Instead of spending $1 billion a day on the War in Iran, we could use that to invest in the American people, not more endless wars.
If Mayor Frey acted on his promise to “end homelessness in 5 years” when he was first elected, these orgs maybe would have adequate resources to speak positively on “Pause evictions, save lives”.
The mayor’s inaction has ripple effects, and we know where his allegiance lies.
History will look back on the leaders of Minneapolis and what they did to stand up for our residents during and after Trump’s invasion of our city.
Dear community, please help me share Mario’s story and fundraiser.
On January 12, Mario was abducted by federal agents at his workplace. Mario has a partner and small children, who now have to carry both financial burdens and emotional trauma.

Jason’s meeting breakdowns are super helpful! Thank you, Jason, for highlighting the work accomplished in a friendly format.
As someone who started her run for Ward 5 city council… part of me wishes I would have stuck it out to try and have prevented *this* like I originally intended. E Burnett, I miss you.
Please. This is embarrassing.
video sent to me from the hennepin county government center this morning of hennepin county sheriff deputies standing by as plainclothes federal agents detain two people
agents have been hanging out in the lobby for days now
While Tom Homan was trying to grab headlines this morning ICE was again circling our schools. They’ve been out all morning and no “drawdown” is enough until every single one of these agents is out of our state and DHS is abolished.
minneapolis city council vice president jamal osman says “the people you’re calling agitators, they’re fighting for our people. they’re out there in the cold, sniffing gas, dealing with all kinds of stuff. people have lost their lives… our president calls us garbage. those people are our heroes.”
Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."
After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc
ICE continues to separate children from their parents in Powderhorn Park. Alex was kidnapped by ICE on his way to work. Let’s reunite him with his son & family.
Luz has been a strong advocate for our immigrant community in MN and now her son has to grow up without his father.

Help support Northeast Middle School families struggling due to this illegal ICE occupation. Your community support is providing immediate help for families.
I will keep pushing for an eviction moratorium, rental assistance, small business support, and more from government.

Liam is home now and we are grateful to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for traveling to Minneapolis with him and his dad.
Welcome home Liam ❤️❤️
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
Documentation of ICE activity in parks should be sent to: ImmigrationMPRBlegal@minneapolisparks.org
I know it can feel subpar, I have been there during these abductions and plead with agents to follow the law & I promise to work with our legal team to do everything we can to hold ICE accountable.
Federal Immigration actions are not allowed to be staged on park land. This is a violation of the resolution and unlawful activity.
I am grateful to CM Chavez for documenting and to Com. Carvajal-Moran for being present and a voice for our parks and families as well.
They are not allowed to stage on parkland. Signage has been produced and distributed and it’s not doing enough.
These agents feel like they’re above the law, and we as a body have to hold them accountable, however we can.
Documentation can help aid cases where they are violating the resolution.

Call Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey at his office +16126732100 to demand MPD start protecting the citizens of Minneapolis.
MPD officers have a duty to protect this city, and we have known where their oath sits. Not for the citizens of this city, but with property and rhetoric of the image of the city.
Now, we may have more active ICE agents in and around the area, but we have seen smaller police departments do what our Mayor would not call on our officers to do.
St. Peter police have anywhere from 13-14 officers sworn in at anytime. Giving St. Peter a police to resident ratio of 0.11%.
MPD to Minneapolis residents: 0.13%.
Friends, we are over halfway to completing this GFM, enabling our departed neighbor’s family to pay for his funeral arrangements.
Please keep sharing, donating, and assisting his brother in honoring his life.
We need an EVICTION MORATORIUM NOW.
Our neighbors risk being separated from their families when they go to work. They also run the risk of being displaced if they don’t.
Sadly, Mayor Frey refused to sign the resolution calling on the Governor to enact this moratorium.
Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
Okay, so I was at this table with my friend the bubble letterer, who wrote “Free” in their PROFESSIONAL-grade bubble letters. It made someone big mad. So bubble person and I made some #popupleftistsupplydepot merch. Proceeds to MIRAC MN. Popupsupplies.printful.me
In the wake of YET ANOTHER tragedy perpetrated by the federal government, friends, neighbors, and volunteers gathered to pack a uhaul full of groceries organized by a friend of the Depot. Staples like rice, but also stuffed animals and coloring sets. We all feel helpless, but we do what we can.
We have helped move this to alllllllmost 50% today! Let’s see what we can do in the next 24 hours!
I hope a Mayor Frey, Governor Walz, and all elected leaders across the state can recognize that saying “Get the fuck out” is not enough.
We need to be clear about what it takes to keep us safe. ABOLISH AND PROSECUTE ICE.
