Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Powderhorn Rent Fund. Unfortunately, Governor Walz has refused to enact an eviction moratorium, so we need the help of our community. gofund.me/335f2d840

This week’s episode is INS v. Delgado, a case that helped build the foundation for ICE’s impunity, where the Court held that federal agents raiding your workplace doesn’t necessarily implicate the 4th Amendment.

it irritates me when i hear people say stuff like "well EVERYONE supported the iraq war after 9/11, we were all fooled" bitch speak for yourself

The Ford worker who heckled Trump during a visit to the company's plant still has his job and "has no discipline on his record," a union official said

Civil rights lawyer Nekima Levy Armstrong's latest brief reveals the backstory of her arrest in a footnote. Feds refused to let her self-surrender, taped her arrest at a hotel, and broke a promise not to post it on social media, she says. The White House then digitally altered it to smear her.

referring to the continued abduction, torture, and assault on a entire metropolis as “immigration stuff” might be one of the most evil libshit things i’ve ever read

"people I have gone city to city with" okay tourist. stop pretending you have concrete facts about what's happening in a town you left. This whole thread is misinformation at best. she muted it, she should have deleted.

people don’t want to hear it because were sick of being lied to, because you’re a liar

Chughtai can't support this particular funding source: Developing new affordable housing brings vital long term benefit to the city. Can't pit this against rental assistance. Both are critical needs.

Shaffer, looking for a friend, smiling and pointing at her pal Chavez: "Chavez, help me. What do we want to postpone this til?" Chavez, not being a good friend: "today"

If you've received a sizable government grant to repair the sewer line connection to your house, are you allowed to be a council member trashing the idea of boosting rental assistance citing your skepticism of the effectiveness of government programs? Feels wrong.

Chughtai, in wide eyed wonder at what she's hearing, responds to idea that the undeserving will exploit rental assistance: if you have income at the level of minimum wage, couldn't pay your rent for whatever reason, and you've been served an eviction notice, you're by definition a person in need.

Robin Wonsley is the true mayor and you can’t convince me otherwise

Wonsley: please submit your evidence of rental assistance fraud to county government across the street, otherwise "consider joining the MAGA movement."

Council Member Wonsley urging colleagues (Warren) to "use caution when using fraud as a basis of creating distrust... especially in light of that same type of rhetoric being used by right wing" to justify federal occupation that created need for this funding in the first place.

Council Member Osman: what have we done besides press conferences? What has the city of Minneapolis done in response to this crisis?

notice this doesn’t say skyways. bring your trash up!

CORRECTION: This rule does not go into effect tomorrow, it goes into effect 30 days after tomorrow. My apology.

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.

Hi all! There's too many families struggling and too many snowy sidewalks. We aim to try to help with both! Please share this with your North Minneapolis neighbors! venmo.com/NorthMplsMA to schedule, contact: [email protected] #mpls #fuckICE

Commissioner Kay Carvajal Moran votes against Al Flowers' preference on the Uptown Mall. Then he responds to her, "c'mon immigrant community, that I'm out there fighting for." (he thinks a Mexican American commissioner owes him her vote bc he's personally anti-ICE?) Then Garcia yells at Flowers.

flip side of this: y’all should really watch the ‘Richard III’ he’s in, too.

Minneapolis City Council likely to pass $1 million in rental assistance funding today in response to financial hardship caused by ongoing federal occupation of the Twin Cities. Source of the money is contingency funds. Hennepin County will administer it.

It cost me $66.70 to get this transcript. Money well spent. I don't need anyone to reimburse me. But, if you got something out of this transcript, please consider making a $66.70 donation, or even $6.67, to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund, which posts bond for immigration detainees. mibfc.org

All correct, but this list misses the most important quality. They do not care AT ALL about you or what you’re doing. Completely ungovernable. Nothing you do will hurry them, scare them, or make them move from their predetermined chaotic path.

some of the most hilarious local salon/cosmetology industry gossip i’ve ever heard that the basement of this building is supposedly deeply haunted and that there was belief from some of the juut higher-ups that there were actual portals down there

if we make it legal to sue comedians Jay Leno's lawyer's inbox might literally explode

so since this all [gestures widely] probably isn’t going to end any time soon, we need to start thinking how we’re gonna weaponize the construction zones and mosquitos. best to be prepared

I am begging you all. Please Please Please don't let this place be lost.

Some people say it isn't cool to like Pizza Luce pizza anymore, but they're still my favorite, and also this top-down ethnic cleansing campaign in Minnesota is abhorrent and it would be great if it could be stopped somehow.

Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

Amir Locke. MPD murdered him on 2.2.2022 May his memory be a revolution.

The needs are so great across our communities right now. I'm so proud and grateful my neighbors are organizing with each other and local leaders to help + provide relief to those who are struggling to make rent/bills. Please share + donate to help keep folks safe! www.gofundme.com/f/Greater-Lo...

This is how Tom Homan reacts to losing a court case to free a medically fragile 5-year-old who was used as bait to lure his dad so they could be imprisoned in a measles factory. Fuck any de-escalation stories that come out.

Alex Pretti memorial bike ride from the air. youtu.be/K3I41XdxOCo?...

Ride starting now. About 1500.

In addition to sweet Liam Conejo Ramos, more than 3,800 children have been detained.

if you feel like passing around a link today and helping fundraise for rent that will actually get paid today (and in the next few days for families who have a grace period) you can send here. we will be going hard all day. i won’t be posting about it because I don’t want to flood your feeds.

As MPD shows up and tries to claim separation from ICE, people in the crowd roundly reject them. The "fuckaroundandfindout-about" is still going strong!

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

Tbh good or bad, Will does not deserve this much attention.

Has the organization of Save Our Street, the rich NIMBYs who want to stop the Summit Avenue bike lane, said anything about the church they hold their meetings in being led by the director of the local ICE field office?

We’ve been asked about data on where/when ICE has been in our parks. I put together a quick Google map using the summary data the commissioners receive from the superintendent regarding reported sightings. Click on the legend and you can see incidents by date. www.google.com/maps/d/viewe...

some good news buried among the horrible behavior listed: “The third woman said federal agents at her hotel are subsisting on microwavable bowls of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup, because it’s become so difficult for them to find restaurants willing to serve them.”

Don Lemon will be fine. Here’s who actually needs funds for legal defense.

Please help! We already have more people needing rent money than we have money and tomorrow is the last day of the month! We have babies to clothe and children to feed. givebutter.com/bloomingtonMA

actually speak to your neighbors sometimes, I promise it’ll be okay!

one thing being lost in discourse is that rapid response networks are just a tool. they aren’t the end all, be all here. the actual goal is to connect with neighbors! and now with the leaks, they’re not being handed out like they were go talk to your neighbors to find a chat! or you can make one!

If anyone has contact information of the family who’s father was kidnapped by ICE at the McDonald’s in Bloomington (Southtown Center) please let me know. His son went into the Whipple building to make sure his dad got his heart medication. 1/

These arrests are *obviously* unjust. Even in more peaceful times, we rely on a free press as a check on our government & institutions. During this heinous federal occupation? They are needed even more -- particularly local independent journalists like Gerogia Fort! www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
