Attorneys for 15 Minnesota residents facing federal conspiracy charges have obtained evidence of a sweeping, possibly unconstitutional spying operation carried out by ICE against left-wing social movements in Minnesota and beyond.

wired.comICE Is Running One of the Largest Anti-Left Surveillance Operations in US HistoryICE’s Homeland Security Investigations is engaged in far-reaching spying against left-wing activists that rivals the FBI and CIA crackdowns on the Civil Rights and anti-war movements.

I live in the 6th, and I've met Chapin a couple times. Can he win? Well, he's the strongest candidate the DFL has put up in many years. If Blaine goes blue this year, he's got a shot at an upset victory few saw coming. www.minnpost.com/elections/20...

everyone I know has been channeling their trauma from January into continued action, incl voting, and I hope the DFL understands we want heads on pikes

In Minneapolis, which Flanagan's campaign notes was the "heart of Operation Metro Surge," early voter turnout last week hit 101% of equivalent 2024 turnout.

It’s nausea-inducing. I am 54 and I have lived in three states as an adult and I have rarely seen campaign advertising as overtly racist as what I’ve been seeing this cycle here in MN. I despise the GOP with the thermonuclear fire of a thousand blazing suns.

His colleagues and friends share this grief, and the outrage over both the attempts to smear him and the lack of justice. It will come. We will not forget.

just heartbreaking stuff Alex Pretti's mother calls out ICE and the Trump administration for killing her son and smearing his name, and calls for justice to be done.

The feds “have ignored us, misled us and shielded Alex’s killers,” Michael Pretti told reporters. Minnesota U.S Attorney Daniel Rosen has “stonewalled us for nine months, refusing to share a single update of any kind” on the federal investigation into Alex’s killing. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/1...

hmmm so there are..39 democrats who are supportive of Trump attacking Ilhan?

The persecution of @repilhan.bsky.social just days before an election is vile and politically-motivated. I'm leading 175 House Democrats in denouncing this. When we retake power, we have to seriously look at how we can stop these abuses of power — starting with the power of the purse.

I’m honored to have the endorsement of Attorney General Keith Ellison. PROSECUTE ICE: VOTE FRAZIER goes beyond just a statement. It means direct collaboration with our Attorney General, who is already suing the federal government for evidence we’ll need to begin prosecution.

I spoke to / emailed with HOURCAR Member Services staff many times over ~20 years of membership; they occasionally seemed overburdened, but were unfailingly helpful, courteous, and professional.

@ward3.minneapolismn.gov These deep cuts to Minneapolis Elections and Voter Services staff seem like a very bad idea, especially right before midterm elections. Is there anything that can be done?

Serafina@serafinas.bsky.social

I should have mentioned that my office is Minneapolis Elections & Voter Services. The Mayor's budget eliminates seven staff members less than two weeks before an anxiety-inducing midterm. No more high school election judge program. No more voter outreach.

i don’t wanna hear talk of how civically engaged minneapolis residents are around the election and how we vote in high numbers from the city or mayor this year with these proposed budget cuts to the elections & voter services office if you value these things, fund them like you do!

It’s a subject that makes a lot of people uncomfortable and calling them corrupt and evil is easier. But the truth is that Republicans have a rape problem—one that they celebrate.

penbucket.bsky.social@penbucket.bsky.social

Extraordinary. I can't believe your story may be the first time the Republican's acceptance of the rape and abuse of woman and children has been spoken of in such clear terms... considering how goddamn long it's been going on.

waymo representative sent to a city of minneapolis event can’t give a real answer about their vehicles utilizing bike lanes or not when this is a known PR issue for the company and we are one of the top biking cities in the country it’s talk of safety for the people inside the waymo only

Wedge LIVE!™@wedge.live

I asked the Waymo rep whether they allow their cars to park in bike lanes. She said they do, depending on city regulations. Would they comply if the city prohibits parking in bike lanes? She said she would have to get back to me on that. LAWLESS!
