Another addition to the website to help us built *systems* and not just have me trying to do everything alone: If you'd like to adopt a rent that you can either *cover immediately* and fundraise for, or just pay outright, please fill out this form and we will contact you via Signal.

CALLING ALL OBSERVERS, PROTESTORS, AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS: Now is the time to know how to protest safely! At this presentation you will get a 101 course on the arsenal of a riot/ICE cop and what you can do to help face them safely. RSVP: actionnetwork.org/events/prote...

people are always like “what link do i give to?!” one giant pile of money is actually not a great way to help people. people choosing a variety of places to give helps keep the money moving. no one org gets flooded to the point of breaking. a PTA, the mutual aid venmo, can move $ even faster.

“we need ICE to act more like cops” buddy. no. no we do not.

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

god damn these stupid dumb idiot motherfuckers

The Oglala Lakota Nation unanimously voted to ban ice from their reservation. www.netnewsledger.com/2026/01/23/o...

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

a woman was being assaulted by a federal agent, and the victim placed his body between her and her assailant, trying to protect her... agents pepper spray him twice in the face, gang tackle him, take away the gun he was concealed carrying and made no visible effort to touch, and then murder him

I continue to be impressed by and grateful for people who can be articulate about this moment we’re living thru when the only response I can muster rn is screaming

Protester in Minneapolis just before disappearing in gas: "Fuck you! Stop. Damn! I'm 70 years old and I'm fuckin' angry!"

ICE is not untrained, they’re unrestrained. Abolish is the floor. Democrats need to come along or get out of the people’s way.

ICE killed another Minnesotan. there is video and it is very bad. www.facebook.com/share/r/1aPB...

This is so fucking haunting.

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement. "I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish. Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature. Minneapolis, MN

MINNESOTA VERSION OF COME OUT YE BLACK AND TANS

Thousands outside Terminal 1 at the Minneapolis airport now.

I hope our general strike in Minnesota shows the rest of you that big things are possible. Hundreds of local businesses—more & more each hour—are announcing that they’ll be closed on Friday to tell ICE to GTFO of here. Restaurants, cafes, bookstores, shops, theaters, museums, and the list goes on ✊🏼

As over 1000 businesses in the Twin Cities close with workers out on strike today in defiance of ICE and Trump, we recall the 1934 general strike in Minneapolis. Police murdered two people. The governor declared martial law. But the strikers still won their demands. crimethinc.com/responserevo...

We spent months and months figuring out how to connect generic drugs to the factories they were made in. A bunch of researchers asked us for our data, so we’re giving it away to everyone: www.propublica.org/article/rx-i...

That's right. Do what you need to do today because tomorrow, we shut down. Get to a small business on this list, go buy that milk, that fancy coffee, those tacos & books today. #iceout

Exploding Trees Risk? 🌳💥

None of the institutions you put blind faith in are going to save you from the other institutions you put blind faith in. You are starting to understand abolition, you are starting to understand why centrist pablum is nonsense and it might get you killed www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

Welcome to Minneapolis. Our neighbors have witnessed too many war crimes at this point. Federal agents even left weapons on the ground.

1/21/2026 - Minneapolis Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children

They are absolutely fucking everywhere today. If you can be out, go out

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link. DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS. This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it! Stay frosty, friends.

This is CRITICAL. I know you’re all putting your back into mutual aid & a thousand other great things, but if there’s anything left here, so many folks depend on these front-line lawyers right now.

Minneapolis groups call for ‘general strike’. "...several local unions—including Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005, SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, CWA Local 7250, and St. Paul Federation of Educators Local 28—have lent their support to the strike." www.commondreams.org/news/minneap...
