When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Please share this with small businesses you know that have been impacted by the recent Federal occupation of Minneapolis! www.visitlakestreet.com/economic-res...

Pro tip if you're ever trying to remember how to pronounce Jacob Frey's name: it rhymes with "that fucking guy"

thanks to all of you, we paid four more families rent today.

Today, tomorrow, and the next day, we’ll show up for our neighbors and community. Stay vigilant. Keep surrounding our neighbors in hiding with love and the protection of community. And let’s dream of the day when we have abolished ICE!

The company spokesperson told me that there are no plans for a Torment Nexus for now. "The feature was designed for this use only," they said. It is not designed to implement a Torment Nexus."

Good. Keep going

Today my block leader told me that a volunteer had come and cleaned her kitchen and bathroom. We were breaking Costco-much rice into smaller bags at the time. I hope that one of the things people learn is that we all have gifts we can give, even if it is not showy. It all can help.

We'll never know how many lives the ordinary people of Minnesota saved.

Maya is back open today, and they deliver! I’m just saying

I'm not believing this until I hear from people in the streets of MN and neither should you

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

There are a TON of "normies" (myself included) who were sympathetic but not very activated before, but who are FIRED UP now. Grandparents in Wright County have learned what ACAB means and more. We won't forget, and we won't go back.

guess who was paying people’s rent the fastest? 🏴

I’ll believe it when I see it. Everything they’ve said about this illegal occupation has been built on a lies. We need accountability for our neighbors and for this whole corrupt department to be dismantled. Stay out there, keep your connection to one another, and only believe your eyes.

I don’t believe anything they say, is the thing

The best part about anarchists: We don't wait for someone to give us permission to do the right thing. We just do it.

It’s day 72 of the ICE occupation of MSP. We received some DMs after yesterday’s post asking how to help with rent relief: check out the rent relief funds at StandWithMinnesota.com

NEW: Indigenous activists erected multiple tipis at Coldwater Spring outside Fort Snelling and near the Whipple Federal Building -- headquarters of ICE's Operation Metro Surge -- establishing an occupation demanding 'land back' in the form of “returning Fort Snelling” to the Dakota people. [Video]

of all the “this is the dumbest timeline” examples I think it might be “we are literally living in the plot of 99 Luftballons” for me

-messages from my friends across the country, and world, saying they see us -the sound of angry car horns and whistles -feeling exhausted, but so certain -the people who taught me how -the hundreds of things we will never share publicly, but we did them and it changed our world

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it. I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.” 1/

Rockwell would have painted this.

the kids at one of the schools i volunteer at made this and gave it to me today 😭 the kids are alright 😭😭😭

Federal surveillance aircraft seen today circling high over south Minneapolis with no transponder running: - Known DHS helicopter N893N - midday - Known FBI plane N188SS - evening This report brought to you by a guy who wouldn't have been looking if you'd just run your dang transponder, feds.

I just spent a couple hours in the whistle inbox, inputting 39 requests. They ranged from 100 for a lady who wants to give them out at church to 3,000 for a large union. All over the country, but one common refrain: I want to help. Thanks for helping us do this. 💓 linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

This is beautiful. Thank you, @laurajedeed.bsky.social , and thank you to everyone who was interviewed.

Wow this punched me in all of my feelings. This is Powerful.

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

Ah, a rare free weeknight evening, time to go buy groceries for a family in hiding.

This guy speaks for everyone in Minnesota. I’d rather be talking about tech too!

Just got a message from a signal group saying ICE was photographing *children* getting on and off a school bus today.

"Fight against being ass" is a message that more people need to receive, tbh

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

I keep turning those numbers around and around in my head. During the coldest stretch of the winter we got an average of 34 hot meals a day to unhoused ppl & ppl experiencing food insecurity. We’re nearing 1000 burritos, plus 100s of tacos, tamales & dozens of pizzas. Pastries from local panaderias.

So folks, Who's picking up the baton? We are rightly very proud of the folks who have been pushing their asses off. If you're reading this and you're looking for something to do, please please please speak up so that the folks who are running themselves ragged can tag out.

Another PSA for those in MN: U of M wastewater monitoring is still live for the next 24 hours wastewater.uspatial.umn.edu/sars-cov-2/

you can always start masking again if you’ve stopped. it’s fine, good actually.

General PSA: there is SO MUCH COVID going around right now. If you are feeling sick, you should test

Here's a hidden secret of doorbell cameras, as revealed by Nancy Guthrie's kidnapping. They're recording even when you don't know it, and sending video to company servers even when you don't pay

Minneapolis is still occupied even if national media has looked away. Moon Palace is still running a book drive for Spanish language books. Help out by buying a few. (And skipping the coupon)

if ICE is taking your photograph, seems like one of the best things you can do in the moment is tuck your chin and look down. maybe that's intuitive but the tech does seem to be really weak at that angle, fwiw.

First they came for the immigrants, and the freakiest people you know threw the fuck down because it was never going to end with immigrants.

Oh, well that sounds sustainable. Let’s stake the entire global economy on it!

Everyone here has had to decide what they will and won’t do. Will you take someone in your house? Will you bring them groceries? Will you patrol streets with a whistle? Will you do some other kind of work, of which there are many. And how many of these types.
