The person photographed here who is in their bathrobe filming armed, masked federal agents in St. Paul is MPR News journalist @samstroozas.bsky.social @mprnews.org . She is an incredible journalist and person. We do not deserve her.

Our notably apolitical oldies station in MSP was playing a block of ‘60s protest songs last night. Not a huge listener but pretty sure they’ve never busted out Richie Havens before.

I feel like I read a book once where this was a thing. In England.

“Actually this doesn’t really matter” is maybe not the play right now.

Was just thinking about how when you’re a compassionate person of color, there is a melancholy when uprisings finally happen when a white person dies. Cause you affirm humanity, so you believe it is the right thing to happen AND because you know how many of your own people were denied that dignity.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

The “speakeasy” trend feels extra stupid now that businesses actually have to guard their doors to keep from getting raided.

Remote desk jockey here - I’m taking PTO and donating my salary for the day to a community organization, and will volunteer where needed. Feels like a bare minimum kind of thing to do.
That’s a lot of places on strike.
Very telling that the resistance is overwhelmingly being put up by the service industry. Where are the white collar workers?

I feel like an outlet with the time and money to send a stringer to a bar in Nisswa could have someone ask around about this.

As anticipated, zero mention of ICE targeting houses of worship.
Protesters interrupted a Sunday church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, over a pastor’s apparent work as an ICE official. The Justice Department says it's investigating. nyti.ms/4a0cn9s

There will no doubt be handwringing over the St. Paul church protest from people who have no idea that ICE has been stalking BIPOC and immigrant houses of worship all over the city.

My kid’s music school was in this building for a while and shared space with the church after they bought it. They were putting anti-LQBTQ children’s books in the hallway where kids would walk through for lessons. The school left a long time ago.

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.

Missing human posts not allowed, that’s political!

People are feeling free to share tips and information without getting bombarded with hate speech from around the country. If you have a similar resource I highly recommend this approach.

A while ago our community Facebook page started immediately shutting off comments on anything ICE related and it’s actually an enjoyable and informative experience now.

Clarification:
this is a streamer driving a rental car. he was with status coup, he replied to this tweet. ICE are using rental cars so they wind up in citizen databases even after they’re no longer rented

The Trump regime has taken the next step in its plan to harass and intimidate journalists. Administrations have investigated leaks in the past, but have not searched reporters' homes. The warning is clear: do not tell the public what you learn or else.
