Tomorrow City Council will be taking up “Pause Evictions, Save Lives” to temporarily increase the required notice for eviction to 60 days to give families an extra month to make rent. No family should have to choose between keeping a roof over their head and risking being kidnapped by ICE.

ICYMI: last week we launched the Twin Cities Tenant Union to protect each other from ICE now and landlords in the long term and if you rent in mpls or saint paul you can join us right now linktr.ee/twincitieste...

my coworker mentioned visiting this cafe last night with his wife, and told me about their mutual aid efforts - that they had a table of sandwiches and food for folks to take freely, no questions asked (folks were donating to fund it), and that they had whistles and zines available. so cool!

Hi all. I’m working with @ziibiing.com at standwithminnesota.com to get rents paid for Minnesota families impacted by ICE as soon as possible. I’m barnraising $2400 for one campaign. I’ll chip in $25. Please chip in and share this need: V: colocha_rachel $: ColochaRachel Put a 🌻 in the memo.

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

The SAVE Act is far more dangerous than ICE trying to intimidate voters at the polls, and this might be a rare instance where I think "distraction" is exactly what they're going for: get a news cycle and a faux "retreat" while *legally* stripping millions of the right to vote.

had to do my annual diagnostic assessment for therapy today and she asked me how my anxiety is doing and we laughed and laughed and laughed

The thing is, it’s not just a drop in the bucket and it hasn’t been just a drop in the bucket. Every small step we take, even incremental, to support our neighbors in the most local sense adds up in powerful ways. Do not let perfection diminish the impact. Shop *more* locally than you had.

BREAKING: ICE won't stay away from our schools. So we're suing the federal government to keep them away. edmn.me/4rBNI1b #iceoutmn #iceoutschools

"Imagine if we actually followed the Constitution."

If anyone was wondering, the ~23% reduction in ICE agents in Minnesota apparently doesn't include the ones down the street that are lurking, now as I type this, as vulnerable folks are getting their kids to the school bus this morning. We cannot rest until ICE is gone, entirely.

This has to be right up with one of America’s darkest time. ICE KILLING Americans, arresting honest hard working immigrants, similar to the same white immigrants arresting them. DISGUSTING, HORRIBLE AND EVIL. America cannot survive as a nation with this kind of leadership.

Those 700 are absolutely headed to another city, and we’ve still got about 2300 here. This shit ain’t over by a long shot.

Come visit Eat Street

Tom Homan is expected to speak today. I will keep you updated on what he says. That being said, until there are no more families being separated and no more agents on the ground, we will need to observe, patrol and support our immigrant neighbors.  Jason Chavez 3/

This morning, ICE has already been seen across Powderhorn even on foot deploying chemical irritants. It is clear that they are active this morning in South Minneapolis. 2/

Yesterday morning, federal agents pointed handguns at drivers and passengers at 27th and Cedar Ave S. The video was frightening along with confirmed ICE vehicles across South Minneapolis. 1/

Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.

They broke the Halfway mark! Keep Boosting and Help if you can!

I am on a panel right now talking about the current state of gender care and trans rights in Minnesota; but I know there are many questions around today's news in the state. If you have a question: Drop it here, and I will get to it when I am able. Care to folks.

you can’t fucking reform this

how many people in this state are going to die because the government is making it impossible for them to access the medical care they need?

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

this is fucking devastating. children’s has been handling gender affirming care for kids and teens since my mom worked there 15 years ago. it’s so fucked that the government can do this.

One of my absolute favorite bookshops sent out a newsletter saying they could really use some love. Once Upon a Crime is a killer shop and they have been demonstrating, observing, helping to collect mutual aid, you name it. Stop by or order online! onceuponacrimebooks.com

this occupation is going to impact generations of minnesotans.

The majority of white America endorse this shit, because they understand which groups aren't meant to get privileged treatment and which groups are. But the thing is, the majority of white Americans are also too fucking stupid and filled with hate to realize that they're not part of the latter group

1/5 “If people aren’t getting their medications and they’re not getting their treatments, they will die.” -- ICU nurse Mary Turner, Minneapolis, The federal government has created a public health crisis, keeping people from life-saving care. 🧵 ⬇️ @melodyschreiber.com @theguardian.com

ice/cbp/dhs and all other subsidiary terror agencies need to be completely dismantled and abolished, and independent investigations should occur into the behavior of every single agent.

What gets me is the amount of people I talk to that say “if you’re here legally, you have nothing to worry about.” I know our newsfeeds are catered. I know how this works. But I’m simply stunned at how wrong that belief is and how it’s possible to actually believe it.

Re-upping for the morning crew — thanks to everyone who donated last night, we’re at 60% of goal. A friend messaged me about sending over $100 from an overfunded mutual aid campaign he ran: “Just passing sandbags in this metaphorical flood.” That socked me in the soul. Love us so much.

Folks outside of Minnesota: Looking for how you can support Latino small businesses in Minneapolis? Here you go.

Good morning from still occupied Minnesota. Abolish ICE.
