Can this narcissistic little pissant get off his press tour for five fucking seconds and do some actual politics????

@governorwalz.mn.gov rent is due today. You are not powerless. You can minimize these abductions and violence to residents of this state by letting people shelter-in until this federal occupation is over. Enact an eviction moratorium now.

"microtransactions in games started by cabal of pedophile elites for the purpose of indoctrinating kids into an economy" Ok. Well, we all knew it was evil somehow but I really didn't expect Epstein to be responsible for why video games are bad now. That's just not what I would've thought.

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo

How are you supposed to explain to people how this entire social, political, and economic reality is entirely downstream from anime getting banned on some dipshit's forum 25ish years ago

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year! Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him. He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary. His health is declining. Public outrage might save his life. Say his name:

Goddamn dude. Two weeks straight.

Bovino's gone but it's not over: they're ramping up. They're going to use Fort Snelling for "parking approximately 300-500 vehicles . . . a ready room space for 500-800 CBP personnel . . . access to a magazine to store munitions."

Current status of the fundraisers for those killed by ICE: Renee Good: $1,499,580 Alex Pretti: $1,289,249 Keith Porter, Jr. $302,423 Parady La: $45,848 Heber Sanchez Dominguez: $47,991 Luis Beltrán Yanez Cruz: $18,640 Victor Manuel Diaz: $2,538 Geraldo Lunas: $2,260 Luis Gustavo Núñez: $1,935

A lot more people should know about the bravery Marimar Martinez displayed in the midst of Chicago’s occupation and the murder of two observers in MSP. They tried to kill her, shooting her 5 times, and it’s a miracle she’s alive to push for transparency like this after being persecuted by the DOJ.

Quite a lot of people, including myself, fell for this in 2020, when 60% of the Minneapolis city council held a press conference saying explicitly that they were going to defund the police They did not end up doing that!

Antifa ranking commander, accountant, and suburban winemom Karen Davis greeted the news, stating “the fog of war has lifted and revealed that Greg Bovino is wet little bitch. Anyway, we will detonate 26 of their arms depots tomorrow.”

This is more evidence that they know the ship is going down. Pushing women as the face of how dumb the company is so then they can blame them. Like when companies have a big scandal and quickly hire a female ceo and the push a bunch of horrendous shit, fire her, and not change the horrendous shit.

they’re punishing us to keep the Feds safe.

Might be offline for a while. If you can be outside, see you outside. If you can't, I tried to share everything useful I want to share in a single link: (1) specific calls to action; (2) a few artist-specific resources; (3) MN writers/poets I'd like to amplify. It's all at guante.info/try.

It’s fuck the national guard too

Part of why you don’t bring a protest into the fucking Target center!

STREAMERS OUT OF MINNEAPOLIS

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Help bring 2-Year-Old Chloe & Her Father Home. They were kidnapped today in South Minneapolis. With the permission of the mother, we are reaching out to raise funds for lawyer fee’s, food, bond requests, rent, livability, & resources to keep this family together. gofund.me/6295b51b3

Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family. gofund.me/be8a1b2ab

I can’t help but worry that this is meant to distract from other kidnappings happening around town.

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link. DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS. This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it! Stay frosty, friends.

I will think about this poem until I'm dead.

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.

Hey folks Calvary Food Shelf has been helping out people in Minneapolis for 30 years, and now they’re ramping up to meet the crisis, including doing home deliveries so people don’t have to risk going out. They’re just over halfway to their current goal—let’s get them all the way, shall we?

Hilariously low turnout from the “take back America” crowd as always

It's basically a line by line parody of @lukeoneil47.bsky.social

For the morning crowd: the full notes/slides/report-back from last night’s workshop on how artists can respond to this moment BEYOND our art. Even if you couldn’t make it, there is some really useful, practical stuff in the notes:

For ease of navigation and sharing, I have turned my little list into a website: standwithminnesota.org

Apparently this cycle never gets old for Frey supporters and voters, like him crying at George Floyd’s casket, then running against folks who wanted to hold MPD accountable. Frey is a flimsy man with no actual values besides his own shine.

They’re arresting random people and trying to coerce them into giving protesters up IN EXCHANGE FOR “HELPING OUT” UNDOCUMENTED FAMILY It was never NEVER about immigration

if you are doing actions that could be viewed as illegal (what is a lot of actions right now) it is best to keep as much of that offline as possible. don't document things, don't keep notes you don't need, don't look up directions to where you are going, don't collect data you don't need.

From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

MS NOW(MSNBC) shows a slide "A decade of Tragedy":

Remember this response next time our piss baby mayor pretends like he’s “against ICE in Minneapolis” who does he actually want to “get the fuck out”?

🚨🚨🚨🚨 Really important, please share with Southside neighbors that might have video or other evidence from 34th & Portland murder. Since the Feds won’t cooperate, Henn County is collecting evidence from the public. I trust Mary Moriarty office more than any other. This goes directly to them. ⬇️

And Renee Good’s last words appear to be “We’re not mad at you.”

@klobuchar.senate.gov Just a useless evil husk of a human being. She’ll hurl a fucking stapler at an intern for brining the coffee 1 minute late, but can still vote in lockstep with the guys that murdered one of her constituents. Absolute fucking ghoul.

Mariame Kaba said to do a small act of kidness today. Choose anything, but do something. See the good. I am going to take that direction. I am going to find kindling for my last ember of hope. I refuse to go cold. I refuse to give up my softness when I know it is all that will save me.

Only laugh I’ve had all day

I'm already seeing people on here use AI face tools to try to identify the masked ICE agent in Minneapolis. It's a truly terrible idea and here's why

Mpls Parents are raising funds for families at South HS impacted by ICE raids. Money will go towards food, necessary supplies, and rental assistance. We appreciate your love and solidarity during these difficult times. ❤️ Please share widely with friends and family! gofund.me/e32d501a3

The answer, for those wondering, is that MPD would rather let the feds make this go away than actually defend the city they work in.

That this asshole is walking around in jeans really drives home how ICE is populated with a bunch of amateurs who get high on terrorizing and, now, killing Americans.

Order the police to arrest them, then. Order the police to drive them from the state or these are just words from a boy mayor trying to sound like a big man.

ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims. Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!
