idk but this country has worked pretty hard to make you feel fuckin miserable for being Latino so I’m still riding the high of one show reminding everyone that being Latine is one of the coolest things in the world

it's illegal to be queer in nigeria, but queer people still exist there (as they do everywhere). nigerian reporter ebenezer mowete spoke to queer local gamers about how they do and don't express their identities when they play --> www.mothership.blog/queer-nigeri...

I’m really inspired by all the aid going toward paying rent but it’s really making me think rent shouldn’t really be a thing. 🤔 Just another way the various crisis of capitalism (corporate land ownership and the police state) overlap and deprive people of their basic human needs. Just a thought!

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

journalism the rare field that will make you feel survivor’s guilt even if you don’t have a job

One thing I think is important to remember is that it does not take many subscribers on the scale of things. Your money goes a lot farther when it goes directly toward the people making the work. You do not need 30 million readers and infinite growth.

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...

Ok I’ll redownload Fortnite. They really got me with this one

'protect your peace' and 'pick your battles' are good advice for most, but it's ignorant not to know it as privilege. some people were minding their business when the battle picked them; some people are the battle

My office has been flooded with reports of the cruel, unsafe, unlawful conditions inside of the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis. This weekend, I was finally granted access to perform oversight of the facility. youtu.be/0SxPn8n2Bfg

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

😭😭😭i want to buy liam ten thousand pikachu plushies. liam, and every child everywhere in the world, deserve to be at home with their stuffies 😭

I’m trying to help this immigrant family who’s been inside for over a month due to increased ICE presence in our community. Rent and bills are due tomorrow (Feb. 1) so we are really hoping to support them. Let’s make this family happy & prevent their displacement. ❤️ Venmo: @ gretagretagreta

i literally can’t understand how rich people keep their money. giving people money they need to stay fed and housed is the most amazing feeling. i wish everyone of you that have donated got to experience the gratitude of the people you are helping.

I do this and it has never gone badly because I never call someone with the expectation that the can definitely talk to me right then and there. I have bad ADHD so a lot of times scheduling a call can actually prevent me from talking to people who I genuinely want to talk to.

Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt needs to stop assisting ICE. It’s very clear that the sheriff’s department has been harassing, intimidating, arresting and coming out in force to assist ICE. They have been using force against neighbors who are working to protect our immigrant neighbors. 2/

An unbelievable thing happened last night. 3,083 people from the @minnmax.com and @giantbomb.bsky.social community stepped up to protect the people in Minneapolis from ICE. You can still donate to VEAP here - bit.ly/iceoutminneapolis Here's the archive - youtube.com/live/SMcO71c...

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...

An old friend was harassed by ICE and asked to prove her citizenship, luckily she was carrying her passport. This stuff is happening every day in Minneapolis. She’s a self-employed hair stylist and has lost business with folks scared to leave their homes. Donations welcome. gofund.me/d8b49045d

The Minnesota Star Tribune, @mprnews.org @minnesotareformer.com , @spokesmanrecorder.bsky.social, @sahanjournal.bsky.social, Center for Broadcast Journalism and Minnesota Newspaper Association today released the following statement:

Do not underestimate how much this context adds to these arrests for Minnesotans. We lost one of our treasured leaders last year because she was tragically murdered and the tactics are being repeated. bsky.app/profile/atru...

There are 3,800 kids in ICE custody.

WHY ARE THEY TAKING HER TO WHIPPLE

A father with a heart condition was kidnapped by ICE at McDonalds in MN. The family is asking for help with legal fees, bond requests, & rent assistance. An ICE agent smirked at the son when he went to drop off the medicine for his father. We need to bring him back home ASAP. gofund.me/6459cadb4

If anyone has contact information of the family who’s father was kidnapped by ICE at the McDonald’s in Bloomington (Southtown Center) please let me know. His son went into the Whipple building to make sure his dad got his heart medication. 1/

What are people’s favorite KN95 and other high quality masks to wear right now? I need recs as someone with a smaller face. I like something that’s soft, light, and comfy. (I’m not super happy with my current supply bc they’re a tad large.)

"This is the worst fucking time. But watching people's response to ICE has just been the most affirming thing in the world.” We interviewed our friends over at @racketmn.com about what it’s like to cover the crisis in Minneapolis as community-centered journalists

Angeline Era is like a dream: random, transcendent, frustrating. That feeling made it one of my favorite games of 2025. My review: unwinnable.com/2026/01/29/a...

i get the sentiment and i'm glad people are ready to mobilize and i love my city but man, i hate quotes like this. as if minnesota didn't burn down a precinct in 2020 while new yorkers spent a loooot of time marching in circles while following grifters with megaphones

goverment workers, real human beings who i can talk to and and answer questions and help me access social benefits, are my fucking saviors. down with all this automated nonsense. give me a man with a calming voice who tells me it's ok when im confused about something. lol.

Can you help bring this father back home to Minnesota? He was kidnapped by ICE moments before wishing his granddaughter happy birthday on the phone. He’s been in the USA for over 25 years. gofund.me/5ae119898

Please pay attention to what's happening in Minneapolis, Minnesota. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY Reposts are appreciated.

Service journalism for living under authoritarianism

I really want to stress how much Bovino leaving means very little on the ground in #Minneapolis, reports of 10 ICE officers out of vehicles on the Greenway. We haven't won anything yet.

So much love for @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social

The constant free sharing of food in Mpls rn for grieving, hiding, organizing, observing is so profoundly powerful. Where would we be without this kind of care?

Dear neighbor, There’s a ton of ICE activity today in South Minneapolis and across Phillips today. Please stay on alert and be careful. We need folks to observe. Please continue to show up and when you do please bring a pair for safety. Jason Chavez 1/
