Today by a key organization that coordinated Twin Cities' self defense. If you can't make it... defend612.com/event/commun...

if I were an editor I would have said “sure whatever” if chris pitched me this idea and fallen out of my chair when he came back seven months later with this aftermath.site/switch-2-cit...

That Ring ad

We’ve paid rent for over 270 households so far in February and we currently have a waitlist that totals over $30,000. We distributed rents one by one. We can’t even think about March rent yet. You can help us here: gofund.me/5d4d1a571

gooooood morning! I have rents between $1018 and $2030 available for adoption today. Let's keep on keeping people out of eviction court! You can dm me on signal asiniiwiikwe.72 if you would like to pay someone's rent.

‘One officer told me that I "had no chance of returning to Minnesota" and that "the best thing for (me] is self-deportation." … She offered me $2600 to self-deport. I refused. I wanted to talk to my attorney. They didn't tell me the judge had already ordered my release and return to Minnesota.’

🧵Please chip in and share. AIM is raising funds to support ongoing patrols to protect our community from I.C.E.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

A federal judge ordered the release of two Venezuelan men accused of assaulting a federal immigration officer last month outside a north Minneapolis duplex. But they never made it outside the St. Paul courthouse. ICE detained them again, without explanation, after the hearing.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

the dfl caucus night playlist is killing me has anyone looked at it open.spotify.com/playlist/1ph...

if you feel like passing around a link today and helping fundraise for rent that will actually get paid today (and in the next few days for families who have a grace period) you can send here. we will be going hard all day. i won’t be posting about it because I don’t want to flood your feeds.

i am really romantic about mutual aid, and seeing everyday folks spring into action over the last two months has made me so proud to be a minnesotan. simultaneously, the need is huge right now, especially with rent due february 1. this would be a good time to donate if you have the means.

Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

when trump rolled out the line about haitians eating people’s pets during the debate kamala just laughed it off. she didn’t defend them, didn’t stick up for them, didn’t say shit because her immigration platform was she was going to Really do border security. we were always going to wind up here

Thread of gfm for the non white victims 🧵

Help us raise money for a community member who needs to remain anonymous due to being targeted by the federal government during their unlawful occupation of our city. They were targeted by ICE at their job and now have not been able to work. Please donate & share! gofund.me/bc6135384

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

NEW: A Texas county medical examiner found that Geraldo Lunas Campos was choked to death by a guard while he was held in ICE custody earlier this month. Geraldo is the sixth person to die in ICE detention this year.

Friends, we are over halfway to completing this GFM, enabling our departed neighbor’s family to pay for his funeral arrangements. Please keep sharing, donating, and assisting his brother in honoring his life.

one of the gofundme campaigns sent to me today is only trying to raise $1,600 and has a horrific story of an experience of a Hmong elder. they've only raised $10.

A few dead Minnesotans is nothing compared to my ICE contracts, Minnesota executives say

If they wanted this to end they could leverage their capital to do so. They don’t actually want the ICE operations that are widely unsupported to stop. They’ll still let ICE stage in their lots, let Bovino terrorize customers, and let their employees get attacked by ICE on the job.

as of right now, 2/3 of the homicides in minneapolis for 2026 have been carried out by @homelandgov.bsky.social

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

i havent shut off the notification for this form and it has just been vibrating every minute in my hand. just a steady beat.

Whittier, 26th and Nic. 7pm.

Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.

This is who #DHS murdered today. #TheOccupation #ICEOUT #Minnesota

The Bloomington community has stepped up in a big way to support our vulnerable neighbors at this time, but we are still about $5,000 short to meet the "rent is due on 2/1" requests. Are you able to give to our Mutual Aid fund? Check your job for matching funds! givebutter.com/bloomingtonMA

ok wow

as a lifelong minnesotan but also mostly-lifelong hermit i appreciate all the cold weather tips going around. my technique through life for going outside in subzero temps for more than 5 minutes at a time was generally just Not Doing That

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

Update: Now 120 cities are holding Minneapolis General Strike solidarity actions paydayreport.com/minneap/

i am so bad at Posting on a Public Account but i'm thinking bluesky might be my "throw my reviews into the void" site. might try to make myself review every game i play this year or something

On Friday, Jan 23, Minnesotans are taking unified action. No work. No school. No shopping. We refuse to accept ICE's ongoing violent and lawless surge in our city.

i’m in neighborhood chats with my political enemies. jeremiah ellison is sharing jacob frey on the news on twitter. all of mpls staff talking about using docs written by DSA. DSA members impressed with will stancil tbh tho some of southwest aren’t meeting the moment but overall people are united

TWIN CITIES FOLKS WHO WANT TO HELP AND DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START: I put together a big list of resources. Do you want to deliver groceries? do people's laundry? work in community defense? I want to help you get connected! naomikritzer.com/2026/01/19/h...

my neighbor & union brother, Jose, was violently taken by ICE a few days after Renee Good’s public execution by a federal ICE agent. we are trying to get Jose home. his wife is a stay-at-home mom to their three children. plz donate & share if u are able: www.gofundme.com/f/help-jose-...

Half a century ago, the American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded on Franklin Ave. in Minneapolis in response to police violence targeting indigenous residents. Today, as ICE invades the city, AIM patrols are back, watching over elders, youths and aunties along the same avenue.

There appears to be a flash sale for the cameras for $85.99 today - we will use all we can get!

The way “stay safe” has replaced almost all other goodbyes here

Remember the unhoused in the discussion on ICE. ICE targets unhoused populations too, and unhoused folks also experience heavy violence and repression at the hands of local cops and politicians too! Sweeps kill!

Our community is in peril. Our neighbors need our help in this time of ICE presence and subzero temperatures. Mpls has a shortage of available shelter for residents, and our city govt has not developed adequate resources to humanely house people. Please support MIWRC in this time of emergency.

This is shockingly out of touch, please donate your money to the communities that are being attacked by masked federal agents. Also, in-person precinct caucuses are a terrible idea, there are immigrant families who haven’t left their houses in weeks.
