close and crucial to fighting fascism than reelecting Keith Ellison
Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**
He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.
as the feed moderator I am very aware that I can’t weigh in on some things without my voice carrying as a mod comment and with great power comes great responsibility, so I’ll just say this: I know we’re all on edge right now and sometimes the best thing to do is just log off for a bit. take a breath
🚨BREAKING: Local Minneapolis police SWARM ICE protesters making mass arrests in front of ICE prison. One protesters forehead is gushing blood ⬇️
Temperature Check from Caucusing:
Participation is WAY tf up.
Angie Craig is cooked in this city for that Pro ICE vote.
Klob got half the votes in a straw poll where she was the only candidate.
People HATE ICE. I had to ask a neighbor to quit asking every candidate mid speech to arrest ICE.
What the rest of the country needs to know is those days don’t exist in Minnesota right now. Every single day we hear about them terrorizing one of our neighbors, tear gassing the helpers, and driving around our city like maniacs
No peace until 1) the "detention centers" are closed & every captive has been returned home safely, and 2) every single person from a cook to the Cow Man has been put on trial for assault, kidnapping, and crimes against humanity. ICE out of MN is the starting line. Obliterated forever is the goal
Reminder:
- Nothing being reported on ICE withdrawing
- By govt’s own admission, 2,000 ICE invaders here, a still-astounding number
- Unclear how many CPB agents will be removed
- Tom Homan, the new Bovino, was the force behind ICE’s family separation policy, a bribe-taker, and a monster
the fact that the New York Times is capable of actual reporting makes their work over the past few years even more inexcusable
I mean, the law in Minnesota literally says you can
I am seeing quite a few nurses calling for a nationwide strike over the killing of Alex Pretti. I think we are seeing one of the largest workforces being radicalized before our very eyes.
Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

Protests happen, but most of what is happening in Minneapolis isn’t protesting.
More accurate terms:
- observers
- witnesses
- volunteers
- neighbors
- residents
- people
"I am a children's entertainer who specializes in face painting," writes a woman now in hiding from the federal government for witnessing a state-sanctioned street execution
I just want people outside of Minneapolis to watch this and imagine listening to that noise over you literally all the time
Gutowski tweets: “It's still early in the aftermath, and more video or audio might come to light that changes the analysis. The videos we do have look very bad, though, and appear to contradict DHS claims. Minneapolis police have also already said the man who was shot had a ccw permit.”
Second amendment advocate Stephen Gutowski reposted by conservative Christian radio guy Erick Erickson.
I have some information forthcoming on that as well as ICE’s failure to report certain things and it is not good.
i think anyone still clinging to the delusion that elections alone can solve these problems simply will not ever be a useful ally
There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry
We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

This is the scene in downtown Minneapolis this afternoon, where thousands of people have braved -25F wind chills to protest ICE operations in Minnesota.

The ICE OUT protest term is a pun here in Minnesota. In normal life, "ice-out" is the much anticipated date in the spring when winter ice is gone from lakes, marking the shift from winter to summer recreation and fishing.
