If Dems made demand to get all kids & their caretakers out of concentration camps, grinding all Congressional business to halt plus using their massive texting lists to organize caravans to create Occupy Dilly encampment, I would give them every dollar I have. And so would many.

Animation of all fed activity from Dec 1st through Feb 11th. The source data are a combo of both rapid response networks' data and IceOut's.

something from minnesota that i would like people to learn, that i don’t think is hitting people yet:

helping MN is good. people need it. but people in your community need mutual aid too. care. resources. food. outside of times of crisis.

and you can help.

I feel a bit emotionally out of step with most here, but I'm kinda in the mood of "Dance in the streets, but bring your whistles"

Play through the whistle, Minnesota!

Can you please DM me?

So folks,

Who's picking up the baton?

We are rightly very proud of the folks who have been pushing their asses off.

If you're reading this and you're looking for something to do, please please please speak up so that the folks who are running themselves ragged can tag out.

ICE has been active this morning staging in St Anthony so we still need people out patrolling our neighborhoods.

I’m headed to the Capitol today ahead of session starting next week to work on the 70 bills we have around ICE.

If you thought this paradigm was going to last 30-90 days and then end and now, at day 72, you’re realizing the fallout is actually an indefinitely permanent paradigm, it makes sense you went super hard at a pace that is unsustainable.

Recalibrate now before you’re hurtling into the concrete floor.

An 18 year old was taken today in the Hennepin County Government Center.

Any leader thinking collaborating with ICE will be good and help end this surge is forgetting that no one in our community is expendable.

Please don't accuse people in knitted hats of only wearing their supposed politics if all you're doing is posting, which is basically just another way of wearing your politics. It's a silly thing to attack people over in any case. Using fashion to signal support for ongoing acts of rebellion is good

You are a north star in this fight and I am so deeply thankful for your presence and wisdom

Great great people to listen to:

They sleep in the trees!

We're all we've got. Best to spend time figuring out how to live into this truth.

today is the last day i will ask you to donate to people’s rent this month.

we are trying very hard to meet a $30,000
goal today to help the last few families on our list before their rent grace period ends.

if you are in MN and hear of anyone in need of a flight home from detention please send them my way (contact@standwithminnesota.com)

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

Not sure if you're aware but yesterday (YESTERDAY!) @ziibiing.com put up a page to accept frequent flyer miles to fly home detainees from TX and has collected 5M+. Any thoughts about how we can help get the word out?

People who may want to have children in the future should bear this in mind: tear gas can have serious consequences for female reproductive health. The data on this isn't great but I would at least recommend ensuring you have a quality respirator or mask on at all times.

a woman reached out to donate 500,000 delta skymiles to get people home to MN as they are released from custody in TX.

we're getting flights booked today. it should be enough to get at least 15 people home.

delta should be doing for free since they take ICE money.

I know it doesn’t feel like it at the moment, but there is waaaaay more good in this world than they want you to believe!! That is also why we will win!!

A stack of thin pink books that say OBSTETRIX * NAOMI KRITZER on the spine

HEY I AM DOING A FUNDRAISER FOR MINNESOTA RENT FUNDS

AND GIVING AWAY A SIGNED ARC (advance review copy) OF OBSTETRIX

THAT'S RIGHT YOU CAN HELP MINNESOTA FAMILIES AND MAYBE GET A FREE EARLY SIGNED COPY OF MY BOOK

Incredible

"Good night, Fuck ICE, Naz Reid, Stay Safe" is the new Minnesota goodbye

Will for Governor now, right?

I think it's pretty safe to say bsky would treat that campaign differently then your last, at a minimum

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

In the last days, there has been an unprecedented attack targeting investigative journalists trying to seize their Signal accounts. This has gone largely unreported. I have been repeatedly targeted by phishing, and I learned that also colleagues from other outlets were targeted, with the attackers unfortunately managing to compromise at least one colleague’s account. What’s worrying: this doesn’t seem like an isolated case. A broader wave is apparently hitting journalists (and some civil society actors) via Signal. How it works: Attackers message you on Signal pretending to be “Signal Support,” warning about “suspicious activity,” and urging you to “re-verify” your account. Once you accept the chat, you receive a real Signal SMS verification code, because the attacker is actively trying to register your number on a new device. If you share that code, you’re handing them the keys. Signal’s extra protection is the Signal PIN. If an attacker also tricks you into giving up your PIN (or you don’t have strong protections enabled), they can see your contacts and networks, potentially join chats going forward, and lock you out by changing settings. Quick protections worth doing today: - Signal will never contact you via a two-way in-app support chat. Treat those messages as hostile. - Never share SMS codes, Signal PIN, or anything called “registration lock.” - Turn on Registration Lock (Settings → Account → Registration Lock). - If you see a “safety number changed” alert: verify the person via a different channel (call/video), not just Signal text. - Report + block suspicious requests, and review linked devices. If you work with sensitive sources: this isn’t just about losing an account, it’s about exposing networks. Please share this with colleagues who rely on Signal day-to-day.

WARNING, fellow journalists: As @nicoschmidt.io explains, attackers are trying to hijack reporters' Signal accounts by tricking people into handing over their 2FA codes. www.linkedin.com/posts/nicosc...

Use separate cars for rapid response and mutual aid. That one really is important

Don’t use your full legal name as your Signal display name. Assume your Signal chats are public & don’t talk about crimes or share sensitive info you wouldn’t want screenshotted by a reporter or read out loud in court

i just want to cry. i have literally just spent the last 6 hours responding to email after email of people begging for rent money or for me to point them in the direction of help, which does not exist.

please @governorwalz.mn.gov. we need an eviction moratorium. there is no other solution.
