If I was a Republican wanting to nibble away at women voting, I sure wouldn't start with "married women who take their husband's name and don't have passports."

“DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law” is excellent framing

The business center happily wheeled out an auxiliary cart for me and helped me load my Subaru.

Yes, a few months ago Musharbash said that I support legalized sports betting which isn’t true. 

I said I do not support legalized sports betting. 

I wrote a post that is not about sports betting that has a sponsored polymarket embed.

Musharbash then did whatever this is.

I don't support it, rather - it supports me

That's one where I went to the pages of the 5 organizations in that umbrella and I still couldn't find entry points for someone needing help with rent.

Resources – COPAL Communities Organizing Latine Power and Action

My number one advice right now is to call the COPAL navigator's hotline which the groups above are closely aligned with.

Current state of things: One Fox News host casually declares that Epstein’s money comes from “Jewish billionaires” and a “Jewish banking family,” another responds that he was a “sex rabbi.” www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/jes...

Another way to phrase this is, “ICE shot someone and got caught lying about it.”

Look, ICE isn’t leaving, it’s a political stunt that news media is helping spread, we all know this.

But I will take this headline all day long lol

Occupation was brutal, lawless, a massive waste of resources—plus it blew up the US attorneys office, the mechanism by which you hold fraudsters accountable. So you can bet we'll memory hole that MN Republicans cheered it on, so they can quickly return to being fraud warriors.

This is a huge victory. DHS must allow detainees a call to either family or a lawyer within one hour of arriving at Whipple, and then may not transfer them out of Minnesota for 72 hours.

I’m crying. So happy and relieved. We can help our clients before it’s too late. More people can be helped.

This was the attack where they subsequently threw tear gas into a family's car, causing a baby to stop breathing, they blamed the family for it.

Jacob Frey is incredible at his very simple job:
1. Keep power away from people to his left
2. Wear big boy suits and do media spots

Reminder that just 2 weeks ago, an agreement was signed for ICE/DHS to house 500-800 agents at Fort Snelling.

So drawdown? Maybe. Going away? I remain incredibly skeptical.

Minneapolis Community Response Reference Doc

This google doc is good, but written from the perspective of a donor.

Without sharing too many details, someone posted this morning looking for a vetted list they could distribute at their workplace listing orgs that offer rent and food assistance in the near western suburbs.

A lot of this is informal, and a lot of places are overwhelmed. But this feels solvable.

I figured! It’s understandable! Wish they’d post an update with the current date!

Fair, I may have been imprecise in my word choice. I also just want people to get help quickly, especially when the leg works has already been done for them.

I'm absolutely sympathetic to the overwhelm that organizations and organizers must be feeling. I would also ask for some transparency/timelines while they sort things out.

It's why I have mostly been using venmo to give to people who say they are helping a neighbor/classmate/coworker pay rent.
