Just a reminder for Xmas Eve eve, it’s a great time find your closest immigrant-owned business and support them. Get a meal tonight from a restaurant if you can. Commit to buying grocery staples at an immigrant-owned market once a week. Do what you can to help people keep their heads above water.

Making the winter drive from Mpls->Mke and cursing Scott Walker the whole time bc we should be on a train that takes 3 hours maximum and has 6 different departure times every day and a food and beverage car and it provides great jobs to ppl who love trains and the environment.

The city is like "do this thing, for your neighbors!" so we do! And then they come by and eff it all up and laugh (I assume).

minneapolis, be aware - national right wing youtuber nick shirley is here. he was in loring park this afternoon sniffing around somali businesses. remember that he was at lake and bloomington, despite not living here, so he seems to get early information

@amyklobuchar.com is not a leader and it's past time for her to go. MN and this country deserve way better. Trans and Intersex people will not be erased. Shame on everyone who votes against their humanity.

MPD is assisting ICE. We all knew they would. Abolish ICE and anyone and everyone who is assisting in their kidnapping of our neighbors.

Dear neighbor, We’re seeing increased immigration enforcement impacting Latino families in our neighborhoods, South Minneapolis, Phillips and Lake Street. Unfortunately, ICE extra busy today. 1/

Please read this Facebook post from Darnella Frazier about her sister Rekeya, who is in federal custody. For those who don't know, Darnella was the girl who shared the first viral video of George Floyd's murder.

We have received so many donations and we are still almost out of blankets AGAIN. If you have extras, if you can go to the Goodwill By the Pound locations, if you can find a bag sale, we give them out at the same rate as we are getting them in, it is dangerously cold out.

Creating a thread of egregious ICE actions in the Twin Cities over the last 12 days. For those who aren't plugged into what's going on - it can feel remote and "not so bad." Likewise for folks far away. So this collection of stories and links aims to share a small part of the story.

The @minneapolismn.gov is actively making the sidewalks worse. Not only do they neglect to clear the sidewalks, but they also take snow and ice chunks *from the street* and put it onto the sidewalks.

Dear neighbor, This morning, ICE surrounded a construction site with Latino workers in this dangerously cold weather. One worker had to leave in an ambulance because they were forced to stay on the roof of the construction site as ICE attempted to kidnap them. 1/

Liberals are constantly trying to indoctrinate our young people. You can see the proof in this colorful PragerU video presented by the Young America's Foundation at a Turning Point USA school club meeting.

“She has marks on her neck and wrist from where agents restrained her. Agents cut off her wedding ring and held her in leg shackles at Whipple Federal Building for about five hours.” Her crime: witnessing ICE, from a distance.

the people ripping out their hair over "Somali Fraud" do not bat an eye at MPD being $19 million over budget, because their so called values are as fraudulent as the schemes themselves

Hi everyone, I’m asking you all to be cautious and careful. There have been raids around our community today. It’s disheartening to see this behavior that is tearing families apart. 1/

Seriously. Let’s give it a break. It’s tired and boring. 🥱 Exploiting fears on safety and misleading community for political benefit—it gets in the way of us actually coming together on community safety and care.

Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Twin Cities: ICE is out terrorizing people. Please be aware. If you see them, call 612-441-2881 and then pull out your phone to record. Comply if they tell you to step aside but keep recording. You are legally allowed to film them.

HOMELESSNESS IS NOT A DRUG PROBLEM IT'S A HOUSING PROBLEM I'm so sick of y'all in my mentions with this talking point, just stop. PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD RENT. Half of renters are paying over 30% of their income on rent, another quarter are paying over 50%!!! People need homes they can afford!

Neighbors - you do not need anyone's permission to sound your whistle when you spot ICE. Nor do you need to attend a whistle training first. Here's everything you need to know.

