This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

My sense of Minnesota today is that there’s less tear gas and the same amount of unlawful detention, destruction of families, loss of livelihood, people in hiding.

There is less tear gas at places like Lake and Lyndale, so it’s not making news.

I noticed that after the shoddy Emily Bazelon NYT magazine piece a few years ago, the AAP released a report to counter some of the misinformation in it:

A strange and confusing tale from the bowels of (where else) the New York Times.

Has the American Medical Association changed position on trans youth care? A New York Times headline says they "endorsed restrictions" on youth surgeries. Other outlets, including NPR, report they did no such thing.
Did the AMA Release a Statement Cooling Support for Trans Youth Surgeries? — Assigned
Leading Off: The New York Times and NPR release contradictory American Medical Association statements, and California AG Rob Bonta sues a children’s hospital for ending gender affirming care.

WE NEED YOUR HELP❗️It’s February 10, 2026, & rent is past due. I’m working with 7 different families who have been impacted by ICE & are now struggling to pay rent. I’m hoping to raise $6,082 to help pay the month of February rent for all of them.

How strong is my impulse to not tell on my neighbors is, as we descend deeper into a fascist police state? I just passed a guy eating a snack cake in a grocery store aisle. I just kept walking, didn't alert authorities, didn't negotiate with Tom Homan at all.

it is a drop in the bucket, but all of this is. everyone is just doing what they can.

An 18 year old was taken today in the Hennepin County Government Center.

Any leader thinking collaborating with ICE will be good and help end this surge is forgetting that no one in our community is expendable.

Of course, his was a literal staged performance. Skyway comrade’s “fuck you” was righteous rage & frustration that speaks volumes about what matters to that person. Don’t let anyone tell u that ur responses are nothing if they don’t produce material change: they are expressions of what matters 2 u

Frey’s “is that helpful”is a shaming, paternalistic response that dismisses & belittles people’s experiences & feelings, implying that responding to something is useless if it’s “not helpful” as in, produce material change. When he said “get the fuck out” on stage, we could’ve asked the same…

Jacob Frey is a slimy little twerp.

No regard for others. No capacity for humility. No imagination.

Happy to be a tool dressed up for the monied class.
In the Skyway 20 minutes after an ice abduction, mayor Frey walks through the government center. A lady yells at him "what are you doing to stop this? Fuck you." He responds, "is that helpful?" With a smirk on his face.

Ironic, since Frey shouted “fuck” and got a bunch of national media interviews, but has done fuck-all since.

If you have, listen again.
