I think it's only loathing Frey first that primes folks to hate this. If you don't have the negative sentiment there as a precursor, this is just a white guy who's secure and unpretentious enough to look goofy and have fun in public, in celebration with community members.

If you hate Frey, you hate this. But a LOT of people see this kinda shit and think, "love this guy!" We are absolutely not gonna win if we can't imagine that mindset.

An organizer from one of the largest food distros during OMS was recently stopped and arrested for an alleged busted tail light and is facing deportation. I’m so sad and furious. The organizer of this fundraiser is a friend of mine. Help if you can, babes. gofund.me/4962797c4

It is the scale & geography that have changed, not the nature of the project.

We're talking about an intentional policy crafted explicitly to deter people through cruelty - just not one that happened to take place on the streets of a white, liberal metro like the twin cities, so the impact was distributed quite differently until recently.

Obama & Clinton before him, along with nearly all democrats in congress for decades, have been eager participants in the bipartisan project of drastically restricting legal avenues for immigration while militarizing the US/Mexico border, resulting in 1000s of deaths & 1000s more lives destroyed.

The last best president for undocumented people was Reagan for his amnesty, and there's no contest.

Is there anything more cynical than Barack Obama, Deporter-in-Chief and architect of family separation, thanking Minnesotans for standing up to the machine he helped build? Honestly shame on anyone who heard that and felt good.

I once saw them in the distance across the Cub parking lot.. To be real, i hear they exist and believe they may have done some things. I also think it's weird that I live in a neighborhood where I see people in crisis on a daily basis, and have never once seen the BCR responding.

When you say "it's not about immigration," you are stripping the violence of borders out of the conversation, and that's a mistake. We are experiencing the endgame of late capitalism amid climate collapse. Everything's about determining who will have access to resources and the means of survival.

But people see the result of the latter, and attribute it all to the former, and feel shock & out rage that the group they misunderstood to begin with continues to do what they do.

In fact, what played out during metro surge underscores the political nature of the org. They did tons of training, built consciousness & laid essential groundwork. And then they essentially hit a wall, and more grassroots, radical, horizontalist forces came into play.

I hate to be like this, but Monarca is not some scrappy leftist collective. They're Unidos, a 19 y/o nonprofit that's had wandering missions and allegiances over the yrs. Monarca did vital, powerful work training observers and coordinating community response to ICE. They're also run by center libs.

Yep, & this is a group with a political trajectory which, if you bother to know about it, maps perfectly onto this decision. So any sense of betrayal seems like it isn't coming from authentic knowledge/curiosity, but instead from projecting politics onto a group you haven't bothered to understand.

luce @luceluceluce.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Klobuchar sucks and deserves no one's support. AND...the "betrayal" language begs some questions about who thinks they're owed something, and by whom?

Yes! It's not unrelated that the neighborhoods in mpls that recorded the fastest response time to ICE activity during the surge are the neighborhoods at the center of the annual mayday celebration. There is actual community here, imperfect but holistic.

It was an incredible honor to represent tens of thousands of rapid responders across Minnesota who have spent the last 118 days standing up for our neighbors. Here’s my speech from yesterday at No Kings St. Paul. 1/

Please donate to keep Phillips neighbors housed! It looks like we've raised a lot - and we have! But most of that was spent covering February rent for over 320 families, and now, those same families and others need rent again for March. www.gofundme.com/f/support-ph...

ACLU MN reported yesterday that the federal government filed sworn statements that there are 970 agents in Minnesota for Operation Metro Surge & that 407 agents will remain here in March. It’s important to note this is on top of the 190 agents that were already assigned before this surge started.

We’ve paid rent for over 270 households so far in February and we currently have a waitlist that totals over $30,000. We distributed rents one by one. We can’t even think about March rent yet. You can help us here: gofund.me/5d4d1a571

Dear neighbor, This morning, ICE surrounded a construction site with Latino workers in this dangerously cold weather. One worker had to leave in an ambulance because they were forced to stay on the roof of the construction site as ICE attempted to kidnap them. 1/

I'm sure pepper spray is also bad, but you're linking to a study about tear gas, a fundamentally different and more toxic substance.

Maybe another way to look at it is, Ward 9 MADE the assignment? And that's part of the issue - Ward 9 is the center of Left politics in Mpls, and maybe a strategy that makes sense in this bubble isn't a strategy that makes sense for the whole city?
