90% of evictions in MN are for nonpayment of rent. I did a sample a week ago and found the avg nonpayment eviction in Hennepin County would take $5,122 to stop. Studies (before the high inflation of the past few years) suggest stopping an eviction saves $6,832 in public costs. It just makes sense

Kansas invalidates driver’s licenses, birth certificates of over 1,000 transgender residents The Kansas state government has invalidated the driver’s licenses and birth certificates of transgender residents who changed the gender on those documents, in accordance with a law that took effect o...

When fascists take rights away from a group of people, they never stop there. Eventually, they come for everything. Invalidating the drivers licenses of trans people in Kansas is just the start. Who will be next?

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.

β€œIn addition to increasing the age for able bodied adults to work from 54 to 64, the law eliminates exemptions for veterans, people experiencing homelessness, young adults aging out of foster care, and parents and caregivers with children between the ages of 14 and 18.”

Ashley has raised millions upon millions of dollars for Minnesota. Our actual mayor has done nothing but go on TV.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

gooooood morning! I have rents between $1018 and $2030 available for adoption today. Let's keep on keeping people out of eviction court!

You can dm me on signal asiniiwiikwe.72 if you would like to pay someone's rent.

I once watched two Minneapolis turkeys attack an MPD vehicle in the middle of Chicago Ave (hilarious). They are obviously ACAB and for sure would agree F* 🧊

Fascism wants you to believe that you are alone. That you are isolated. That the feelings you have are yours and nobody else has them because everybody is too afraid to speak.

But love is stronger than fascism. Community is stronger than fascism.

One of the things that keeps me going is that we are trying to protect something--community--and in the process we are strengthening that very thing. Their goal is simply to destroy. They have the guns and we have the whistles, but every day we become stronger and they do not.

THIS! We’re talking about Liam because he was in the news and we know enough to be able to talk about him, but we also hope to use his story to help raise awareness of all 3800+ kids who have been detained by ICE during this presidential administration. They all deserve love, care, and liberty.

if you feel like passing around a link today and helping fundraise for rent that will actually get paid today (and in the next few days for families who have a grace period) you can send here.

we will be going hard all day. i won’t be posting about it because I don’t want to flood your feeds.

Important information, but wildly insufficient resources for our current, unprecedented crisis.

In 30 days or less, the existing epidemic of homelessness in MN will be multiplied more than we can imagine, unless @governorwalz.mn.gov declares an eviction moratorium.

They want to tell you a kid with a Spider-Man backpack is evil Liam Ramos' innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable. The visuals of his arrest are excruciating.

At least 3,800 kids, including 20 infants, have been detained since Donald Trump returned to office.

Charging a Black journalist under the KKK Act for reporting on a protest is a whole new level of fucked up.

Some things to understand about people from Minnesota on here right now, a short thread:

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it:

Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

Good morning friends! Some things to remember when you call your senators today:
1. Renee Good's killer is still at large and has not faced justice
2. Alex Pretti's murderers are still at large, unnamed and still working on our dime.
3. 35 people died in ICE custody last year. 35 shattered families
