the U.S. is at a point where the Republicans are saying “these faggots have had it too good for too long! time to round em up” and the Democrats are saying “Well that word is deeply inappropriate, but we certainly should think of the children” and liberals ask me why I don’t like the polite version

biden predicated his presidency on a "return to normalcy" and then the entire Admin basically lost interest in any kind of institutional restructuring immediately in favor of legacy building and readying the ground for a re-election campaign
no one took it seriously and trump regained his hold.

the thing about january 6th is that by the insurrectionists won.
donald trump is president again. professing that the 2020 election was "stolen" is a basic requirement for any republican seeking office. many voters, as it turns out, do not care about hallowed institutions and norms.

Soren's got great links in this thread! Many ways to help your MSP neighbors, even if you can't do ICE watch.
🧵Neighbors, please be aware that there has been an increase in already very escalated immigration enforcement activity these past few days, with reports that roughly 2,000 agents will be sent to the Twin Cities over the course of a month-long deployment.

Jason has been at every single call for responders I’ve been to. He was on the RR call when I joined at 6 AM and again when I joined at 7 PM. He is doing so much for the people of Ward 9 and the people of Minneapolis and I am so lucky to have him as my city counselor. Please help his family!
One of my uncles was kidnapped by ICE yesterday. He was always there for my family and even helped my family afford my graduation party when I graduated college. 💔
Anything helps. ICE has no humanity. Hard workers literally being torn from their families.

It’s crazy to think they basically put in double the Feds than the combined police forces of Minneapolis (585) and St. Paul (561).
Everything is awful but it’s extremely funny that even aging Mpls rockers are getting in on ice patrols. (A.levy on IG had a run in today)
You can’t swing a dead cat without seeing the Feds in the city today. You are going to run into them if you leave your house.

Eventually they left. But there were like 5-7 cars of neighbors observing them who checked in on me. That’s what i mean: there’s more of us than them. They are pathetic. I feel sorry for them. They have to spend so much energy to tell themselves they’re not evil. They are.

It’s wild that there are multiple ICE kidnappings happening every hour in the Twin Cities. But also so amazing that when these fascists get together to stage a raid there’s more of us than them.
ICE is out in large numbers in Saint Paul and Minneapolis today following the recent surge in federal agents being deployed to the Twin Cities. Please be careful, support your neighbors, and contact the MONARCA hotline (612.441.2881) with any verified ICE sightings.

If you can't do IC3 Watch, there are so many other ways to plug in: Providing rides & groceries for impacted families; fundraising; making hot drinks & food for rapid responders; providing somatic support; interpreting; & so much more.

If you are a DFLer running for anything from dog catcher to Governor, before I give you a cent, my time, or my vote, you'd better tell me what you're doing today, when Kristi Noem is in town with up to 2000 new ICE agents, kidnapping peeople off the street, pepper spraying and threatening civilians.

It appears two ICE observers following ICE agents on 31st in south Minneapolis this morning were arrested. Activists say it appears the ICE observer vehicle was stopped or slid into something, and ICE agents used pepper spray and broke the car window, arresting the occupants.

It's Day 35 of the ICE occupation of MSP.
Today has been the single most active day of ICE kidnappings in South Minneapolis since the occupation began.
We are tired. Our hearts hurt for our neighbors who were kidnapped and their families.

it would have been wiser and more selfless and would have played less into the racist right-wing narrative for him to have stepped aside months ago so a real primary could happen. the issues with his campaign were not new and have been known by the DFL. but whatever i guess
Walz made "a wise and selfless decision," Rochelle Olson writes, "that reshapes the 2026 governor’s race and improves DFL chances at holding the office."
