There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.
If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.
It’s trials w real punishments.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

With our mayor getting reelected, and showing he thinks MPD working with ICE is just fine, I’m concerned for the safety and livelihood of many of our Latine small business owners and their families. Please consider visiting these locations around the metro!

I know some folks were asking for something like this (@meshm.bsky.social iirc) So I made a quick dot density map of the first choice Minneapolis mayoral results. This allows you to see two things that choropleth maps can't show... umn.maps.arcgis.com/apps/mapview...

By my admittedly rushed math, it seems like Fateh needs about 71% of the Davis/Jazz vote to break his way. Seems tough, but not impossible

Minneapolis election results just got dumped in. With 99% reporting, Frey has 41% of the vote. Without a majority, we go to round two.

But also if you could please send Minneapolis good vibes while we maybe collectively lose our minds for 48ish hours of ranked choice voting…that would be great.

I hope @dewayneforminneapolis.com doesn't mind me retelling a story he told me when we first met last winter. I kept it to myself because he wasn’t telling it publicly but he mentioned it yesterday. It’s one of the things that’s leading me to rank him first. A hope-its-ok-and-I-get-right 🧵:
Yesterday, I hosted an incredible event, "Ward 8 for a New Mayor." We talked about why we need a new mayor and then @jazzformayor.bsky.social , @omarfatehmn.com , and @dewayneforminneapolis.com laid out why they should be our next mayor. I came away excited about all of them and will rank all three!
