If you want to be pissed off at the CIA, read this. It is important to know that these two men shaped so much US foreign policy and we are still feeling the impacts. #booksky

How does one get into the luge? Like how do you discover that you are good at sledding down an ice tunnel?

My political friends need to read this book. It will make you mad. You may even disagree. Read it anyway. #booksky

This book is worth the read especially if you value freedom of the press and subversive culture. I learned about Poland’s Solidarity movement and I was inspired. We need books more than ever. #booksky #bookrec

Hey all. I have an urgent rent need for a family and need to raise $680 today. Can you Venmo my husband at kevin-nye-3 with a house emoji? 🏠🏠

Hi friends. The asks are many, but so are the needs. I’m raising money to help keep ICE-impacted families housed. These are families that are behind on rent because primary earners were abducted or are out of work because of ICE. The 1st family needs $1670 ASAP. Please Venmo @jasonltnx w 🏠in note.

Hi everyone! We’ve been super busy delivering meals the past two weeks- the extreme cold has made this more necessary than ever. MIWRC has been operating as an emergency warning shelter for most of the month and we’ve been really fortunate to help keep hot meals available there for people in need.

How single am I? There is no concept of a roster. None. Doctor asked if I could be preggers and I laughed. Doc I am off the apps. The men are not worth dating. If you want me to find a man, send me an essay on why he will not be the reason I am not in therapy for the next three years.

Being a Minnesotan means showing up for my neighbors every day. It is an honor bc I am learning that not every place is like this. I think that is special and worth fighting for. #minnesotastrong

Bookstores being at the frontlines of the revolution is right. Books are magic. Keep supporting reading, literacy, bookstores, libraries, and reading for all.

I won’t bother to attend a meeting that was called under false pretenses. My public comments and my comments to the press speak for themselves. The Party failed you all in a moment of crisis. I’m sorry those of us who tried to change things couldn’t do more.

You will hear from some in party leadership that there is no real opposition to holding precinct caucuses in person. This is a lie. Do not let them tell you otherwise.

I am hearing that the emergency @dfl.org SEC meeting tonight, which I had planned on attending, is discussion only and will not be taking up any actual business. This is not how this meeting was initially presented to the SEC earlier this week.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

My name is Christin Crabtree, and I'm running for Minneapolis School Board - At Large. There are so many important ways to plug in right now, but if you're looking for one that's about building towards the flourishing schools and city we all deserve, I'd love your support.

yes, the same judy seeberger who rants about education union lobbyists on twitter, and who wants to repeal seclusion laws so kids can be put in closets is angie craig’s idea of a good endorsement unfortunate for hollies j winston! www.lcc.mn.gov/seclusion/08... (2/2)

angie craig mailers are arriving in mailboxes ahead of caucuses as she runs for minnesota senate on feb 3 and hollies j winston, mayor of brooklyn park, and sen judy seeberger apparently said the EXACT same thing, word for word, in their endorsement? (1/2)

Snacks and laughter in Minneapolis tonight #minnesotastrong

I love Minnesota. Every day I love it more. MN strong. We will win.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

For Alex. I am going to keep fighting.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Are you okay? No. I live in Minneapolis. My home is under federal occupation where white people are being murdered and anyone and everyone is being kidnapped. No I am not okay.

My official statement as vice chair of the Minneapolis DFL fuck ice forever.

Be safe is how I end all my conversations. It is how I say I love you. Be safe is how I say I care. Be safe in case I don’t see you again. Be safe in a city the feds are terrorizing. Be safe Minneapolis. I love you.

Every day I see my friends and other Minnesotans resist by driving neighbors to work, kids to school, standing on side walks with their whistles, delivering groceries, buying supplies, protesting and coordinating. I am just so proud to be a Minnesotan. We will crush i c e.

I donated to Mirac and won a cake. Worth it.

Ice waved at me while driving the wrong way down my street. Diabolical. Abolish 🧊 forever.

Dear neighbor, We are seeing an increase in immigration enforcement and federal agents across South Minneapolis. This includes the sighting of Bovino at 34th and Cedar. There’s definitely an uptick compared to the last few days. 1/

This is such a worthy and timely read about a Somali man’s story and his desire to come to America. If we could live up to the vision Abdi has of us, we would be better #booksky

I need a loon with laser eyes and mn emoji. Who do I tell?

@simonrosenberg.bsky.social I am going grocery shopping for neighbors today. If you want a list of food banks that could use your generous support @naomi111.bsky.social has been doing some great work & has a bunch of families that could use rent assistance for February.

Do not trust these well-funded churches that pop up in the North Loop and elsewhere. It’s a rat line for the worst people into our city.

If your ego is so big that you can’t be wrong and apologize, you need to check your ego. Never have an ego so big that you are unwilling to learn from others and correct your mistakes. No one is perfect bc no one is lemoncello sparking water.

Sometimes you have to take the L. Apologize. Learn your lesson. Move on. Make repairs.

South High School parents are holding a special fundraiser specifically for South families to support with rent and keep families together. 30.9% of the population is Black and 27.7% of the population is Latino. gofund.me/96e23ea1a

Your money could be better spent on helping families. Funding the DFL apparatus will likely send money to members who actually won’t support immigrants. Like when they stripped healthcare from immigrant adults or refused to advance Sen Fateh’s sanctuary bill.

A group of 6 families are coordinating transportation, groceries, rent & utilities for 60+ Folwell families in South Minneapolis (this number grows daily). Most of the students have now shifted to e-learning. Please help our neighbors who are impacted by immigration enforcement. gofund.me/b8514bb4b

The Powderhorn Park neighborhood has been the biggest target of immigration enforcement in Minnesota. It’s home to a large immigrant community who is now struggling to pay rent. Kidnappings are on the rise because people cannot stay home. Please help us out. gofund.me/350c67697

Andersen Middle School is home to a large immigrant and children of immigrant population. 53.8% of the population is Latino and the Midtown Phillips Neighborhood is home to a large immigrant community. gofund.me/a84173725

Don’t listen to this political strategist. There are literal families who are starving, people who do not have enough for rent, businesses with eviction letters, and neighbors who are hiding. Help communities out instead and it will actually have an impact.

eric harris bernstein just announced on @wedge.live that he and fellow BET member steve brandt will be donating not just $10 per chud today to the cedar protection alliance but their entire january BET salary to rapid response efforts in minneapolis

Cover your Disney princess ears.

I check in with my friends more than usual, hold them a second longer for a hug, and no longer take any of this for granted. Does this sound dramatic? It is dystopian. I dislike it, but my people will know I love them.

Hi capitalism, I am in Minneapolis, your emails will have to wait. My money is going to neighbors via mutual aid.

And she fell asleep after a day friends gathered around the table, finding joy amongst the grief, laughter from cards played, whistle kits assembled, potatoes consumed in so many varieties, and in house filled to brim with love in the city she loves.

Glad I knocked for both of them. This is leadership.

natasha docktor, MFT vice president at minneapolis families for public schools presser on ICE at roosevelt high school: “what we’ve seen saw in minneapolis on wednesday was an escalation of an existing threat.. school being canceled because the conditions in our city with these agents are unsafe.”

So proud to know @christin612.bsky.social and be in the fight with her. We will not stop.
