With employees afraid to work and customers fearful, Minneapolis businesses are losing $10 million to $20 million in sales a week, according to city estimates.

two shitposting Bluesky mutuals secretly pine for each other Skeeted Rivalry

Woke up with an alarm. Can't get back to sleep. This sucks

I wish I could interview the artist behind this

The odds I have a nervous breakdown at work two days in a row are yes

Jesus fucking Christ Schumer.

Half hearted awoo

Elizabeth is a Columbia Heights fourth-grader who loves volleyball, learning English and giggling in the halls with her friends. She's been held in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center for nearly a month, and she and her mom have both fallen ill. sahanjournal.com/education/co...

I found out today that one of the largest firms in the state has >10% of their attorneys working basically full time on habeas petitions. If you aren't in the legal industry, that's basically unprecedented. And our bar is still in the early stages of mobilizing. The full efforts have yet to begin.

What's the gift type for a 720th anniversary?

ICE is still here, surrounding schools in Columbia Heights today after Liam was returned. Noem announced that ICE will be issued body cameras. This shows that we’re winning & that we can’t let up. Let your representatives know you don’t support funding ICE and that they need to leave immediately.

“All over my neighborhood we keep finding empty cars, the glass shattered into diamonds on the snow, the people missing. Tiny private automotive kristallnachts, everywhere and ongoing.”

It’s SO much fucking worse. But talking about just makes people go, lol no you’re exaggerating. Fuck, I wish I was. 😤

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

We did it. We made it to February

I am so sick of helicopters

For those not in Minnesota, we've seen no evidence of a drawdown here since Bovino left. They're still abducting our neighbors every day.

Struggling to find the words to express the experience, honestly

BREAKING: Tenants across Minneapolis and Saint Paul have just launched a Twin Cities tenant union, citing the fact that their cities are under siege, and saying they need to band together to protect one another. linktr.ee/twincitieste...

Oh, here's a fun thing about Minnesota you might not know right now. Fast food lobbies are closed in a lot of places. Drive-thru only. Because of ICE.

This recall centers on small community groceries in Minneapolis, spread the word so people don’t get sick!

"A U.S. Customs and Border Patrol employee was charged with drunken driving in St. Paul after a state trooper found him passed out in a car Tuesday morning 'covered in vomit.'"

I finally got to talk to someone at work a little bit, someone who isn't here. They offered to fly out here to bring me groceries. I couldn't take them up on it, but just the offer left me broken

We’re all stressed out, being kept up all night by helicopters, watching our neighbors get abducted while working our asses off trying to stop it from happening, and trying to parent and do our jobs while under siege. Please give your friends and colleagues in MN some grace right now. It’s a lot.

I am so damn tired

Mutual aid but for several more hours of sleep

Most Minnesota-ass graffiti I've ever seen (B&N at HarMar lol)

Sounds like it's time to bring this back. (Skyline and model of chopper may not be right, but it gets the point across.)

This part. A thousand examples of this around the Twin Cities.

Every time I talk to someone outside of Minnesota, we always spend time on *really* basic things they have don’t understand about what is happening here. So let’s do a Q&A. What are your most basic questions about what’s going on in Minnesota?

all my packages got stolen while I was witnessing an ICEnapping on the way home from work. the enormous uninsured bill from the dentist was not lost, of course. yay. if you need me I will be facedown somewhere dark where i can cry

@mostlybree.kitrocha.com I just.. this is for you 😂

According to one Safe Haven volunteer I spoke with, people are not receiving medical care inside Whipple. They’re being denied access to medication, emerging with bruises and lumps. Some abductees are released in subzero temperatures t-shirts or shorts. Everyone’s phones get seized.

I wish I could give credit to the artists for these. If someone knows, speak up! #ANewOpe

The march is now passing the Chicago city hall / Cook County hall building. The chant goes up, "Minnesota don't you fear, we, the people, are right here"

Not to be normal for a second but, instead of spending billions on rapacious tech, what if we invented an epi-pen that didn't require "room temperature" to stay functional? Because both winter and summer exist beyond "room temperature" and anaphylaxis really isn't fun.

Data point: Today’s editorial in the daily newspaper based in Minneapolis calls for a “pause,” and a letter from 100 Minnesota CEOs calls for “de-escalation.” Neither goes so far as to demand an end to Operation Metro Surge.

The whole interview is worth it

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

"Remain peaceful." You mean like taking our kids to school? Watching out for our neighbors? Leaving school for the day? Going to and from work? Supporting local businesses? Because you're standing by and watching them poison and murder us for doing each and every one of those peaceful things.

Does everyone have a warm bed? Does everyone have enough to eat? Does everyone have a place to be safe? Whose getting snatched in the night? - Junauda Petrus, "Ritual on How to Love Minneapolis Again"

Castile's family established the Philando Castile Relief Foundation to help children with "school lunch debt" (a concept that doesn't exist in more evolved countries), until eventually a Democratic trifecta under Governor Walz enacted free lunches for all MN school kids regardless of income. 2/X
