I read Kelly’s piece again this morning when I woke up at 5 and couldn’t get back to sleep. Which reminds me: here’s something you can do if you’re in the Twin Cities. Registration link for the training organized by Unidos MN on Feb 6: secure.everyaction.com/I89jws9qnkyv...

Today and tomorrow! Winter supply drive at Duck Duck Coffee, any winter and camping gear helps! Have a chill weekend, go get a coffee with someone you like, and help your unhoused neighbors ❤️

I will probably be able to extend our motel stay until Tuesday or Wednesday. That means we will be on the street just in time for Thanksgiving. Please help us with a repost of this thread! Linked the USA Today story we were featured in. We need some help with a signal boost! @eve6.bsky.social

Hey friends - we have been running out of tents, sleeping bags, and tarps every single week and it's getting colder. We know of at least one camp getting evicted this week. If you can help, $ goes farthest but you can also bring winter clothes and secondhand tents to any of our drop spots!

Workers at all three Mississippi Markets in St Paul are unionizing under UFCW 1189. Links here for ways to support the workers, including signing a petition or attending upcoming co-op meetings. linktr.ee/marketunion

Supply depot and community kitchen are basically the Last line of defense against Freys Shock Troops. Please share both widely and help if you can.

PLEASE help, Community Kitchen is incredible and reliable and even when Open Collective disbanding meant they couldn't get donations they were still doing everything in their capacity to help, I am in awe of them

My husband is probably going to be released from the psych ward today, and I am trying desperately to get him into a long-term facility, but they are all prohibitively expensive. Please share, support, or donate—every action counts. gofund.me/dc9a74d9

I remember being on Twitter and watching people decide en masse that getting covid to be endemic was a goal because at that point it would just be normal and thus no big deal

Sanctuary Supply Depot is providing peanut butter sandwiches to an encampment once a week. $20 buys one week. I just signed up for a $20 recurring on their Open Collective. Can anyone match me with a one time or recurring $20? opencollective.com/sanctuarysup...

The city of Minneapolis has a low-cost tree program that closes up for the year in a couple weeks. $30 per tree if you're looking to replace one taken out by this year's storms (and I think it's also intended for areas with fewer trees in general) www.mprnews.org/story/2024/0...

Many many tents were destroyed (see: a tree falling on someone), if you can help please check out donation links at supplydepotmpls.com!

The list itself is long but just a water bottle and composition books are left in the highest priority items for back to school. Between a donation I received to buy other supplies locally and folks sending some of the other items, we're almost there! Thank you all! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

My niece is the first of my sister’s five kids to get into college and get off the reservation. They have like, no money for stuff for her dorm room. I can’t afford to buy out her wishlist, but if you have a few extra bucks and want to pitch in, it would be amazing. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

My hometown’s river is no longer flammable because of public policy! And our lake (Erie) was once considered dead and now it is slowly recovering, thanks largely to environmental regulations. Public policy works, pass it on.

Minnesotans asking how to help dislocated Rainbow Health workers who just abruptly lost their income & medical insurance: Latifah needs urgent help. gofund.me/ef8b9a99 Every little bit you can donate will make a huge difference. Could you donate or share to spread the word? Thanks a lot!

While I'm somewhat in favor of traffic cameras for speed enforcement, a system of speed cameras is not entirely race-blind like their proponents suggest. Unsafe streets that encourage speeding are most often placed in neighborhoods with lower incomes.

Karam is in Deir-al-Balah a supposed safe area that is under heavy bombardment right now. ❤️

If we can make $900 by tomorrow we can double the amount of tents available at tomorrow's pop-up, and it still won't be enough but it will save some lives. Help if you can, the cruelty is overwhelming right now

Someone is recruiting for the cult I grew up in at the next table in this coffee shop. I want to get up and yell “don’t join, eventually you’ll believe that you can remember your own birth and that sugar and ibuprofen is the opiate of the masses!”

I know the asks and the needs are endless but @jamalzuhir.bsky.social has had to leave his home with 13 people and 2 tents and may not be able to get on Bluesky anymore and if you have $5 to spare could you possibly give today? Hoping to have the money raised when the Rafah crossing opens

Fellow covid-cautious Minneapolitans: Total Solace Massage on Lake St. Mischa & Sasha wear & require masks, they're queer & trans, & they're *genuinely top tier* massage therapists. Go give them your money if you can.

Trader Joe’s United said it’s *not* calling for a customer boycott at this time in response to the company arguing the NLRB is unconstitutional. But they *are* asking people to sign a customer strike pledge if they call for a boycott in the future. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/forms/stand-...

unlike glaze, though, you should run EVERY image you post through nightshade: memes, screenshots, food photos, literally everything you can, because they WILL be scraped and every time they are, it fucks the dataset up a bit more

If you have them, we need warm clothes and especially coats and boots. Drop offs are Arbeiter Brewing, Modist Brewing, b Resale, Duck Duck Coffee, Boneshaker Books, and Indigenous Food Lab ❤️

This is what BIPOC mean when we say a lot of Europeans and Americans support Ukrainians and not Palestinians bc of whiteness. Borders quickly show who is racialized and how

Hey y’all, I’m maintaining a modlist specifically for antiblackness and transmisogynoir, The Pit. I have some help behind the scenes as well, but feel free to @ me with their name and what they did in order to have someone added going forward. Reskeet this for general awareness, please 💖

Target run successful & we're working overtime to help in a way that they feel safe & supported & know that their best interests are top priority. There will be more incidentals, but meeting the initial $500 means we'll have covered most of this past week's needs. $450/$500 V: HumanHummingbird

If y’all can donate to or share Roman’s GFM, I’d really appreciate it. They’re the one I drove down from DC to Tennessee to pick up after their family kicked them out on Christmas, but we need to get them stuff like a bed, replacing most of their clothes, and other stuff we couldn’t fit in my car.
