teacher says the hardest part is never seeing a student against because they’ve been deported. that her immigrant students respect education and respect adults differently than american kids because they came from difficult situations. makes her feel sick they are now deprived of human rights

Thanks to those who donated - Carmen is getting close to the goal of getting her back to work! Please give/share if you can - any amount is appreciated.

i’m at lake of the isles church for a ward 7 community meeting on schools’ response to the ICE siege with city council member elizabeth shaffer. opens by saying she never expected she’d start her term this way. “this has overshadowed everything.”

Albi Kitchen opened in their spot just off Loring park in late 2025.

Then Nick Shirley showed up to “investigate” the daycare next door and Albi endured weeks of random angry MAGAs wandering, causing problems, and costing them business. Now they need help to recover. chuffed.org/project/1689...

Here is @aoc.bsky.social thankfully telling everyone exactly what to do to stop a concentration camp from being built where you live.

Please take it to heart and take action.

ICE detained a Minnesota teen, labeled him an ‘unaccompanied minor,’ and lost him The Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as “unaccompanied,” even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.

The Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as “unaccompanied,” even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.

Milquetoast response from the Democratic leadership. ICE has more than proven that they need to be abolished.

The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards

Yesterday with your help, we paid the rent for five Minneapolis immigrant families in need. Rent’s coming up, donations are down, and there’s still so much need here. Let’s help as many as we can today!

Operation Metro Love Thy Neighbor Hello Friends of Operation Metro Love Thy Neighbor! Many of our neighbors in Minneapolis are being targeted based on the color of their skin, their accent, or their country of origin. From a healthcare standpoint, this is leading to very scary outcomes, as patients are terrified to leave home and are foregoing necessary care in an effort to stay safe. For moms and babies, medical professionals scramble to meet these needs and to ensure patient safety. As neighbors and community members, we want to ensure these moms and babies have their needs met in terms of supplies, personal care items, and infant and toddler items. While it's a far cry from a baby shower, we are doing our best to ensure that our neighboring mamas have what they need in times of massive distress. All items purchased on this list will be delivered to me and then immediately sent out into the community for maximum impact. On behalf of all the mama and baby teams, we so appreciate your love and generosity.

Black image with white text and white line drawing of a parent holding a baby. Text reads: "Mama + Baby donations needed. All items with an asterisk must be unused. Other items may be gently used. These items will go to immediate homes and be appreciated. [heart emoji] Thank you! ITEMS NEEDED: diapers (size 0-6)*, baby wipes*, pacifiers*, teething items*, free and clear detergent, baby shampoo, baby-safe lotion, infant clothing (all sizes), infant hats, baby blankets, burp cloths, swaddlers, hands-free baby carriers, breastfeeding guards*, feeding pillows, maternity pillows, belly bands, nipple cream*, pimps, infant safe toys, pack + play, epsom salt."

We're seeing a drop off in newborn donations in Minneapolis. Birth workers are seeing small/early babies due to stress/food insecurity—ICE has not stopped—families still in desperate need of support. If you're able, here is a wishlist compiled by folks doing mutual aid

If Defend 612 was a city department they would give a presentation to the city council with a slideshow charting their amazing response times. And brag about not using any of their overtime budget, because they have no budget.
