100%. I believe everyone here in Minneapolis understands that. I read comments (some are bots/trolls) saying the only way to stop this is to start shooting back, but we know deep down that 95% of the resulting casualties would be innocent bystanders. We’ve been able to mitigate harm to our most vulnerable neighbors by NOT escalating the violence.
ICE is at my door. Do you live in Minneapolis? I do, and I’m out every day, but not everyone is able to do that. People have kids, they have patients they have to see, they have disabilities. It’s bleak right now, and I promise you that even though these organized protests aren’t physically confronting ICE, they keep the community engaged and send a message that they’re not wearing us down. Even if you believe what you’re saying, it contributes nothing helpful to this movement.
Thank you buddy.
I shouldn’t bother responding to this energy-suck, but god damn I get so mad reading so many versions of the same defeatist comment. Why do you even take the time to write it?
Actually, based on how some Minneapolis detainees described the holding cells, I would believe $47/day.
Every second of coverage that Jacob Frey gets is a centrist distraction from a sincere conversation about what’s happening in Minneapolis. He is uninterested in doing anything that helps anyone vulnerable in this city. He bumbled his way through the uprising in 2020 (on the side of “restoring order”), he constantly had homeless communities bulldozed, and now again he’s distracting people with stern-sounding rhetoric while doing nothing to support the community.
The precinct map for the 2025 mayoral election (which Frey won) overlays neatly with the city map of ICE activity this month. That is, the parts of the city that supported Frey are being less affected by ICE raids and kidnappings. He doesn’t care about protecting immigrants and BIPOC community members because they’re not “his people.”

The more granular the analysis, the more I feel completely insane. I watched the video from 4 angles at regular speed and I saw nothing ambiguous. She turned to drive away and he shot her dead. There’s no other side of the story.
Thanks for investigating and sharing more info!
I hadn’t heard that they only collect the bonus after 5 years. Do you have a source?
It’s an AI video. Sorry everyone.
EDIT: To clarify, I’m talking about the clip of the two agents falling together. Look at the space in the background that seems to be across the street. It doesn’t make any sense. There’s some Picasso concrete work with a seam that extends into the snowbank on the right? It’s AI.
You go ahead and do that, but make sure there are no innocent people nearby when you do. They haven’t been trained on the rules of engagement, nor do they care about them. When they’re fired upon, they won’t just fire back at the individuals who shot them. They’ll consider everyone a threat and start spraying the crowd. If you shoot one of them, you’re creating exponentially more danger for everyone around you.
Look at the videos from their attack on Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis. A kid threw snow at one of the agents - not even a snowball, just a handful of snow - and the agent turned around and bear maced everyone he could see.
You thought it was mediocre? Man, that’s one of my favorite movies.
They’ve also allowed ICE to use at least one of their Minneapolis locations as a staging/preparation area for their kidnapping operations.
Are we talking about the ceremony of marriage or the legal contract? I highly recommend committing yourself to a partnership if you find one, but personally I don’t see a benefit to government marriage in many cases.
An amount far smaller than that is enough to absolutely ruin your life.
In the last few years, Minneapolis has become a sanctuary for Transplants. We’ll take care of you!
I often remind people that what we refer to as “personality disorders” don’t appear out of nowhere. The most narcissistic person you know is paralyzed with fear that they’re unlovable. When they speak highly of themselves, they’re desperate for you to tell them they’re good and special, because they can’t find that goodness in themselves. Unfortunately when their efforts repel everyone around them, they end up confirming what they fear the most.
For all the darkness and evil Trump has brought to this world, remember that he’s never really felt loved a day in his life.
Goodbye! You’re right that much or most of the fanbase is childish morons, but some of us are not that.
You couldn’t go 60 seconds in that crowd without someone asking, “Do you need any hand warmers? Are those gloves warm enough? I have an extra pair.” When we reached the Target Center there were half a dozen Somali neighbors handing out free, hot sambusas.
One interesting thing is that the route for the march made several turns, so it was hard to gauge the size of the crowd without one long, continuous view. I was about 150 people from the front, and it wasn’t until I watched a timelapse that I realized how fucking massive the march was.
Wherever you are, I hope you have a chance to march this Friday. Don’t wait to find out if there’s “a lot of people” before you decide. You’re not attending the march - you are the march. We’re going to make it through this.
