Are you going to caucus? Repost if you are, let’s see some numbers.

I love that she wasn’t letting that awful person control the moment. She reclaimed the podium and continued. Also, how much did I love her instinct to go get him? So great. I hope it is benign liquid and everything is ok for her.

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I went to brunch there a couple weeks ago with friends and then we went to the MIA. It was a nice weekend. They have bottomless mimosas for brunch.

Hello world. There was another murder by ICE yesterday in Minneapolis. In case you see this from outside of the United States, help please. We are trying to get them to leave and they are demanding our voter rolls to stop killing us. Maybe Canada will let Manitoba have MN?

Well that is something. I got teary. Thanks Boston.

This. It is Saturday morning and the first video I saw today was from the vantage of a popular donut spot. Literally down the sidewalk from the Greek restaurant we go to to celebrate. We had dinner there when @lollardfish.bsky.social had a book signing and when our friend got their masters. WTF.

Heated Rivalry Fun Fact: Minnesota Edition!

Things like this make me able to go out. And no, I shan’t share. Mine husband. ❤️

And then my husband made pot roast and I made biscuits and we had some red wine with dinner and I am spent. Long day. We made it to the couch though!

I stood on the corner with my friends and others. It felt good. We had one person yell at us in anger. And hundreds of honks and waves and well wishes. Plus other people came over to join because they heard the honking. Now I am spent. :)

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

I have plans! I may despise my body and feel like it has betrayed me but, I have plans dammit.

Rep. Jared Huffman from California. I want more of this from the people we elected. It’s not fine here. We need help.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

None of these deserve their seats. I hope they all get primaried out. Signed, Protestor from the Occupied States

Where to buy anti-ICE signs in St.Paul or Mpls area? The toy store is sold out again. I can’t seem to get there fast enough to buy one.

This person is brand new and doing nothing but bad mouthing Nekima Levy Armstrong. I recommend the block button.

The church leader is an ICE official. The woman arrested, Nekima Levy Armstrong, is well known for good work here. I believe they want to make an example of a black woman in particular. Especially one as respected as herself.

My family is striking tomorrow. No work, no school, no shopping. What movies about good protests should I make the kids watch for education? I am older and was radicalized by decency and anti-apartheid movies when young. So what is good for teens now?

Look I understand the urge to use the devices. I truly do. We destroyed our Amazon tech a couple years ago because they were being allowed to listen and record while passive. I highly recommend removing the devices from your life now. They aren’t worth the support of fascism. Please .

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Today we went to a supermercado and bought more food than we might need. As we walked in we saw three large coolers and opened them. The farthest one had warm, fresh corn tortillas. They are so good.

I would like to point people to this short story by @naomikritzer.bsky.social it really encapsulates a lot of the attitude we hold dear. I love it. www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-...

Am I proud of my state? Yes. Yes I am. Also, that occasionally someone asks for the flag back is hilarious.

So, we see Ha Tien has whole bbq duck, but it is not close to us. Do any food related peeps know where to find a delicious bbq duck in the Northern Suburbs?

We had the band over yesterday to celebrate the eldest child. We forgot to put out the ice cream. Also, there is basically a leftover 2 liter of root beer. Now it’s a love story.

This is just so on brand for the losers. Also, I hope his head gets frostbite.

Do not go to Cedar Riverside if you don’t live or work there today. There will be plenty of coverage of what happens. You will not get a scoop nor praise if you add fuel to this. Maybe go find a mutual aid org or a new immigrant owned restaurant to visit instead.

Mf’ers. Do not mess with @mischieftoy.com We all love them. Also, do not doubt that the regime is scouring social media for victims.

Hey now. Jan 23rd strike day is endorsed by the AFL-CIO? That’s what we like to see. Full press release: minneapolisunions.org/system/files...

Why did it have to get so personal?

For everyone from other places who want to help. Here is a handy resource of people and orgs needing help!

This is horrible. Let them out! They have more right to be here than the arresting agents.

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

1: I believe in trans rights. Bodily autonomy is a battle cry in our home. 2: Minnesota is suffering many harms right now. Not a single instance is due to trans inclusive athletics. 0. None. 3: ICE out of MN now.

Reposting this morning. They are at 89%. Bobby needs specialized nutritional support and it costs 1700$ a month. Can folks help them make it to the full amount? I really do appreciate all the support so far. This family is dear to me.

If you can help Valerie and Bobby it would be a great kindness. I have known them Bobby’s whole life and they are dear to us. Anne was an amazing person and it was a very aggressive cancer.

From ice out dot org. Really stunning comparison.

And now we have a nineteen year old!

I love this. Ways to help for outside the MN folks. I recommend following these folks as they are continuing this work. And in general are awesome.

Strong “Stop making me hit you” vibes from one of our abusers.

I lived by this corner for over ten years. Every year there was a huge puppet parade that went down the street, the sun returning to everyone’s joy. I bought food, would catch my bus to work, and went to the doctor at this corner. This is not a war zone. It is a community being destroyed by thugs.

my teacher friend asked, if people have more to give, to help meet the goal on this rent relief fund they have set up for families unable to live home due to their status. if we did $2k in 20 minutes we can do $24k by the end of the day, right? please amplify!

I felt like a cute bunny video might be nice. For those who are doomscrolling before bed like me.

This is a good composite of the videos of the shooting with audio. Plus it isn’t behind any walls. Just click and play. TW: gun shots, violence and death.

I fully believe they will do this. They want MN to crumble and beg. They pulled child care money, why not move on to health care and the disabled? We had some of the best living in the country. They want us broken and submissive.
