Is there an app with Peter coyote speaking over distant musket fire and gentle fiddle playing because I would pay up to $7 American dollars per month for that sleep app.

if you want to give money to me directly, my venmo is @glsases i'm a disabled trans woman who's unable to work, and my application for SSI is pending. i'm living at a family member's condo and paying for my daily expenses with my credit card, which is $15k in debt rn. i appreciate any support 💜

today's a great day to send money directly to trans people. twin cities trans mutual aid is a great place if you don't have anyone specific in mind: tctma.org

If you don’t see trans people on here to just Venmo money to today, the trans Santa account is back on IG: www.instagram.com/transanta?ig...

I have a tangential question for Signal-knowers. If I delete a message is that the same as setting disappearing messages? Do they really go away on the back end?

Sound familiar, St Paul?

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

After 6/3, it’s clear we need a stronger Separation Ordinance. Those in Minneapolis interested in stronger protections for our immigrant communities, ⬇️

Especially for friends and neighbors here in Minnesota: a call to proactively, intentionally, consistently show up for the kind of culture work + youth work + future-focused work that TruArtSpeaks does. Please join me in donating before 11/20 to help get the 4x match: www.truartspeaks.org/donation

@repkweisimfume.bsky.social What do you think of my speech? #Baltimore #BMoreGoat

just as an example — each week we budget for 20 tents for distro. This week we have already given out 30, and have a request for 10 more.

You can’t just say None of this is Normal as an elected official. 🗣️. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT WE KNOW ITS NOT NORMAL

Here come Young Blue Eyes....y'all in danger now!

This could fix me

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.” Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter

Yes please. Additionally, you can stand up for immigrants without reinforcing the good immigrant/bad immigrant binary (innocent v criminal). This moment should teach us criminal is just whatever those in power want it to be. It’s a category meant to dehumanize & deny rights

Minnesota8 is a great local immigration org. Bonus points for excellent merch! I’m getting the Turn Up the Heat shirt minnesota8.org/product/turn...

One tiny good thing about Tuesday is that sppd stayed out. When I arrived at the north end of the block, a sppd patrol suv came around the corner, slowed down to look and kept going. If local cops get involved it would have been much worse. Arrests, more injuries Good job, St Paul leadership.

I went to a zoom training tonight for doing school patrols to protect parents & kids from ICE who are showing up at local schools. I cannot believe we live in a country where we as citizens have to patrol elementary schools. I cried. And was equally inspired by my neighbors.

This is normal. This is how ice operates. It takes days even weeks for folks to be found in this system.

Even if you can’t donate, you should read the story of one of the people kidnapped from their workplace in St Paul on Tuesday. This is why we should try to stop every kidnapping. No criminal record. Just racism. They’re breaking up families. www.gofundme.com/f/fn4bw-help...

I don’t know who decided to make it Give to the max month but imo it takes away from the urgency of give to the max Day. Also cue whoever does the not giving mike max nothin guy.

Let's go, Minneapolis & St Paul

The family of one of the workers taken by ICE from Bro-Tex yesterday has set up a Go Fund Me. www.gofundme.com/f/fn4bw-help...?

Erik Alarcon, whose uncle and cousin were detained in Tuesday's operation, says the family had planned to gather for Thanksgiving next week. Now, they’re trying to figure out where their relatives were taken and whether they can contact them.

Posting for a friend - helping Shay is one tangible thing you could do today to make the world better. She has been working so hard and a setback like this is devastating for her, and the sort of thing that gets families torn apart. She only has cashapp - $shaybayy98 #mutualaid #mutualaidsky 💸💕

More than 24 hours later and no comment from our governor on the federal agents that violently escalated things in his capital city yesterday. Legal witnesses run down with cars, chemical agents sprayed at people. Multiple injuries. I see. I see.

We were hit with pepper spray and pepper balls in an escalation by federal agents in St Paul yesterday. @governorwalz.mn.gov @keithellison.bsky.social are you going to do anything to protect Minnesotans from them?

“I’m not trained for this.” Get trained. If you have a smidgen of privilege (citizenship, mayo colored skin, financial resources) you can’t just sit and watch this lawless, brutal administration ripping families apart anymore. Monarca is the best resource in the TC. monarcamn.org/training

blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/19/4... 400 people to be released Friday because there wasn't cause to justify their detention by ICE/border patrol in Chicago

Happening now if you have the spoons.

Some very good in-depth explanatory reporting here on the nuts and bolts of how our immigration courts function. www.ctinsider.com/news/article...

Magnificent. I think we all need Tom Holland doing his umbrella routine. We deserve a little treat. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Brq-...

"I voted for you, Mr. Rapist! Why are you embarrassing me?!??!"

There’s a fine line between legal witness to ice activity and being a protester. A friend of mine is the latter, and showed up in St. Paul yesterday. Walking away from the scene, she was deliberately rammed, run over by a federal agent in a car. She’s sore but ok. How are we going to fight this

we are going to win

My students tell me that this stuff is no longer going viral on their social media accounts. With the ceasefire, the "normal" violence just receded into the background again.

Hey, since Patton Oswalt was reinstated, maybe Bluesky moderation can reinstate someone who was banned for doing the exact same thing.

A large part of our next batch of whistles is headed for this multilingual training on Sunday. Please note that this training is focused on Phillips residents. You can contribute via Venmo @mspwhistles

Noem is mad about the whistles. Good job everyone.
