☃️ Snowball Ca-pow-cio 🖕🧊 [Feral #FreeLink Edition]

Not to get too personal or whatever but if you (like me) have life experiences involving people who've made you afraid, gaslit you, or hurt you while sayinf it was for your own good: things are REALLY HARD right now.

FWIW, survival is its own act of resistance.

Fuck whoever hurt you & fuck ICE.

Cry harder, snowflakes.

They just blindly shot through the fucking door.

"Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."

The thing about caucuses is

Elizabeth Zuna Caisaguano is a 4th-grade student in Columbia Heights, the same school little Liam attends. Earlier this month, during the first week back from winter break, Elizabeth and her mother, Rosa, were taken by ICE while on their way to school.

guy turns out to be exactly who a bunch of us Black women said he was: an American story

Ooooo so glad I blocked him a long time ago when he justified being abusive to people he felt had wronged him. 😬

He doesn't care about consent or safety. If he did, he would've asked permission instead of bringing press into a space with vulnerable people without disclosing/giving folks a choice.

MN ICE Watch Feb. 2-6: Daily Updates on the Federal Siege of Minnesota - Racket Another week, another mega blog of ICE-related headlines.

Another round of daily updates are ready for ya:

Okay but my diuretics are delicious, Laurel 😭

The Wordery: Rage Compost Writing through it in Minneapolis.

🆕 From me, words about the ongoing occupation: virtuistic.beehiiv.com/p/the-worder...

Feels wholly inadequate, but words are what I can do right now. Writing these ones left me feeling more resolute. I hope they can offer clarity and inspire folks to help out and speak up. In solidarity, always. ✊🏼💖

As an Eagle Scout, let me say this is an opportunity for Scouting America to stop having a partnership with the U.S. Military.

We have a right to gender affirming care, and that includes for trans kids. This decision by Children's is very disappointing and a demonstration of the times in which we live.

It’s the counter insurgency manual that was used to destroy BLM as well and it’s being used now to try and turn attention away from the fact that ice is still disappearing people in the street operating concentration camps and murdering people

🎉 UPDATE: Huge thanks to everyone who helped us raise over a quarter of our $100K goal in one day! 💗😭 Y'all are amazing!

These donations make a direct impact for our neighbors in the MSP metro, keeping families together and safe in warm homes with all the necessary essentials. 🏘️ #MutualAid #HelpSky

ICE is active in south Minneapolis today-
Multiple cars cruising around East Phillips, Midtown Phillips.
Meanwhile, signal is having issues, so folks should be outside!
See ICE? Form a crowd and get loud.
Let neighbors know if ICE is nearby by making noise.

‘Bad Guys Are Taking Mommies and Daddies’: ICE Upends Minneapolis Kids' Lives In Minneapolis, parents must figure that out, while teachers face half-empty classrooms as students stay home for fear of abduction.

I talked with parents, teachers and kids about ICE's ongoing operation and how it has upended their day-to-day lives. One of the harder stories I've reported. For @rewirenewsgroup.com
rewirenewsgroup.com/2026/02/03/i...

What can we do to encourage them to continue providing this lifesaving care?

fuck, Children's MN is pausing gender affirming care for trans kids at the end of the month due to the proposed HHS rules. fuck this administration so much.

Part of the reason we’re hearing how disorganized Whipple is and that people are getting “lost” is because they are avoiding official records & process.

at least surveys work

Yeah, there are volunteers doing that daily and relaying info as things evolve. Some of it has been distilled into resources by @defendthe612.bsky.social that you might be able to adapt to your local context: defend612.com/resources/

Solidarity ✊🏼

I feel like we kinda already do have cooperative networks like this, they're just not electoral. I think we're more labor/activism-oriented 'round these parts.

I honestly think it removes and reduces problems by keeping async things smaller/more manageable/harder to infiltrate and predict. IME, it's not limiting because people are free to explore emergent strategies that are relevant to their unique local contexts, which the ICE invaders don't understand.

Minn. advocates urge immigrant parents to make plans with kids Minnesota immigrant families are being advised to make plans they may have never considered before: finding someone to care for their children.

This isn't what caused the murders of our residents, and it would not have prevented it. Focus, governor.

You ghoulish ASSHOLES. Our kids play soccer there, this isn't your fucking playground.

Hey #Minnesota federal judges: we need a standing order against this, stat!

Y'all are fucking disgusting and I look forward to when "common sense" just means "everyone knows conservatives are dishonest, fascist control freaks who deserve to be shunned."
