Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

It's always been about the richest getting richer

This is precisely what polling places were like for part of the 19th century. People often traveled long distances by horse to vote. It was a big deal when folks got together this way.

Happy Valentine's Day, world. Keep being a good neighbor. youtu.be/h2e3regduB0

The people, in fact, do have the power.

This. All of this.

Age verification? I can't tell you how many times I have died of dysentery.

1. Stop calling it law enforcement. It's ethnic cleansing 2. Stop the paid agitator nonsense. You couldn't pay us enough money to take care of our neighbors. Not only are we happy to do it for free, everyone is contributing their own time, talent, and treasure to keep us safe.

@governorwalz.mn.gov bring back the daily briefings

As news coverage ebbs but reports from the streets indicate Operation Metro Surge is still surging, I’m surprised there’s not some kind of official report/press conference every day, like we used to get during Covid. Just the best update they have on what happened today? I think I am being naive.

In my professional life, I've long advocated for the inherent power of self-organizing teams. Never has that been affirmed more than in the collective action of the Twin Cities. A fantastic, practical, useful, and hopeful summary by @dessadarling.bsky.social www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This. This right here.

Just, in some deep way, the kinda people who sign up for this.

"It aggrieves me greatly when people say empathy is a new age word, invented — and no, it's not. It's the absolute fundamental basis of my politics. And always has been. If socialism isn't organized empathy, I don't know what it is." www.thecurrent.org/feature/2026...

They have always been the guys you knew in school that never paid attention and wielded their chortling ignorance as a cudgel

The suburban observers, heavily women, say they share a personality type. “Many of us have encountered bullies our entire lives...I think that turns you into somebody that, even if that bully is wearing full tactical gear, I'm not interested in laying down for you.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

For those keeping score at home:

A+ sunrise in Saint Paul today. Top notch

"... I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love. La da da DAT DAAAA..."

I'm going to need this to be talked about daily, local news needs to bring this up any time they talk about Demuth. Let's put it on billboards, make some ads. "Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth said Monday that her caucus steered YouTube creator Nick Shirley to day care sites in Minnesota"

lol. LMAO. ✊

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

A judge has ordered the release of Twin Cities independent journalist Georgia Fort this afternoon, rejecting the U.S. government’s claims that her allegations constitute a crime of violence that necessitate keeping her detained.

Ah, shit. Catherine O'Hara, Schitt's Creek, Home Alone Star, Dead at 71 people.com/catherine-oh...

Along with independent journalist Georgia Fort. Don’t let her be written out of this.

Fantastic roundup by @minnpost.bsky.social of a growing body of music capturing the present/history through which we are living. www.minnpost.com/arts-culture...

Taking care of your neighbors is universal

👀

My song of resistance for the people of Minneapolis - St Paul is now available to stream on these platforms bbragg.lnk.to/cityofheroes

And it's impossible to pretend like it isn't happening

Lying liar lying with every breath

Some things to understand about people from Minnesota on here right now, a short thread:

@racketmn.com is the real deal. Worth supporting with follows/subscription (if you're able).

Yes, I like my community and neighbors to be safe from masked paramilitary goons terrorizing us.

"...in theater..." Come again about rhetoric?

Only true thing he's said. Though it might take a bit, justice will come. In this life or the next.

BALONEY!

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

See, the “immigration crisis,” “border emergency” etc - it’s 100% made up. There is NO crisis except panicked, violently racist white people. That’s it. All this suffering and death is caused by that and only by that. The rest is bullshit: an excuse to grab power by a white supremacist regime.

Imagine having Bruce Springsteen AND Billy Bragg release songs about how much you fucking suck and how much the people fighting you rule you within the same 48 hours

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

We want our neighbors home

This is white hot fury in Minnesotan.

This is our reality. Monitor your risk profile and take appropriate steps.

This is a really excellent point. This campaign has been well underway for years

Stay. In. Their. Face.

"The world is a gift we build for each other, friends. Glory to the martyrs who defend the republic."

Evergreen post

Can we please just have @billybragg.bsky.social and @brucespringsteen.net on the Grammys and or heavy rotation on every radio station?
