10th Ave S bridge over Midtown Greenway The City will improve the condition and safety of the 10th Ave S bridge.

The Midtown Greenway will be closed with a detour starting on March 11 for the removal of the 10th Ave Bridge deck. The detour goes from Park Ave, along 28th St, and to the Cepro Site park via 10th Ave. Thankfully a short detour for this bridge!

#ChristinWithMinneapolis

Council Member Jason Chavez (@jchavezmpls.bsky.social) has watched Christin organize, coordinate mutual aid, and stand up for our most vulnerable students.

When ICE's presence threatened our school communities, Christin organized to keep students safe.

South Minneapolis - do we have any dry cleaners to pay special care to when bringing in our winter coats in a couple weeks or so?

If I can maximize impact with a chore that will need doing anyway, I'd like to know who I can support.

This is to say: if you're an attorney who's hesitated to take on habeas cases because you think you lack the knowledge, or you're worried about whether you'll really help, I PROMISE you can make a difference. I'm just a dipshit with a 7-year-old laptop and a bad attitude. If I can do it, so can you.

Minneapolis, do what you can 💙🩵

Donate to Support Rent Relief for Cedar-Riverside Neighbors, organized by John Torgerson The West Bank Cedar-Riverside neighborhood has always been a place of… John Torgerson needs your support for Support Rent Relief for Cedar-Riverside Neighbors

My work has picked up some spring speed, and I haven't been plugging this enough. Please don't forget to keep taking care of the struggling Minnesota residents from the threats of homelessness. The need is still months behind for thousands of people in the state. West Bank houses many of them.

attorney daniel suitor says that studies by both homeline and city of minneapolis show that 90% of evictions are due to non payment of rent. "most of these are for 1.5 - 2 months worth of rent... maybe one missed paycheck, one broken down car away from losing your home. time solves these issues."

I filled out the survey. Give yourself time to do this one, there’s open are open-ended questions that merit reflection

Are you or do you know an artist who sells vinyl stickers or mugs with abolitionist/antifascist messages? I am going to try to fight burnout with pretty radical merch (short-term! I promise to have some longer-term strategies too!) and Etsy is too enshittified to be very useful in this project.

Search for the immutable lessons community defense has taught these past months-neighbors, community, solidarity-build on them. For when the threat is gone, those lessons will be invaluable in building anew. In the meantime, stay vigilant, and build on what has worked so well.

Some professors at the University of St. Thomas are doing a research project on the effects of the ICE occupation on Twin Cities parents. They're looking for parents who are US citizens, who live in the Twin Cities metro area, and who have kids ages 5-10.

For context, this is on an abandoned bldg near my house, a metal plating biz that closed in 2016, leaving open vats of hexavalent chromium & other highly toxic chems. A fire w/h forced evac of most of western StP. Luckily EPA cleaned it up just before Trump 1 cut their emergency response budget.

not only is it not over and we need to keep organizing, but im going to wager that its likely going to escalate.

ice has been quieter the past couple of weeks compared to peak activity, but they've also brought in tons of vehicles. id wager they're currently retraining & supplying

TFW you have books to pick up from your wishlist, but you have to wait juuuust a little longer before you can pass go.

Omggggggggggg I would love to gift these to somebody

People are really scared that community defense is ending.

Honestly, so did I.
I might call back to make another point TBH

A selfie of me outside of 36 Lyn Refuel Station.

At 36 Lyn Refuel Station, but on bike. Lines of cars hoping to get fuel while the price is still relatively low (well, low for Minneapolis standards). Pumps are slower than average. Wasn’t born during the rationing days of 60s & 70s but I wonder if this is what it was like. These are strange times.

Jacob Frey's voicemail message has the same energy as Peter Callaghan's answering machine in While You Were Sleeping; it's worth calling just to experience that level of cringe from an anthropological standpoint. As a bonus, you get to express support for your neighbors.

I lost my train of thought in the middle of the message I was leaving for Mayor Frey, but it's fine. You can do it too!

Call him at 612-673-2100, listen to his cheerful auto answer, say what ward you're in, and that you expect him to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives.

The US DOJ's settlement with Live Nation does very little to actually change the status quo and stop the harms being done to concert-goers, artists, and music venues. I will keep working to continue this litigation and hold Live Nation accountable for their unlawful behavior.

#AbolishCBP

3 ICE vehicles were in a parking lot of a Columbia Heights restaurant on Central Ave this afternoon and there was a potential ICE vehicle by Pillsbury at pick up today.

A lot of politicians think it’s time to move on, but how can we move on when this isn’t even over.

the shittiest thing about deleting my meta accounts is i no longer have contact with any of my Iranian friends.

I can only pray for them and their families right now
