Hey folks Calvary Food Shelf has been helping out people in Minneapolis for 30 years, and now they’re ramping up to meet the crisis, including doing home deliveries so people don’t have to risk going out. They’re just over halfway to their current goal—let’s get them all the way, shall we?

On this topic, & also on the topic of what people outside the Twin Cities metro can do to help: Talk to your friends/family/etc about what your sources (Bluesky/friends/TikTok/Youtube/whatever) say is actually happening here as opposed to what FoxNews & CNN are saying is happening. Then show them.

I’m genuinely praying that this the start of something good being done.

It’s actually really liberating from the grip of paranoia to assume you’re being read or listened to and act accordingly. If you assume what you say is public, if you don’t want someone to see it or hear it, don’t say it or do it. But if you do say it, say it with your whole chest

This. I think we need a teach in on the Assumptions of George Floyd Square right now to be honest

We have all our pay links and both wish lists on SupplyDepotmpls.com ❤️

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.

The frigid Twin Cities temperatures will hurt the homeless; so do not gloat about the impact on ICE without also stepping up here:

At least on Friday, Jan 23 if possible! (If not, then your next possible day!)

This is from the chef/owner of the wonderful Venezuelan restaurant Crasqui in St. Paul

This is a trusted account. You can treat their posts as vetted & verified.

it shouldn’t be surprising, but it still is, when major news outlets, even as they report about MN suing the government for this ICE invasion refuse to mention: -ICE going into homes without warrants -Randomly stopping people based on skin color -Detaining citizens -Harassing schools and churches

And honestly, I think in general this attack on my city shows a total lack of understanding the basic character of Minnesotans, underestimating our tenacity, stubbornness, resilience, communality, and absolute willingness to volunteer for shit and show up. The revolution has a Sign-Up Genius.

Legit had this thought process joining a patreon a couple weeks ago, because it was $8 which is basically $5 instead of $10 🤷‍♀️

Please call Senator Smith and Klobuchar & ask them to stop supporting ICE in any way, including in their public statements. (Or use their official contact form on their official website.) Please call your US Representative too: www.house.gov/representati...

If he wants to declare martial law, he will. It won't be based on reality. I don't know why some people continue to say: "be peaceful or he'll invoke martial law." Are you all living in this country in 2026???? Haven't you seen them make things up out of whole cloth???? Are you 10 years old?

If you cannot show up, you perhaps can give? Make sure you can cover your own immediate needs first, please. But no need to hoard dollars that could be doing heavy lifting today!

It is Sunday night. There is work to do, but we need to set a sustainable pace — for our bodies, our families, & our communities. Plan away your TV time in exchange for volunteering & helping, but do not plan away the time you need to sleep or do laundry or work or care for others. Unity in this!

I assume they expected the Latino and Somali population to be against them, but what must be going through their minds for there to be normal looking white people standing on every corner with a whistle?

A friend shared this from Representative Pramila Jayapal.

This is well worth a watch, not just because you can see someone who was on the sidelines quickly become involved and engaged, but because it's another reminder that no one wants these fucking goons in their community.

This bystander goes from hysterically calling the police because her door dasher burst into her house to escape ICE and asking the dasher to leave because she’s scared for herself and her baby, to screaming at ICE “Until you have a warrant signed get off my fucking property.”

Locals! If you go out to eat tonight, Wrecktangle Pizza will donate a pizza to a family hiding from ICE.

school bus driver? you’re doing great. social worker? you’re doing great. phlebotomist? you’re doing great. personal care attendant? you’re doing great. addiction counselor? you’re doing great. school nutrition worker? you’re doing great.

Trying to stay quiet, but a lot of y’all don’t seem to know the Nazis took most of their playbook from how America treated Native Americans & Black people and it shows.

For those interested in volunteering at JUFS: I can say from experience that the front desk blocks (ie greeting, answering phones, helping ppl with appointments) are always the last to fill up. If you don't have phone anxiety AND can speak a bit of Spanish, this is a great thing to do right now.

Big nested thread of videos — watch:

My kind of ice

Trying to explain what it feels like in the Twin Cities right now to people who aren’t here and haven’t experienced this is genuinely crazy-making.

Big thread of nested quote posts, please take a look for some needed power and calm

Goal met! Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

Drove 5.7 miles to get tacos from a Mexican-owned restaurant today. It’s not unusual for some of these places to be closed Sundays, but: El Pariente, Red Luna Seasons, Mr. Taco, Red Luna Taco Factory, and Catrina’s were all closed today. El Itacate was open and busy.

Let's be clear (and I'm not being cute): this is DHS trying to get ahead of the inevitable moment when they shoot a baby.

Hey pals, I vouch for unraveled in a big way. I've seen them cover shit in Chicago expertly and sensitively.

Thanks for updating the list Ian!

Guys like @mcuban.bsky.social could certainly fund and invest in PBS News until funding is restored, if they were interested in promoting democracy.

Well I just bought a body cam. It can double as a dash cam, so that will be useful.

How would we regulate the border and immigration without something that's existed for only 9% of our country's history is the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time.

Recall your skills and abilities! I am CERTAIN that they can be repurposed in this moment.

This information the account posts shouldn’t be on social media. Yeah I think we should block that one, friends

The Monarca hotline was not meant to be 911. It’s a 6 month old system, and it’s buckling under the demand. Signal groups. Meet outside in person. Old fashioned flyers with fringies on the bottom. No one is coming to save us. We have to protect those more vulnerable than us.

I also wrote to my city council member to ask for an eviction moratorium while ICE/CBP are active since so many people can't work.

If you are not a Minneapolis local: Jason is an elected official with a long history of community service and aid. The Venmo address goes to another trusted and devoted community member

I am studying to be a nurse, and I have to figure out how to do that through a federal occupation of my city that leaves many of my classmates vulnerable to abduction and hunger. Caring for others is my personal protest against an uncaring regime, and I have to hope it's enough for the days ahead.

The porn aspect of what ICE/CBP crucial. Here's an excellent piece of journalism on how they literally stimulated riots for the camera in Chicago. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...
