I'm going to make it a mission to remind people that it was the MINNESOTA REBEL ALLIANCE, not "Minneapolis," that showed the country was mutual aid and resistance can look like.
If we're going to learn from it, you have to remember that people pitched to help others who WERE NOT "neighbors."

This is a subtle point but I’ll try it out as a “yes, and”: What Minnesota (not just Minneapolis) showed us is even bigger than “love your neighbor,” because in Minnesota, “neighbor” is a more expansive category than proximity. It’s anyone who needs help.
My theory of the moment: The extraordinary courage of ordinary people in places like Minneapolis is reawakening us to our social and economic ties to immigrants. It's making "love thy neighbor" cool again. That's the ultimate antidote to MAGA hate.

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

Minnesotans are going to be reeling from this for a long time. Yes, it seems they’re in retreat. But that doesn’t fix the damage they’ve brought upon us.
When this is all over, we’re going to be left figuring out how to put our state back together again.

NEW: Minneapolis residents aren't buying that ICE is finally ending its campaign of terror in their communities, despite border czar Tom Homan declaring the surge is over.

For @mnaurorafc.bsky.social, there was no debate about whether the team would speak out against ICE and its presence in the state.
The question was: What would they say? And, how could they make a tangible impact in their community?

Be careful, folks. ICE is still out there, circling the schools this morning. Even if this withdrawal is happening over the next week, some of the agents want to get their last bit of being shitheads in.

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.
