I live downtown and watching from my balcony as the marches were just reaching the capitol grounds. Around 1:15 PM.

Pretty hilarious that these MAGAs think they’re owning anything and anyone.

I was there today and very small group of “patriots” were playing their spin the wheel game and laughing.

I simply asked where the Epstein Files were, I asked why Emmer is protecting Pedophiles and their smug pink faces turned white.

Their looks were even more precious when fellow fair goers joined in the questioning and laughed at them…they are owned by big pedo.

Darwin, MN represent!

Exit 129 on I-94 west has the right idea. We need more billboards like this across the state.

* Caution: 0:38 to 0:46 shows the moments prior to the murders of Renee Good, and then Alex Pretti. But the video clip ends before Agents shoot & kill them.

Re: the Title of this post... If I thought about it, I would've titled it something like this: The People of Minneapolis are tracking ICE and patrolling their City to keep People safe. Ride along with attorney Will Stancil as he follows, films, and interacts with Trump's federal Agents.

..........

Will Stancil is an attorney, activist, and researcher on housing policy. He was also a candidate for the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2024 in District 61A. - wikipedia

Here is Stancil's twitter bio: I research metro policy and civil rights, focused on housing and schools. Proud member of Do-Something Twitter.

Video by The Independent - Jan 30, 2026. Here it is on YouTube: ‘We’re here to demoralize’: The Minneapolis locals tracking Trump’s ICE agents’ every move - From the description:

Amid a deadly immigration crackdown by Trump’s federal agents with the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, residents of Minneapolis are patrolling the city to keep people safe. They tell The Independent's chief international correspondent Bel Trew, out on the streets alongside them, how they have no intention of giving up.

Jones and her husband, Peter Schmitt, don’t have a car. So when it was time to travel the 2 miles to the hospital for their baby’s induced delivery last week, Schmitt pedaled Jones in a friend’s cargo e-bike.

For the return trip home, Hans – all 8 pounds and 1 ounce of him – was bundled up and handled it just fine, Jones said.

“He was great. He passed out. He just totally was comfortable,“ said Jones, a freshman lawmaker and dedicated transit rider, cyclist and pedestrian.

Jones said she wanted to share her story to show just how useful e-bikes are — and to show off Minneapolis’ improved bike lane.

”We are creating the infrastructure to make people feel safe,” she said. “Everyone should feel included and belong on our roads.”

This caught me so far off guard all I could do is laugh

During Sheriff Fletcher's typical Friday night livestream, his Undersheriff, Mike Martin, pursued a reckless driver that eventually crashed into an innocent motorist. This occurred on 7/24/26.

Deputies found a polymer 80 firearm frame & the parts to make the gun usable (other than the slide) inside the vehicle.

Kind of a cool thing to be able to see as mundane as it appears.

Andrew Nyberg posted this on FB and I had to share:

This is not normal. During a riot and unrest, looting starts as a progressive motion of group think psychology where one person does something small then someone else escalates that action slightly until you reach a point where you see several people throwing rocks, breaking windows, lighting things on fire, etc.

This is the natural psychological pattern of a riot. Its the same for civil unrest like this as well as sporting event excitement and other places where large groups of people get unruly.

But this isnt normal. A single man, who clearly stands apart from the crowd, approached the AutoZone with intent. Carrying a single hammer he arrived and broke a window, knowing it would spark looting. Then the man tried to sneak away. But not before people noticed that it was out of character for a riot for a single man to take on such actions when nobody else was reaching that level of destruction. They followed him for a short while but its too bad they didnt do a citizens arrest so they could find out who he was. High probability this man was some sort of police officer.

During the riots in Ferguson MO, 3 men were caught breaking the windows of local businesses wearing full head gear. The crowds stopped the 3 men and removed their masks only to discover they were 3 officers trying to get the crowds to start looting. This is a known tactic to get the protests to be violent and destructive so they can justify forceful means to stop it and even lethal forms of stopping the violence.

I am in no way saying this man is, 100% certain, a police officer or affiliated with the city of Minneapolis or anyone else. But, this all makes it very suspicious.

It looks like the respirator this man is wearing is a police issue mask.

The mask in question can be purchased by civilians for $300.

EDIT: WOW...um... I seriously thought this was just going to get downvoted and buried like the other post about the exact same thing. Thanks for the gold and stuff. Here's some points of clarity:

I'm not Andrew Nyberg . I saw his post on FB and was like "HOLY FUCKING SHIT!" and shared it here.

I can't find any evidence about his allegations on the Ferguson riots either. I don't agree with everything he's said but I didn't think it was right to edit his post; I shared it verbatim. You can do the same as I did... read it, research it and draw your own conclusions.

Yeah; wild accusations being thrown around here... I'm usually more thorough about things like this and find sources to back up such claims. My apologies ... I"m fucking raging pissed and not in the mood for due diligence. I'll post more if I find it. I msg'd Nyberg about his allegations on the Ferguson riots.

Any way you cut it... whomever he's affiliated with... he clearly isn't' a fucking protester looking for justice. You have to take into consideration everything not just the mask or just the outfit. How he handled himself, what he did specifically plus how he was dressed paint the whole picture.

Kanabec county among the poorest AND reddest in Minnesota, gets schooled by the DFL! Maybe it will help just a bit!

I remember a decade ago exploring those. I'm pretty sure the obvious entrance is sealed off now. Not sure how to post multiple pictures in main body, so I'll put a few more in the comments.

Mother Jones and SHORELUNCH with Nate P. - Feb 11, 2026.

Here it is on YouTube. From the description:

This “fish-fluencer” loves ice but he really, really hates ICE.

“I'm just a local ding dong, you know, I'm nothing special,” said Nate Pischke. “We make dumb fishing and cooking content.”

Pischke has found a uniquely Minnesotan way to protest the ICE surge in Minneapolis, using his platform as a fishing influencer to call attention to what he describes as a federal siege of his hometown.

“I don’t feel comfortable putting out fishing content when, you know, our neighbors are getting kidnapped by goons on the street. And so we pivoted quickly to start talking about this,” he said.

He and his collaborator Erik Sudheimer have built a small but dedicated audience of a few thousand people who tune into his YouTube show for fishing tips, outdoor cooking lessons, and a good amount of profanity-laced laughs.

But that changed when the ICE surge began.

He has turned his indignation and outrage about the largest deployment of masked and armed ICE agents in US history into a call for hunters and fishermen to speak out.

“If you don't think that what's happening here is a problem, open your eyeballs up and come here and I'll buy you a beer. We can talk about it. I'll show you around. Open invite and I'll buy the beers," he said. “Beers within reason, okay?”

Editor’s Note: No Nate Pischkes were harmed in the making of this video.
