yesterday while on foot patrol I saw some eyes looking at me from under a bench. I investigated and found a Gilmore Girls vinyl and I posted a joke in a signal chat and someone checked it out, determined it was a dumped stolen package, and got it to the address. so uh yeah I think we keep us safe

the absolute least you can do is wear your mask, even if you think you're fine.

"Work won't give me the time off" You've got plenty of time to put in notice!

the "worst of the worst" includes.. people who come out to help with car problems

tbh I do not care who you voted for. I care what you're doing NOW. You are allowed to change. Lots of money was spent on propaganda to make people think they wanted this. If you changed your mind upon seeing it in action, welcome. Unlearning is hard, but I'm cheering for you.

Apparently ICE has taken new vehicle deliveries at Whipple for the past three days. So I think we have to stay vigilant, but it’s equally plausible that ICE is so fucking incompetent that the people in charge never talked to the logistics folks who order the cars.

its actually not too late to have me be your Valentine btw

oh I'd get my MN food handler's certs so fast just to help with this

Yeah, if the CEOs got together with the city to give A LOT of money to small businesses that suffered and to people who need it, that would be acceptable. Anything else is PR rehab and they can fuck right off.

If I were ever rich enough to be rich I would spend that money fast enough to make me unrich again

Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

"ICE operations in Pa. surge under the radar, destroying communities and lives" Harrisburg, Scranton, Erie, Norristown. Even if ICE leaves Minnesota, they still need to be stopped www.pennlive.com/news/2026/02...

my city is occupied by the federal government, these questions right now arent even fair

I already want ICE out of the next city.

The problem with just advocating for ICE to leave Minnesota but not to dismantle it entirely is that they are capable of doing this again, any time, anywhere. Don’t advocate for the harm to continue elsewhere. Advocate for the harm to end everywhere forever.

I have neighbors everywhere and we'll all continue to have neighbors after ICE is dismantled

to those of you in MSP who keep warning people that you usually post about fishing or board games or upcycling or transit, and feel like all the people following you for occupation info will be disappointed: not me I'm so excited to hear about your goals and hobbies and life outside occupation. ily

this morning I am thinking about the queer old woman who, way back in like September, asked me if her next door neighbors were checking their mail bc theyre immigrants and she hadnt seen them in a while and was worried.

yeah to all of this

To everyone thanking me, much appreciated but not why I posted! Pls support your local immigrant defense group like: The Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota: www.ilcm.org/donate/ Or my hometown LUCE: www.lucemass.org/donate Or Google your city/state & “immigrant defense” to find your local heroes!

So it’s a race: how quickly can a person’s family realize they were snatched and find a lawyer, and how quickly can that lawyer get a habeas petition of file? And is that faster than ICE can load the detainee on a plane to Texas? It’s exhausting and terrifying. It can be life and death. 18/

Valentine's Date Idea: 👉🏻👈🏻 Foot patrol with me?

I can transport to anywhere in MSP if someone has a need

I am really grateful to have my next door neighbor on signal so I can quickly have another set of eyes outside my house

The best highway protest art I've seen throughout this winter on Highway 94 going through MPLS. Ice my balls. #icemyballs #mpls

Consider having a "pay what you can" type yard sale (you don't even need to be present!) in front of your house, with proceeds going to the fund of your choice from www.standwithminnesota.com

If you feel like you don't have enough time in your day to possibly help with patrols, consider that even 15min to drive through your own neighborhood makes a difference. You don't even have to stick around if you spot an ICE vehicle- communicate it to the active patrolers and keep going.

Today was a special one for me- one of my former coworkers lived her dream of starting a food truck last year. Unfortunately, with ICE making her neighborhood unsafe, she wasn’t able to operate the truck much the past 6 weeks. But today, we bought 300 tamales from her and got her family $1000.

I’m seeing more and more Minneapolis/Minnesota people naming that they are burned out and I just hope people allow themselves to change their pacing from sprint to marathon or better yet, a relay. Slow down if the alternative is you crashing out and not being able to do anything.

hey folks, it's my turn this week to fund&get groceries for a 12-member household in SE Minneapolis w/several young children. 2 of their 3 income earners have been abducted by ICE. our median cost/week has been about $300.

32 tracks!

I'm proud AF of everyone doing really amazing stuff to help people and this includes especially those of you who can't talk about it. So many things are happening; the public stuff really is the very tip of a cool as hell iceberg that just wants to help people (awww, nice iceberg).

Out again today, and lots of water removal combined with ice chopping. Pro-tip: an ice chopper is also a pretty decent paddle to throw the water onto/over the boulevard. You think it can’t possibly work, but then suddenly the sidewalk is no longer submerged.

I used to walk into daycares and hand the mail to someone at the desk directly. All of them that I've been to in the last month have been locking their doors. It's such a small thing, but it hurts my heart that it has to be this way

Excellent thread and don't miss that last post in it . . . it's like a volunteer staffed ER (and some folks are learning on the job). God, we're tired. (Hang in there, Minnesota. <3 )

It’s day 70 of the ICE occupation of MSP. ICE continues to terrorize our neighbors, there are still 2,000 agents here, even as the attention of the world has moved on. When we say ICE OUT, we mean ICE out everywhere.

when did 60mph start to feel fast to me?? back in TX if you weren't going at least 75, it was basically like crawling

Please don’t forget about us and our neighbors! standwithminnesota.com

Welp, time to tell my friends I'm jumping ship soon

yesterday I had the surreal experience of having someone (who lives here!!) tell me about all the things that they think people should be doing about ICE and I was just like.. that's already going on. All of it, every day. Its not even hard to find at this point

this morning I briefly met @natepentz.bsky.social while doing my ❄️morning errands❄️ so that was cool

This isn’t the point but just want to reiterate that Minneapolis is 350 miles from the nearest border. Your tax dollars.💸 🚁 Being spent on massive surveillance project.

This excerpt is such a perfect encapsulation of this moment. Thinking of it from both sides: An 11-year old living with someone she's known less than a week. And a neighbor housing an 11-year-old they don't know for an indefinite period. The worst and best of what's still happening in Minneapolis.

fuck ICE, btw.

Dispatches from MN: ICE is still here, kidnapping neighbors multiple times a day. There are so few gov attorneys and so many ICE-related rights violations that a sizable chunk of the courts have basically gotten stuck. ICE ignores court orders to release detainees or says they can't find them.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "Great day for a walk, huh?"

Today!

holy fuck the sun feels so good

idc about your immigration status. You're all my postal customers and I love you

If they said 3,000 agents were leaving MN today, I would not fully rejoice. Because those 3,000 would be headed elsewhere. I don’t want them kidnapping ANYONE. I don’t want them breaking up ANY families. I don’t want those 700 headed off to destroy other families! Abolish ICE is the floor.
