All of us do everything in our power to keep our loved ones safe, whether we’re born here or moved to make Minneapolis our home.

But before our very eyes, Trump is ordering his masked secret police to kidnap our immigrant neighbors and terrorize our communities.

ICE Targets Somali Community in Minneapolis - UNICORN RIOT ICE agents have descended on Minneapolis for Operation Metro Surge, a new phase of the Trump Administration’s crackdown on immigrants, this time targeting the city’s Somali population.

I walk or bike through this Augsburg parking lot (and the Cedar Riverside neighborhood) twice a day to get from my home in West Seward to my West Bank UMN office. I did the Monarca legal witness training today and it was really good. Highly recommend. monarcamn.org/training

Downtown Minneapolis' public bathroom problem For years, downtown boosters have acknowledged a lack of loos makes the area less welcoming.

The Tiger by Nael, age 6 From They're Singing a Song in Their Rocket The tiger He destroyed his cage Yes YES The tiger is out

i'm real sick of people not in minneapolis trying to give chief o'hara some sort of credit for an ultimately meaningless statement

the things the MPD has sworn are policy and then either didn't follow or just blatantly contradicted could fill a world book encyclopedia

the police banned no knock warrants. oops amir locke died.

banned high speed chases in the city. oops that didn't happen.

Changed use of force policies to include brandishing a weapon. Oop that has not changed one bit.

banned "warrior" training. the police union found a way around it.

public libraries can play a role in popular resistance to the reduction of culture to bitstreams, but it’s important to remember that public libraries have a mandate to develop their collections, and that means regular weeding. this is why resource sharing (i.e. ILL) is essential. 📚

Recovery Bikes is willing to be a whistle hub. If you have whistles please bring there. Open until 6pm today.

If you need a whistle, take a whistle.

And if you don’t already bring them your bikes for repairs what are you even doing.

This is also why we ask for wool socks! And it's not just about frost bite, don't Google trench foot if you have a sensitive stomach, but trust that wool is a great way to address at least some of that.

Can you hit up the @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social Venmo to help keep our neighbors warm? Put a 🌴 in the notes

We are now also low on snow boots, I think probably 40 pairs went out today!

Incident by SWLRT Speaking of emergency response, last evening park police were called to a “person down” report in a wooded area near Kenilworth Trail, between the 21st Street and Bryn Mawr light rail stations. Upon arrival, park police found a deceased adult male in an encampment on Met Council property. In a tent nearby, another person was found with critical injuries and taken to HCMC. A third person was arrested for being a non-compliant sex offender after trying to enter the crime scene. The MPD Homicide Unit is investigating, and I’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available. It is bittersweet to think that this parks chapter of my public service is coming to a close soon, but I look forward with great excitement to serving you on the city council. Please know that in these uncertain times I stand with community. Thank you, Elizabeth Shaffer Minneapolis Park Commissioner, District 4 Minneapolis City Council Member-Elect

maybe we wouldn't be finding dead bodies in wooded areas outside of transit stops that are under construction if we weren't evicting encampments and chasing people to the outskirts of society. elizabeth shaffer links to a map drawing exactly where
