Two drying linoleum block prints that say “Neighbors”

Because sometimes it should be less about them and more about us.

Just dropped 20 of these at BauHaus

Never seen a sticker more perfect. Heart breaking and inspiring

I know there are a lot of mutual aid asks coming out of Minneapolis right now, but both of my kids graduated from South High and it would mean a lot to me for people to contribute to this rent fund for my fellow South families. I’ll match the first $1000 if you post receipts. Tiger Pride 🧡🖤

Welcome to Minneapolis with burning Whipple building

Moon palace has done it again

Bridges should have gotten 7 for reinitiating the altercation.

Today I’d like to see the following l donate their entire February pay checks to cover mutual aid rent fundraisers (as many of my colleagues did in January):

MN Governor Tim Walz
MPLS Mayor Jacob Frey

MPLS City Council Members:
Linea Palmisano
Pearl Warren
Elizabeth Shaffer
Jamison Whiting

I would totally mail one to you, I am also thinking of just dropping a bunch off somewhere in North East, either Pillar Forum

Would buy 100%

Ummm… I don’t quite know, I’ll have to try and figure that out

Donate to Help Andy Fix His Car to Keep Supporting the Community, organized by Twin Cities Community Help Andy fix his car so he can continue distributing to fami… Twin Cities Community needs your support for Help Andy Fix His Car to Keep Supporting the Community

I wholeheartedly vouch for Andy and the work he does! Let’s get him back up and running so he can get back to work.

I got $100 on it. Can anyone match me?

Frankly, It’s not about them, it’s about us. 50,000 People stood together, hundreds of businesses make a sacrifice to show their solidarity. That means we are not alone. When you’re afraid to leave your home, knowing you are not alone is a huge boon. I am afraid but. Ow I have hope

John Greenleaf Whittier (December 17, 1807 - September 7, 1892) was an American Quaker poet and advocate of the abolition of slavery in the United States. Frequently listed as one of the fireside poets, he was influenced by the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Whittier is remembered particularly for his anti-slavery writings, as well as his 1866 book Snow-Bound. John Greenleaf Whittier en.wikipedia.org

This is who the Whittier neighborhood in Minneapolis is named for

This is a city that just wants to fucking fly kites on a fucking lake

Anyone who sees this -

Call your Congressional Reps today and tell them to defund DHS. Demand it. It doesn’t matter if you think that they won’t care.

It matters that YOU do.

Don’t forget to call the speaker of the house, you are his constituent.

r/Minneapolis If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, that's it for me. I've spent the last week checking on my neighbors, engaging with my city, my local police, everyone. I've supported my friends and family, made sure they knew they weren't alone in their feelings of hopelessness, powerlessness. I've called and emailed my representatives, demanding answers, demanding action. I've just been overcome with this overwhelming, almost primal need to care for and support my community. If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, and soldiers take to our streets, then that tears it for me. My son just turned 1yr. I've done my best to be a helper, so that I can still be around to support him and spend time with him. But if I have to STAND OUTSIDE in the FREEZING COLD and get the SHIT KICKED OUT OF ME by the people who are supposed to be protecting me, if I have to do that to fight for goodness, and righteousness, and justice, then that's what I'm gonna fucking do. I'm going to do it because this is not the future I want for my son. If you've been out on the streets, and you're tired, and you're hurting, don't worry. Rest when you need to. Because I know my home and I know my neighbors. When you need to rest, two more will replace you. I will be one of them. This is my home. Minneapolis is not going to quit. Minnesota is not going to quit. And FUCK EVERYONE who tries to come in here and take from us the PRIDE, LOVE, and COMMUNITY we've built. As long as I can stand, I'm going to plant my two feet between the oppressors and the home I love. I love you all. L'etoile du Nord.

Posts from Minneapolis residents read like they'll be read in voiceover in a Ken Burns-like doc one day

DARVO is the step-by-step process of how abusers rationalize, deflect, and ultimately get away with perpetrating violence. It is an essential framework to understanding our political and cultural environment today. And Dr. Freyd believes that the more people understand DARVO, the less it will work.

I need to point out for people who aren't from Minneapolis: the guy stomping around in the orange hat and jacket emblazoned with "EHB" on the back is Eric Harris Bernstein, member of the Board of Estimate and Taxation. Eric is our city's lowest ranking and least respected elected official.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

*Everyone has stories like this*

Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof. What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"
