- Reposted by K JumbeEverything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began. Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.
- America, we're war criming again. Trump & Co. are amoral but also fools, unable to conceive that events they trigger may lead to consequences they cannot control, and that something may not blow up in your face immediately but it doesn't mean it won't blow back eventually.

- Reposted by K Jumbe👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it. What? x.com/sethharpesq/...
- Reposted by K JumbeSwear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

- Reposted by K JumbeThis morning there was an ICE presence on McKinley street but then over 20 neighbors responded right away with their whistles and cameras and ICE left. This follows over a dozen ICE agents breaking into an apartment on Franklin Ave at 6 am this morning without presenting a warrant.

- Reposted by K JumbeThank you to everyone in CA including the elected officials and voters who successfully accomplished mid-decade redistricting to swiftly counter the attempted theft by Texas. Action and tangible results are so much better than gripes and strongly worded letters.
- Reposted by K Jumbe🚨 New: We built a visual tracker of the warehouses ICE is targeting across the US. Working off an idea from @actualkatherine.bsky.social, we’ve mapped active searches, canceled deals, and linked state property records. Explore the map here: tinyurl.com/ICEWarehouse...

- And here I thought the Supreme Court said the purpose of law enforcement is to protect property.
- I try not to be fast and loose w/historical comparisons, but when the only way to know that a government has imprisoned a family is when another child spots a classmate across a detention center, and that is the only reason they get a lawyer... The only comparisons you can make are bleak.
- Reposted by K JumbeThese 2 kids detained last week were brought back to MN today. But school officials say many others from the Columbia Heights district are missing. They're not sure if they're in ICE detention or have moved away with their families. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
- Reposted by K JumbeGreat read. An ICE attorney working for DOJ temporarily explains that ICE has no clue how all of this "federal court" stuff works and makes clear that both ICE and DOJ were totally unprepared for the flood of habeases that were the inevitable result of the Minneapolis raids.

- Reposted by K JumbeOur founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.
- Reposted by K JumbeWhile Tom Homan was trying to grab headlines this morning ICE was again circling our schools. They’ve been out all morning and no “drawdown” is enough until every single one of these agents is out of our state and DHS is abolished.
- Reposted by K JumbeWe gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”
- Reposted by K JumbeIn the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD. Just some facts I think bear repeating.

- Reposted by K JumbeVICTORY: After thousands of locals protested, called, and gave public comments, a company halted the sale of a Virginia warehouse to DHS to be used for immigrant detention. DHS wants to buy 23 warehouses nationwide. Resist all of them.
- Reposted by K JumbeThe headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota." Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota." This presser worked like a charm.

Siri, what happens when you kill the Chinese soybean market, end USAID food purchases, harass the labor pool, impose tariffs on inputs, kill ag research and support, and actively oppose wind and solar, which could offer farmers some financial diversification?

- Reposted by K JumbeMost of the footage you see from ICE observers in Minnesota comes from the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. I talked to observers in the northern suburbs, who say they're taking on the same mission in very different conditions. (1) share.google/ei9giIFLsuEJ...
- Reposted by K JumbeAxios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.

- Reposted by K Jumbe"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed." A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends. Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

- "Photographic evidence from the shooting scene of a Venezuelan man by federal agents last month in Minneapolis supports the account of witnesses there – and appears to undercut the narrative provided by federal officials." www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...
- Reposted by K JumbeRemember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

It is also one of the most successful defense committees that was organized in the 20th century. Almost no one knows about it today.
- Reposted by K JumbeFloored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

- Reposted by K JumbeI spoke with several VA staffers, most in Minneapolis, who say they've heard almost nothing from VA leadership after Alex Pretti was killed. They report low morale, blocked memorials and a feeling that the VA is downplaying it. New from me @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/veteran...
- Reposted by K JumbeHorrifying and unnerving. DHS sent an administrative subpoena to Google for this retiree's records and even sent armed agents out to his house for the "offense" of writing the following completely anodyne email to a federal prosecutor using an email address he found via Google.

- Reposted by K JumbeThis is evidence of ICE becoming less effective, not pulling back. Many vulnerable populations in Minnesota remain terrified, essentially locked down - skipping work, school, the doctor, shopping, you name it - it sounds hyperbolic, but it's the reality here.
