Don’t talk about how much you support immigrants or want ICE out if you support throwing my community out into the cold.

You’re now responsible for people self deporting, not having enough money to feed their families, and their displacement. You’re just like ICE.

As someone who spent every day trying to protect my community from ICE, to the point where I was personally assaulted, I’m so disappointed Mayor Frey vetoed this bare-minimum policy that would show that he could move beyond cuss words & take real action to provide material support for our neighbors.

YES, ICE ARRESTS HAVE DECREASED

YES, ICE ARRESTS HAVE DECREASED

ARRESTS ARE STILL 4X AS HIGH AS THEY WERE BEFORE THIS ADMINISTRATION’S TERM BEGAN

Daily ICE arrests nationwide

Arrests slowed in February but were still much higher than when President Trump took office.

4 frame comic. a street journalist is interviewing a tall light brown man with a pink scarf and a tshirt of the band Angine de Poitrine. off-frame, the journalist asks : sir! are you worried about
homophobic parents who
might want to trans their
child rather than have
an effeminate son?
the man replies :
wait wait wait wait wait.
are you implying that some
homophobes might not also
be raging transphobes?
Never heard of that.
trans kids are currently
being hunted down, outlawed,
marginalized from social life,
singled out in their own schools,
and you're asking me about some
hypothetical parent who might
pressure a child into being trans so
they might what? fit in better?
transitioning as a child in-
volves years of determination.
every adult in their life is likely
to cast doubt on who they are. if
they are lucky and have supportive
parents, their families are often
ostracized by their community.
the idea that someone sees the
hardships a family with a trans
child goes through and thinks "they
must have forced it on them"
makes me physically ill.

The Trump Administration can’t even impose its will on Minneapolis when the full force of the federal government was focused on it, but surely they will be able to pacify and remake Iran, a nation of 90 million people halfway around the world.

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

ICE is STILL in Minnesota and STILL terrorizing communities. Reporters that say otherwise are either uninformed (which....) or lazy (which... ) or just repeating regime lies (which... is also extremely bad).

People are still missing, people are and will be traumatized, businesses demolished...

Take Action Now: Call Mayor Frey and tell him to support Pause Evictions, Save Lives passed by the city council on 3/5/2026.

Mayor Frey: 612-673-2100

Sample Script: "I am calling to ask Mayor Frey to commit to supporting an extension of the pre-eviction notice period from 30 to 60 days. Countless neighbors are at immediate risk of displacement and this measure is the bare minimum the City can do to protect our neighbors. Can I count on his support?"

Today, the Mpls City Council passed the Pause Evictions, Save Lives ordinance, which would extend the pre-eviction notice period from 30 to 60 days.

Take action now and call Mayor Frey (612-673-2100) and tell him to stand with our neighbors and extend the pre-eviction filing period.

Unprecedented activity at the Whipple Building today. Multiple shipments of black Chevy Tahoes and a load of building materials. Never before, not even during *peak surge days*, have we seen so many vehicles delivered at once.

Are these the actions of an agency preparing to vacate the cities?

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Just because you got fired, Minnesotans won’t forget what you did to our neighbors. We will continue to fight for you to be held accountable.

Hennepin County deputy charged in off-duty sexual assault, records show A Hennepin County sheriff's deputy is accused of raping a woman early Sunday morning following a night of drinking, charging documents show.

No words for this. Just like ICE. Hennepin County is NOT working for the people.

Alienating your core customers, then doubling down at least two more times, then allowing occupation troops in your own stores arresting your own employees, then spearheading a nonresponse letter to the community wondering what side to take. Yea Target is a real business school head scratcher.

@amyklobuchar.com Again, Mrs. Klobuchar, perhaps a break from touring would be helpful to better understand what’s happening with the Sheriffs in your state that are needlessly attacking demonstrators with excessive force.

A tweet from 2022 in which Rep. Angie Craig shares a comic from Scott county GOP that portrays internal DFL party jostling over MPD funding, with AG Keith Ellison and Rep. Ilhan Omar (who both live in and represent Minneapolis) on one side and Craig and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on the other. In her tweet, Craig credits her GOP opponents for their accuracy.

Who needs a hopeful thing to hang onto? Yeah, me too. Today one of my dearest friends is *at the UN in Geneva* advocating for our rights in Minnesota, bringing his considerable legal experience to stand up for immigrant/human rights on a world stage. People are fighting for good, not just IN MN.

3 ICE agents got McDonald’s and then went on a joy ride through the neighborhood tonight around 1 AM. This has nothing to do with public safety and is all about terrorizing people and burning through taxpayer dollars. This is why we can’t rest until every last agent leaves our state.

Well, we voted for her, and that’s what we got.
