Here is a link to the @StarTribune coverage. I've also appreciated how their President and CEO (@grove) has been actively sharing their coverage along with coverage of other outlets. I'm sure news desks do, too. He gets it. /2 startribune.com/ice-raids-mi…

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
JUST IN: Lawyers file declaration in federal court from first-hand witness to immigration agents' shooting of a US citizen onlookers today. Minneapolis Mayor Frey said details would be used to bolster case for ousting ICE from city. Doc: documentcloud.org/documents/…

This is Alex Pretti, a VA ICU nurse, honoring a veteran he cared for at a VA hospital.
The son of the deceased veteran just posted this video on Facebook with the following message:
“RIP Alex Pretti,
he was my Dads ICU nurse, he read my dad’s final salute at the VA after he passed away. Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point. Also my Fathers final words to me was continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’ sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my Dads words I encourage you all to continue to ‘fight the good fight’”

Los Angeles was the test run. Now Trump is taking his violent playbook nationwide, searching for any excuse to deploy federal force.
California, stay safe, support yourself and neighbors and report any abuse by ICE/CBP to: oag.ca.gov/ReportMisconduct

You’re watching the administration lose control of the narrative in real time.
The more they show their supporters that they don’t give a shit about their gun rights, the worse it gets.
I’ve seen over a dozen right-wing commentators call out the propaganda. That’s progress.

That rage you feel is sacred. Honor it.
We’re in the fight of our lives and honestly we have been for some time now.
Don’t allow yourself to go numb. Don’t look away. None of this shit is normal.

No new funding.
Kristi Noem must RESIGN.
Greg Bovino must be FIRED.
Suspend the LAWLESS mass deportation raids nationwide NOW — ICE is no longer just deporting dangerous criminals.
Send the border patrol back to the border.
End the militarization of ICE + the sick racial profiling.
End the perverse cash incentives that are bounties to perpetrate Trump’s cruel agenda.
Require thorough, real background checks for everyone, and 2+ years of training before even setting foot in the field.
INVESTIGATE and PROSECUTE every single federal agent who is breaking the law.

NOEM: “I don’t know of any peaceful protestor that shows up with a gun and ammunition rather than a sign.”

Are you a tech worker or tech company leader who sees what's happening in Minnesota—and across the US—as the tipping point for no longer being silent about your personal politics? My DMs are open; Signal handle is in my bio.

When Trumps dad got Alzheimer's (which is hereditary) they put him in a pretend office and let him sign pretend papers and make pretend decisions for his companies.
I feel like that information is relevant right now.

My Norwegian opinion is that If your country opens a department of war and closes the department of education, then you live in a shithole country 🖐️🖐️🖐️ 🖐️🖐️🖐️

OMG this is what the people of Minnesota are hearing in the dead of night when ICE tries to sneak up on them while they’re sleeping! This woman screams “They’re Here” “Close your doors” “Get inside” “Lock your doors” “Stay Safe”! This woman stays up to warn her neighbors!

For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by I.C.E. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more,
That there her absence roars,
Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles,
Dark fury of flowers,
Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief,
Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater
Of the worst of what we’ve been.
Change is only possible,
& all the greater,
When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
& better angels of our nature.
What they call death & void,
We know is breath & voice;
In the end, gorgeously,
Endures our enormity.
You could believe departed to be the dawn
When the blank night has so long stood.
But our bright-fled angels will never be fully gone,
When they forever are so fiercely Good.
