Time to go to work. I'll have "Bird Legged Ho" in my head all day tho.

Conversely: Look at the insane support for the local shops spearheading community aid: Smitten Kitten, Burrito Mercado, etc. Places that are earning themselves customers for *life* because of how they care for the community.

Local guy tremendously impressed that the Smitten Kitten is doing all of this amazing mutual aid work but also now skeptical about earlier claims that they don’t have the capacity to run a gloryhole.

me [left] the news [right]

Absolutely do not donate to the billionaire Republican owner of a for profit newspaper.

Note: Minnesota is full of great writers who need work. Stop putting your dudes on planes and start hiring local writers. I've now connected two folks. I can find you more. *I do not want this work I have a syllabus to finish this ain't about me.

“ICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.” - the …we rate dogs guy

These are cruel idiots, so I’m not sure they ever thought any of this through. Each day they are here it becomes clearer how violent and unaccountable they are and how much everyone is against them. I can’t really see them leaving under these circumstances because they don’t know how to take an L.

Yesterday I had to console a child crying because her phone told her ICE is in her neighborhood.

Look at this absolute queen

Because the media does not know how to frame what is happening, they keep referring to regular Minnesotans as protesters. But there is very explicit training that so many people done to learn how to be a constitutional observer. People are bearing witness to kidnappings, with phones and whistles.

This is what everyone on the ground id trying to prevent, which is why they’re so active in the suburbs and exurbs, where because density is lower, rapid response networks are not as well established. People outside Minnesota need to realize that these kidnappings are happening across the state.

I'm trying to have grace for people not reaching it to me or being silent. Why tho? I'm mad at them too. I have enough rage for both ICE and every person not standing up to them I guess.

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.

Twin Cities Leather (and adult toy store Smitten Kitten) have stopped regular operations to become a staging and delivery space for food and supply donations- they are requesting monetary donations to keep them afloat without any income www.paypal.com/paypalme/kpa...

If you get COVID I have some hotels I suggest you stay at to keep your families safe and healthy at home.

Now more than ever, we need more Fyre Festival documentaries

That’s what everybody’s talking about in the Signal chats.

"He wanted one thing understood immediately: This is not a professional operation. “It is just ordinary people that are doing this,” he said. “This isn’t fun. It’s middle-aged parents who would rather be playing with their kids at home.”

It took me five minutes to throw this together, print, and have available at the quizzo my husband and I run in rural VT. We gave out nearly 50. Doing something to help is sometimes really as easy as this!

My mom asked me what I was smirking at, and it was this.

Worst Hugh Grant movie ever

As the world burns, let's get one thing straight. A video podcast is just a TV show.

🚨 Special Urban Report 🚨 Walker Art Center Minneapolis, MN

Just one example of something that national media outlets COULD be covering instead of, say, hanging out with the day-drinkers of Nisswa or interviewing ICE officials

Calm down Nicksorter, they’re just helping wash the ICE diarrhea off the sidewalk. (Science fact: ICE agents all have constant raging diarrhea)

In the most Minnesota ass accent possible “yeah, no”

Over dinner 15yo and I talked about how Elie Wiesel's "Night" (10th grade curriculum) feels similar to what's starting here in Minnesota. While we were talking a rapid response alert came for neighbors surrounded at Wendy's.

🔊 MN clergy got Target CEO Brian Cornell on the phone. Target’s motto: “Expect more. Pay less.” More like expect the bare minimum and get… hung up on? 🤔 We’re not leaving Target HQ until we get a meeting with Brian Cornell. #ICEOutOfMN #ICEOutForGood #ReneeGood

These camps are killing disabled people first through abuse and neglect.

Saw a guy chasing ICE and blowing his whistle while on an electric unicycle Dudes rock ICE does not

On my morning walk today I saw this one, which is one of my favs, on a power box. See many poster designs here: defend612.com/art/

ICE working to fill their abduction quotas today in Shakopee. They are everywhere. Please be careful. Please get trained on ICE Watch. Our responsibility now is to exercise our Constitutional rights so that we can reduce the harm being inflicted upon us by the Federal Govt. Don’t wait. DM me.

Time to stop keeping up with the federal government occupation for a few hours to go work and parent and survive.

If you were wondering, yes, gift messages in Amazon support emojis, and no, they don’t appear to be censored. Thank you everyone for the kind notes with your dash cam and memory card orders, please keep them coming! We’ve got 75 more going out into the community today!

I gotta find this neighbor and get him a coffee. Maybe decaf. ❤️

I've seen a couple videos from women doing the work who are pissed at their husbands' attitude toward the occupation. Happy to not be in that situation my partner is great and my son just lost his shit waking up to a new shooting. Divorce bad men.

My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

Oh man, I just realized the seed art at the State Fair this year is going to be *something*.

Thinking of the children like mine who could have lifelong lung impairment from this.

we closed all our windows and i can still feel my skin actively breaking out despite a shower, also i haven't had asthma this bad in years god damn

Living under occupation is bad for my chronic illness.

There are lots of summaries of this stuff, but Matthew‘s is more clearly written than most. They’re not your lawyer (and I’m not either!) but this is a good quick guide for what to do when a goon shows up at your door.

Heartbroken for all the children who walked out of school and protested yesterday as they wake up to feel unheard.

Good night, everyone. It feels like our so-called "leaders" have all but abandoned us, but we still have each other. I didn't know what else to do, so I made a little painting. Stay safe out there 💛

I think Minnesota should get to vote on which city our Nuremberg trials go to.

There was no reason for this, ICE had so many moments and opportunities to deescalate, to be done. They kept their foot on the gas, the brutality is stunning.

I was there tonight. They tear gassed us again and again and again. Eventually used something else that felt different in our throats, maybe pepper. On a residential street where children should be in their beds at peace.
