My uncle was ours and he was also the black sheep-at least of his generation.

She’s raised almost $20m to help Minnesota – she thinks you can do it too Ashley Fairbanks launched Stand with Minnesota as ICE raids rocked her home town – now donations are pouring in, and families’ rent is being paid

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this.

I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it.

I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

Letz go even bigger and better,,, ALL Female US Olympians and Paralympian medalists are invited out to celebrate in Viva Las Vegas for the SHE GOT GAME Weekend ,,,

Hit a guy up and LETZ GOOO

I get that. But we have to allow people to change their minds or to learn more. Heaven forbid I be judged forever by the worst mistakes I’ve ever made and not be allowed to grow and learn.

Graph of reported ICE activity, showing Minnesota dwarfing activity in entire states like California, Texas, Florida, and all other states. Dropping over time but still higher than all other states as of today. From Star Tribune reporting about People Over Papers.

I have never been given the opportunity to name city plows here. I assure you that given the opportunity this would be the first name I would put in.

Chicago’s newest snow plow name ‘Abolish ICE,’ Mayor Brandon Johnson says Mayor Brandon Johnson announced “Abolish ICE” as the winner of a citywide snow plow name contest. He had earlier given it a “full and complete” endorsement.

The updated COVID/histamine link thread because people keep tagging me in to explain it and I keep intending to update the post from 2023 (synecdochic.dreamwidth.org/805203.html) and just not having the capacity because of my own health shit so here is a thread I can pin

They figured out how to do this 3 days ago & as of right now, Brandi says from the stage, they've raised over half a million dollars.

You can also get a t-shirt from the tour (which I'm really tempted to get, honestly).

Minneapolis Park Board puts moratorium on evictions The action is the first in Minnesota as a result of the ICE crackdown. (And yes, the Park Board owns rental homes.)

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board is suspending evictions for its rental properties in response to the ICE surge.

It's the first local government body in Minnesota to enact a rent moratorium because of immigration enforcement.

North Carolina’s @katebarrcanwin.bsky.social gave us the perfect metaphor for what we are all doing in this perilous moment.

A black SUV is next to an occupied car in the gym parking lot. I’m 99.9% certain it’s for expired tags or disabled parking placard.

Someone sees it and immediately stands to the side and starts recording just in case.

"Moderna's CEO announced the company will no longer invest in new Phase 3 vaccine trials for infectious diseases: 'You cannot make a return on investment if you don't have access to the U.S. market.

- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

In normal times, our kids like to count the # of dogs they see when we travel places. Now they count ICE OUT signs.

On our short trip to dinner on Lake St. tonight they counted over 70.

Just watch it.

What is the Minnesotan version of season the hell out of it? Or do you mean use seasoning like you aren’t from the Midwest?

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.

Bzzzt. Try again.

BREAKING: Federal agent shoots man in south Minneapolis A Bring Me The News reporter was near the scene, and recorded multiple gunshots.

“Federal agents briefly detained our reporter at the scene, who says he was tackled to the ground and had a gun put in his face.”

The government no longer does crowd size estimates, but I can confidently say the seven million people at the ICE Out protest outnumber the eleven people at Trump's inauguration
