Minneapolis residents are trying a new tactic to slow and deter federal agents from entering city neighborhoods. Called filter blockades, they’re pop-up block parties in the middle of city streets, and they’ve already earned the ire of Trump border czar Tom Homan (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

It’s pretty crazy that the president and his family are just stealing billions and billions of dollars directly from taxpayers and the political media is like “It’s Trump so this isn’t a big deal, probably”
“Four of [Don Jr]’s portfolio companies have won contracts from the Trump [regime] this year amounting to $735 MILLION… It looks like more Trump enrichment. When the public and the private are as intertwined as they are in this [regime] it’s hard to tell the difference.”

THIS. They’re in the South Metro now, hitting Carver County & Minneapolis suburbs HARD.
NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
They’re detaining observers because ICE & CBP believe the real problem is people filming them, not that ICE & CBP is committing domestic terror.
Less footage = less national news coverage.

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

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

This happened only hours before his racist post. Not a coincidence. A Black man had the temerity to ask trump to not be a terrible person.
wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

His enemies spend a lot of time attacking that Mamdani’s a “social democrat.”
What makes him special, I think, is that he’s an authentically moral person with empathy.
That’s sadly rare in politics these days.

Also: 2,300 ICE agents is still almost exactly the number of local police officers from the ten largest police forces in Minnesota COMBINED. As such, can report there's been no change on the ground today in my community.
This Homan presser is completely incoherent. He started by announcing a drawdown of 700 agents (good!) but then pivoted to whining about "rhetoric" (bad) and suggested there will be more bloodshed if it doesn't stop (grim). Not clear to me that anything is actually changing on the ground here in MN.
