Thanks to @garrettbucks.bsky.social for channeling the love and framing the moment we're in in Minneapolis and beyond. 🙏 substack.com/home/post/p-...

When you focus on the regular people showing up magnificently in all of their flawed beauty, it helps you to keep going.

For decades Minneapolis has welcomed refugees. Now ICE is *creating* refugees trying to escape terror they perpetrate in our state.

The thing that really makes Minneapolis different, other than the fact that they straight up murdered someone, is that they've dropped all pretense that this is just about immigration. The state has declared war on its own people, or at least those people who live in cities.

I hope people outside Minnesota realize that Trump's paramilitaries are using the ICE surge not just to terrorize immigrant communities but to master real-time surveillance and quash dissent. Getting bolder and more brazen by the day.

Powerful video of McDonald’s security officer Ray Wooten holding the line against ICE. Thank you sir 🙏🫡✊

Totally worth clicking through and reading the article

There’s reports that there will be 1,000 more agents coming to our city. We need that same surge in residents out patrolling our streets. Even if you can’t patrol, come work from a coffee shop on one of cultural corridors so you can be there to show up for our neighbors.

This videos in this whole thread. ICE targeted a business that is publicly doing mutual aid, caring for our neighbors. This is about intimidation, not immigration.

It's helpful to remember that while MN is resisting tyranny and door-to-door terror, thousands of our Southern neighbors are marching for peace. Again.

Please boost

Current intimidation tactics threatening Minneapolis citizens exercising their constitutional rights. #fuckice

Laughing at all the people saying shit like we should get rid of the few bad apples in the ethnic cleansing operation

I think about this 2 minute speech a lot. Ella Baker with no time for applause and agreement, only time to remind everyone about what organizing and solidarity require

Thanks so much Jim! Be sure to also check out collaborators like @lizloeb.bsky.social @revvoelkel.bsky.social @revashleyhoran.bsky.social and @mnhonortax.bsky.social

It's Thanksgiving week in the US. If you live in Minnesota, please broaden your gratitude to include www.mnhonortax.org to acknowledge that we’re still on Dakota land. Better yet, make it a recurring contribution as I have. 🙏 Boosts appreciated!

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing. They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays. The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k. www.businessinsider.com/denver-basic...

An amazing post. Needed by those of us who aren't so young as well

On October 13, I'll join hundreds of my fellow Minnesotans riding our bikes to raise money for hashtag#Alzheimer's research. If you or anyone you love has been touched by the disease, please consider donating. Many thanks! 🙏 act.alz.org/goto/jwbolton #Ride2EndALZ
