with the heavy rain this spring/summer, the water damage in the home is growing. we’re going to manage any indoor repairs and replacements, but the roof is out of our scope, and we need help. any amount is so so helpful, even if it’s just a dollar or two! thank you! 💸: venmo.com/code?user_id...

i mentioned this on stream the other day, but we’re helping my very beloved community member and their sweet kid get a proper roof on their house! they’ve done SO much for our neighborhood, they’ve been a safe place to land for so many people, we want them safe too! venmo.com/code?user_id...

you have the right to record public officials doing their job in public (glik vs cunniffe, 2011). minnesota is a one party consent to film/record state. the first amendment protects your right to free and public expression of opinions without censorship, interference, or restraint by the government.

I just finished reading the indictment. There are 276 statements in it. The overwhelming majority seem to be accusing the defendants of being involved in organizing blockades and of being anarchists. There is one claim that one defendant kicked a police car...

watching the livestream announcing "Minneapolis Antifa members to face federal charges." I'll livetweet it I guess. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ0h...

Solidarity and love from Minneapolis. ICE is in Memphis right now with 1700 agents but the Governor supports it so you don’t hear much about it in the MSM.

Another day of scattered ICE sightings in Chicagoland as feds continue surveilling neighborhoods + courthouses. The day started with an early morning detention in Carol Stream. This afternoon, video from Waukegan of agents surrounding a lone child in a car is circulating (guardian presumed taken).

How Memphis Is Responding to ICE and National Guard Presence share.google/LZBsSbAJLDlE...

4. ICE-holes have been terrorizing Memphis residents, including those who record them, as covered by Ashley Renee (ashtalks substack). One woman was jailed 27 hrs (in a space with neither a bed nor room to lie down) for exercising her legal right to film.

ICE is terrorizing Memphis So why isn't this a major national story like Minneapolis? * Tennessee’s GOP run a repressive theocracy - people trying to document are violently attacked * Markwayne has his orders: fill those concentration camp beds, but on the down-low * It's a majority Black city 😡

if you’re in or near memphis doing community organizing and looking for support, please get in touch, i can try to get you connected to some of our minneapolis resources

Memphis deserves all the national attention and outpouring of love we experienced here in Minnesota.

Nothing is inevitable

BIG WIN: 8-5! We just passed a temporary data center moratorium and I was proud to be lead author alongside my colleague Jason Chavez, @jchavezmpls.bsky.social 🧵

On the same day, Mayor Frey vetoed two pieces of legislation that could have materially helped neighbors who have been targeted and traumatized by the last 5 months. 4/?

Today is day 149 of the ICE occupation of MN. In impacted neighborhoods across the metro, you see these signs everywhere. We won’t forget what ICE has done here. And we won’t stop standing up for our neighbors.

Armed federal, state, and local law enforcement participated in these raids. And although not directly ICE raids, these continue to perpetuate false narratives around our immigrant neighbors. Minnesotans have proven we’ll stand up over the last 148 days, and we still stand together. 2/2

Today is day 148 of the ICE occupation of MN. This morning, neighborhoods across the Twin Cities woke up to raids on daycare centers, with families confronted by armed federal agents when arriving for the day. Children that have already been through so much are experiencing renewed trauma. 1/2

Today is day 146 of the ICE occupation of MN. Rent is due in 4 days. While thousands of rapid responders stood up to ICE in the streets, thousands of others stepped forward to build mutual aid networks to keep our neighbors housed Please contribute!

not now esports misogyny, mommy’s city is being occupied by armed forces <3

I've done my part. Anyone else who has a Ko-Fi, please write in your responses against AI in their survey. ko-fi.com/survey I am quite tired of this. So many companies that are in "support" of authentic artists turn around to cater against the humanities.

Monkey wrenching is such an under appreciated form of protest

It’s day 106 of the ICE occupation of MN. Although the number of ICE agents here has decreased, we know that ICE is still active here and ramping up in other states. We stand in solidarity with all communities experiencing ICE activity, and with everyone standing up to keep their neighbors safe.

It’s day 110 of the ICE occupation of MN. Today’s record breaking warmth in the Twin Cities, paired with trusted patrollers, meant that many kids who have been in hiding were able to go to the park playgrounds for the first time in months. Abolish ICE (so kids can return to their childhoods!)

