A year ago all we heard about was the price of eggs. It’s still an issue: “The 0.7 percent jump in food prices from a month earlier was the largest one-month increase in grocery prices since October 2022. Compared with a year earlier food prices were up 3.1 percent.”

Incredible that the Lakota Sioux in their homelands, and Black Americans, Hmong, Somalians, and the descendants of Scandinavians have been making the most important stand in modern times about the ideals of the US project / American experiment.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.

I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

Friends—I need you to connect to your rapid response in your city. Your ICE watch. If you don’t have one, start one. I’m watching Minneapolis and we need to be prepared for what comes next. Know the activists in our neighborhoods. If you don’t know your rights now is the time to learn. Have a plan.

Mind-boggling stuff: ICE has detained 4 Oglala men and is apparently demanding the Lakota--a nation of the continent's original inhabitants--“enter into an immigration agreement with ICE." www.twincities.com/2026/01/13/i...

Oglala Sioux Tribe says three tribal members arrested in Minneapolis are in ICE detention

The detained tribal members are experiencing homelessness and living under a bridge in Minneapolis.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"

"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder.

Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.

What is most striking to me is recognizing the on-ramps is a tacit admission that policy is not done roughly-shod over the public. Because this is the antithesis of the current administration, many people think we can do without it. But our legitimacy depends on acknowledging it.
