I was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota. If you have places for me to add, please DM me.

I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder. Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.

This is the best thing I think I’ve ever heard & I’ve gotten good news after a tumor removal so…

“Why doesn’t everyone in MN just stay home & refuse to work until ICE leaves?” Really? Nurses & doctors? Nursing home staff? Sewage treatment folks? Fire fighters & EMTs? All of them? What about pharmacies being closed? What happens when someone runs out of formula for their baby?

The scraping off of the waste wax into that long curl was always my very favorite part. So satisfying!

Honestly cannot fix this for my family by myself, which is why I’m asking for help. It’s super important for them to fully pay the rent because the longer the delay, the higher the chance of eviction. Housing security is necessary for any kind of stability.

Woke up to more texts that ICE is in Portland, Maine. According to a message I received, they are expected to be here for a week. Stay safe, local friends.

This is the cutest little guy I’ve ever seen! 😭

I’m thinking about aortic dissection a lot lately. No reason. Just picturing an aorta (in an imaginary person, of course!) casually going sploot in the middle of, I dunno, an important meeting or something. Maybe with lots of cameras there, who knows!

Please happen tomorrow. Or at least this week. Please.

In my defense, I do love & wear cardigans a lot.

I keep vowing not to buy any more cardigan patterns & then getting a coupon code from a designer & immediately buying another cardigan pattern. My next knit is a pullover! I’m still finishing a vest! My arthritis is acting up! I just bought two more cardigan patterns! In fingering weight! Help!

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why: They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course. The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

I love this so so much!

Something lovely for the weekend! Minoan cups made by Bronze Age potters some 3,800 years ago! Heraklion Archaeological Museum, Crete 📷 by me #Archaeology

I will underscore that we could do something like this in every city and town in the country. Note that they make sure to include tabling so organizations can let people know about their work and people can plug into that work. bsky.app/profile/euro... - I did a mini version of this last year.

Assume that if you have been ICE spotting in the city that you are on a list. Do not share photos of protests with faces visible. Lock down your shit and make a plan.

As promised, we are back with a second wishlist for our friends in Minneapolis! This time @naomikritzer.bsky.social is helping out by being our local contact who will receive all the goodies you send! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... As always, you can avoid the 'zon at our GFM!

I feel sick. No one was physically hurt, but they lost their Torahs. And the emotional toll on Jewish people across the country every time this happens…it’s horrifying & unacceptable & I’m so angry & so sorry. I’m tired of this country being this way.

In cities across the US, regular people have mobilized to protect their neighbors, showing up with whistles to oppose secret police with guns. There is not a single US police force that has put the same effort into protecting their immigrant neighbors. Who keeps us safe?

Hey folks: we’re supporting South Minneapolis latino-owned businesses and the unhoused at the same time—buying breakfast burritos from local taquerias to distribute to unsheltered folks. Help us help each other! Venmo: @ Kevin-nye-3 Cashapp: $Revkev Please donate and/or signal boost!

alright last thing before i try to sign off for the day- but i think part of the reason they are getting more and more aggressive, the reason they keep sending in more troops is that the community defense is working.

Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Women’s figuring skating champion.

you’re already ahead. stay with it. minneapolis stripped these forces of legitimacy (a battle other cities won’t have to repeat). remember they are completely outmanned. their only real advantage is their organizational capacity. out-organize them & the illusion of control will collapse.

Please encourage the people with weapons, body armor, chemical weapons, and shields to be peaceful. Protest is not a tea party. It doesn’t need to be peaceful. It’s infuriating to constantly urge peace when protestors are not out here choking men for 9 minutes or shooting women in the face.

if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed. everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

Four years ago today, I met a porcupine. If they’re high up in a tree they’re easy to miss because they look like a nest. Their tracks in the snow reflect their trundling gait and if the snow is deep you can see where their tail dragged 🌿

no actually i don't think more training for the roving extrajudicial death squads is a good idea what the fuck is wrong with you

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

If there are no events in your area (just look at this map with hundreds of events planned in under 24 hrs! www.mobilize.us/map/?q=Ice%2...) maybe you and your people can host one? Here's how to do that ⬇️ Let's reject the regime's efforts to terrorize our neighbors & the entire country VERY LOUDLY.

my teacher friend asked, if people have more to give, to help meet the goal on this rent relief fund they have set up for families unable to live home due to their status. if we did $2k in 20 minutes we can do $24k by the end of the day, right? please amplify!

Lmao apparently people near me are freaking out about a non binary teacher And I am watching the entire community come together to dunk on the much smaller group of transphobic dipshits and it is DELICIOUS The local newspaper even snarkily wrote about them and I am CRYING

FOR FUCKS SAKE! He’s speed running the worst bucket list of all time and IT BETTER BE BECAUSE HE’S ABOUT TO KICK

Snack break with Hudson! 🦫

These fucking politicians need to STOP CONSTANTLY admonishing protestors to be "peaceful" while they are being brutalized regularly by the gatekeepers of the state. You should be up there telling ICE and Border Patrol to be fucking peaceful.

these poor people who got shot by CBP officers *called portland police for help*, this is a lie and a coverup, CBP tried to murder two portland residents in a hospital parking lot and then fled the scene

In every city, organizers learn from shared information about how ICE operates from the cities that come before. ICE leaves a city radicalized and activated; the people in it reach out to the place where they are to offer aid and help.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Fucking hell. I was afraid this would escalate rapidly & here we are.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

So they're just admitting they don't have the resources to go after all of us at once.

I feel like this is extremely relevant again Not “this was not self-defense” but “this was murder” Not “she didn’t run the ICE agent over” but “she was murdered while trying to drive away”

We've removed the paywall from this guide so everyone can access it. 👇 Stay safe.

If everyone just lets this go, that's the ballgame. Anytime they want to kill someone they'll just say the FBI is handling it.
