Second Harvest is one of the suppliers for Joyce Uptown Foodshelf (joyceuptownfoodshelf.org), who I volunteer with. Joyce is referring shoppers to a local church making deliveries to those who can't leave their homes. Whoever you donate money or time to in the chain, they're helping South Mpls.

One way to a Minnesotans heart is to see us. I feel seen. I love us too.

My partner and I have officially reached the "screaming 'go on, get!' at the state patrol chopper that's been circling all day" stage of the 2025 occupation.

I love you South Minneapolis. Ward 9 is the heart of the resistance and the Latino community. And we’re not stopping until ICE is abolished. And we will continue to defend our immigrant neighbors. Chinga la migra!

Guys like @mcuban.bsky.social could certainly fund and invest in PBS News until funding is restored, if they were interested in promoting democracy.

Thread. It's not just good as a historical record, but a personal record so you know you saw what you saw and felt what you felt. (I didn't do enough of this in 2020, weirdly my posting and reposting on the bird app did a little of this at least.)

Hey @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social and @governorwalz.mn.gov, you wanna actually do something rather than flap your lips?

FOR REAL

Just witnessed an abduction in the uptown Lunds & Byerlys parking lot. I honestly hope that Lunds & Byerlys was not cooperating in this action because social media kickback can be a bitch. @lundsandbyerlys.bsky.social

We are calling on the Minneapolis Mayor and City Council, the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners and Governor Walz and the State of Minnesota to immediately enact a temporary eviction moratorium Sign the petition here secure.ngpvan.com/wwZSRvp9-0mO...

JD Vance only ever comes to Minnesota after people have been gunned down in order to go, “I am going to protect and preserve the circumstances that made it possible for these people to be gunned down.”

You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take your meds. Drink your water. Do your dishes. Make a comfort food. Watch a little trash tv. Talk to your friends. Disconnect for a bit when you need to. Find the ways to sustain yourself. We need you.

One of the reasons I push back as hard as I do on "cities are scary" nonsense is that I do not accept the view that we should treat unfounded fears as legitimate, and we have too long indulged the unfounded, racist fears of conservatives. And that in turn is leading to a moment...

I don’t know how long we’ll have the right to assemble. Please, able bodied, good hearted people. Get out there today. You are brave. You can do this.

Also consider this when you encourage anyone in Mpls to be safe. They’re everywhere and violent. Any one of us could end up in an unsafe situation simply by going going about our lives.

I know my friends want me to be safe. I know. And my risk level is comparatively low. But also, I've come to grips with the fact I may not live to a ripe old age. What matters more to me is that I live well and do what's right, out loud, courageously, in public.

People need to really understand This is not hyperbole at all. The reality is the federal government no longer exists in its Democratic form or in any previous form in this countries history and the union no longer exists.

I mean, it's an invasion. Minneapolis is being invaded.

THIS GOES SO HARD. The rad folks at BRLSQ have done it again.

This is what O'Hara should be saying.

The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year old mother fatally shot by ICE, shows that ICE can’t be reformed and must be abolished. I’ll be introducing the Abolish ICE Act as a step toward justice, accountability, and humanity in our immigration policy. Time to melt ICE.

Only $300 from this goal!

Another way to help impacted families in Minneapolis, don't make these teachers go door-to-door to raise funds, we can knock this out.

Proceeds will be donated to local families impacted by ICE raids!!! 💜💜💜

!!!!

Those social media smear campaigns against women, especially queer women, laid the path to people celebrating the murder of a queer woman by a man in a uniform who called her a “fucking bitch” afterward. They unlocked the entitlement and rage to cheer gender-based violence from the online sidelines.

My friend and colleague @michellesphelps.bsky.social explains how the history of community organization prepares Minneapolis for this moment. @newrepublic.com

By the way, the ICE occupation of Minneapolis and other cities? 100% part of rural America’s attack on urban America. Rural America is a cesspool of fascists.

Minneapolis right now: Parents use their weekend to attend a 3 hour deescalation training so we can be better prepared to support more vulnerable families at school drop off and pick up next week. Teachers create online learning plans for the next 5 weeks. The threat: our fed govt.

Just walked out of a coffee shop as a journalist wearing a flak jacket labeled press walked in. That’s life in Trump’s America.

Side note, that isn't ICE, it's BORTAC. Special Forces of Border Patrol essentially en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BORTAC

This is a must read.

can we Not be ground zero for the war they want. please.

Big ICE presence in the Hopkins/SLP area, Knollwood area specifically right now.

MPLS —

Here is a great thread of other fundraisers, Nationwide, for families whose loved ones have been killed by ICE!

Straight up propaganda team. That's exactly what this is.

The ICE agent's video getting leaked to a friendly media org would seem to raise pretty major questions about the integrity of the federal investigation

I really hope that clever people in public works are thinking about how to redesign sidewalks so they are not gulleys in which water pools. The common Minneapolis landscaping feature of houses being slightly elevated from the street with a sharpish lip at the property line makes this worse.

Justice for Renee Good. It’s time to arrest, prosecute and fire the ICE agent. We will continue to defend our immigrant neighbors. I love you Minneapolis.

Just gonna watch this again instead of more video of a murder. I can read about what's in it. (Be careful, folks. You don't have to watch this stuff.) (Okay, but this video is required viewing for Minnesotans.)

hey so this is actively happening currently here. one of the Indigenous patients i work with was stopped by ICE on lake street this morning & was asked if he's mexican. i've also been made aware of folks who know a red laker as well as a few ogalala who've been scooped up by ICE recently as well.

The wife of Renee Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in south Minneapolis on Wednesday, released a statement that described her kindness and care for others.

This is the message. We can’t stop every abduction but we can stop some. Please keep being out there. (Thank you for being good humans, Elliott and Doron. You are meeting the moment.)

honestly I just feel like it's them gloating. They want us to know what they can get away with. What do you think that media inquiry was like? "you got that footage of you shooting someone directly in the face 3 times?" "Yeah, boss. Got it for you right here. Nice and fashy just like you wanted"

"A chronic, devastating cancer in American society is prominent Democrats outright refusing to share their constituents' urgency and horror in the face of what is being done to society by Republicans and insisting instead upon an empty, delusional performance of sobriety and professionalism."
