Each of the people I photographed scoffed at the idea that they were paid agitators, or led in their efforts by state or city officials. Here’s my full story about my neighbors, in their city, in their own words.
Trump Called My Neighbors “Paid Agitators.” This is Who They Really Are.
After ICE came to Minneapolis, ProPublica journalist Peter DiCampo saw his community step up to patrol the streets, drive strangers to work and provide aid to families in hiding. These are his neighbo...

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 5mo agoBREAKING: Vice President JD Vance says the Trump administration is pausing some Medicaid funding to Minnesota because of fraud concerns.
This classic Nancy is a reminder of how much swearing the strip used to feature. Newspaper owners didn't like it, but the strip was so popular they had no choice but to run it uncensored. It was a different time
Very unclear the extent to which ICE is gone from Minneapolis. On one hand, it's definitely down A LOT from the peak, which was beyond description. On the other, there are raids and vehicles reported daily in the suburbs, significantly above the pre-surge baseline as far as we can tell.
“Spending three days on the ground in Minneapolis brought home something that may not be obvious from afar: Minnesota, especially the Twin Cities, has been—and still is—under a paramilitary occupation in which the federal government is at war with the population.” www.thebulwark.com/p/what-i-saw...

NJ lawmakers introduce the FUCK ICE Act. The bill "permits civil action for violations of US Constitution related to immigration enforcement."
Among the lawyers who signed up to file habeas petitions for their fellow Minnesotans were “corporate litigators, divorce lawyers, estate planners and criminal defense attorneys who are leveraging their bar admission to mount an unprecedented defense of immigrants” against a mass caging campaign.

I owe you an apology, Amber Glenn. I wasn't really familiar with your Magic: The Gathering Game.
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
Trump's fascist goons are very much still terrorizing our community
floating in lotus position@gallantdimwit.bsky.social · 6mo agoAfter 6am this morning in Whittier, Minneapolis—FOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered. 18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.
it's grim, but the reality is that Trump wants more innocent people to die here in the Twin Cities and the GOP majorities in both chambers of Congress are either ambivalent about more lives being taken or outright support it
happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.
Nothing has changed and these masked, armed federal paramilitaries are just as aggressive and lawless as ever.
Jason Chavez@jchavezmpls.bsky.social · 6mo agoThis morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/
This is, justifiably, the angriest order I have ever read.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

ICE goons grab a man who overstayed a legal visa, no criminal record. Beat him to a pulp. Claim he did it to himself. And people wonder why Minneapolis has gotten so hostile.
WMUR@wmur9.bsky.social · 6mo ago"It was laughable, if there was something to laugh about," said one of the nurses. "There was no way this person ran headfirst into a wall."
