Federal agents’ use of chemical weapons has hurt children at immigration raids, while walking down their block, and in their schools.
ICE's tear gas sent a 6-month-old to the hospital, the latest in an alarming pattern

Reminder: this event is tomorrow! Help up put together whistle kits for distribution in the Twin Cities. Take what you need or just help prep them for your neighbors! It’s a lowkey way to help, with plenty of food, drinks, and community.

Please share on all socials!

DOJ is out of control. The crime of impeding federal agents requires physical force. Speaking out against the way ICE is being deployed is not a crime.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.
Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE detention and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost.

Given the timing, we consider this to be targeted harassment as punishment for exercising our First Amendment rights.

We're still handing out free whistles. And we just got in hundreds of new yard signs.

Keep resisting, Minnesota. We love you.

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.

In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

I've been thinking about this again this week. We all deserve a lot of grace right now. For ourselves and for each other.
A colleague just shared, in response to the complaint that it's incredibly difficult to get work done under conditions of such high uncertainty, that navigating uncertainty IS work. Appreciating that.

SNAP now has work requirements for people 55 to 64. But because of the axing of a USDA food insecurity survey, we may not have comprehensive data of the effects of this barbaric change. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/food/2026/01...
Trump's USDA is hiding the data on food stamp cuts
The agency's Food Insecurity Survey was pointless "liberal fodder," a spokesperson said.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
