Nonprofit “affordable housing” providers showing up to testify against Pause Eviction Saves Lives is just further highlighting the way in which nonprofits & foundations have completely failed to meet this moment. This is why we need actual social safety nets, not the Nonprofit Industrial Complex.

Spring update: the Cole Anthony trading card at my bus stop has emerged from the snow

Today is the last day of February and rent is DUE. I'm working with @ziibiing.com at Stand With Minnesota to raise funds to pay rents for ICE impacted families. You can send funds to me V: colocharachel $:ColochaRachel OR submit a form to adopt a rent: www.standwithminnesota.com/adoptarent 🌻🌻

Stopped by Maya tonight after a full day of work at the Capitol where we’re working to help everyone recover from this ICE invasion. Make sure you’re reaching out to your legislators to support my bills to fund rental assistance and extend the pre-eviction notice required from 14 to 30 days.

@twincitiestoiletpaperreviews.com would you like to weigh in on

alright folks the conclusion is that this intersection is just poorly designed! use your blinkers though

Waymo in Como creating a personal right turn lane on 15th Ave SE 🙄. And no blinker!

Emergency healthcare funds needed: A Twin Cities 18-yr old student, w/ parents unable to work because of ICE, suddenly diagnosed with leukemia. She is uninsured, has huge bills, and can't help support her family. Please help if you can. (I confirm this is genuine) www.gofundme.com/f/support-an...

every time I hear “administrative warrant” I think of this post from my cousin’s blog in 2020

vulnerable community members have been forgoing medical care— including for the treatment of eating disorders btw

knitting a hat would take me maybe 2-3 evenings? idk what others are doing with the hats but I’ve raised $200+ from knitting headbands

Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

- Las Cuatro Milpas dinner - $25 Hyland Hills night ticket - no lift lines, empty runs - halftime show in the chalet

1) why do landlords believe they should be completely shielded from economic hardship 2) are they so short-sighted that they cannot see that losing a core component of our community will destroy their property values long-term?

the 7 being detoured away from Theo wirth for the loppet events every year pisses me off god forbid I want to take transit there!!

Help support a family suffering after their Father was abducted from Central Ave earlier this week.

Forced screening of Critical Incident: Death at the Border for all elected officials TODAY. We can’t just send CBP back to the border and call it a day. They’ve gotta go too.

this is @bxtchmxmmy.bsky.social ‘s post in partial fulfillment of the requirements to be admitted to the Minneapolis and St. Paul Bluesky Feed

time, energy, and MONEY. imo setting up a home server or purchasing a high-end faraday cage or whatever shouldn’t be a priority for the majority of people. especially if your unrealistic dream of perfect anonymity is delaying you from taking action now. use that money to help others.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

Another murder in Minneapolis at the hands of the federal government. ICE needs to leave our City, and then be abolished immediately.

silly to see the U put up private area signs on doors to already highly restricted rooms but I guess you can’t put it past these buffoons to think their fatigues and guns will protect them from highly pathogenic infectious agents and whatnot

Hundreds of anti-ICE demonstrators are making noise outside the Graduate hotel on the Minneapolis campus of the University of Minnesota. bit.ly/49SpwBk 📷️: Richard Tsong-Taatarii

I’m making headbands btw

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

IM ON THE BUS WITH THE BELL GUY

Anyone in the twin cities know where an individual could acquire new kitchen utensils

We’ve seen a number of people kidnapped this morning in NE, including 2 legal observers taken on Central. @doronclark.bsky.social & I are asking our community to patrol and get outside on our busy corridors to protect neighbors. Get connected to grassroots organizing groups at defend612.com

This fundraiser is 100% on the level and I just donated to it. Please, friends around the country - especially those of you with deep pockets - help this devastated young family. Thank you.

One of my uncles was kidnapped by ICE yesterday. He was always there for my family and even helped my family afford my graduation party when I graduated college. 💔 Anything helps. ICE has no humanity. Hard workers literally being torn from their families. gofund.me/d84e22b46

I’m teaming up with some fellow community members to place a big order with a restaurant that has seen its business disrupted by ICE presence on the south side. And what better way than to get food for neighbors in need? Burritos are about $10 each- please donate to help us provide 50+ meals!

And we’re just supposed to accept their safety report based on data collected under their least aggressive program?

FYI, Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt will be running for re-election in 2026. Filing period starts May 19th and candidates must be licensed as a peace officer in Minnesota. If you know anyone who's qualified and wouldn't suck, maybe recruit them to run?

beyond the critical transportation access, mpls municipal sidewalk plowing would increase access to outdoor recreation. really sucks to not be able to run (safely) through my neighborhood in the winter.

Immigrant owned businesses on Central literally have their doors locked and are having to let people in individually because of all the ICE activity in the neighborhood this morning. Please go to Central Ave and support your neighbors today by giving them business and being out in community.

Last week City Council unanimously strengthened our Separation Ordinance. Yesterday, MPD helped ICE by doing crowd control while they kidnapped neighbors. Mayor Frey continues to let MPD use a loophole to work with ICE and only he can stop what residents witnessed yesterday. buff.ly/gllRzKu

This gofundme is supporitng the family impacted by the ICE raid in Near North on Tuesday. gofund.me/79240ad34

residents at my apartment complex have teamed up to purchase whistles. available to all se como residents! dm me!

The E Hennepin Auto Services snow pile is the sidewalk clearing final boss.

been working really hard the past few weeks on submitting my first first-author manuscript. did I miss anything while I was away, Minneapolis?

Bike lanes coming to E Hennepin this week. (🥳) That’s an extra few feet between this bus stop bench and literal semi trucks.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Waste, fraud, and abuse is the U refusing to bargain in good faith with the Teamsters who take care of our research animals! Animal ordering has been paused for nearly a month. Experiments (on grants that are time-limited) have been delayed. The value of animal care workers is beyond obvious.

using the concept of intelligence to distance oneself from others is a eugenics framework. it also just makes more sense to be specific in stating the root of someone’s actions (i.e racism, homophobia, selfishness, under-education, etc.).

My wonderful friend Anita’s BOYFRIEND is fundraising for Mile in My Shoes (as part of the city of lakes half marathon)! secure.givelively.org/donate/mile-... For more on ❤️Harry & Anita❤️ check out her collection “The Fumbling Guide to Romance for the Older Person” at the LoLa art crawl~~

"Claire Thefaine agreed about feeling unsafe on a bike... “I have not had a single day without an incident that has left me shaken up. It can be grating to hear the people around me discussing standstill traffic on their commute when I fear for my safety and life every day on mine.”

Our painters were hard at work this Wednesday! Keep an eye on the Van Cleve Park Pool Shed as the murals progress 🎨👀
