Reminder for the first annual #LoonDay
For those who wanted more info, I'm just noting what people tell me every day. But I've noticed two kind of mantras in Minneapolis. One is "We keep us safe." The other is, "No one is coming to save us."
You, an esteemed protest-song scholar: “Billy Bragg’s is the best one so far. He doesn’t mention Minneapolis by name, so it is universal.”
Me, a provincial rube: “You mean, Saint Paul?”
A screenshot of an article from https://www.newsweek.com/ice-agent-fatally-shot-us-citizen-texas-dhs-records-11544225 reading: Federal agents shot and killed a U.S. citizen in Texas last year, but initial reports did not reveal their involvement, with the details now coming to light through internal U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) records. Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, was shot by an ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officer in South Padre Island, Texas, on March 15, 2025, after what ICE described as a failure to follow law enforcement instructions during a traffic incident as agents worked with local police on immigration enforcement.
We only know what happened to Renee Good and Alex Pretti because rapid response organizers were there to record it.
We don't know how many people they have murdered, but information about more killings keeps coming to light.
And who knows what happens in the camps.

Keep Minnesota Housed! Much of the medía has left, but ICE is still in Minnesota and hundreds of families need help with rent in order to avoid eviction. Visit keepMNhoused.com to adopt a rent or donate to rent funds! #keepMNhoused
Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.
Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.
Do yourself a favor, go whip some shitties

Federal agents convinced an 11-year-old boy to open the door at 7:30 a.m. and then detained this Hmong grandma for 2 weeks in Texas. She shared a cell with 20 women. What did she do wrong? She has no idea, but ICE has returned repeatedly. She's still in hiding. www.twincities.com/2026/02/15/h...

It’s a great day to put new tabs on your license plates!
Went to pick up some takeout (Homi). Lady walks out with her food crying, clearly emotional. Door is locked. Get let in. Sign on the inside asks guests not to unlock the door. Drive home past some Mennonites with Ice Out signs picketing Target. Normal Friday. Totally crazy. Both.
2026: the International Olympics Committee disqualifies a Ukrainian athlete for wearing a helmet commemorating Ukrainian athletes killed in the russian war. Let the levels of this moral bankruptcy sink in forever. Full support to Vladyslav Heraskevych.
“my ‘we’re not out scouring the streets to disappear people or deny people their civil rights or due process’ shirt is raising a lot of questions that are answered by the shirt”

Three months ago I was hooting at the Metropolitan Airports Commission about ICE flights. Today they’ve sent me to holler at Congress. I’ll do my damndest to make you proud, Minnesota! #MNinDC
I am still mad, though.
They crush the local economy, deplete city budgets, illegally withhold congressionally allocated funds. In exchange we get masked Texans running wild in the streets, paid for with tax money that was supposed to be used on our healthcare. Thank you to our federal partners.

You know how I keep saying that every damn skill and capacity is needed in this moment???
What do you know how to do that can serve in this critical time??
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." …
She offered me $2600 to self-deport.
I refused.
I wanted to talk to my attorney.
They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’
