It’s day 89 of the ICE occupation of MN.
It may seem as if everyone in MN is furiously raising rent for our neighbors, trying to prevent a massive eviction crisis on top of the federal occupation.
That’s because Minnesotans know that we keep each other safe, and no one is coming to save us.
I keep thinking about how the propaganda leading to this war was all about how you needed to rescue women and the first thing they did was kill dozens of little girls.

Their lawlessness and terror continues so please continue to be out there looking out for your neighbors and staying safe.

A banner featuring a logo on the side with a painted anemone poppy and the handwriting-style text that says "Heal Minds Gaza" in a green circle. Next to it reads: "Heal Minds Gaza is a new initiative that will support children’s healing through therapeutic activities for self-esteem, social skills, and community-building. Support the first project for children who were detained in occupation prisons." The text is written on notebook paper cut in a circle. The banner is decorated with crayon sketches of hearts, stars, and squiggles in different colors.
ICYMI, this one's for the kids.
80+ kids have returned to Gaza from occupation prisons, where they experienced unimaginable psychological violence. We're trying to deliver 6 days of mental health workshops to support them.

I can’t emphasise leading w/ empathy for civilians *everywhere* on a day like today enough.
The first casualty here in the UAE, where I live, is an Asian civilian at a residential building.
Many Ukrainians, Palestinians, Iraqis, Syrians, Sudanese & other war-traumatised people live here.

When a company in an industry built on hype tells you that a use case is a bad idea—and actually dangerous—that means it’s a *catastrophically* bad idea.

The US and Israel are bombing Iran. Anyone reporting it as “preventive” is engaging in propaganda, by definition. There is no interpretation of what’s happening as anything else than a crime.
You don’t have to like the Iranian regime to understand why this is bad.
Once again our first thoughts should be of human cost of conflict in Middle East, price paid and risks incurred by innocents.

The fines went into effect at 3 p.m., two hours before a planned anti-ICE rally at a park near the ICE building. 👀
(For the many who've asked me: The rule will not be enforced retroactively, even though the policy went into effect on Jan. 1.)

Got my first "stop writing about ICE in your newsletter" email, which argued that we need to focus on food and not politics. Folks: THEY ARE INTERMINGLED. You can't declare war on the beating heart of the hospitality community without changing the food culture!!

Just read the text of the bill and made a call and will be doing so pretty regularly as I have been.
But man is this just one of the most blatant and poorly written attempts as culture war "think of the children" nonsense I've ever seen. It'd almost be funny if it weren't people's lives at stake.
Equally alarming is how this operation was conducted. Masked agents carried out this raid during school pick-up time, near a bus stop where children were waiting. Some children were biking. Our community’s children should not have to witness armed agents breaking down doors in their neighborhoods.

HSI and ice officers masked standing by their vehicle at the site of the arrest of Ward 12 neighbor.
Today, I received confirmed reports that agents from ICE and HSI forced entry into a residence on the 5200 block of 36th Ave., kicking in the door and detaining a constituent. Witnesses report that 8–9 masked agents carried out the operation. 🧵

Someone was abducted in St Anthony this morning at 6 AM near 29th Ave & Silver Lake Road. And then at 8 AM we saw at least 5 agents out of their vehicles at 26th & Jackson near Walgreens before they dispersed into the neighborhood.
This isn’t over. We still need people keeping watch & staying safe.
