In a functioning society parents wouldn’t need to organize volunteer guard shifts at their kids’ immigrant-run daycare to prevent the federal government from abducting teachers and staff because they’re brown but that’s where we are now.

My first shift starts Wednesday afternoon.

Fuck ICE.

Frantically helping a friend from Ecuador find help for her uncle who was just kidnapped by ICE in Mpls.

Fuck the assholes. Seriously. FUCK these assholes.

Frank Gehry hot take:

The understated backside of the Weisman is much more interesting architecturally than the shiny front side.

Today is Amber Deneen’s birthday

She should be turning 31 today. Do not forget her. My heart breaks for her life ended too soon. For her husband as he goes through life after witnessing this horrific tragedy. And for her family and friends who lost a loved one.
A pedestrian was killed in a hit and run in my neighborhood today by someone in a black SUV flying down St. Anthony Avenue near the Aldine pedestrian bridge.

Neighbors have been pleading with the city for *years* to do something about people speeding and blowing stop signs on St Anthony.

I know it's too easy to grow numb to the constant flood of bigotry that comes out of his mouth but it does seem morally important you don't allow yourself or anyone else to become desensitized to this vile racism as a normal part of our politics

Extended fam in Hibbing asked about St Paul ICE raids at dinner yesterday. So we told them about @katiestp.bsky.social arrest at Bro-Tex.

2 takeaways:

1) Thankful to have supportive family
2) A *lot* more people in small places are aware of & repulsed by ICE than we probably give them credit for

The SPPD chief should lose his job over this.
From the MN Society for Professional Journalists: St. Paul police shot three photojournalists (MPR, Reuters, Sahan Journal) with "less lethal" munitions during an ICE operation yesterday. One had to go to the hospital. They say they were specifically targeted by St. Paul police.

You can split hairs all you want @melvincarter.bsky.social but in the eyes of a great many of your now enraged constituents, if your SPPD is tear-gassing and arresting people like those in the left photo instead of arresting and de-escalating the guy in the right, you ARE in fact “assisting ICE”.

If I pointed a loaded assault rifle at someone in the street with the obvious intent of intimidating them, I would be arrested and charged with assault (or worse).

Please, talk to my wife. Let her tell you what it’s like to be ziptied and hauled away to the basement of a federal bldg.

Have even half the courage she does.
Your constituents are begging you to take a public stand against this. I was literally kidnapped off the streets for doing nothing but filming their criminal behavior. DO SOMETHING.

Whatever relative goodwill the SPPD had banked up was absolutely torched today by their actions on the East Side.

Truly shameful.

@melvincarter.bsky.social @mayorher.bsky.social I genuinely hope you understand how enraged and disgusted the people of our city are right now.

Couldn’t afford to get arrested by ICE again today - someone has to pick up the kids when the husband is out of town. Standing in solidarity with neighbors who stand up against unjust laws. This is wrong @mayorher.bsky.social @mayorcarter.bsky.social @governorwalz.mn.gov

Reminder that at his 2016 Sun Country Airlines rally, Trump went on and on and on about Minnesota’s “Somali problem” to the delight of the large crowd which included suburban hockey moms literally hi-fiving guys with unambiguous Nazi tattoos.

This has been a target of his for a long time.

A witness told his brother and attorneys that the 44-year-old Mexican immigrant, who doesn't have lawful immigration status, was taken into custody by immigration authorities on Oct. 7 in south-central Los Angeles. DHS said it has no record of him.
