For those outside the Twin Cities, the person posting this GoFundMe is a member of Minneapolis city council (and among the many locals doing absolutely heroic resistance to ICE), so it's legit.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

There’s official science, and there’s immortal science

A major coalition is launching a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow, aimed at pushing out ICE. It includes: -Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005 -The MN AFL-CIO -SEIU Local 26 -UNITE HERE Local 17 -CWA Local 7250 -Saint Paul and Minneapolis Federations of Educators -Faith leaders And more. 🧵

oh one more silly Netherlands observation is that I get embarrassed every time i need to order something cuz i feel like I should be doing it in dutch (which i don't speak)

End of thread 🧵

This should be boosted regardless if you're anywhere near Minnesota. Since organizing general strikes is something that should already be on the minds of Americans across the entire country, might as well talk about and support any where they may be popping up.

oh i have more brain waves, sorry im feeling talkative and today's been a do nothing day . but im glad i decided to stay in cheap hostels for my visit, ive actually gotten to know some of the people here

I had the very rare opportunity to actually visit the Netherlands for the month to see if I should move here or not and I wanted to talk about it. 1st up I'm aware of what a privilege it is to be able to do something like this at all. 🧵

🚨 “Shut everything down”: Amid federal invasion, Minnesota calls for mass strike on Jan. 23 I spoke with 3 union members & organizers in the Twin Cities about the situation on the ground in Minnesota, and about the mass strike this Friday. @therealnews.com therealnews.com/shut-everyth...

its a long article but has a lot of worth while suggestions.

reposting so i can check it out later, also ai, its the most useless thing ever

I've started printing portable water bottle based eye wash stations too (www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...) in addition to whistles. I'll be bringing 10 to Strike ICE on Friday the 23rd for those who need.

ive always loved this little art story

Just a reminder that our politicians have names and addresses.

SEIU, which represents nearly 2 million workers around US, are holding Friday actions in solidarity with the Minnesota economic blackout, from the Twin Cities to Orlando, to Columbus, to Phoenix, to Seattle, to Boston, to LA, to New York.

I saw lieden in the netherlands today, it was really cool

Some other recs

god damn it the fucker is still alive (in minecraft)

A call to action on the 23rd from our Chicago chapter‼️‼️

"What the bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave-diggers. Its fall and the victory of the proletariat are equally inevitable." - Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels

"We have to fight to save democracy!" OK, but can you vote at your workplace? Your apartment complex? Your neighborhood block? Can you decide your wages or your rent? Do you get to have a say in whether cops and soldiers get more money every year or whether they come into your schools?

This post isn’t about Star Wars.

i know i'm posting a lot today but also i'm finally realizing that my trans ass finally passes so that's cool ^^

i'm having to remind myself over and over again that getting my ass to safety is a perfectly valid response to everything that's going on

I haven't really been expressing how I've felt about whats going in the usa not because of anything about the Netherlands but because I'm worried about re-entry, that should tell you something

300 characters is absolutely not enough to express yourself when you've got a lot on your mind

they say the dutch are very direct and come off as rude but honestly I've met some of the kindest people here, a new friend just gave me a lead for a place to stay if i decide to move here, I'm crying

while I'm glad I'm outside the usa right now, (visiting the Netherlands was 6 years in the making) but deep down I'm feeling a major pull to help my community out and fight back. as a trans woman who couldn't walk even as recently as last year I'm not sure how smart of a move that is tho

as much as I've enjoyed the Netherlands I'm honestly starting to think that the fighting back is the thing I need to do for 2026. its a scary prospect but thats where im at

Not only that, but the violent military occupation model that's been employed in Los Angeles, DC, Chicago, parts of North Carolina, and now Minneapolis is being exported to every part of the country. If you haven't experienced it yet, you will soon. Don't wait to fight back.

Been thinking about this moment from a Bug's Life lately.

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.

if i didn't have to go back to the usa i don't think i would and i really think id be prudent to do everything within my ability to leave once i do go back. as much as i want to fight for my community, i have to remind myself that im a part of a very vulnerable group

Minnesota appears to be in gear for a mass uprising. Unions, community organizations, faith leaders, and small businesses there are calling for a statewide day of “no work (except for emergency services), no school, and no shopping” on January 23 @lfelizleon.bsky.social reports 🧵1/7

“We're not going to shop. We're not going to work. We're not going to school on Friday, January 23. Some people call that a strike,” said JaNaé Bates Imari of Camphor Memorial United Methodist Church. “For many of us, this is our right to refusal until something changes.” 7/7

do the same in solidarity with the people of Minnesota

Minneapolis is headed towards something resembling a general strike, if you were wondering how the campaign to cow working people into quiescence is going

no, i don't want to go back to the us and i wish i didn't have to

Working in a spirit of proletarian internationalism, labor unions can bring much more to the fight against capital than just needed improvements in pay and working conditions. Unionized workers, think about how your industry & workplace supports oppression & how your union's activity can combat it.

Following the ICE murder of Renee Good and an assault on the state by federal immigration forces, a labor-community coalition is calling for residents to refuse to work, shop or go to school on January 23.

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

having spent two weeks in the Netherlands now, i can tell you that if i were to move here my life would improve by every single metric save one (which is my pre existing community) given how things are going tho i sincerely think its in my best interest to at least genuinely try

by its very nature capitalism cannot continue, just watching some windows 11 crashout videos really sends that message home, its kind of crazy honetly

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org
