Justice for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. Abolish ICE and the entire system.

ICE agents feel emboldened because they know their higher ups will protect them by lying to the public about what happened. How can we trust any sort of investigation solely done by an agency that does whatever it wants, whenever it wants, with no repercussions? Justice for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo

very similar to the language the agency used after shooting at juan carlos rodriguez romero in st. paul in december. DOJ later dropped the charges entirely

I wanted to let you know that this afternoon, federal agents and ICE vehicles were parked at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center parking lot and on the 3400 block of Bloomington Ave S. Please continue to be on the lookout, and alert your neighbors if you see any ICE presence in our community. 1/

We need to stop dedicating a disproportionate amount of public space on city streets to cars. I rarely see drivers driving on many streets, but the tax payer subsidized “free” car parking & dangerous car driving greatly hampers traffic flow & safety. Most people drive on the highway anyway.

That’s my family in the other bike and they came home ELATED by the surprise bike ride with friends. You don’t get that in a car, man.

Alt text is 👏🏻 so 👏🏻 easy. Not using alt text sends a very clear message about which people you do not deem important enough to include. Like, if you have time to post a post, you have time to write alt text.

AFSCME Local 66 Spirit Mountain workers are asking community members, visitors, and supporters to stand with us against efforts to privatize Spirit Mountain (and against union busting!). Please sign! Quick! Easy! Solidarity forever! actionnetwork.org/petitions/sp...

We quit Amazon ~6 years ago and have no regrets. We spend less money! We have found cool local places! If you still use Amazon, can you swap out 1-2 purchases for local? Can you wait 24 hours before purchasing something to make more sure you need it?

Today’s layoffs hit the journalists who do the most and get the least credit. The editors, the copy desk, the page designers, the librarian and archivist, the news assistants. My editor led our immigration coverage during Operation Metro Surge and they just…let her go.

reporter: "a huge number of attempts at prosecution have been dropped, why will these be different?" "none of our indictments have failed." other reporter: "it's actually half now that have failed"

One year ago, an assassin murdered Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and attempted to kill another state senator and his family. While still on the loose, Minnesotans showed up anyway. We did it afraid. no one should be surprised we pushed back ICE goons. Don’t fuck with us

Be gentle with yourselves today, friends. Focus on how Melissa and Mark Hortman lived, not how they died. And keep honoring their memories in the small, good things you do every day. We’ll keep taking care of each other.

Peggy Flanagan “Donald Trump and his MAGA republicans don’t give a damn about you. But we got here because too many democrats have been weak.” Standing ovation. “We can’t just be the lesser of two evils. We will never win as the pale shadow of our opponents.”

South Minneapolis friends: ICE activity is high today. Please keep your eyes out.

“That number is almost certainly an undercount, given that many immigrants were removed from Minnesota — or the U.S. — before they could challenge their detention”

It’s true.

Ope, gotta go have a beer as an act of solidarity… ✊🏻🍻

it's too bad this came at the very end of the city council meeting when nearly everyone had left including press because police going over budget and brian o'ohara being unable to explain any of it, even knowing he would be asked to today, is a crucial part of the opposition to MPD cop city

South Minneapolis! This is tonight! Your dinner plans are figured out!

We can end gun violence. We don’t have to live like this. To the land of the free: this is not what freedom looks like.

Hi! I'm Nick Benson, and I'm running as a progressive for Burnsville City Council. You might know me from my ICE monitoring efforts - watching flights at MSP and crowd-sourcing dash cams for observers. If able, I'd sure appreciate your support, thanks! bensonforburnsville.com

Today!!

Yo Minneapolis. The Central, Powderhorn, and Corcoran neighborhoods have their annual free-sale tomorrow (May 9) if you want to get out in the sunshine and find some treasures… freesale.carrd.co

After a trough of relatively less activity, that is fewer people calling me for help, I'm back up to 10 active habeas cases. I do not want to cause anyone undue alarm, but ICE has changed tactics and seems more likely to detain people when they go in for routine appointments with ICE.

The annual Mayday Parade in south Minneapolis, one of the hardest hit areas during this winter's federal surge into the city.

Powderhorn Park back in January

A perfect weekend. Heart filled to the brim with pride and solidarity and sun. Southside forever. ✊🏻❤️

I just have a lot of feelings about the punks and the queers and the hippies and the anarchists alll coming together to make music and butterfly bikes and fire-breathing dinosaurs and use them all to say fuck fascism

Unfazable Minneapolis

Happy May Day to the people! Solidarity, forever. ✊🏻 “They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn/ But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn/ We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn/ That the union makes us strong”

Come celebrate #MayDay International Workers Day with your fellow workers tomorrow (Friday), 4:30 PM - Lake and Chicago in Minneapolis. #BetterInAUnion

No bicycle is capable of this amount of destruction. Literally every car is. During this legislative session hours were spent debating the potential dangers of e-bikes. Our societal threat assessment ability continues to suffer heavily from autonormativity.

I think letting SNAP recipients have hot rotisserie chicken is good, actually.

70 Minnesota children. Delta Air Lines, who likely flew nearly all of these kiddos out of MSP, could publicly condemn this and end the practice tomorrow, as the airlines did in 2018 with family separation, but it’s easier to stay silent.

That’s what I’m talking about! (PS I have some overstock, DM me if you’re interested. Pretty low on some sizes but maybe 50 overall to sell. Especially if you’re 2XL-5XL. A $36 donation to Lucy Laney School mutual aid is requested. Have some stickers, too - $6 for 2.)

Periodic reminder for people who hate the phone: You don't have to provide footnotes or justifications for why you're calling. You don't have to convince anyone of anything. All you have to do is say "I'm a constituent calling to urge (name) to (fucking do something). Thanks." Now make the call!

Love the Lake Loop concept here. And I've been saying it for 20 years, but what this city needs is a Euro-style playground where parents could sit in a nearby cafe with a coffee or a beer so they can chat while their kids play.

There’s just like soooo many other books and authors and fandoms you can get into that aren’t actively dangerous to our trans neighbors. So, I read other books. Easy.

"After No Kings, Indivisible, one of the lead organizers of the "No Kings" protest, is pivoting to building support for...May Day Strong. The May Day Strong coalition is calling for "No Work, No School, No Shopping" on May 1st." reporting by @mikeelk.bsky.social paydayreport.com/no-kings-org...

Please, I am begging people: never again repeat the claim that only two people were killed in the occupation of Minnesota.

The lengths women go to protect community and build better futures. My heart breaks for Dolores Huerta and the other women abused in the movement. And my heart swells again and again in gratitude for the many women who keep each other and our communities safe.
