It’s day 99 of the ICE occupation of MN.

We’re still out patrolling and raising money and delivering groceries to keep our neighbors safe.

Call and ask Mayor Frey to do the same by NOT vetoing Pause Evictions, Save Lives.

Phone: 612-673-2100
Email: Jacob.Frey@minneapolismn.gov

If you support election finance reform, call your state reps! This bill passed the Senate elections committee on a 6-5 vote (all dems in favor, all repubs against) and now moves to the judiciary committee. I hear Rep. Greenman is carrying a similar bill in the house. Let’s help them get it done 💪

Les Milles Camp | Holocaust Encyclopedia Under the Vichy regime, the Les Milles camp held foreign Jews before emigration or, in most cases, deportation to German concentration camps and killing centers.

ICE converting warehouses to deportation camps reminds me of Les Milles, a tile factory that was converted to an infamous deportation camp and prison by the French Vichy regime. Thousands of "enemy aliens" were imprisoned here, many of them were sent from there to Auschwitz and Dachau.

Investigation: DHS increasingly targeting U.S. citizens A new Wall Street Journal investigation finds the department is increasingly turning its wrath on U.S. citizens, punishing them for filming or observing officers.

A new Wall Street Journal investigation finds DHS is increasingly turning its wrath on U.S. citizens, punishing them for simply filming or observing officers.

Belle Cushing is one of the reporters behind the investigation. She spoke with MPR News guest host Emily Reese about it.

The richest Americans saw their net worth soar 120% from 2017 to 2025.

The top 1% now control $55.8 trillion in assets — more than the G.D.P. of the United States and China combined.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

I got some cotton swabs & a drying rack we really needed & splurged on a candle refill to put in an empty one I knew we'd have since @phoenix-rights.bsky.social & I are big candle girlies & it smelled lovely.

Trump just rolled out a cruel anti-trans prison policy doctors are calling ‘dangerous’ A new Bureau of Prisons move requiring that transgender inmates be tapered off their hormones could bring serious health consequences, physicians and advocates warn.

NEWS: The Trump administration is forcing transgender inmates to detransition by implementing a new policy that would withhold their medical treatment in a way that puts clinicians in conflict with ethics and patients in danger.

Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

Trump’s pardons have forgiven $1.5 BILLION in criminal debts. That’s money that was owed to victims and the government.

That number comes from the conservative Cato Institute, by the way.

Dear Mayor Frey,
As elected officials who represent Minneapolis, we ask you to sign Pause Evictions Save Lives (legislative file 2026-00099). Temporarily extending the pre-eviction notice from 30 to 60 days gives our residents extra time that is desperately needed to help find resources to prevent eviction.
We've all been amazed by our shared constituents' resiliency and resolve in the face of ICE's illegal occupation of our City. Our residents banded together to protect one another, even raising millions of dollars in mutual aid funds to help keep their neighbors in their homes. It's our duty as elected officials to match the commitment in our residents to try and keep as many of our neighbors in their homes as possible.
We look to Minneapolis to lead the way and are working on similar bills to extend pre-eviction notices statewide to help our neighbors. Signing the Pause Evictions Save Lives measure will bolster our efforts and reinforce our message to our colleagues about the way in which pre-eviction notices help prevent families from being evicted.
We've been so proud of the work of the City of Minneapolis to respond to this unprecedented federal invasion. Your work to increase funding for immigration legal services, rental assistance, and creating a small business resiliency fund has shown how elected officials can meet the moment. Signing Pause Eviction Save Lives is the next step in helping our residents recover and ensure none of them are left behind.
Sincerely,
DoaChh

We were disappointed to learn that the MN Chief Justice declined, for the second time, to protect the buildings that house courtrooms from federal agents conducting civil immigration enforcement. It is not political to tell the federal government to conduct its business outside courthouses.

53% of Project 2025 implemented in 13 months by a man who 'knew nothing' about it. The authors sit in his cabinet. The blueprint runs his government. This is not incompetence. This is not coincidence. This is a plan. It always was.

'Only affects illegal women.' 69 million American-born wives changed their names for their husbands. Their birth certificates don't match. The SAVE Act punishes women for doing exactly what conservatives demanded. The irony would be delicious if it weren't so vicious.

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

When our military is fighting a war Americans don't want, secret police are kidnapping and killing our neighbors, and the regime is working overtime to suppress the vote in the midterm elections, silence isn't an option. No Kings Day on March 28 has to be big, loud, and inescapable.

Please join us.
