This is a concrete thing we do NOW to help quell the bleeding

Here's how shameless Elizabeth Shaffer is. She killed a plan to build a ramp here, and cost us the million dollars in federal funding that would've paid for it. Then a year later, in one of her final acts on the park board, she took a victory lap on the adoption of a plan with no money behind it.

HSI and ice officers masked standing by their vehicle at the site of the arrest of Ward 12 neighbor.

Today, I received confirmed reports that agents from ICE and HSI forced entry into a residence on the 5200 block of 36th Ave., kicking in the door and detaining a constituent. Witnesses report that 8–9 masked agents carried out the operation. 🧵

MPD's consent decree is about bringing a notoriously violent and racist police department up to the bare minimum of following the law and constitutional rights—not an excuse to dump tens of millions of dollars into an MPD construction spree.

Minneapolis repitching multi-million first responder center, state dollars in jeopardy Minneapolis community safety leaders are repitching a multi-million-dollar plan for a new training and wellness center just months after it was rejected by the council.

Thousands of our neighbors are struggling to pay rent. Mayor Frey is sending scolding letters painting small business aid and rent assistance as fiscally irresponsible. MPD blew $4.3 million on overtime last month.

And now the Frey administration wants $38 million for MPD’s own cop city?

Just got a message from South High saying “We currently have requests totaling $33,965 for rent and we have $7500 available tomorrow. Please try to share the gofundme widely! Thanks”

Well, that simply will not do. I'll match the first $900. Please help my fellow South High families if you can! 🖤🧡🖤

the rent fund for students at my alma mater has $36,000 in rent requests for tomorrow and only $7,500 in the bank

if we raised $10,600 with a crystal shrek what kind of crazy thing do i need to do to raise $28,500?

Many workers have missed shifts without jobs being destroyed making it challenging to measure labor impacts with conventional sources.

We use real-time daily data from Homebase to measure impacts. Thanks to UChicago and Homebase for making the data available.

Volunteer — Stand With Minnesota

No matter where you live, if you have any capacity to volunteer, we have a lot of unpaid folks helping administer rent and skymiles donations, and we need more support.

970 The number of agents deployed in Operation Metro Surge that currently remain in Minnesota. 407 The number of agents deployed in Operation Metro Surge and will remain in Minnesota into March.

This shows why you can’t trust headlines or press conferences from the Trump administration. We still need people out keeping watch and staying vigilant until every last agent is off of our streets.

There’s still an occupation on our state by the federal government.

We’re still asking community to patrol and observe the illegal actions committed by ICE.

Please continue to support our neighbors with mutual aid. Our neighbors are struggling to stay afloat.

Ask your electeds to do better.

ACLU MN reported yesterday that the federal government filed sworn statements that there are 970 agents in Minnesota for Operation Metro Surge & that 407 agents will remain here in March. It’s important to note this is on top of the 190 agents that were already assigned before this surge started.

She’s raised almost $20m to help Minnesota – she thinks you can do it too Ashley Fairbanks launched Stand with Minnesota as ICE raids rocked her home town – now donations are pouring in, and families’ rent is being paid

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this.

I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it.

I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.

Dec. 5, 2025, 11:07 AM EST By Alex Tabet MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara issued a stern warning to his officers on Thursday: Intervene when you see Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents using unlawful force or lose your job. “If unlawful force is being used by any law enforcement officer against any person in this city and one of our officers is there, absolutely, I expect them to intervene, or they’ll be fired,” O’Hara said when asked how his officers should respond to excessive force by ICE agents. O’Hara noted that cases of “excessive” force that were “readily apparent” would merit officer intervention. A sergeant from O’Hara’s department later clarified that while Minneapolis Police Department officers may physically intervene in the case of unlawful force, they would stop short of arresting ICE agents.

December 5: Chief O'Hara says if his officers witness ICE using unlawful force, "I expect them to intervene, or they'll be fired."

February 23: MPD has no interventions to report.

I know that I’ve been fundraising a lot for my neighbors on here, and I would love to be posting about other stuff instead! But the need is dire and we’re having to take care of each other and keep each other safe, because we’re being left to ourselves to do it.

Now means NOW.

Despite claims of a drawdown, ICE activity is still happening in and around Minnesota schools. We're seeking an emergency order to put a stop to it IMMEDIATELY: https://edmn.me/4tT5DSE #iceoutschools #iceoutmn

i am so tired of screaming from the rooftops that we have a looming, avoidable crisis of evictions brewing.

everyone knows it, but yet government and philanthropy have no solutions. unpaid volunteers of rent funds are doing the work that the people who control the purse strings refuse to do

One of the kind of fucked up parts of the ICE occupation here is that a lot of folks want to believe it’s over, and the media seems to tell us it’s over, but folks on the ground are still seeing tons of activity and vulnerable people are still (rightfully) terrified to go outside. We can’t stop yet.

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.

“We Belong to Each Other Now”: Lessons from Minneapolis “This extreme closeness, togetherness and intimacy — you cannot infiltrate your way into a space where you'll understand that," says May, a rapid responder in Minneapolis.

After months of relentless rapid response in Minneapolis, members of Defend the 612 had a moment to breathe and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the grief they carry, and the citywide fellowship they hope will endure. The crisis is not over, and I’m grateful they made time to speak with me.

“The private prison industry is who stands to gain the most from this supercharging of immigration detention,” Bishop Cahill continues in the statement: www.usccb.org/news/2026/th...

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.

Well, that could explain how Tom Homan could find thousands of unaccompanied minors: by creating them. www.startribune.com/how-ice-labe...

FYI: The Minneapolis City Council approved $7M for small businesses impacted by the occupation.

Governor Walz is only proposing $10M aimed at Minnesota businesses that have been impacted by the occupation. Respectfully, it’s time to add the missing “0”.

This is disgusting. All of these people who negotiated with ICE and told no one what they did need to be removed from office.

White House, Minnesota Supreme Court chief justice quietly negotiated deal over ICE enforcement in courts Four days later, chaos unfolded inside the Hennepin County Government Center.

This is disturbing. The Chief Justice of the MN Supreme Ct met with Homan, worked out an agreement, and never announced it publicly. ICE appeared to violate it days later by violently tackling a person in the Gov Center w/out a judicial warrant. We need transparency.

To the rest of the US: I just cannot emphasize enough how much people in Minneapolis LOATHE Jacob Frey

The level of anger normal Minnesota people have at their elected representatives is palpable. It's not about party, but the perceived failure of local/state electeds to do anything of substance to protect residents who pay their taxes and get left facing off alone against masked, armed men.
