MN—>NC—>MN for now + TBD! Urban planner-person ~ transportation, land use, zoning, environment | Often transportation and specifically Amtrak posting, probably! [also Minnesota sports, sorry!] | Opinions are just mine, thanks!
ICE is in my rural MN hometown today for the 1st time since the surge began. My hometown is one of the most diverse places in MN, and ppl—including former classmates—are full of fear. People have already been taken. There was an observer training yeserday w/250 ppl. Rural MN doesn’t all “love ice” 😓

There’s been much discourse on “why do they keep attacking MN/Minneapolis,” and this photo sums one reason up. We have a huge number of very “average” looking white people who welcome & stick up for their Muslim, immigrant, refugee, etc. neighbors! They hate us because we care about everyone!

I need a Minnesota flag emoji so bad, but once again I am proud of my state💙
Lang's boys are vastly outnumbered by folks in opposition across the road here. People chanting, "go home Nazis" and "Nazis fuck off!"

Re-boosting this—please donate if you can or please please do send this to friends outside MN asking how to help. Their fundraiser has a long way to go and they really needs the support so they can help their friend and co-worker! He was taken in a suburb in a quiet way, so not a well-known gofundme
Hello Bluesky, especially non-Minnesota ppl: If you have money to spare, a beloved co-worker of an old friend's mom was abducted by ICE 3 days ago, and immediately sent to El Paso. Please help if you can! (and yes he was abducted despite having valid work permit to 2030 & no criminal record...)

Yes, & the various beautiful flavors of the Minnesota accent are *notoriously* hard to fake convincing & consistently, hence why I've laughed at most portrayals of our accent in movies and TV. It's usually so bad! You you can imagine the dudes in many of the videos calling into the KFAN line lol😂
How you can tell the protesters aren’t paid agitators: Watch the videos. It’s the accents.

Those accents have a favorite Zorbaz.

Those accents can tell you EXACTLY where they were on 10/31/91.

Those accents have thrown a bra off the SkyGlider.

Those accents get emotional about Randy Moss.

Translated video during the 911 call from the family of the man who was shot through the door of his house, after being chased by federal agents and having a confrontation outside the house. definitely contradicts the DHS story and of course they don’t sy vulnerable children were in the house
“They chased him, he got home and when we closed the door they shot him.”

MN orgs/electeds say👇🏽this is the family calling the police with ICE outside, after a man was shot in the leg with a pregnant woman & child inside

Different than DHS’ shovel story: www.instagram.com/reel/DThEdD8...

Please spread the truth!! From StarTrib, it was the man’s FAMILY who came outside of HIS HOUSE to defend him, they ran inside and he was shot in the process. the man had been chased by agents (with knows WHAT warrants) and he drove back to his house! there were children in the house!

Weird coastal elite New Yorker article “the quiet and sedate minneaotans seem to have stopped protesting.” Minnesotans: “i will go out to support my neighbors against armed federal agents who shoot people and protect myself with my broiling pan”
@statuscoupnews.bsky.social interviewing this woman in Minneapolis right now who said she came out of her home, wearing whatever she could grab to protect herself from ICE agents. You do what you can, with what you got.

Unreal. So screwed up.
Latest on the federal forces in Minnesota from me and my colleague Jeff Hargarten:

There are now more federal immigration agents in MN than the 10 largest Twin Cities police departments combined.

9% of ICE is in MN right now, even though MN has less than 1% of the nation's undocumented immigrants.
Are 3,000 ICE agents ‘disproportionate’ to Twin Cities police forces?
Their presence is bigger than the 10 largest metro police departments combined.

Little did I know when I voted for Elliott Payne (now Council President) in 2021 that one day he'd be standing up for constituents during a violent, often-unconstitutional federal occupation of Ward 1 + the whole city. What a leader; a leader who I also wish didn't have to be leading in this way.
ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

The absolute swarm of my beloved fellow Minnesotans responding to this gives me so much hope💙 The current regime wants wo badly to move Mpls (+the state/nation) backwards but they forgot Minneapolis’s motto is En Avant! Forward!
Video of federal agents getting run out of Lyn Lake this afternoon. Agents drop a gas can at the end and someone kicks it back at them.

Truly, you cannot silence us, and Minnesotans have—to put it lightly—had it.

You cannot silence Minnesotans! Minneapolis, Jan. 10, 2026
January 11, 2026 at 3:55 AM
Even mother nature and the sidewalks of Mpls do not want a different form of ICE here
Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.

This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

Please, donate if you can to support families in Minneapolis.
30 families in Ward 9 need help. If you have capacity please donate so we can get families food.

- Email Costco gift cards to naomialexandra@gmail.com
- Venmo at @ Kevin-nye-3
- Cash App at $revkev
Hey all,
I have abt 30 families in South Minneapolis who need grocery support. I’m hoping to raise $3000 to do a big Costco run, but I don’t have Venmo & I don’t have the ability to float it on my credit card. You can verify this need w/ @jchavezmpls.bsky.social. Please let me know if you have ideas

ICE OUT NOW
Dear ICE. Get the fuck out of Minneapolis.

Gov. Walz invoking the 1st Minnesota’s legendary charge at Gettysburg, paraphrasing as couldn’t catch all of it: “When things looked really bleak it, was Minnesota’s 1st that held the line on that July day. It may be the case that the nation is now looking to us [again, at this time]. - 1/2
January 8, 2026 at 6:00 PM
Walz just now during news conference: “Leave my people alone. Leave our state alone.”
January 8, 2026 at 5:48 PM
Minneapolis showed up tonight; solid blocks of people at peak, which was a bit later than this video (& this only captures not quite half the crowd). ICE OUT NOW!
January 8, 2026 at 5:13 AM
Nice arguement. However, I have already portrayed myself as the sleek 1941 Lincoln Zephyr and you as a seething Cybertruck stuck in a snowbank.

I‘ve long felt that Metro Transit should use a modern version of Twin City Rapid Transit‘s late period PCC yellow/green livery, or their classic yellow/green/burgandy-ish color (could sub in blue). Would be so much nicer! MT’s buses especially look so meh (and show dirt) w/so much blank white!
one thing about the test train... it's showing us all what we could have. the yellow/green/blue livery is 1000% better than the white/blue/yellow that we use on the trains and buses.

we change the train colors i bet ridership increases x2.
