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.

🚨Action Alert!🚨 This Friday, May 15th from 12pm-2pm, join workers fighting for a first contract at the Maple Grove REI. Workers have called for a BOYCOTT during REI’s biggest sale of the year. Help them leaflet and tell management that its time for a fair contract. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

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

Last minute shopping for Mother’s Day? Be sure to visit UFCW 663 members like Amber or Maria at one of our many Union shops to get your flowers, candy, and other gifts!

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...

MPD abandoned the people of Minneapolis.

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.

What a small mayor we have. Here’s some retail therapy you can use to cope right now:

If you can, show some extra love to the local places you love. mndaily.com/city/twin-ci...

I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out. If you want to adopt a family, and can afford to give $500 or more, signal me at asiniiwiikwe.72

Are you stressed about paying mortgage/rent tomorrow? No? Fantastic 🙌🏻. I invite you to lend a hand to families that are quite stressed about March 1. My heavily impacted neighborhood only has funds for half the rent requests right now 😭 www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-ren...

Well at least domestically, my neighbors are still in hiding.

Please support our Central Neighborhood neighbors. They've been so hard hit by ICE! www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-ren...

The flashy Minneapolis headlines have stopped, but the economic devastation hasn’t. Please helps impacted families be evicted - on top of all the other traumas they’ve endured. This is for the heavily Latine neighborhood in Minneapolis where I live. gofund.me/a7a070594

“The Salt Cure Restaurant Recovery Fund is an act of preservation. Our restaurant community is at a critical moment. We are here to help preserve the heart of MN’s food culture, serving those that serve us.” TODAY Toast is matching all donations up to $100K. thesaltcurefund.org

(Not a crier, but I might be crying.) “We are legion, the local moms and dads, we cruise the city in our minivans. You can’t shoot us all.”

Emergency healthcare funds needed: A Twin Cities 18-yr old student, w/ parents unable to work because of ICE, suddenly diagnosed with leukemia. She is uninsured, has huge bills, and can't help support her family. Please help if you can. (I confirm this is genuine) www.gofundme.com/f/support-an...

Crying in the office today in solidarity with MN legislators, who are opening session without the leadership of Melissa Hortman. What a devastating loss for our state.

Oh, I see. So Talarico is really good at this. youtu.be/oiTJ7Pz_59A?...

Mercado Central still has s ways to go (but they're up over $300,000!) Please keep sharing their campaign too! www.gofundme.com/f/help-save-...

A local student recently lost her mother to cancer, and just weeks later, her father was detained horrifically at her bus stop and abruptly deported. She is now navigating life without both parents. Funds will go to for her care and legal needs. gofund.me/ed645ae29

Do I trust Tom Homan, no. But what I am hearing is: the occupation is moving elsewhere. Until they do, we need to keep caring for our neighbors. After they do, we need to keep caring for our neighbors. And we need to stand ready to support wherever is next. Abolish ICE.

A parent at my kids’ school was abducted a few hours ago. Please help us help the family with legal expenses and care for their elementary school son (who doesn’t even know his dad was taken yet 💔): gofund.me/20a5b26ab

starting a new thread of artists who are raising mutual aid for minnesotans affected by the occupation — there are so many who are doing great things to help, and some that have posted mostly on instagram.

Gift shop in the Minneapolis airport is selling "ICE OUT of St. Paul" posters next to cute onesies and fridge magnets.

Alex Paucar and Kimberly Tocte, were kidnapped by ICE while going to their immigration check in. This family needs help with lawyer fees, bond requests, and support to stay afloat and be reunited. Alex is being held in Texas now and Kimberly is in Minnesota being monitored. gofund.me/14aaa00e9
