They made so few mistakes in Minnesota that two people were murdered, the ICE head was let go, and the agency has been sued numerous times for its crimes. Other than that? Flawless.

🚨 My friend Carlos has been detained by ICE and is slated for expedited removal. He has been instrumental in the efforts at DHH Church in Minneapolis to support vulnerable neighbors with mutual aid. His deportation is an unspeakable loss. To learn more, please visit and share: gofund.me/5a1f6199b

Minneapolis, hit me up if you know families in need of car booster seats. We collected a lot of donated boosters for transporting kids to school last winter/spring and would like them to be put to good use. All are used but not expired!

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.
Keep Minnesota Housed!
Much of the medía has left, but ICE is still in Minnesota and hundreds of families need help with rent in order to avoid eviction.
Visit keepMNhoused.com to adopt a rent or donate to rent funds!

Peacefull Observers

To Our Beloved Guardian Angels,

In these times of profound trial, when darkness sought to engulf our community, you emerged as beacons of unwavering light. When fear gripped our hearts and the very fabric of our existence trembled under the shadow of masked agents-when we were hunted, chased, and made to feel as strangers in the place we call home- you stood tall. You stood with us.

With courage that defied the chill of winter winds and compassion that warmed the coldest nights, you became our shield. You left the comfort of your daily lives, your workplaces, your routines, to stand guard at our doors. You brought us the gift of warning-the loud sirens that pierced the silence of impending danger, giving us precious moments to seek shelter, to protect our children, to preserve our dignity.

You did not merely observe; you acted. You confronted hatred face-to-face. You stood between us and the agents of fear, becoming the voice for the voiceless, the strength for the weary, and the hope for the hopeless. In your presence, we found sanctuary. In your resolve, we found resilience.

Your bravery is a testament to the boundless capacity of the human spirit. You stood against the tides of xenophobia, Islamophobia, and every form of prejudice that seeks to divide humanity.
You embodied the highest ideals of human dignity, honor, and solidarity. You reminded us-and the world-that America's true strength lies in its embrace of those who seek refuge, its promise of freedom, and its unwavering stand for justice.

Your sacrifice will echo through generations. We will tell our children, and they will tell theirs, of the guardian angels who stood tall when hate knocked at our doors. Your legacy is etched in the heart of our community-a living history of compassion without limits, courage without borders.

(Alt text continues on second picture, because Bluesky has a 2000 character limit on alt text for some reason) You are the reason hope still shines. You are the reason America remains a home for the persecuted, a land where freedom rings true. We love you. We honor you. We will never forget what you have done.

May God bless you, protect you, and keep you close. Your light will forever guide us.

With Eternal Gratitude, The Community You Saved

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

From the Art Shanties 2026, taken last Sunday. Just like Cato the Elder repeated "Cartago delenda est" at the end of every speech ("Carthage must be destroyed," Minnesotans now end our exchanges with "Fuck ICE." And we're not about to let up based on their word. And with that, Fuck ICE.

All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because: 1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it. 2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

A gut punch with today's ICE Air flight at MSP - I thought we were going to make it the whole day without a flight for the first time since January 5th, but one popped up this evening. 66 detainees boarded today - the most we've seen in the last ten days. 3,137 are represented on this graph.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
