Looking at what national news outlets are up to right now, one might not realize a whole major US metropolitan area is, you know, sort of under attack by paramilitary forces. Wild.

im sorry the What is being What now???

While it's not going unreported entirely, what's been happening in Minnesota and in Minneapolis–Saint Paul in particular since Renee Good was murdered is not getting the attention it should be.

There are already 2000 gangsters from DHS deployed, and "hundreds" or "1000" more are on the way, depending on which Trumpland person you ask. As a point of reference, the Twin Cities' actual police total just under 1200 (600 in Minneapolis and 590 in Saint Paul according to the depts' sites).

The feds there are more or less attacking people at random. They've gone door-to-door for "citizenship checks" (completely illegal). They've knocked doors down when residents haven't complied (obviously also completely illegal). In addition to abducting and brutalizing the immigrants they come across during their rampages, they've done the same to US citizens of color and are also harassing, stalking and physically attacking observers.

Here are some local sources:

Below are some videos from observers. I'm linking to Bluesky because that's where I saw them, though many are originally from/also available elsewhere. I apologize for the rancid formatting below but it was the best I could do quickly-ish. The images are previews; click the links in the timestamps to watch.

News2Share has more on YouTube:

I also recommend checking out this guy's work:

Trevor Dubois, an indigenous man who was in the hospital for chemo following a brain cancer diagnosis, was murdered by Saskatoon hospital security via. forceful restraint on Friday over a plastic lighter that police are publicly calling an “imitation firearm”. The cops are now trying to make it seem like Trevor had methamphetamines and drug paraphernalia in the hospital room with him after security murdered him to justify what took place.

here’s the saskatchewan health authority’s most recent statement regarding the incident. there’s a lot of talk but nothing of substance is being said. his family just wants answers and yet they haven’t even been told his time of death. his family also believes that the “imitation firearm” in question is a bright pink and green cigarette holder/lighter, but police refuse to release a photo of it.

according to those who knew him, he was a kind person who always went out of his way to help the less fortunate. he was seeking certification as a social worker and was heavily involved in his community. his family also says that he was against anything that has the potential to cause harm to people.

lastly, here is a quote from his brother, ryan (from this aptn article):

Apparently ICE now has agents posing as utility workers to get into people's homes. The electric and gas companies have posted information on how to tell if it's one of their workers, and numbers to call to confirm whether they've sent someone to do utility work on your house.

Stay safe, friends.

ICE has profiled and detained at least 5 Native people in Minneapolis in the past 2 weeks. One man has been identified and released, but the other four were unhoused and have yet to be located.

there is an initiative to ensure tribal members have ID:

As the new year begins, I sit inside our cold tent and ask myself:

Do I even have the right to dream?

I dreamed of welcoming this year in a home that protects us, not in a fragile tent that shakes with every wind and lets the cold creep into our nights.

I dreamed that my children could sleep without fear, and wake up to the smell of bread — not the sound of bombing.

My wish was simple.

A small home. A safe roof. Warmth that feels like the homes we lost.

I wished I could vaccinate my children, protect their health, and shield them from illness the same way I try to shield them from war.

But the reality is heavier than my strength, and the war has taken away our choices and our time.

In this new year, I am not asking for the impossible.

I am asking for a kind hand, a compassionate heart, and help that can restore a piece of our humanity.

Maybe my wishes will come true.

Maybe my children will grow up remembering that someone stood by them in their darkest days.

We are still dreaming, despite everything.

And we still believe that kindness has not disappeared.🙏

Hello everyone, I hope you are all safe.

I would like to share what my family is going through during this difficult time. As I mentioned before, we are living in a small, damaged house that may leak when it rains. Despite its condition, it shelters my family along with other families of orphans and elderly people.

As you know, our number is very large, and there is no better alternative at the moment, especially during winter. The rent for this house, which shelters more than 25 people who have no one to care for them, is now due.

The world has failed us. Our homes were destroyed, and our lives were shattered. We also lost the most precious people to us — my four uncles, who were killed and left behind families with no fathers, no homes, no money, and no life.

We are here fighting to survive, but we are no longer able to do it alone. You are our only hope in this life.

The house rent is $600, and there is a fixed deadline to pay it: 📅 January 10, 2026

That means we only have about 6 days left.

The weather is extremely cold. Winter floods tents and threatens damaged houses, causing deaths and serious damage to both people and property. If I fail to pay the rent, we will be forced out onto the streets with no shelter at all.

We are also suffering from a severe shortage of blankets and are feeling intense cold every day and night.

Please, my family needs you. You are our only hope in this life.

Thank you all for reading and for your support.

From here you will learn how much is left to achieve the goal, my friend.

Mahmoud from Gaza needs your support now.

No work, no shelter, no hope, no reconstruction.

Check on them, ask about their well-being. We still need your support. Everyone has turned against us, and only you have stood by us.