I want everyone to flip out over this proposal to give the mayor a $46,000 raise. I completely agree that our elected officials should be well paid. But people tear their hair out over council pay, so we need to bring that same energy to this one. lims.minneapolismn.gov/Download/RCA...

I was happy to see a Bobcat clearing the corners where the plows had left huge piles. But then I saw the Bobcat clearing the sides of the street and blowing the snow onto the sidewalk. Our school Engineer is already overworked and now he has to shovel the whole block again, or leave it covered.

Boosting this virtual training opportunity tomorrow (Wednesday!) Register in advance for this webinar: zoom.us/webinar/regi...

I am disgusted with the President's racist and horrific comments regarding the Somali community here in Minnesota. Somali folks are welcome here. Refugees Welcome.

Heads up Whittier and environs, a friend saw ICE lurking on her street (E 27th) a few min ago and I’ve heard from several other people they’ve been spotted in the swath between northern kingfield and MIA approximately

This evening, a resident was kidnapped by agents with face coverings. They disguised themselves in masks and as Uber drivers. They even left kids abandoned inside a car in the freezing cold. 1/

METRO Blue Line alert: Due to a mechanical issue, trains may experience delays up to 45 minutes in the area of Cedar Riverside Station. ~BG

Hey Zine folks❗️ Is there already a good zine out there for helping people set up Signal? If I can avoid reinventing the wheel, that'd be great. I will, but don't want to have to make a series on • what is Signal & why people use it • downloading it & getting started • intermediate tips & tricks

Someone in my FB Buy Nothing group asked for a DVD player bc they don't wanna support Netflix. Another neighbor commented that the show she wants to watch is on Amazon Prime & OP was like, "thanks, that works!" Lol, wut. I assumed she didn't like rich assholes, but apparently that wasn't the issue 🙃

Hey fellow parents, when you put "no presents, please" on a kid's b-day party invite, do you really mean it? I'm asking bc *I* really mean it, but we have 2 parties this weekend & these parents bought my kid gifts when I said no presents on the invite. Do I get their kids gifts?!? -Confused parent

I’m asking everyone to vote for a new Mayor by Tuesday and rank all 3 of Omar Fateh, Dewayne Davis, and Jazz Hampton in whichever order you prefer. I’ve worked at City Hall for the last 4 years and from my personal experiences I believe the City desperately needs a new mayor. Long thread 🧵

I remember when everyone in the Frey camp was outraged when a brown woman said “fuck” a few months ago

Nothing beats fascism like compromise.

i am at the midwest climate resilience conference and i will tell you this…it is 1000% better to be in a climate space full of scientists doing adaptation work than a usual climate conference full of tech bros trying to make their fortune these people are literally getting their hands dirty

Yep. Esp with strong mayor amendment giving him more power. His opponents are also not the one with broken relationships with county and state leaders.

unearthed video from a 2017 candidate forum, since we’ve previously only had a screenshot of his tweet making this promise: jacob frey says he will end homelessness in 5 years

"They were throwing people’s medicine in the bin in front of them and laughing in their faces."

re: jacob frey’s new ad taking credit for safe homes stable schools, he vetoed the budget that would’ve increased its funding

"A permanent fence will be put up by the Minnesota Department of Transportation later this week, according to Ally Peters, spokesperson for Mayor Jacob Frey." www.startribune.com/minneapolis-... This mayor continues to ignore actual soutions, we have a better choice here y'all #DontRankFrey

Evidently @mayorfrey.com and @mndot.mn.gov have decided that permanent fencing will be installed early next week. This is an attack on our active and public transit system and the citizens who rely on these connections. Curious what @metrotransitmn.bsky.social has to say about this...

its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

Cities & cops & local businesses & the median voter & the news: If u love homeless people so much why don't u let them live on YOUR land Hamoudi Sabri: Ok, I will Cities & cops & local businesses & the median voter & the news: No! Tear down their tents & kick em out! Hamoudi Sabri: No, I will not
