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.

Thereโs 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 canโt 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.

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.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.
