MONDAY !!!!

The Senate is considering a bill that would allocate federal funds to procure the devices, which are not containers that fentanyl goes inside.

If their First Ave show circa 1992 is any indication, we will be able to hear this from home

i’ve been sent this footage of an MPD officer on east lake st during the federal action on 6/3 turning around and shoving a person who was filming him

Thanks to Councilmembers Chavez, Chowdhury, Osman, and Wonsley for demanding an outside, after-action review MPD's support and cooperation with Homeland Security and ICE in their militarized show-of-force in a major intersection in our neighborhood, meant to intimidate the community.

I'm trying to get to the bottom of it, folks

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

emergency press conference outside mayor frey’s office by MIRAC, MIM, and the indigenous protector movement regarding ICE’s presence in minneapolis

Since I’ve got Eno on the brain this headline has a soundtrack

Gov. Tim Walz called Tuesday’s major law enforcement presence in south Minneapolis “chaotic” and said his Department of Public Safety had no advance notice.

“If they want to inflict fear, and they wanted to discourage cooperation, they achieved both those goals yesterday,” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said Wednesday in an interview with States Newsroom. minnesotareformer.com/2025/06/04/a...

I just called the Minneapolis office of @klobuchar.senate.gov to ask what her stance is on defending immigrant communities in the face of illegal deportations and the very polite constituent service rep on the end informed me that he was not at liberty to say but could do a Google search. Appalling.

Emergency Press Conference @ 4:00 pm today, Mpls City Hall, outside Mayor Frey's office. Protect immigrants. Stand with MIRAC @miracmn.bsky.social

nah think i will continue to do my writing and thinking in-house and not atrophy my brain to send faster emails

“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

Typical Frey: "I understand if you were concerned about a militarized invasion of our city yesterday, but I made a statement saying you shouldn't be concerned, and if that doesn't satisfy you, you're a bad person."

There is no circumstance in which MPD should cooperate with ICE. In the eyes of many, Minneapolis has one of the strongest Separation Ordinances in the country. But yesterday, we saw its weaknesses: a close reading of our Separation Ordinance still allows collaboration with ICE.

WATCH: “You stand in my church. You promised me.” A Minneapolis pastor confronts the chief of police about helping ICE

Trans rights, choose your (Minnesota) fighter: www.startribune.com/gov-tim-walz... (Disagree with the Strib that Dems like Craig are ‘largely aligned” with Walz if they won’t speak clearly. The statements allow that trans discrimination is fine as long as it’s local.)

On a lighter note, when Raygun shoots they do not miss

If Gary Indiana never wrote that one “important” book, then his oeuvre is something better than important: it’s alive. The pulsing, document of a city and a way of life that are forgotten or fading fast, told in an utterly original voice. @Longreads.com medium.com/@markcoleman...

Hey out of town friends who want to support Minneapolis right now, here’s an opportunity: buy some tacos from an impacted Lake Street business to feed people who were out there against ICE today!

Immigrant rights organizers gathered outside a Lake Street business on Tuesday as armed law enforcement officers blocked off access.

My new hero is the person who sharpied "BITCH NAZI" on this bearcat.

A once-hyped AI startup backed by Microsoft has filed for bankruptcy after it was revealed that its so-called artificial intelligence was actually hundreds of human workers in India pretending to be chatbots.

This is what bugs me. Frey is always two steps behind and today it seemed like O’Hara was too

Hey friends! I’m collecting evidence of MPD and the county collaborating with ICE and other federal agents. If you have photos or videos from today please reply!! If it’s a video you may get a DM from me asking to share the file. Thanks all!

now they are denying it was even an immigration action and acting like they didn't come with three massive armored vehicles and enough zip ties to make mass arrests. get out there and make their job miserable. love to my minneapolis people who brought megaphones and stood out there in the rain.

Minneapolis residents running ICE/DHS out of town so hard multiple police agencies are lying about what really happened while DC Democrats give Republicans free TACOS really does show the difference between the party base and the party infrastructure, doesn't it?

at lake and bloomington where ICE were seen. large group of angry people

Cigarettes everywhere. Cigarettes in restaurants. Cigarettes in cars. Cigarettes on planes. Walls and upholstery absolutely yellowed with tar.

Dick Durbin, Amy Klobuchar, and Chris Coons all co-sponsored this, FYI.

I think people running government agencies should have some expertise in the agencies they have been hired to run

I am reading that New Yorker profile of Curtis Yarvin and I cannot overemphasize how much he is a stupid person's idea of what a smart person sounds like. I resent having to know who this man is. I wish to wipe him from my memory.

If I'm reading this correctly, then Yarvin wants the role of führer to be awarded via a Wings of Voice-style competition www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
