ICE RAID IN SAINT PAUL THIS MORNING
This wasn’t “enforcement” — it was an invasion meant to terrorize our community. We won’t be silent. We won’t be intimidated. We protect each other. We organize. We resist.

Our city is not theirs to terrorize.

We’re selling this jacket to raise money for Women’s Advocates, who continue to fight for survivors of domestic violence.

Every dollar builds power, shelters the vulnerable & chips away at the systems that harm.

Gear up. Stand up.

Black lightweight jacket with a hood and front pouch pocket. On the left chest area, there's a circular white logo featuring three raised ice cream cones facing down and to the left, symbolizing solidarity and resistance. Back view of the same black hooded jacket. Centered across the back is a large white graphic with the bold, textured letters "bHb" and the words "bucket hat brigade" written underneath in lowercase letters.

Today, we honor Juneteenth by remembering the truth: freedom was delayed, justice was denied—and the fight continues.

June 19, 1865 wasn't the end of slavery’s legacy, but a call to action that still echoes today.

We stand in solidarity. We listen, learn, and show up.

#Juneteenth
A graphic design celebrating Juneteenth with the text "HAPPY JUNETEENTH" in bold letters. "JUNE" is in red, "TEEN" in gold, and "TH" in green, reflecting the Pan-African colors. Below, it reads "FREEDOM DAY" in handwritten-style black text. The background is a light beige with red, gold, and green brush strokes in the top left and bottom right corners. A stylized icon of the Bucket Hat Brigade logo is in the bottom left corner.

We’re heartbroken and enraged by the attack on Rep. Melissa Hortman, Sen. John Hoffman, and their spouses. This was political violence. Period.

Melissa fought for a better MN. Now it’s our turn to fight - for justice, for safety, for each other.

We mourn. We rage. We organize.

#EnoughIsEnough
Side-by-side portraits of Rep. Melissa Hortman and Sen. John Hoffman, both smiling. Rep. Hortman on the left has straight blonde hair, is wearing a dark blazer with a purple blouse, and stands in front of a red and white background. Sen. Hoffman on the right has short brown hair, is wearing a dark pinstriped suit with a blue shirt and striped tie, and stands against a plain gray background.

Alt text: A black background with white text features a solidarity statement from the Bucket Hat Brigade. The message expresses support for immigrant communities and condemns ICE and Trump-era immigration policies, calling them cruel, racist, and rooted in white supremacy. It affirms that no human being is illegal and emphasizes that borders do not define dignity. The statement highlights soccer’s immigrant-built legacy and calls for all supporters, clubs, and communities to reject xenophobia and state violence. It ends with: “Abolish ICE. Dismantle white supremacy. Defend our immigrant community.” Below the text is an illustration of a bucket hat with red, white, and blue stars. Texto alternativo (alt text) en español: Declaración de solidaridad en español de la Brigada del Sombrero de Cubo contra ICE y las políticas migratorias de la administración Trump. El mensaje denuncia el racismo, la separación de familias y la supremacía blanca, y exige la abolición de ICE. Afirma que ningún ser humano es ilegal y destaca el papel de los inmigrantes en el fútbol. Al final, aparece una ilustración de un sombrero de cubo con estrellas y hexágonos en rojo, blanco y azul, haciendo referencia al fútbol. Fondo negro con texto en blanco.

So well said by our BHB friends!

Pride is not a performative act and it’s not just the month of June.

The Citizens stand, side by side and fight for the rights of our friends, family, neighbors and all people in our community every hour of every day.

Pride isn’t about branding.
It’s not just about parades.
It’s about showing up—especially if you’re not the one under attack.

As allies, it’s on us to make it clear:
We’re not neutral. We’re in this fight. 🧵

The Bucket Hat Brigade stands with the MNUFC.com social team & mnwonderwall.bsky.social. Passion, pride & banter are part of the game. “History over Hype” isn’t just words—it’s identity. We respect legends, but we celebrate our way.

Culture > Cash.

#MNUFC #BucketHatBrigade #HistoryOverHype
A large crowd of soccer fans, many wearing Minnesota United FC gear, cheer and clap in a stadium. Above them hangs a massive blue and black tifo banner that reads, “HISTORY OVER HYPE, CULTURE OVER CASH,” with various icons around the text representing local and cultural symbols. The atmosphere is festive and passionate, reflecting strong fan support and community pride.

It highlights the impact of La Brigada De Oro on Nashville SC and pledges continued support and resistance against targeting of immigrant communities. The statement ends with “La Brigada De Oro no está sola. We got your back. Always,” followed by the hashtags #StandWithLaBrigadaDeOro and #NoOneStandsAlone. At the bottom is a stylized image of a bucket hat decorated with stars and stripes.

We had an awesome time at our first home opener for the Twoons, even though the result wasn’t what we hoped for! The energy, the fans, and the atmosphere made it an unforgettable experience.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again on the 18th!

Let’s keep the support going!

This is our day.

Workers built it all — and we’re done being silent.
To the strikers, the organizers, the fighters: we see you.
We are you.

We don’t beg. We organize.

Happy May Day from the Bucket Hat Brigade.
