So to make this absolutely clear: When a pastor takes on a role outside the church that harms immigrants in direct contradiction to Christ's teachings, it is HE who has profaned the church. It is HE who has destroyed the sacred. Not those who would call the church to account.

This protester is Sue and is in our Rapid Response over North and she is out there every day keeping witnesss

This is so niche Minnesotan but I hope this moment will teach us to say "excuse me" and also to introduce ourselves and continue to say hi far beyond a federal invasion.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

Finding out

So fellow Minnesotans, we are ignoring the N8zi march right?

What we are experiencing is 25x of the Midway Blitz.

a few things I want people to get from this: -how tense it is here. I was death-gripping the steering wheel during this, even watching it makes me tense up -how organized the community is. the rapid response networks are ENORMOUS and highly effective -how completely the city is united against ICE

Hello!! We are asking for your help and generosity to keep our neighbors fed, housed, and supported. We are hoping to cover the cost of rent, utilities, groceries, medical expenses, and other financial needs these families may face in the coming weeks and months. gofund.me/de94f04bc

Instead of shopping there, I urge everyone to consider supporting small businesses and family-owned grocery stores in our community instead. Support small businesses who have been devastatingly impacted by immigration enforcement. Jason Chavez 3/

As the Council Member who represents this area, I am calling on Target to speak up, take action to make its parking lot and stores safe, and to be on the right side of history. 2/

Dear neighbor, It’s become common practice for ICE to stage its operations at the Target parking lot on East Lake Street. While immigration officials tear families apart, Target corporation is silent and makes its workers and customers feel unsafe. 1/

Brainstorming ways I can organize myself and other therapists to help in this moment. Would love input from folks as I organize.

As a Minneapolis local I am begging you NOT to donate to the Star Tribune. They are a mouthpiece for police, corporations, and conservatives who repeat those voices unquestioningly.

The reason these folks know about judicial warrants are because of the incredible organizing happening here.

I am so deeply grateful to the Black and brown organizers and neighbors of Minneapolis for what they have built here. Without them, none of this care and love happen.

The difference between how Iranian protesters are being talked about compared to myself and my neighbors is *crazy making*.

Please read and share with anyone who might be planning on counterprotesting in Cedar-Riverside this weekend

I really wish I had signed up for that class in grad school - "Clinical Interventions for a Federal Takeover". I also missed "Therapeutic Sustainability for a Facist State".

The surge of DHS agents into Minnesota has done tremendous harm to the people of Minnesota, and I urge those who have personally experienced or directly witnessed that harm to share their stories with my office. To submit a report, visit: ag.state.mn.us/Federal-Action/

My entire work week: Client discussed feelings of dread and sorrow. Trying to remember being a helper and a container for others is part of this fight when I don't have the energy to be on foot.

Getting out into community truly is the antidote. It’s beyond powerful.

I hope you will come out to this tonight. You don't have to be in twenty signal chats to show up.

What a horrible, unnecessarily tragic and exhausting day, even by the standards of our daily horrors. The level of hatred that permits an officer to unload a clip on a woman point blank in broad daylight, while ultimately the act of an individual, is the natural outcome of systems that enabled him.

Worth noting that Minnesota Public Radio is NOT doing that. They're interviewing people on the ground, chasing down witnesses and facts, and treating ICE statements with the appropriate amount of skepticism.

Mayor Jacob Frey: "They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I want to tell everybody directly that is bullshit."

MINNEAPOLIS ICE SHOOTING CW details: Shots and shouts of outrage can be heard, but neither the victim nor any blood is visible.

Organizers in Twin Cities making rare plea for folks to share broadly: ICE ops have changed & escalated this week. They've moved to a 'flood-the-zone' strategy, nabbing anyone they can from bus stops, the sidewalk, cars, or homes. This means indiscriminate abductions and obviously no warrants.

Feeling a lot of rage at the protest non-voters right about now.

Hey.

I don’t know how to grieve as a Jew without being perceived as a Zionist and I don’t know how to keep my grief quiet and be perceived as a self hating Jew. I wish I could grieve loudly and speak against this terrifying weekend without my anti-Zionist values being questioned.

Please call your senator if they are here. I just left @amyklobuchar.com a message.

Send me your favorite couch co-op games for PS5 that aren’t Split Fiction or It Takes Two.

We’re closing in on two decades of Republicans telling you, in no uncertain terms, that they do not care about kids being shot dead. In schools, in movie theaters, at church, in the street. They. Do. Not. Care. But hey, at least they’re good at racism and destroying the economy, amirite.

ICE out in S Mpls again today. No reported detentions so far from these. We're seeing various cars, illegal license plate covers. Noticing they're not staying in one place very long (<10min) & scatter at whistles/honking. Seems like response test + avoidant of our known ability to mobilize.

NYT cookie week is beyond unhinged this year.

The eternal Minneapolis question of “has my street been plowed yet or did folks just ignore the snow emergency?”

Kinda wish I was still in my Saturn return or whatever cuz it would explain a lot of shit in my life right now. Reader, I’m closer to 40 than not.

One of my friends just referred to Sydn*y Sween*y as “Titty Kl*n Lady”.

I’m making brisket at 8a.

A stunner of a new cookbook.

I’m genuinely uninterested in if you are on or off a fitness wagon. I don’t care. Do whatever you want.

This is very niche Minnespolis but I’m in my rage stage of grief over Lake Street becoming one lane each way.

I made the mistake of posting on the Scream subreddit tonight.

Just had my final supervision and I am officially a fully licensed therapist ✨🥹

People who want the city to be different continuously vote for Jacob who has been mayor for 8 years and made the city what it is today. …… …… Ur dumb. lol.

Jacob Frey bought the mayor’s seat with dirty, right wing money, and by leveraging the racism and Islamophobia Minneapolis does so well.

I hope Debra Messing leaves New York.
