My email to Richfield Officials and Mayor Supple’s response. It seems the Mayor’s response is that RPD does not work with ICE unless they do. No answer on why RPD cops are telling Richfield residents about this “3 block rule.”

ICE agents abducted a father in front of the Richfield Best Buy building and just left his kids in the minivan. Richfield cops took them inside a nearby restaurant to wait for the kid’s family to pick them up. Not entirely sure if RPD was working with ICE or not but a shit situation either way.

Weird to post this after feds and local cops brutalized community members in St. Paul today.

If this isn’t stopped soon, America will have a heavily armed paramilitary force that feels that it only has to answer to one man.

The agency must be disbanded.

More people should own guns.

I’m out here at the St. Paul Capitol for a rally against the use of military force against American residents. Should be a good time.

Kristi Noem is coming to Minnesota. Recent history tells us that the Twin Cities is next in line for loyalist federal paramilitary forces to deploy in greater numbers in order to harass and kidnap the state’s residents.

America’s bigotry continues to kill people.

2025 is the deadliest year to be in ICE custody in decades

This is just part of one section at the No Kings protest in Minneapolis.

I’m exhausted.

My work is cited in Yung Gravy’s Wikipedia about him being sued by Rick Astley. This is very funny to me.

Interesting contrast here if you click the picture.

Decent sized crowd at the Labor Day rally at the MSP airport today.

So I’ve covered child sexual assaults and CSAM cases for awhile now and I’ve never seen what’s in this paragraph from a complaint filed today in Hennepin County. I knew it was a thing but I’ve never seen it spelled out this way in a charging document. Case # 27-cv-25-21067

Fucking wild ass paragraph here.

Final picture of the night. Stay safe y’all.

Protest is stopped outside of Target headquarters on Nicollet.

I don’t man. Seems like people are upset.

A sampling of the signs I’ve seen here today. March is supposed to start at 7, I believe.

Here’s a better picture showing the crowd size. The Hennepin County Government Center has their patio blocked off so it’s hard to get a picture from higher up that isn’t blocked by something.

I’m out here for the Good Trouble protest in Minneapolis right now. Organizers said there are nationwide protests against the Trump administration going on today. Anyone one have any pictures to share from others around the country?
