Minneapolitan living in and loving St. Paul. Antifa, because of course. Enjoying my elders (94, 92, 88, 82) every day. Plus a chessie dog whose nuttiness surpasses all understanding.

Someday in the Twin Cities children will notice that all their grandparents have a dozen or more old whistles in a random drawer.

40 years of watching Republicans sabotage immigration reform because business (agriculture & hospitality) wanted a legally vulnerable population to exploit. COVID changed a lot of things but FFS the right wing extremists WANTED this.

Here at the Whipple building for the final day of a week of action where people from across the country came to Minneapolis to help and learn from us for when the federal government comes for their City. This isn’t over until ICE is abolished & Whipple with its inhumane conditions cease to exist. 1/

But what if we just like... stop putting sex/gender on driver's licenses altogether because it's not necessary?

You haven’t been following what’s ACTUALLY happening. They talk β€˜undocumented’ but they are kidnapping β€˜brown’.

Been noticing this for a few weeks and have had conversations with family who’ve noticed it too. More β€œreal” conversations in anonymous situations. β€œYou guys been safe?” β€œHow you doing in these times?” β€œTaking care of yourself?” β€”that sort of thing in random retail exchanges between strangers.

Family in the Twin Cities report that their children's class sizes are much reduced. White parents are hiding children in their cars to get them to and from schools. Governor Walz called all of this "generational trauma." He is correct.

The situation in Minneapolis: even though the ICE presence in the city is greatly reduced, and national attention has moved on, a huge portion of our population remains essentially in hiding, devastating the schools and economy. In particular, much of the education system remains in crisis

Every ICE officer who has broken the law should be arrested, tried, and imprisoned for their crimes.

If you just heard a report on MPR about an organization that’s helping provide foster care and food for pets of people taken away by ICE, the reporter was the β€œbathrobe lady” from a recent well-known ICE-related news photo in St. Paul.

Minnesota flag colors of bright and light blue. Colors swapped on each mitten. Here on left light blue background with bright blue text says β€œF*cK ice GTFO get out” and on right dark blue background with light blue text says”mn nice”

Each mitten is flipped over. Only noticeable difference is the thumb shows phrase β€œyeah no”

Police in St. Paul are investigating an immigration arrest last month that left a man with a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain. Immigration agents have claimed his injuries were caused by him β€œrunning into a wall,” but it’s a false narrative agents beat him during the arrest.

Lawyers filed over 1,000 lawsuits challenging immigrant detentions during Operation Metro Surge β€’ Minnesota Reformer Since the launch of Operation Metro Surge, federal judges in Minnesota have repeatedly ruled β€” hundreds of times β€” that immigration agents illegally arrested and detained people and must release them....

Very good coverage by Max Nesterak of the state of play of habeas petitions in Minnesota. Excellent legal reporting, which isn't easy to come by.
