Why do we need so many detention centers for supposed “illegal” immigrants if the goal is deportation? What are we doing?

It's day 80 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

Many of our neighbors have been in hiding for 11 weeks. We have 9 days to raise March 1 rent for those families.

Please dig in and give as you can - many rent relief fund are in desperate need of $$

James Leggett went to jail after hitting his wife, Michaela Carter, with a liquor bottle.

Ten days after his release, he shot and killed her.

Tennessee’s weak oversight of gun laws allowed him to get a weapon.

How Tennessee’s Justice System Allows Dangerous People to Keep Guns — With Deadly Outcomes
Michaela Carter was one of at least 75 people killed in domestic violence shootings in Nashville since 2007. Nearly 40% were shot by people who were legally barred from having a gun.

Benjamin Ryan openly admits that his reporting on trans issues is animated by personal bias against someone who was mean to him online. Ben is not capable of reporting on this issue objectively, and yet the New York Times and other outlets repeatedly let him do just that.

The Corcoran neighborhood has been one of the most affected by ICE activity here in Minneapolis. This would be a very good place to put any money you’re thinking of donating

An update on Minnesota:

ICE is still here. They've just moved to the suburbs where they're less likely to be noticed while they continue to commit abhorrent kidnappings.

We are adapting our patrols to continue trying to keep our neighbors safe.
Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help.

“A bunch of agents jump out and tackle him, essentially restraining him, and take him away...His six kids are now without their father." www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
ICE drawdown? Indications point to steady enforcement activity outside the Twin Cities
Some people who observe ICE activity are skeptical about a large scale drawdown of agents in the state. There are indications that activity has decreased in the Twin Cities, but has continued outside ...

Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.
As the pedophile führer's ICE Nazis are ordered to release people they've kidnapped, they do it in the dead of night to make sure it's as cruel and brutal as possible. Fortunately, compassionate Patriots are there to meet them and make sure they're ok and driven to their homes.

Hey, everyone. North Minneapolis schools need your help. They've each raised tens of thousands for their families in January, and have to do it all over again now. This one school still needs thirty thousand dollars to keep families housed and fed. Can you help?
Olson Middle School in north Minneapolis needs help raising money for its families. This is a community that doesn’t get as much attention but needs are extremely high right now. I gave $100–who wants to match me?

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state
Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation, claims that evidence suggests a correlation between undergoing Trans Medical Care and acts of violence.

He states Heritage's public policy solution is to ban it for all ages and they're willing to work towards this goal on an incremental basis.

Since we’ve been highlighting some specific rent funds, I wanted to champion this one for North Side Mutual Aid who are organizing to pay rents for north Minneapolis residents who are impacted by the ICE occupation.

Can we chip in here and share this around again? 🌻🌻🌻
