Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

It’s shop local week in Minneapolis. Lake street council, eat street, and Columbia Heights all need your dollars. Big business doesn’t need it and doesn’t deserve it. adamoverland.substack.com/p/shop-local...

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

I don’t want ICE in my community.

I don’t want strange masked men taking my neighbors.

I don’t want strange masked men lighting fires in my city.

I want the world to see what’s happening in my community.

I want Minneapolis to be left alone and not made into a war zone.

An ‘outcome based’ action by CEOs to make Minnesota and its people whole
I’ve long been of the mind that my own soul is derived from within me, has been and continues to be written—and revised—on a daily basis, by my own hand and my own actions. Each of us is every day given an opportunity to write that soul story, which I take to mean the expansion of the feeling of whatever it is that my heart is capable of feeling.

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

Do not fall for this garbage. DHS came into my city with an offensive posture, conducted itself as an invader, often attacked residents without any plausible connection to immigration enforcement, violently seized people off the streets. Now it’s our fault people died?
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

The site of Alex Pretti's murder The writing I’ve always most identified with has been writing that originates in and is guided by the heart, writing that feels like the someone who wrote it was feeling something when they wrote it.

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

Kat Abughazaleh doesn't just influence the Overton Window; when she speaks she sits in the driver's seat of the Overton Window. She has shaped this race and shows the dedication & awareness to shape the national conversation. We're all done with the chickenshits; Kat meets the moment.
ICE does not need more training. They’re doing exactly what they’re trained to do.

Democrats cannot vote for a single cent to ICE.

Opinion | To the 60-plus Minnesota CEOs: Many thanks for your nothingburger PR statement
As thousands of Minnesotans marched in protest of ICE in subzero temps, big business leaders drafted a milquetoast PR message of nothingness, Adam Overland writes.

A dozen years ago, I posted a picture on Facebook of two city workers in safety vests using blowtorches to heat asphalt for pothole repairs on the streets of Minneapolis, streets that crack and heave in the frigid winter temperatures in a neverending battle against mother nature. This year, on Friday, Jan. 23, I gathered in downtown Minneapolis with about 40,000 others in what was claimed as the first general strike in America in 80 years.
