This is a short conversation Ellen & Marley had with Jarrod Alder before our DFL discussion last episode.
Jarrod was a key organizer of Minneapolis’s Alex Pretti Memorial Ride on January 31st, 2026, held just a few days after Pretti’s murder at the hands of ICE Agents. The ride in Minneapolis saw over 5,000 participants, and there were more than 300 rides around the world.
This is a story of riding as resistance; of how the cycling community came together to honor one of our own, and to take a stand. We hope you take away a feeling of hope, that you are not alone in feeling feelings about what is happening, and that you leave with one example of how everyone can find a way to oppose what’s happening.
As of airing this episode in February, at least six people have been killed by ICE in 2026, and ICE is still active across Minnesota. News outlets report as many as 500 agents are still on the ground, which, while being reported as a draw-down, is still a huge and disruptive presence. For ways to support our neighbors in the north, we’ve linked to a reddit thread with links to dozens of organizations. Nation-wide, you can call your representatives and voice your opposition.
Minnesota still needs us:
