please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.

people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.
The intense fallout from the killing of Alex Pretti has forced President Trump to publicly change course in Minneapolis.

Listen to our White House reporters discuss the changes on today's episode of "The Daily."
Trump Changes Course in Minneapolis
The White House has been met with broad outcry over the killing of Alex Pretti, as well as pushback from Congress.

What’s the saying…”every accusation is a confession”?
Trump continues to lie and incite violence against Rep. Ilhan Omar: "I think she's a fraud ... she probably had herself sprayed, knowing her."

Probably gets more death threats than anyone in congress, yet when some jagoff comes at her, she steps to him, then finishes her speech. The others would have crumbled.

"We should make some more rules" as a response to "these psychos constantly ignore all the rules" is the kind of stupid idea that I personally would be embarassed to suggest in public

this morning in the Mpls suburbs: "There were 5 Ice vehicles staged around this neighborhood and the elementary school, they seem to be watching to bus stops during school kid pick up and drop off. I believe they are trying spook kids/parents so vulnerable parents would expose themselves"

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

Imagine being a congressman from Minnesota and caring so little about what’s happening here that you just copy and paste talking points.

If you’re not writing your own statements and you’re not holding town halls, what exactly are we paying you for?

If you want It to finally happen, this would 100% do it.
Some thoughts:

1. The deadline for nominating a person or group for the Nobel Peace Prize is Feb. 1.

2. History professors are qualified nominators.

3. The people of Minnesota have been awe-inspiringly peaceful in the face of state violence.

4. He would be so mad.

Fantastic stuff from @jimsouhan.bsky.social Next go ask Tom Pohlad what he meant when he said he “doesn’t want to take a side” www.startribune.com/jim-souhan-m...

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding.

Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

Didn’t think my opinion of the Pohlads could get any lower but WHOA WHATS THIS A WHOLE NEW UNDERGROUND CAVERN. @twinsbaseball.bsky.social I’m done.

What a relief that they’re calling for a general de-escalation of tensions, since it’s hard to tell who’s at fault, the people murdering people or the people who aren’t doing the murdering.
