Happy Trans Day of Visibility! 🏳️‍⚧️ Here’s to you; the beautiful and vibrant, the courageous and strong, the neighbor and the friend! I’m looking forward to working together to make sure our trans loved ones always feel welcomed. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Earlier this month, Luis was abducted by ICE on his way home. Unfortunately, his daughter witnessed this. He has been released but still needs support for ongoing legal costs. chuffed.org/project/1753...

So MPD was getting calls about ICE harassing kids at schools … less than six months after Annunciation … and they just didn’t respond

The West Nokomis neighbors are organizing a Rent Fundraiser to keep neighbors housed. 📆 Sunday, March 29, from 1:00PM - 4:00PM 📍Diamond Lake Lutheran Church, 5760 Portland Ave, Minneapolis, 55417

Youth are my #1 priority as a park board commissioner. When we can focus on youth as a priority, our policy will be shaped by what is good for our youngest, and most disenfranchised members of the community, elevating the next generation of Minneapolitans. What’s good for kids is good for us!

Because Frey PACS and allies funneled huge amounts of money to the lowest voter turn out ward in the city to influence the election 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Albert, a MACC rescue, is very upset to hear this. 😿

Again, the here are so many needs across our city that could be massively helped by $40 million. Build housing. Invest in food security. Grant rental assistance. Rebuild critical and failing infrastructure. The MPD budget has ballooned over the past decade and we are simply not seeing results.

One of the big needs for immigrant families still is grocery support. @elitalksmpls.bsky.social and I have been feeding 40 families on a regular basis & they need another delivery. We have a $400 match if we can raise $400 to get to our goal. Can you help us? Venmo: kevin-nye-3 Cash: $RevKev

You know what improves public safety, investing in youth!

$40 million could be spent in a myriad of ways in our city to effectuate better outcomes than this training facility. A massive investment in public housing would help our city’s outcomes for low- and no-income families. Investment in free childcare and elder care. The ideas are so numerous.

Reminder to Minnesotans who have kids whose schools have closed tomorrow: you are eligible to take Sick (or Sick and Safe Time) to care for your child

“No to war and Free Palestine” — Javier Bardem at the Oscars

Instead of spending $1 billion a day on the War in Iran, we could use that to invest in the American people, not more endless wars.

If Mayor Frey acted on his promise to “end homelessness in 5 years” when he was first elected, these orgs maybe would have adequate resources to speak positively on “Pause evictions, save lives”. The mayor’s inaction has ripple effects, and we know where his allegiance lies.

History will look back on the leaders of Minneapolis and what they did to stand up for our residents during and after Trump’s invasion of our city.

Dear community, please help me share Mario’s story and fundraiser. On January 12, Mario was abducted by federal agents at his workplace. Mario has a partner and small children, who now have to carry both financial burdens and emotional trauma. gofund.me/9871a4eff

Jason’s meeting breakdowns are super helpful! Thank you, Jason, for highlighting the work accomplished in a friendly format.

As someone who started her run for Ward 5 city council… part of me wishes I would have stuck it out to try and have prevented *this* like I originally intended. E Burnett, I miss you.

Please. This is embarrassing.

video sent to me from the hennepin county government center this morning of hennepin county sheriff deputies standing by as plainclothes federal agents detain two people agents have been hanging out in the lobby for days now

While Tom Homan was trying to grab headlines this morning ICE was again circling our schools. They’ve been out all morning and no “drawdown” is enough until every single one of these agents is out of our state and DHS is abolished.

minneapolis city council vice president jamal osman says “the people you’re calling agitators, they’re fighting for our people. they’re out there in the cold, sniffing gas, dealing with all kinds of stuff. people have lost their lives… our president calls us garbage. those people are our heroes.”

