A woman is dead after an encounter with ICE agents in Minneapolis, and the rush to justify it tells us everything about where this country is headed — toward provocation, federalized force, and invest

Veering off for a minute. But it does all remind me of our story. Tonight I was reminded of the minute I knew Jake and I needed to move to Minneapolis from rural MN. June 2020. The murder of George Floyd happened. And there was a huge disconnect amongst what people were saying on the internet. Conflicting words. And I had big feelings. I felt drawn. I packed up our four middle children and drove to George Floyd Square, six hours south of the Canadian border where we lived. I wanted to see for myself. There were thousands of people gathered. It felt so safe. Healing. Important. …and I saw so much collective grief, people helping people, sadness, dancing, sharing… I felt like I found my people. I belonged here. My family needed to be here. I called Jake from the square. “We are moving to the Twin Cities.”He agreed, found a job, and we made an offer on the house in August. Here by the first day of school in Sept. We found the multicultural and diverse living we so desired. Communities reflective of our family. We love it here. Tonight I gathered with thousands again. It was all the same feelings. People reached for my hands as I climbed snow and avoided slipping. This is Minneapolis. The attacks on Minneapolis right now are so cruel. I will use this platform to stand firmly against it all.

Witnesses say a doctor was at the scene and tried to help the woman who had been shot by ICE agents, but ICE agents refused to let him through. Around 10-15 minutes later, an ambulance arrived, but was blocked by ICE vehicles occupying the street. January 7th, 2026 Minneapolis, MinnesotaView all 1,401 comments

A song about dictators. (Some context if you’d like: The metaphorical mouse of this one is supposed to simultaneously refer to Maduro, a dictator whose reign was long overdue, and Trump, who ironically, by defying international law and conducting operations without the approval of congress, engaged in very similar defiance of checks and balances as Maduro. Maduro consolidated power by weakening the opposition-controlled Venezuelan National Assembly and setting a precedent of Authoritarian rule. By ignoring congress’ constitutional powers to declare war, Trump too has weakened the legislative with a precedent of authoritarian rule and a vague commitment to “run” Venezuela. #venezuela #originalsong #guitar

George Carlin said it way back then and nothing has changed.
