and mark would know what's weird and what's not at whipple
Taking a closer look and these trucks appear full so somewhere between 20-40 troops staged here right now. Looks their leadership is talking with a DHS agent but it might be HCSO. I cannot repeat enough how fucking weird this is.

Absolutely. It looks just as busy as any other day with masked agents driving in and out of their little base. Just more NG.
February 13, 2026 at 4:16 PM
all the media being stenographers for the feds and just repeating the drawdown nonsense should go to the whipple building today so they can see the same amount of masked men leaving in convoys of vehicles, and whatever this is too, and report accurately what’s happening on the ground in minnesota
So this is weird. The National Guard is staging at the Whipple building this morning. This is what you do when preparing for a mission.

too many liberals on here who think criticizing democrats from a further left position means you are just helping republicans. as if these democrats are above reproach and we should support them unconditionally and not want them to move left as republicans keep shifting the overton window rightward

Since I moved into Loring Heights in 2021, I have been amazed by the inclusion, diversity, creativity and humility of our neighbors. Right now we need your help — so for the love of Loring please chip in what you can. Thank you 🫶

Loring and Steven’s Square neighbors need your help. The federal attack on our city has left our diverse and majority-renter neighborhood in dire straights. Immigrant residents can’t pay the rent. Somali restaurants can’t pay their employees. But our community is resilient.

anders folk has united strategies hired for his campaign and sam schulenberg, jacob frey’s 2025 campaign manager, is working the folk campaign for united. i wrote about the conservative DFL / republican alliance last year and am very surprised they’re doing it again

Seven children from this MN school district have been detained by ICE. 2 of them are still in ICE custody in TX. The district has lost track of how many parents have been taken. At just one elementary 26 parents have been detained by ICE

rep katie jones lists policies they want to pass with a DFL house majority like banning masks for law enforcement, making it possible to sue agents for violations. talks about program partnering her safe district with uncertain district that needs doorknocking. she just wants hers on a transit line
February 13, 2026 at 2:19 AM
rep zack stephenson is confident in a DFL house majority this year. “when you look around the state and you see the energy and activism ordinary people are feeling responding to this federal attack… you’re mistaken if you think all those folks are just going back to normal life when ICE leaves.”

After yesterday’s crash in Saint Paul, it’s imperative we keep our roads safe for our neighbors. Write to Minneapolis
leaders and let them know that we demand temporary traffic calming to protect us from these federal goons.

Tell Minneapolis: SLOW DOWN ICE on our streets!
Join us in telling the City to implement official anti-ICE traffic calming, or support grassroots filter blockades so they can operate safely!

still looking for those photos of amy klobuchar on the streets standing up to ICE like we saw from jason chavez and elliott payne and doron clark, to name just a handful of electeds who are out here protecting people
Minnesotans stood together, stared down ICE, and never blinked.