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes." After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

ICE continues to separate children from their parents in Powderhorn Park. Alex was kidnapped by ICE on his way to work. Let’s reunite him with his son & family. Luz has been a strong advocate for our immigrant community in MN and now her son has to grow up without his father. gofund.me/e9f8947a2

Help support Northeast Middle School families struggling due to this illegal ICE occupation. Your community support is providing immediate help for families. I will keep pushing for an eviction moratorium, rental assistance, small business support, and more from government. givebutter.com/neschool

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad. Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️

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.

Federal Immigration actions are not allowed to be staged on park land. This is a violation of the resolution and unlawful activity. I am grateful to CM Chavez for documenting and to Com. Carvajal-Moran for being present and a voice for our parks and families as well.

St. Peter police have anywhere from 13-14 officers sworn in at anytime. Giving St. Peter a police to resident ratio of 0.11%. MPD to Minneapolis residents: 0.13%.

Friends, we are over halfway to completing this GFM, enabling our departed neighbor’s family to pay for his funeral arrangements. Please keep sharing, donating, and assisting his brother in honoring his life.

We need an EVICTION MORATORIUM NOW. Our neighbors risk being separated from their families when they go to work. They also run the risk of being displaced if they don’t. Sadly, Mayor Frey refused to sign the resolution calling on the Governor to enact this moratorium.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Okay, so I was at this table with my friend the bubble letterer, who wrote “Free” in their PROFESSIONAL-grade bubble letters. It made someone big mad. So bubble person and I made some #popupleftistsupplydepot merch. Proceeds to MIRAC MN. Popupsupplies.printful.me

In the wake of YET ANOTHER tragedy perpetrated by the federal government, friends, neighbors, and volunteers gathered to pack a uhaul full of groceries organized by a friend of the Depot. Staples like rice, but also stuffed animals and coloring sets. We all feel helpless, but we do what we can.

We have helped move this to alllllllmost 50% today! Let’s see what we can do in the next 24 hours!

ICE is terrorizing our neighbors and entire Minneapolis community. January 7th, Renee Good was murdered. January 14th, a neighbor was shot and we were gassed obsessively while observing. Today, another community member was executed.

Abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who stays in it from this day forward as members of a criminal conspiracy to commit murder.

Here is the MPRB statement regarding the murder of a resident by ICE agents in the Whittier neighborhood this morning, and how it affects youth sports at nearby Whittier Rec Center. @amberforparks.bsky.social @olsenforparks.bsky.social @kayforparks.bsky.social @engy5150.bsky.social

Friends, this relative lost his life due to exposure in the elements last weekend. His family needs support, and this GFM is woefully underfunded. Please consider donating if you’re able. gofund.me/5bddd9549

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Vehicles that are abandoned due to an ICE kidnapping and towed to the City's impound lot will be released to their owners or a representative at no cost. Learn more: www.minneapolismn.gov/getting-arou...

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

Hey, instead of scaring people with a vague copy pasta about "avoiding downtown" here's what people in Cedar Riverside say about the hate rally that's scheduled for this weekend

Last Friday, Jan 9, ICE detained a member of the Minnesota Newspaper and Communications Guild. Since then, he’s been transferred to a detention facility in Texas, where he awaits action on his petition for habeas corpus. 🗣️ ICE is not making us safe. PRESS RELEASE 👉 newsguild.org/guild-member...

We will miss all of our kids, and we cannot wait to see them back once our community is in a safer place. ICE out of Minneapolis!

In Minneapolis, we are under ICE occupation & another community member was shot last night. As elected leaders we must make sure our immigrant neighbors can stay inside & be safe. We passed a unanimous resolution to call on Gov. Walz to do an eviction moratorium. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8fBTABR/

Today the Minneapolis City Council unanimously passed a resolution calling on Governor Walz to enact an eviction moratorium to keep Minneapolis families in their homes to protect them from ICE.

Mpls City Council eviction moratorium resolution TODAY — council meeting at 2pm Needs nine votes to pass. Find/contact your Councilmember: www.minneapolismn.gov/government/c... And tell Walz, too! mn.gov/governor/connect/contact-us/contact-form.jsp 651-201-3400
