2026 Red Loons Individual Membership IMPORTANT NOTE - 2026 memberships are once again paired with Wonderwall season tickets. If you have a season ticket in the Wonderwall and have chosen your group, you are automatically a member of that...

Our 2026 membership scarves are in transit and there's a *chance* we may have them Saturday for the season opener - so come hang out at @blackhartstp.com as we take on Austin!

Here's the link to buy membership (for those who do not have season tix in the Wonderwall): tinyurl.com/yp56k3mv

We stand with @slcp.bsky.social and support their call for @stlcitysc.com to reverse a decision that makes some identities subordinate to others.

We believe in the importance of an inclusive environment because, whether their front office likes it or not, Love Always Wins.

We stand with the Punks and Riot Grrrls and the trans community!

We'll never waiver in our support for trans inclusion and extend the hands of friendship to those who do as well.

We are glad to see these folks point out the rank hypocrisy in featuring some identities but not others on game day!

Today marks the start of Black History Month! It is a time to center the lived experiences and struggles of African Americans, past and present. This month, and every month, we lift up those voices yearning for justice!

The Wonderwall needs you!

We're looking for a few new board members to help coordinate the amazing stuff @mndarkclouds.bsky.social, @redloons.bsky.social, and TNE are doing on matchdays and beyond.

Nominate yourself or someone else here: forms.gle/RiCaLSCVD3rW...

ICE has murdered again in Minneapolis. Again we are speechless.

We must continue to rise up against their brutal violence!

JUSTICE FOR ALEX!

We wish everyone a very happy General Strike day!

Today is the day we stand up with our friends and neighbors and drive these authoritarian pricks out of our state.

Things are dire, yes, but do not let them take your joy. We outnumber them. Let them know it!

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the [the] great stumbling block in [our] stride toward freedom is ... the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action." ... Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Letter from Birmingham Jail

On Good Friday in 1963, the day Dr. King was arrested for protesting, a group of white clergymen wrote an open letter called "A Call to Unity."

It said, essentially, "don't take the bait."

Dr. King responded in his Letter from Birmingham Jail.

Today is MLK day. Today you will see one particular quote weaponized by politicians to gloss over his overarching project - a society of racial, economic, and social justice. In this moment, where those things feel so far away, may his memory show us how much is possible in one lifetime.

Black background with the Wonderwall logo (a sky blue scarf in the shape of a W) at the top and a blue line below it. Below that header is white text reading: 

Wonderwall stands with every single person opposing the ICE occupation of our state, the oppression of our communities, 
and the abduction of our people.

In the week since Renee Nicole Good was murdered, Minnesotans have stood extraordinarily tall in defense of
their communities against the mindless thuggery of ICE.

In spite of ICE’s open hostility, we have seen people put everything on the line to keep the state’s most vulnerable away from the fascist forces that should never have been here.
Your action has not gone unnoticed.
We will support you as long as we breathe. 

If you haven’t gotten involved yet, the time is now: 
You are needed.

Evocatively and unequivocally: FUCK ICE; Be Good

Choose your 2026 Supporter Group

So it pales in comparison to much of what's happening in our community, but SG affiliations have begun. We sent an email out, but it went to a lot of folks' spam.

If you're a season ticket holder in the Wonderwall, check your spam folder or just fill out the form here: forms.gle/zcsCPnJyu3dm...

ICE came to the Twin Cities to harass and terrorize our immigrant communities and today they have murdered Renee Good, a peaceful observer, as she attempted to drive away from them.

If the regime thinks their aggression and their lying about their aggression will stymie opposition to their thuggish fascism, they need to think again.

Justice must prevail for Renee.

Enthusiastically and unequivocally, FUCK ICE.

An email went out this morning from Wonderwall with instructions on affiliating with an SG for 2026!

Check your spam folder as there have been reports indicating it may have landed there (it did for admin).
