Tomorrow City Council will be taking up “Pause Evictions, Save Lives” to temporarily increase the required notice for eviction to 60 days to give families an extra month to make rent. No family should have to choose between keeping a roof over their head and risking being kidnapped by ICE.

i know the organizers and give this a Mega Vouch (graphic courtesy of @windowseat.bsky.social)

If you don't know (and why would you, based on law enforcement actions in the real world), almost all non-lethal munitions are supposed to be shot AT THE GROUND. Not even at people's legs or torsos, much less their faces. There are no non-lethal weapons that are supposed to be aimed neck up.

We've paid 32 families rent today. Thank you to the random one of you who paid like half of those.

it's so cool that court orders no longer mean anything if the admin doesn't like them. definitely a functioning judicial system and government we have here. (note: this is not an invitation to doomer generally nor one to attack lower court judges, who are doing their level best and then some.)

today is the last day i will ask you to donate to people’s rent this month. we are trying very hard to meet a $30,000 goal today to help the last few families on our list before their rent grace period ends.

At some point in the next few weeks, a Minnesotan will hold an "ICE OUT" sign on the podium or at the end of their competition, and they will become a local hero

People in Minnesota love doing three things in winter: 1. Going outside. 2. Making weird fun things. 3. Telling you ALL ABOUT the weird fun things they’ve made.

#GVerse Karoline Leavitt just admitted coordination between #Shit4Brains, Tulsi Gabbard, and the FBI seizing Fulton County ballots... right after #ShitFace said he wants to "nationalize the voting." If true, this is a massive scandal.

For the record, as a matter of chronology, Operation Metro Surge began on December 4th, long before Shirley. And the fraud was well documented beginning FIVE YEARS ago. So this timeline is off. By altering the narrative like this, the NYT is aiding the Administrations pretext campaign.

Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet. But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...

According to FOX 9, a Minneapolis federal judge demanded to know why DOJ is missing deadlines & AUSA Julie Le said, "The system sucks, this job sucks" & asked to be held in contempt so she could sleep. PACER shows she got assigned to defend the govt in 88+ cases since Operation Metro Surge started.

Dude wrote “COURAGE” on the memo line. Goddamn.

An 11-year-old girl from Columbia Heights remains in ICE detention at the Dilley, Texas facility — where measles cases have been reported — sparking concern among family, community members and advocates.

BERNIE SANDERS: Do vaccines cause autism? BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism SANDERS: Nah. Uh uh. I didn't ask measles. Do vaccines cause autism? BHATTACHARYA: I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

We worked real hard to keep the number of polling stations low in blue areas, creating massive precincts, and for some reason those votes take longer to count now, and they are still all for the Democrats? Explain that with your "science"!

Xavier was driving to work when he was stopped and detained by 15 DHS agents. Xavier has an active, pending asylum case with USCIS and he has a work permit and social security card. The DHS agents did not ask him any questions. This family of four has lost their life savings. gofund.me/b9518f5ca

Let's not forget 2 of the 4 prosecuted for the 3rd District were from Greater Minnesota--Brainerd area IIRC.

if you're curious why Children's MN is yet another hospital system pausing gender affirming care for minors, the answer as always is that the Trump administration would rather bankrupt hospitals than let parents choose the right healthcare for their own children.

this is fucking devastating. children’s has been handling gender affirming care for kids and teens since my mom worked there 15 years ago. it’s so fucked that the government can do this.

*return of the measels* *secret police that target elementary schools* *billionaire sex trafficking ring* Republicans: this is fine, ideal actually Trans person: *exists* Republicans: won't somebody think of the children 😡😭

Democratic electeds going "there just nothing we can do 😔" while Mamdani is doing very many things in real time, sure is something to see

Our expectations were low but HOLY FUCK did they manage to dive beneath all human decency on this one.

The fee to tell us we're doing it wrong is a minimum donation of $1,000 to one of a combination of needs on www.standwithminnesota.com Show me your receipts. THEN you get to tell us how we "should" be protecting our neighbors, feeding them, paying their rents, all while staying afloat ourselves.

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

"Minnesota families who have been sheltering in place for days or weeks need access to basic first aid and health supplies. Voices for Racial Justice is raising funds to purchase needed supplies like bandaids, antibiotic ointment, cold & flu support, and prenatal vitamins for those who need them."

Hey, um, if there's other drummers who wanna do this but don't have a drumset, i literally have a full set in my attic that i will gladly give to you. (but you have to use it for this).

Look at this little guy! $4 of every $6.00 sale goes to Minneapolis Mutual Aid funds. lizclaytonfuller.com/products/the...

Jingle dress dancers gathered at the sites where Renee Macklin Good and Alex Pretti were killed to offer prayer, healing and solidarity through ceremony, drawing hundreds of people in south Minneapolis amid ongoing federal immigration operations.

For all you debating whether to attend the DFL caucus know this: The DFL endorsement will be vital in Peggy Flanagan defeating gratitude-for-ICE Angie Craig.

I can’t read this unsolicited letter from the Strib with anything but sarcasm a lot of words to say “we know you’ll eventually die off, but in the meantime we’ll pretend to care about printing that paper you’ve already paid for” There are times when it would be better to say nothing at all.

Yes all of those committing violence on behalf of the state should be unknown and masked. This makes perfect sense. Maybe they can all get matching hoods instead though.

Just scrolled past a post that said - having a body cam is just the first step, you also have to turn it on and release the footage. BUT BY THEN THE PERSON HAS ALREADY BEEN HARMED. Body cams are a step towards more surveillance, NOT a step towards prevention OR accountability. This post has more ⬇️

That means ~815k Minnesotans participated in the shutdown and ~310k in the strike. That would make Minnesota’s January 23 general strike one of the largest in history.

“When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life. But standing here in MPLS and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn’t imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter.”

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone."

👇🎯 Not once has the national media asked a GOP politician about affording ICE the way Biden/the Dems were asked about the cost of student loan debt relief & literally everything else for the last 50 years.

@governorwalz.mn.gov do something about this

When this is over, the Whipple building needs to be raised and a memorial to those who have suffered in govt run concentration camps should be erected.

Once again, throw your Echos, your Apple HomePods, your Google Homes, every single smart device straight in the trash. They are listening all of the time. This is not tin foil hat shit.

Trump Steaks have been on a two-year hiatus for 18 years.

I'll be the the first to say that most of us are paid and it says who pays us on the taxes we file every year and where we spend our time working for that pay when not trying to protect neighbors from being abducted. That is more than I can say for the billionaires that don't pay their share.

Like the majority of his constituents, Tom Emmer never steps foot in the twin cities unless he’s forced to by work, he’s going to a sporting event or concert, or he has to take his ugly little bigot family to the MOA, and as soon as he’s done, he tucks tail and scuttles back to his bigot hinterland.
