The streets of Uptown Minneapolis - Hennepin Avenue. Don't let the Uptown Association scare you away.
A democrat saying “don’t do it, or else we’ll really do something!” days after the thing happened and dems have done nothing but post on social media in response to it is way past tiresome. It’s been decades of this shit.
Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley@pressley.house.gov · 4mo agoOur subpoena was clear: Pam Bondi must testify under oath about the White House cover up of the Epstein files. And she must comply or we will hold her in contempt. Survivors deserve accountability and healing — and we won't stop fighting to deliver just that.
I don't know if Netanyahu *literally* told Trump to go f*ck himself in response to Trump begging Israel to reduce its ceasefire-killing attacks on Lebanon, but surely that's the *implicit* message behind Israel continuing to pound the sh*t out of that nation. Weakest POTUS ever.
Minneapolis’ mayor does literally nothing except try to look like anyone else who looks successful. Image is the only thing. Lying is everything. Actually doing hard things? Never once in his life. 🙄
taylr@taylordahlin.com · 4mo agoblatant attempt to copy zohran mamdani’s videos about how he’s working on core public services in new york city so if that’s the gold standard, what is the city of minneapolis doing to combat neglectful landlords like 110 grant? it’s jacob frey’s donor! taylordahlin.com/f/110-grant-...
Give them my goddamn money already.
Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social · 5mo agoThis is 100% true. Pay the TSA agents.
Here's what DHS doesn't want you to know: Working for ICE is one of the safest jobs in America — and last year was the second-safest year for the agency on record. And the doxxing? It hasn't actually happened even once. The masks are justified by a lie. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/ice-s-mask...
ICE's Masks Are All a Lie
Working for ICE is actually less dangerous than being an elementary school student in America.

This is why I beg people to stop saying “ICE” for everything. Border Patrol personnel are googobs worse than any other organization, legal or criminal. And there’s SO MUCH documented evidence of their cruelty. They need to be called out. Don’t let them hide behind another org and not be exposed.
ProPublica@propublica.org · 6mo agoBREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.
You’re describing an emergency. The world is also watching you and waiting for you to do something. Are you going to establish an eviction moratorium? Rent is due today.
Governor Tim Walz@governorwalz.mn.gov · 6mo agoThey’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.
When between being pepper sprayed, punched, and pistol whipped was he supposed to calmly provide them with a copy of his concealed carry permit?
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 6mo agoChip Roy: "As someone who carries a weapon in TX, if I'm in front of law enforcement or if I get stopped, I tell them that. I tell them that I've got a concealed carry permit. I show them my ID. I tell them where the weapon is bc that's what we're supposed to do. That's not what I think I saw here"
White Americans are learning once again that the *only* thing that has ever made you safe from fascism is being willing to sacrifice non-white people. That is your contract with white supremacy. "Give us someone else so it won't be you."
He had a license to own and carry. MN is an open carry state. Lots of people here legally carry guns in plain sight. If you’re helping a woman on the ground, Border Patrol can tackle you, take your legal gun, kill you with it, and walk away, celebrated as a cool badass by 50% of the USA.
Nick Harper, he/him@nharper.bsky.social · 6mo agoOh my god. The ICEr who pulled the gun off Pretti negligently (or perhaps knowingly) fired the weapon, and that's what spooked the other ICEr to unload his clip into Pretti www.reddit.com/r/ICE_Watch/...
they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.
It’s getting so dark. This is what’s happening while you’re at a fucking hockey game, @amyklobuchar.com. Get in the goddamned game.
Bring Me The News@bringmethenews.bsky.social · 7mo agoShocking news as Columbia Heights school officials say four students have been detained by ICE, including 5- and 10-year-olds who have already been sent to Texas. https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-news/ice-detains-4-columbia-heights-students-including-5-and-10-year-olds-sent-to-texas
10 yrs ago I moved to MN and waited in a restaurant to get a table. Hostess comes back to seat next group and Amy lost her shit that they were getting seated because they’d arrived first. “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!” (No, she was new.) But it’s her still making Elon rich on X that tells you who she is.
Senator Amy Klobuchar@klobuchar.senate.gov · 7mo ago
Don’t listen to this political strategist. There are literal families who are starving, people who do not have enough for rent, businesses with eviction letters, and neighbors who are hiding. Help communities out instead and it will actually have an impact.
Simon Rosenberg@simonwdc.bsky.social · 7mo agoI've launched a campaign to raise money for the Democratic Party of Minnesota (@dfl.org) to help them combat ICE's lawless assault. MN Dem Chair Richard Carlbom joined me for the kickoff. Learn more, donate, and let's rally for the courageous people of Minnesota, together! 👇 bsky.app/profile/simo...
Hey folks of Minneapolis!! If you need a tow truck, don’t use Cedar Towing & Auction !!!! One of their tow truck drivers attempted to drive his truck through the protest of people today while proudly wearing his MAGA hat
I can't help but feel I experienced the world in microcosm on the way to the shop today. I saw a queue of cars stuck trying to enter a single lane tunnel. I thought the roadworks on the other side must have caught everyone out with the different traffic lights. Then I got closer. 1/9
You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.
I will never vote for Amy Klobuchar for any office as long as I live. Not even once
ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: https://propub.li/3MTlm33
I am once again calling on state governors to mobilize their National Guards to escort congressmembers into ICE facilities so they can DO THEIR LAWFULLY ASSIGNED FEDERAL DUTIES
Kat Abughazaleh@katmabu.bsky.social · 10mo agoFederal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/03/f...
A Charlie Kirk fan stalked these teenage girls for months, did livestreams where he harassed them, and murdered them after one of them said something critical of Charlie Kirk. This should be headline news. It’s a horrific tragedy.

These people act like Trump has incredibly high polling numbers. And that 35% of eligible voters aren’t staying home instead of voting in presidential elections. It’s just lazy. To create a party that would be popular enough to attract 35% of voters to START VOTING takes courage. And work (gasp!).
Sean Casten@seancasten.bsky.social · 11mo agoSaving America from Trump and preserving our democracy explicitly requires that people who voted for Trump change their mind. Which in turn requires that those who didn’t vote for Trump show grace and empathy to those whose change of heart came from being hurt by the guy they voted for…
“We are treated as background figures, when in reality we are holding the entire structure together.” Whewww. None of the billions the “awareness” industry collects has changed a thing in my dad’s journey. His meds are from 15+ years ago and none of us were unaware Alzheimer’s existed. 🙄

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely
Sharon 🪳🌹@sharonk.bsky.social · 11mo agokorean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in
And by loudly warning, we mean screaming until aphonic. 😡
Erin Fogg says Free Link@criminalerin.bsky.social · 11mo agoOh What a surprise Too bad everyone I know hasn't been loudly warning everyone they know about the inevitability of this exact situation for like two full years now
Every time a politician speaks on a stage, a staff member should be positioned so they can see the people on the stage. It’s so simple. Not doing the simple shit is how pics of governors talking at a dais next to a person flashing the white power sign go viral. 🙄 Idiots.
Joshua B. Hoe@joshuabhoe.bsky.social · 11mo agoFFS 1. You aren't "resisting" Trump by co-signing on his surge approach to "ending" crime 2. Pretty soon, the majority of this country is just going to accept that the answer to crime is total policing, surveillance, and police presence EVERYWHERE foxbaltimore.com/newsletter-d...
