I’m going to stand on my overpass with my giant upside down flag.
I’m going to stand in between vulnerable people in my community and ICE.
And if I’m shot in the face it will be because ICE did that. Not because I asked for it.

The "liberal wine moms" were right in 2017 and are fighting the good fight now. And the pundits are beginning to recognize it.

ICE isn’t making rare mistakes. This is the point.
When an agency can grab people first and sort out rights later, if they bother at all, everyone is at risk. Citizen or not.

👀 In 1943- Knut Hamsun - a Norwegian Nobel Prize winner for literature in 1920 and a Nazi sympathizer - sent his #Nobel medal to Third-Reich propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels as a token of his admiration.

NC peeps- just got off the phone with cult member masquerading as House Rep Tim Moore’s Gastonia office and they whole heartedly support ICE murdering an American citizen. Just thought everyone should know. In case you have thoughts on that his number is 980-460-8110.

Police state violence from Tehran to Minneapolis shows nearly identical tactics between the Iranian security police (FARAJA) and the Trump administration's ICE. Both escalate very quickly to lethal tactics and enjoy full immunity when they murder protesters. www.sueddeutsche.de/kultur/minne...
Social Media: Eine Achse der Brutalität von Teheran nach Minneapolis
In Iran sind die Bildschirme schwarz, in den USA füllen sie sich mit Videos staatlicher Gewalt. Über die Kontrolle von Medien.

Yes. This.
Another critical piece of missing context in this story: tax dollars flow from the MSP metro to rural Minnesota. People in the city subsidize the lifestyles of people living in the country minnesotareformer.com/2023/12/04/t...

Yes.
So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them
January 16, 2026 at 12:34 AM

This is a very smart point. And it is echoed by what I have been told about how things happened this time around in Portland as well in the aftermath of 2020.
One thing that people don't understand is that the community base opposing ICE is extremely committed to avoiding anything that could trigger rioting, I think largely because of the 2020 experience. Trump thinks he can redo 2020 but shoot the protesters this time, but Minneapolis isn't the same.
Ironically a lot of the base of Minnesota's activitists' response was laid as a result of the riots following Chauvin's murder of George Floyd. That's part of why I feel like this administration doesn't understand who they're messing with. The Twin Cities got organized in 2020 and remains so.

Gavin Newsom is a presidential frontrunner in part because he not only talked the talk about fighting Trump, but came up with and executed a plan to actually do it. Other Democrats should take note. Words and stern letters ain’t sufficient.

It will become increasingly important for people to take video and protect and save that video so that when there is finally an accounting for what’s happening, there will be evidence.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Frey: "I've seen conduct from ICE that is disgusting & intolerable. If it were your city, it would unacceptable there too. ICE can leave & this massive deployment can come to an end. We have filed litigation to hopefully make it so, but I'm deeply concerned we don't have that kind of time."

None of it is a distraction. It’s all the thing.
I wish I could get back some of the time I've inadvertently spent reading comments about what is and isn't a distraction.

Here's an idea, constrain the executive *before* they do something crazy. Congress was Article I for a reason
Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), to Bloomberg TV:
“If there is military action against #Greenland, I will be one of the first people to file and co-sponsor a War Powers Resolution. It will pass.”
