I'm sorry you aren't enjoying being one of the bad guys
Hennepin County Sheriff's Office deputies and members of multiple assisting agencies have given dispersal orders for an unlawful protest at the Whipple Building. Deputies have been on the ground for the last few hours and made several attempts to ask protesters to unblock an access road. The group was clear that they will not unblock the road. Deputies have explained what will happen if they do not comply with the lawful orders. We've given them time to move. There have been ice chunks thrown at multiple vehicles, breaking windows. Deputies have given three dispersal orders for an unlawful protest. Individuals who do not comply with orders and those who continue unlawful behavior have been and will continue to be arrested. Please avoid the area.

“I am Puerto Rican,” she says. “I send my kids with their passports to school. I’m having conversations with them about safety: Am I safe at school? A week ago we had an incident where there was a school bus with the STOP sign open and kids were getting on the bus and it was surrounded by ICE agents. And this is 7:20 in the morning and — just — you get that fight-or-flight response.” At first her 9-year-old was carrying her passport in her backpack; now it’s in her back pocket. “I have to prepare them for it if they get stopped,” she says. “I said, Do not engage. This is not the time to be cussing at anyone. But she said, Mom, if I create enough noise, my friends can get away.”

Don't forget the Supreme Court's role facilitating ICE's brutality and racism in Minneapolis. SCOTUS lifted an injunction that limited racial profiling in immigration enforcement on Sept. 8. The federal assault on Chicago began the next day. Then came the Twin Cities. SCOTUS greenlit these horrors.

Glad you caught up. Now abolish ICE

American citizens do not need to “prove” their identity to ICE agents to avoid arrest and detention.

Unconstitutional.

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies.

May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism.

This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs.

Vaccinate your pets please.
Worries about vaccination rates in dogs As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

Idk @ward4.minneapolismn.gov maybe this is why we need you to denounce ICE. Doesn't matter that this wasn't your ward-- this is what is happening to our community.

I'm having trouble deciding if this or the appellate court pause has me more pissed off.

CM Vetaw just called me to try to defend herself. She apparently still does not think it is her role to denounce ICE and demand they leave Minneapolis. She also cast some concerning (& thus far from my experience, baseless) suspicions about our neighborhood rapid response network.

Hoo boy. Fundraising email HenCo Sheriff Dewitt
This is Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt. Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I wanted to send a personal message to you and also invite you to a gathering tomorrow. I just got out of an interview with Fox 9's Amy Hockert discussing our role in keeping the peace during a painful, out-of-control time in Hennepin County. The current surge of federal agents, and some of their behavior specifically, has The current surge of federal agents, and some of their behavior specifically, has affected our community deeply. In law enforcement, we all pay the price when one of our own oversteps the line. I have seen videos and received firsthand accounts of that happening over and over again in the last month. It has to stop. At the same time, our deputies have taken a great deal of abuse for simply doing their jobs, keeping the peace, patrolling the areas At the same time, our deputies have taken a great deal of abuse for simply doing their jobs, keeping the peace, patrolling the areas that we are required by law to patrol, and attempting to minimize the violence in our streets. The small number of demonstrators who use violence undermine the cause of the thousands of peaceful demonstrators around them. It is not an easy time to be in public service It is not an easy time to be in public service. It is not an easy time to live in Hennepin County. But we will make it through. I am running for re-election to keep Hennepin County safe, to protect residents from those who wish to do harm, and to ensure our justice system treats everyone fairly. I would be so honored to receive your support one more time. Thank you for standing with me, for believing in me, and for

Last year, Rubio oversaw the gutting of USAID—just years after he lobbied Joe Biden to increase its budget. As one political figure in Miami put it, “The one constant in Marco Rubio’s career is that he has betrayed every mentor and every principle he’s ever had in order to claim power for himself.”

Holy shit. Simon Rosenberg, the longtime Dem lobbyist for Silicon Valley, has been trying to edit his own Wikipedia page under the user handle SimonWDC. Specifically, on March 13, 2025, he tried to delete this politically damaging paragraph from his biography:
According to the 2002 book How to Hack a Party Line: The Democrats and Silicon Valley, Rosenberg and NDN were instrumental in shifting control of the Democratic Party away from labor unions and toward Silicon Valley businesses 131 Rosenberg said in 1999, "Our problem as a party is that the biggest source of our venture capital now comes from labor, which is a group that's becoming less and less important, and representing less and less of a percentage of American voters. ... We have to replace labor's investment in the party with investment from another source, and hopefully from a source that's growing. "[3)

Back in 2020 when there was just a murmur of Proud Boys eyeing North, CM Cunningham and his husband had us working together to patrol the neighborhood and businesses. Neighborhood guy in his golf cart: I disagree with him on everything politically but this is our neighborhood.

‼️Our relatives cannot shelter safely outside due to ICE escalation. MIWRC offers a culturally grounded low-barrier sanctuary; services, warmth, food, safety, & support obtaining tribal ID’s/documents.

This is survival. This is sovereignty. We take care of us.

‼️ URGENT Our unsheltered Indigenous relatives need a warm place to survive. While ICE terrorizes Minneapolis, detaining Native people who are citizens of this land since time immemorial, the Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center is holding the line. Our people cannot shelter safely outside. MIWRC offers a culturally grounded, low-barrier sanctuary in the heart of the Phillips neighborhood. The Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center warming shelter is open. But keeping it open costs money. They need $45,000 to maintain operations as this crisis continues. This week: → One person died from exposure → Four Oglala Sioux tribal members were detained by ICE → Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent → Temps are plunging to dangerous, deadly levels Beyond warmth, food, and safety, MIRC staff will help guests obtain tribal IDs and documentation. Right now, that paperwork can be the difference between freedom and detention. This is about survival. This is about sovereignty. This is about taking care of our own when the government won’t. Donate now: https://bit.ly/Healinglight Every dollar keeps the doors open. Share widely. Miigwech 🌷🪶
