  • How Seattle Could Be Better: How the Twin Cities Organized. Plus, What Counts As ‘Cold’?

    How Seattle Could Be Better: How the Twin Cities Organized. Plus, What Counts As ‘Cold’?
    Feb 14 2026
    All eyes have been on the Twin Cities lately, including Seattleites’. Operation Metro Surge is reportedly ending in Minnesota, with the withdrawal of immigration agents expected over the next week. Over the last two months, though, residents of the Twin Cities have organized a range of local collective action efforts including protests, mutual aid, and monitoring ICE — and they’ve done it quickly. In this inaugural episode of “Your City Could Be Better,” City Cast CEO David Plotz talks with City Cast Twin Cities podcast host Sean McPherson about how his community self-organized, why these networks have been so successful, and what other cities can take away from Minnesotans’ response to Operation Metro Surge. Plus, we have a D.C. vs. Twin Cities face-off on local cultural norms. We also mentioned this episode of City Cast Twin Cities. Is there something your city is doing that we should be talking about?
