This is Minneapolis:

Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.

Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

Positive thought to end the day:

The amount of organizing & mutual aid happening in Minneapolis right now is NEXT LEVEL.

We will protect our neighbors & get through this as best we can.

We are so much stronger together. And we are SO together right now.

I ❤️ you, MPLS.

I lifted work from excellent photojournalists to make this video, but it felt really urgent to get the message out and it will take me quite some time to do a credited version. Apologies.

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school
“The move came after officials at Roosevelt High School said armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.” — www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

This is a horrific moment and I want to talk about this picture to highlight the contrasts here: paramilitary government employee and large scale tyrannosaurus. Having lived in Minneapolis for a short time I can tell you that it is a big city but with small town community connections.

Prison guards:

- Watched a woman experiencing psychosis gouge out her own eyeballs.

- Ignored a man’s beeping insulin pump for more than 24 hours before he died.

- Left a man sitting in his own feces not eating for weeks, he lost 60 lbs before he died.

All in San Diego County, last ~5 years.
Now if we could just get people to view US prisons through the same lens they view CECOT.

Between White House stories like this and on-the-street coverage of ICE atrocities the Independent is going about 10 times harder than most big domestic newsrooms. Why is that?

That’s literally a Lolita quote.

They wrote pedophile quotes from the pedophile book on the girls they were trafficking. The Epstein clique made their pedophilia into *memes.*

The pedophilic corporate elite hates you, and they have spent billions to empower a fellow predator to make you suffer.

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.”

I’m raising money for Groveland Emergency Food Shelf, a South Minneapolis nonprofit that provides emergency groceries for those in need. They’re currently struggling to keep up with demand, and they’re getting their first $16k in donations matched.

I’ve got $50 on it! Can anyone match me?

look I'm not myself a political scientist so I can't say what effects it would have for a spate of politicians to crop up saying "the enemy is the oligarchy" and "the enemy is billionaires" while swinging a kettlebell but I think we should try it for science and see what happens
My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.

I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

Honestly it should be front page news that the most recent Democratic candidate for president thinks the entire system is broken to the point she won’t go back into public service.

Sentiments like these are eugenics and should have no place at government health agencies, whose mission is to protect the health of all people regardless of anyone’s circumstances.
