Economic Response Fund Grant Guidelines Small businesses in Minnesota that have experienced operational disruptions in recent weeks may now apply for emergency financial support through the Economic Response Fund.

I'm going to promote the heck out of this:

The Minneapolis Foundation has $4 million in grants available to small businesses for everything from rent and payroll costs to legal help and temporary relocation.

More details and the application here: www.minneapolisfoundation.org/stories/comm...

I live in MN in an ancient house. I spent a year trying to kill the teeny jumping spider(s) who live in a little gap along the window sash in my bedroom. I finally made peace with them figuring that if they're in there, nothing else is getting through. THEY LIVE THROUGH THE WINTER. I don't know how.

I'm gonna go obscure Gen Xer and recommend Tripl3fastaction's "Revved Up." I pull it out when I want to smash things but need to transform that into useful energy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSdz...

the flower bar, owned by GOP donor andrea corbin who is accepted in centrist DFL circles despite that fact, sprayed a person with a garden hose today for chalking on the sidewalk about corbin’s role in helping to fund republicans as they send ICE into minneapolis during this siege

I am, by all accounts, a coward, an overthinker, and a waffler, and I don’t think I’ve ever had greater moral clarity about anything ever in my life. ICE is so absolutely morally repugnant that there is no way to live wirh yourself if you do nothing.

So let’s recap: Russian flag on Roland Fishnaller’s helmet is ok . Pictures of athletes Russia murdered on Heraskevych helmet - not okay. Thanks , IOC.

What a sick joke.

“You ever stop to think how much more smoothly Minneapolis politics would function if Jacob Frey could be just like 15% less of a dick?”

Russia is happy to have everyone believe that they’re an all powerful, all knowing, evil mastermind than ever admit that they’re weak, vulnerable and that they miscalculated.

Be mad, yell, fight back, but don’t give them power in your mind for free.

AND DON’T LET UP THE PRESSURE!

one of america’s most cherished folk singers wrote an entire song about what a cruel criminal piece of shit donald trump’s father was all the way back in 1954 and somehow this basically never comes up in any story about the trumps, they have literally *always* been this way

This is the Minnesota version of Punxsutawney Phil

anders folk has united strategies hired for his campaign and sam schulenberg, jacob frey’s 2025 campaign manager, is working the folk campaign for united. i wrote about the conservative DFL / republican alliance last year and am very surprised they’re doing it again

All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because:

1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it.

2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

UPDATE: He was just released. This shows that just indiscriminately took someone because they were Latino. Their illegal tactics continue so we still need neighbors to patrol, observe, and support our immigrant community.

The silver lining is that IOC officials don't understand that the Streisand Effect will ensure that far more people will now hear about these Ukrainian athletes being murdered by Russia, than if they'd just shut up and let him wear the helmet. Which is why he persisted.

5-10 min read: 15 posts in total. Why Minnesota is the ONLY state in the nation to refuse requests to acquiesce a civil war era battle flag. We hold the line while the union regroups. It is our history. And history repeats itself. Cheers, Minnesota. Enjoy.

This kind of small scale work actually matters in creating the societal pressure we need to exert on these creeps. Consequences.

"A whistle will not stop a bullet, or many. But it can do away with isolation. It cannot shield a body, yet it can draw bodies near, transforming vulnerability into presence and presence into power."

Homan still calling observers "agitators" saying they are "doxxing" law enforcement. Saying he doesn't want to see any more bloodshed. The only one doing the killing is #ICE. EVERY case they have brought for "agitators" has been thrown out. #TheOccupation

I'm suddenly having flashbacks to the "How It's Made" mobik cube video from a couple of years ago...

In occupied Minneapolis, citizen barricades rightly slow injustice With masked men routinely violating both constitutional rights and traffic laws, local law enforcement should let the barricades stand.

More than 30 legal scholars in N.J. condemn federal civil rights violations In rare collective statement, 35 faculty members document First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment breaches, calling attacks on protesters and warrantless raids 'hallmarks of authoritarianism'

Very much appreciate this statement by Seton Hall law profs, condemning (still ongoing) federal lawlessness in Minnesota: www.nj.com/news/2026/02...

i have absolutely no qualifications to evaluate the validity of this, but it would be very funny

Great thread...

A very #NAFO journey here.

Many of us here have gone through a similar thing, and arrived at the same conclusion.

I've actually been thinking about how the costumes were hella sexy, but not slutty. I don't know what the difference is; I think slutty has some level of desperation, but sexy is just confident and happy. And yet you could walk down the street in those sexy costumes and not look "inappropriate". A+

Like Kendrick, political as hell precisely because it doesn't bother to acknowledge the haters. They're irrelevant, beneath attention. And nothing is more intolerable to fascists than the thought that their enemies are cool, enjoying themselves, and not thinking about them.

Taking responsibility for your actions is a tool of Western Imperialist hegemony

Gift shop in the Minneapolis airport is selling "ICE OUT of St. Paul" posters next to cute onesies and fridge magnets.
