Agree with @jigarshahdc.bsky.social here - it is really wild how the expansion of fossil gas for data centres has become normalised in the past few years. We shouldn't accept this as normal!

Rep. Ansari Statement on United States Attack on Iran.
A United States senator from the president's own party, one who serves on the Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, has no idea what's going on as America goes to war with Iran.
Footage from Minab, Iran, shows the aftermath of an Israeli-US strike on a girls' elementary school that reportedly killed more than 50 people.
This is the most important thing on the internet rn 🤣😭
New MN Poll:
- 64% disapprove of how ICE handling its job
- 66% say ICE has gone too far
- 88% say ICE agents should not be granted immunity
Minnesotans agree: end Metro Surge. Hold ICE accountable.
When the world falls into chaos, it’s women who hold the line.
Glamour photojournalist Erin Trieb took to the streets of Minnesota to document women holding the city together amid the ongoing ICE and CBP operations. Watch as she takes us behind the scenes of her experience on the front lines.
“Millennial women were told we can do anything,” she says. “I was a girl-power Spice Girl. I read books about little girls seeing injustice and doing something about it. This is my moment. I’ve been training for this since I was eight.” -Mandi Jung

Very big win here. A federal judge says it's just fine for funds and pension plans to boycott fossil fuels

🚨 I just introduced my DRAIN ICE legislation package to repeal the tens of billions Trump and Republicans handed ICE last summer, force accountability for deadly detention center conditions, and save lives now. I’m urging my colleagues to sign on.
This week made it plain: data centers are beating heavy industry in the fight for power. Century Aluminum just sold its Hawesville smelter site to a data center: proof that in today’s economy, whoever can pay more for electricity wins. www.courier-journal.com/story/news/l...
"Should the forces of decency ever regain the upper hand in DC, we need a monument to the people of Minneapolis on the National Mall, and busts of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in the capitol."
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."
Walz: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal government that can kill, injure, menace and kidnap its citizens off the streets or on the side of a nurse at the V.A. who died bearing witness to such government
🚨 BREAKING: Chris Madel ends GOP bid for governor, says he can’t support federal ‘retribution’ against Minnesota
His exit comes as some other Republicans have started to distance themselves from the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the state

There were more than 200 neighbors holding candles out on our street corner tonight - The same corner where twice yesterday vehicles attempted to hit protestors.
They don't get to take our safety and our community away from us.
With you Eric 💛
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."
YOUR PHONE CALLS TO THE SENATE ARE WORKING. KEEP CALLING.

Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.
ALL MN PROTESTERS
Absolutely nothing could be worse for our cause than violence and rioting. It is what ICE and Trump obviously want. Do not burn down our own city to protest invaders; they do not care; they will enjoy it. Do not do it. Do not let your fellow protesters do it.
trying to remember people are working to stop this everywhere
Yall outside of MN need to know that observers are STILL out protecting their neighbors. Right now. They know the news and they’re still out there.

We lost two neighbors today to ICE abductions. The kids are off school tomorrow but we'll be at a different elementary school packing boxes for families too afraid to leave their homes.
We are more organized each day and we won't stop until these assholes leave.
What people know about publicly is only a fraction of the work actually going on, much of which is being done very quietly for the safety/security of our vulnerable neighbors.
Truly inspired by so many people (you know who you are) right now. And truly surreal that any of this is even necessary.
Less than a dozen protesters with him, and then pelted with a water balloon* in 14⁰ F weather
To quote @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, we are going to win

Talked to a Somali man today who said his mosque last night was surrounded by neighbors ready to protect them against ICE if needed. Made me feel proud to live in this city.
As part of the Cedar Riverside Protection Alliance, “Mamas of Cedar” patrol the neighborhood, educate residents of their rights and provide food for those who need it.
Lmfao 😂 Jake Lang is experiencing the finding out phase in Minneapolis.
So moved by the people of Minnesota who—drawing on LA, Portland, Chicago, DC etc—are writing a shining new chapter in the history of nonviolent resistance.
The rest of us need to be taking notes—and helping them!
