I've found myself trying to help a group of 4 families trying to pay rent for February. They need $5500. I can cover most of it, but I'm starting to get tapped out. If anyone can help contribute anything, I'd appreciate it. Venmo: @eikleinbaum

Can we, as Minnesotans, please push to get venmo transfers considered tax deductible this year?

I have yet to experience donor fatigue. Feels more like donor mania.

Got an email saying the MN Orchestra is postponing next week's performance of Peter and the Wolf to October because of ICE. My 4 yr old is going to be devastated. We've been talking about it for months.

I would like to take a rest from my hyperlocal news sources breaking national news, please.

I'll be honest. While I'm glad the Republicans cynically draping themselves in the 2nd amendment is seemingly falling apart, I don't know why you would bring a gun to observe ICE. What's the plan? To get in a gunfight with federal agents?

I'm famous! that's my ear and shoulder right next to Cheryl Reeve's head.

As clergy pray, arrests begin

Can bluesky put a "I don't not like this, I am acknowledging that its horrifying" button next to the like button?

Well meaning guy shouting at me from driver's seat of his minivan: "Why are you out here? Why do you want to be around ICE? They just killed a lady." Me, pointing at my home: "I live here."

Are my coworkers totally ignorant of what's going on, or are they just better at hiding their inability to do any work?

I feel like it should be re-highlighted that the only thing people are doing is alerting people to the presence of ICE, documenting interactions, and letting people know their rights. There is no obstruction happening. Why that would make their jobs harder?

I think I'm going to start journaling. Right now, my brain is so foggy, I can hardly remember what happened last week, and I feel like in a few years, I'm going to want to look back at everything that's happened here.

Small bit of local good news: State Fair board included funding to enlarge the south bike lot in a recent vote.

The amount of money getting passed between essentially strangers on venmo to help fill needs in my neighborhood mutual aid groups is mind-boggling. Thousands of dollar asks are getting filled in hours. No one is concerned about scams. Everyone is just trying to help neighbors.

Sorry to say to all of you posting thermometer pics of tap water, but it is my professional opinion that unless you can produce a calibration certificate of your thermometer, it's probably wildly innacuate.

George and the Dragon is doing this in Lynnhurst. No restaurant is safe.

Keep this up till the MN highschool hockey tournament is canceled. Then those outstaters will see the light.

good day Minnesotans! 🇨🇦 sends love.🍁❤️

20% faster than a regular sled!

We really needed this whimsy.

Thinking about how in a few weeks when Minnesotans win Olympic Medals... and there should be many (looking at you, Jessie Diggins)... I expect to see some Minnesota flags flying on National TV.

UNITE HERE Local 17 represents more than 6,000 workers. The majority of our membership is women, immigrants and people of color. Minnesota is under attack by Federal ICE Agents indiscriminately targeting people of color. WE NEED YOUR HELP — Please support this hardship fund.

Amazing show of support for MN from 28 Members of Congress from around the country. The country needs to know the harm Trump’s “retribution” has done to our state.

We’ve seen flagrant violations in MN of civil rights and free speech. We deserve accountability. That’s why I’m proud to partner with @omarfatehmn.com and Sen Champion to introduce a bill that allows for civil lawsuits for constitutional violations by federal agents.

We need to be to the degree good as the fascists are to the degree evil.

Life in Minneapolis: I give my wife a heads up if I spend more than $100.

Volunteers needed! Support Legal Aid and our Immigration Law Project. Seeking Spanish-speaking legal professionals to protect the rights of neighbors in detention. The work can be difficult but the company you’ll keep is stellar! mylegalaid.org/take-action/...

This is my aunt, my Tante Sharon speaking in NYC on Sunday about Minneapolis:

I believe an important part of our resistance is organizing a large scale boycott of the companies complicit in fascism, and specifically this cruel operation. Does anyone know of a well-researched and cited list of companies getting $$$ to help ice, like hotels and car rentals, etc?

Join me in screaming along in the privacy of my home until it's true.

i believe the photographer who is taking the photo is Christopher Katsarov of the Canadian Press, and here is his photo

dumb nazi bitch lmao 😂

Both my 4 yr old's preschool school and 1 yr old's daycare are about 1/2 mile from 33rd and Portland. Preschool was closed Thurs/Fri and we kept 1yr old home out of caution. I had to stay home from work and watch kids.

I was at the Monarca Legal Observer training last night, and a very large fraction of the 700 people in the audience looked like my 70 yr old, white-haired, Ward 13 neighbors.

I'm feeling very impotent at work right now, but I'm grateful for neighbors on the streets and proud of brave Minneapolitans

I'm watching Mighty Ducks with my family tonight. Sad to see how far Minneapolis Pee Wee hockey media coverage has fallen since the 90s.

I dont know why you'd want to live anywhere other than Minneapolis in the winter.

The Bryant Phase 1 section is phenomenal right now. 15 ft wide bike ped paths plowed better than the vehicle lanes

Our 2nd car was totaled while parked on the street 3 weeks after our daughter was born. We bought an Urban Arrow and transitioned to a 1 car household of 4. Our family has biked 7k miles on 2 ebikes since March, me personally doing about 5.5k. We saved $650 in gas and reduced emissions by 2 tons.

Let me tell you, that was the most unpleasant decent into MSP I have ever had. Pukeville

How i feel when I want to go home, but the flight was canceled.

Water based transit: completely underrated.

Anoka-Hennepin educators have voted overwhelmingly to strike for a fair contract that delivers the wages and healthcare benefits they deserve. No one wants a strike. I hope the school board comes to an agreement that puts the needs of schools and students first. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Every year, at my family's Hanukkah party, we vote on 3 groups to donate to collectively. This year, I'd like to propose an organization that supports communities targeted by ICE in MSP. I have a few options in mind, but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for groups that do good work.

Sun is set. Time to blast klezmer music.