It’s day 112 of the ICE occupation of MN. On Thursday the Minneapolis City Council has the opportunity to override the mayor’s veto. See this excellent thread from Eric on why this is so important. Evict ICE, not our neighbors!

I wrote a (long) thing! I must also credit the LA Reporting Collective conversations that really informed a lot of this, especially @papayathemariah.bsky.social at @lapublicpress.bsky.social, @adamrose.bsky.social of @freedom.press, and photojournalist Zaydee Sanchez. And my work at @fi2w.org!

The first story-episode of @streampunksrpg.bsky.social 'BloomTide' TTRPG on @althaven.bsky.social, using the Wildsea setting, began with the sighting of a 'Ghost ship'...

LETS GO WISCONSIN

NEW: When a Wisconsin mayor ended his city's contract with Flock (the AI surveillance company), he was stunned to see Flock refused to remove cameras. So he covered them with plastic bags. Now local activists are taking their fight to Madison & the Dane County sheriff, wanting more cameras gone.

This is for people who need honesty: Do you want to help but don't know how? Have you not volunteered since community service was required in high school but want to? Do you desperately want to do something but the idea of giving up your only free time is a big hurdle? I got you.

Going live now with episode 1 of BloomTide. Come watch the start of the adventure of this Wildsea game on YouTube and Twitch right now! YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/4u9q3hCTD8s Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/althaven_

this is wildly specific, but if anyone knows of where i could find an adapter for a graco infant carrier to connect to a discontinued pre-2005 bob’s jogging stroller, i would be so appreciative! we are also on the lookout for a 3D model of this piece to attempt to print if we can.

MINNESOTA: ICE appears to be targeting Roseville pretty hard today, multiple abductions have already been reported. if you can be on the lookout and warn your neighbors, please do. protecting each other is up to us.

jacob frey can pretend to be progressive til the cows come home, but at the end of the day, he is a spineless coward and an accomplice to the devastation of our communities in minneapolis. fuck ice. fuck the sheriffs. fuck frey. and fuck walz while we’re at it too.

“This veto is a slap in the face of our immigrant neighbors who have been demonized and forced back into the shadows and the community who has spent months fundraising to keep families together.” - Council Member @jchavezmpls.bsky.social

“This is a veto rooted in cowardice, not the livelihoods of our residents.” - City Council President @elliottpayne.org

Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”

A veto of the 60-day pre-eviction notice tells people that you want them evicted into the cold earlier and that you’re unwilling to protect our immigrant neighbors. Let Mayor Frey know you want him to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives. - Phone: 612-673-2100 - Email: [email protected]

It’s day 99 of the ICE occupation of MN. We’re still out patrolling and raising money and delivering groceries to keep our neighbors safe. Call and ask Mayor Frey to do the same by NOT vetoing Pause Evictions, Save Lives. Phone: 612-673-2100 Email: [email protected]

Postal services around the world that use birds as logos. One of my favorite poster graphics I've made! 🐦✉️

a bunch of local musicians and bands recently released a 30-song album called thaw! each of the tracks were written and recorded during the ongoing federal occupation in minnesota. all proceeds will be used to support minneapolis communities 🫶

We were literally watching our community provide a ceremony at the Whipple building. Hennepin County Sheriff’s then began to escalate tensions. This was disrespectful to our community, our culture, and our ancestors. This created fear and was an attack on our right to peacefully assemble.

It’s day 92 of the ICE occupation of MN. Today more than 70 neighbors testified to Mpls City Council members - the vast majority of testifiers were in support of extending pre-eviction notice to 60 days. Our neighbors need more time, and we hope the council will vote to approve on Thursday.

Chavez isn't the only progressive elected official who has been out on the streets during Operation Metro Surge and beyond — but he is possibly the most personally affected by the operation. Two of his uncles have been deported in the past few months.

I profiled Jason Chavez, the Minneapolis city council member who has been embedded in community efforts to combat ICE. “To leave your constituents to face off with a racist fascist regime on their own, without having someone that has some power…I could not let my constituents be out there alone.”
