Nice to see Minneapolis actually enforcing laws. I can't tell you the number of times we had ICE vehicles illegally parked in our neighborhood blocking intersections or fire hydrants or school fire zones.
Tomorrow is the first national loon day!

Hey Minnesota! Do you know there is a bill that would fix a lot of issues with HOAs? You can help pass this important legislation. Quick email your rep and help tc habitat get this passed! Nobody should lose their house for leaving out a garbage can too long #HOA #SF1750 #Minnesota
Just watched this. It was brutal. The amount of very bad things Trump has done in the first 14 months is overwhelming. That and the fact such cruel stupid people run our country.
Yes please start using these. In Minneapolis it would make our job so much easier. Legit law enforcement uses marked vehicles the vast majority of the time.
My 5 year old daughter wants to play Science is Real on repeat lately. She also said she wants to be a physicist for her star of the week poster. So despite all the terrible news in my state and profession I have hope for the next generation. #StandUpForScience #physics #Hope
Fellow UMN grad!
Just heard that Ramsey County is refusing to offer Jake Lang any deal on his felony property destruction charges. 1-5 years.
Got another mutual aid ask to share. The goal is $1,300 for a Northsider who was fitted with an ankle monitor despite her pending asylum case.
Let's help give her some amount of comfort during this otherwise terrible time.

What on Earth! This senator needs to be charged with assault. Protesting isn't punishable by a broken arm.
This map shows all the incidents involving ICE and DHS that happened in North Minneapolis through February 17th. The red hexagon indicates each time ICE detained arrested someone, the blue square indicates each time ICE attempted detainments or arrests, the gray circle indicates each time ICE was observed in an area, and the icon of people indicates areas where ICE was seen gathering or staging.οΏΌ
North Minneapolis was the only part of the city where those involved in observing and documenting ICE had little to no support from our elected city Council Members throughout the worst times of the occupation.
MPD tally of the ICE surge (which appears far from comprehensive):
-2 fatal shootings
-1 non-fatal shooting
-7 abandoned vehicles (3 federal)
-2 assaults
-7 chemical attacks
-12 vehicle collisions, fed vs civilian
www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0.... Another Minnesotan killed by the absolute incompetence of the Trump administration. Her kids will never see their mom again. Soldiers shouldn't die for pointless wars #ImpeachTrump #Minnesota
What is wrong with Republicans! Regular citizen out here trying to raise 20k so 54 families in our neighborhood don't get evicted. Meanwhile Republicans voted down everything to help Minneapolis including rent moratorium and this is the shit they do instead. #AbolishICE #ImpeachTrump #Minnesota
It is national Minnesota day! Our state isn't perfect but the last few months have made me very proud to be a lifelong Minnesotan! #AbolishICE #Minnesota www.tiktok.com/@kristeninmn...
Nice reminder the federal government hates my profession in addition to hating my state.
Our local digital alt-weekly @racketmn.com has done such a good job rounding up ICE news every day. This is also a really nice story about what things have looked like on the cultural front.

A federal judge in Minnesota has scheduled a contempt hearing for next week for federal officials for not complying with the judge's orders to return property to unlawfully detained immigrants, including cash, jewelry and docs. More than two dozen petitioners who filed habeas petitions are listed.
ICE is terrorizing children. I can't tell you how many cars of masked armed men I have chased away from the bus stops in our neighborhood. Abolish ICE. No reforms can fix the level of cruelty and lawlessness.
This isn't about fraud. This is about punishing us for resisting all their illegal cruel actions. Unfortunately the result will be vulnerable people losing access to health care. #Impeach #AbolishICE #Minnesota
This is why we need rent and food support. Trump has wrecked our economy along with kidnapping our neighbors.
North Minneapolis still needs rent support! At just Cityview we need $15k to support many families that are just starting to return to work. #RentSupport #StandWithMinnesota #Minneapolis #AbolishICE venmo.com/u/NorthMplsMA
This morning a group of neighbors sang for our neighbors at Cityview. ICE kidnapped 4 neighbors there and multiple times pointed guns at us as we protected them over the last few months. #SingingResistance #Minneapolis #AbolishICE #Minnesota
Come see my orchestra perform this inspiring concert at Orchestra hall on April 12th! The music is a beautiful expression of what actual democracy requires with orchestra and multiple choirs. It is also being recorded for NPR and probably PBS. #Minnesota #Democracy #msomn #Resist
This makes me so angry! We had an entire fleet drones over our house again tonight like most nights. How much of my tax money is wasted on collecting spy data on me and my neighbors. What are they doing with this data? #drones #AbolishICE #Minnesota #Minneapolis
Passing along from a lawyer friend. Especially of interest for academics doing research the current administration frowns on.

Minnesota women are superheroes! I can't tell you how many women have just seen a problem and did their best to solve it. Of course men have helped too but women make up a huge part of the organizers of the resistance.
Testifying in support of SF 1750. Hoping the state reforms HOAs and finally provides a path for dissolving our HOA that does nothing yet still managed to foreclose on 10 black homeowners during the pandemic over things as stupid as garbage can fines. #ReformHOAs #HOAnightmare #HeritageParkMaster
There are so many famous male physicists in the files... maybe connected to physics and engineering having the lowest percentage of women in STEM?
