HSI and ice officers masked standing by their vehicle at the site of the arrest of Ward 12 neighbor.

Today, I received confirmed reports that agents from ICE and HSI forced entry into a residence on the 5200 block of 36th Ave., kicking in the door and detaining a constituent. Witnesses report that 8–9 masked agents carried out the operation. 🧵

Happening Now: Six people have chained themselves together outside Morrill Hall at the University of Minnesota, saying they won’t leave until President Rebecca Cunningham meets with them and declares the campus a sanctuary and ends all cooperation with ICE.

The rent is due and our immigrant neighbors are unable to make it due to this ICE occupation. Please help by contributing to a mutual aid fund. I’m supporting the greater Longfellow relief fund today: tr.ee/6iwI_i-B92

Explain to me why I’m standing in front of my childrens’ schools in subzero weather trying to make sure none of their classmates are kidnapped by armed, masked goons then.

Tina Smith endorses Peggy Flanagan over Angie Craig in Minnesota Senate race The retiring senator is choosing a fellow progressive and lieutenant governor as her successor over moderate Rep. Angie Craig.

Senator Tina Smith knows exactly what it takes to serve Minnesotans well in Washington - and she understands the kind of leadership that this moment demands.

I am so honored and humbled to have earned her endorsement to succeed her in the US Senate.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Just a reminder, the greatest living American historian filmmaker, Ken Burns, released a 720 min exploration of every facet of the American revolution using zero generative AI and paying for all of its assets instead of cobbling it from stolen data, then he gave it away for free on PBS this year.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I’m glad that Congresswoman Omar is safe.

Our state has been shattered by political violence in the last year. The cruel, inflammatory, dehumanizing rhetoric by our nation’s leaders needs to stop immediately.

I'm very relieved she is okay. The amount of hate, harassment, and violence she deals with would cause most to cower, but not her. Thank you for fighting for all of us Ilhan.

Hell, ICE’s presence and surveillance are so all-encompassing, that there are probably thousands of people in the database who were just going about their lives and happened to stumble upon a bunch of goons trying to kidnap or brutalize someone.

Somewhat ironically, the security requirements of the rapid response chats have made signal completely unusable for any other purpose.
I have friends who I've exclusively talked to on Signal for a decade, and now I can't find them because their names are all like "Elysian Destiny 🚗💨"

There’s a lot of noise right now in the media that is positive and shows that we are winning. But none of that changes the reality for our neighbors on the ground until ICE actually leaves. We still had ICE sitting in the Well Fargo parking lot and outside of Pillsbury this morning.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."