Help us rebuild our hopes, step by step, for the suffering of life is more severe than war. So, what will the suffering after the war be like?

What about starting over after years of planning? After years of hard work, your dream destroyed in a moment. Our house was destroyed, and Esnad company, which I built with you from scratch, was destroyed. Starting from scratch requires your support and donations. Do not skimp on your support for us.

Ice is now targeting Native Americans on reservations, specifically Standing Rock.

[Image description: mobile screenshot taken from the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Facebook that is a statement released by the Chief of Standing Rock. The statement reads as follows:

Chairman sitting Bear's statement regarding SRST Public Safety, January 9th, 2026.

I have been receiving reports and evidence of First Nations people being racially targeted, assaulted, and detained by the federal agency Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE). We want to remind our members to be safe and proactive by carrying with you at a minimum your tribal identification cards or a copy of your degree of Indian Blood. Our tribal identification affirms our citizenship and political status.

Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigrant enforcement on our own lands. Any federal activity within our boundaries must recognize and respect our tribal sovereignty, treaty obligations, and established jurisdictional boundaries. Any ICE presence or activity within our lands is not authorized, not welcome, and will be addressed. Unauthorized personnel will be escorted off our lands.

If you are profiled, harassed, or detained, please notify us immediately (701) 854-8529. My staff is working on a "Know Your Rights" information phone line that will be released in the incoming days. Please watch our social media page for further communication.

Again, I strongly advise all First Nations people to carry your tribal information as a practical measure. Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is committed to the protection, dignity, and well-being of our own people and to the continued exercise of our rights and jurisdiction. End image description.]

So you have a imperialist settler colony that abducts a president from another nation and then orders airstrikes to military bases in the capital and a Gulf country bombing a neighbouring country to meet together and implement a ceasefire for a country they exploit resources from (i.e: crude oil, gold and gum arabic. A reminder that gold is illegally extracted and sold to the UAE and Switzerland! Russia steals the gold to fund the war in Ukraine!).

But do you think a ceasefire will happen? Would it be permanent? Will the SAF (Sudanese Armed Forces) and RSF (Rapid Support Forces) agree to it? Will Al Fashir, a city in North Darfur, be free and have aid entering? Will reconstruction begin? It would be ideal if Russia and the UAE are held accountable, dismantle the RSF and SAF, and end the genocide! ! !

Please talk about Sudan. Boycott the UAE, donate to fundraisers and grassroots organizations, and protest in the streets. Consider helping Eman (@emiiii980) in the meantime. She has been raising funds for her family, but we have not achieved the goal, so she has returned with a new fundraiser! She is supporting other families, as well! So kindly give her what you can and share with everyone you know! Her fundraiser has been shared by @/el-shab-hussein here. [A friendly reminder to keep in mind with the currency exchange! $10 USD = $13 CAD!].

Please donate here.

$1,476/9,000

No change has been made from the previous update! The last donation was made 4 days ago. Please donate and share. Let's reach the 2K mark as soon as possible! There is $524 left to go! [A friendly reminder to keep in mind with the currency exchange. $10 USD = $13 CAD!].

STOP SCROLLING, PLEASE

If you believe the war in Gaza Strip is over, you’re wrong.

The cameras moved on. The suffering didn’t.

Every single day, large numbers of people are killed.

The bombardment continues.

Civilians are still paying the price daily

Don’t confuse silence with peace.

Silence is just another form of abandonment.

DONATE FOR MY FAMILY

VERIFICATION

Please try not to ignore this post 🙏🙏

Check your cheese again!

This is not a figment of the imagination…this is a picture of a reality unfolding now, behind walls, far from cameras and the spotlight. Thousands of Palestinian prisoners languish in jails, many without trial: children, doctors, students, parents…their bodies shackled, their pain unheard. They are not asking for the impossible. They are asking the world to know that they are human beings…and that their lives matter.

don’t skip please 💔 😓

I am a mother and I feel helpless every day in front of her. She lost her school, her childhood, even her simplest rights

I write to you with a heavy heart and I ask you to please help us, even a little. Believe me, any donation no matter how small can make a big difference for us, a loaf of bread, a box of milk, a blanket.

We are close to reaching our goal, and any help or sharing from you could give my daughter some of the safety she deserves.

In addition to the murder of Renee Good yesterday, ICE was snatching kids and teachers from schools in South Minneapolis. I've heard that a teacher was dragged out of her car in front of students. I've heard that teachers were pulling students back into the school after the school day ended to keep them from getting snatched by ICE. I've heard that schools had to go on lockdown to keep intruders (ICE) out. Minneapolis schools are closed today and tomorrow. But that's just what I'm hearing from like, my friends who live in South Minneapolis and heard about it from their friends. I'm having a hard time finding actual news articles about this because the shooting is dominating the news coverage. If anyone has good sources lmk.
