@CheyCab We also have 2… very sturdy, comfortable… not a ton of space for fishing. Using a small electric air pump, plugged into a car works well for inflation

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

We need to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump.

Threatening war crimes is a blatant violation of our constitution and the Geneva Conventions.

Homan in Minnesota: "I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude. A significant drawdown has already been underway this week and will continue."

I need to sound the alarm on the economic impacts of ice operations on our region.

Also to the ice agents pulling fire alarms at apartment buildings to lure people outside? And following and boxing in school buses? That’s little d energy.

Protesters took to the frozen lakes in Minneapolis Friday to broadcast a message of distress to the world, spelling out "SOS."

The demonstration occurred as thousands marched through downtown Minneapolis in opposition to the ongoing surge in federal immigration enforcement forces.

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

Yesterday as I was walking through Minneapolis with a friend I saw this Lexus parked terribly and commented to him: “get a load of this asshole’s terrible parking.” By complete serendipity, as if the universe itself was saying "be kinder with your spoken thoughts," right at that moment I heard a voice say “hey that’s my car, ICE grabbed me, I’m so sorry!” come from the passenger of a Jeep slowly passing by; the Jeep driver said she was the sister of the Lexus’ owner and that the two of them had just come back from picking her up from Federal detention. I went to go talk to the Lexus’ driver, but first I read the note on the windshield:

“THIS WOMAN WAS TAKEN BY ICE. Please don’t hit or tow.” Neighbors put that there, and put a tarp over the window that ICE broke open so snow wouldn’t get in.

The Lexus driver, a short, brown haired white woman told me she lived in the area and was driving through looking for parking, when armed ICE agents speedily blocked off the street in front of her, and swarmed the white pickup truck in front of her grabbing its driver. She said people came from throughout the neighborhood with whistles to record them grabbing that driver, and as she was trying to leave, ICE agents swarmed her vehicle as well and proceeded to open her window and door and remove her from her car, slamming her facedown in the street. She said a Federal agent entered her vehicle and parked it like this, before taking her away. I don’t know the story of the pickup driver.

I'll be honest, I didn't really believe what I was hearing at first until she showed me the video that a neighbor filmed, confirming the whole story. I asked her to airdrop it to me so I could make this post.

This woman was just driving and minding her business one moment, and the next she was snatched, she told me that they said she was "obstructing an investigation." After 24 hours in Federal custody, they released her with only the white shirt she was wearing when I met her, into the -8F cold where her sister was waiting, and they didn't give her back her car keys. She came to make sure her vehicle was still there.

There's a lot of people on this platform making all sorts of excuses for the Federal government's despicable behavior in Minneapolis, but what it comes down to is this: they are out of control. They are Out. Of. Control.

This woman's story that I saw firsthand is emblematic of the institutional rot at the core of DHS, CBP, and ICE. The agents involved in both shootings this month were 8- and 10-year veterans, not untrained amateurs. There have been three homicides in Minneapolis thus far in 2026- 66% of them have been US citizens murdered by the Federal government. My city is being subjected to a full-fledged occupation by lawless, unprofessional, un-American thugs. They have gone far beyond their stated mission of removing violent criminals and illegal aliens. They have all of us looking at every SUV, every vehicle with out-of-state plates, every vehicle with more than 2 men in it with caution, scrutiny, and concern. Many of my friends have bought guns or have gone to get their conceal carry permits, to stay safe from their own government because it's better to be judged by twelve than to be carried by six.

Minneapolis will survive this and will come out stronger for it, because we learned in 2020 that there's no one coming to save us, it's up to us to show up for our friends and neighbors. But people need to know that if the Federal government are doing this to us: You're not safe. You're next.

[Jason DeRusha @DeRushaJ]

There’s no more compromise, no get in a room and work it out. The surge of ICE and this “Operation” has to stop in Minneapolis and Minnesota.

You don’t have to keep twisting yourself into a pretzel defending the indefensible.

[Lou Raguse @LouNewsMan]

(warning graphic content) This video shows Alex Pretti was disarmed right in front of the Border Patrol agent who then shot him 10 times — again — after Pretti’s gun was removed from the back of his pants.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

This Minneapolis resident just said what everyone should be feeling right now:

“This started as a pretext about immigration and fraud… it’s WELL beyond that now.

It’s your 2nd Amendment, your 4th Amendment, your 6th Amendment.”

“We’re performing CPR on what may already be a corpse called the Constitution.”

Wake up. This isn’t just Minneapolis. It’s ALL of us.

This is who our government is calling a “monster” and a “domestic terrorist.”

BREAKING: Boston emergency rally in response to latest ICE killing in MN. Protestors chant, "We're not cold, we're not afraid! [Minneapolis] taught us to be brave!"

[Ted Haller @TedHallerLegal]

Want to know what’s going on in Minneapolis?

Follow the local journalists, who’ve been calmly, factually, and bravely covering what’s been going on—while leaning into nuance and investigation.

The disconnect between the national and local discourse is stark.

BREAKING: Over 100 priests arrested in Minneapolis for protesting ICE in Minnesota where today it's -21 degrees outside MSP Airport.

The clergy gathered in prayerful solidarity to demand airlines — especially @Delta and Signature Aviation — cease contracting deportation flights to DHS.

So far, over 2,000 deportations have gone through MSP, per organizers.
