*Everyone* I know in MN is exhibiting telltale signs of trauma response to the occupation at this point; whether directly impacted or feeling the impacts of secondary and indirect trauma.

This is a reminder to care for the helpers and front line folks. To get rest and pace yourself.

Hang in there.

I want to let you know about something that happened at Pizza Luce and encourage you to thank and patronize them.  One of the drivers at Parkway Pizza who is a friend of mine told me tonight about something that happened at the downtown Mpls Pizza LucΓ© where his wife works.  
A kitchen manager has been giving rides to workers afraid to take public transportation to work.  Last week, two ICE SUVs pulled her over.  There was a young Latina women in the car and ICE grabbed her.  She is here legally, but apparently, if you are not white, you need to carry a passport or other documents with you.
Despite the fact that she is here legally, ICE flew her to their detention facility outside of El Paso, TX.  Fortunately, the owner of the Pizza LucΓ© chain paid for a lawyer to expedite her release.  Unfortunately, when ICE is forced to release people they have unlawfully detained and flown to Texas, they do not fly them back.  They just dump them on the streets of El Paso.  But again, fortunately, the owner of Pizza LucΓ© paid for a plane ticket to fly her home.  So please thank the folks at Pizza LucΓ© if you have the chance.
Dozens of Minnesotans have not been so lucky as this woman and are trying to find their way back from Texas.  Today's NY Times has a story about "Selamawit Mehari, an Eritrean single mother of three.... federal agents showed up at her apartment in St. Paul...(even though) her older daughter produced paperwork proving her mother was in the United States lawfully, the agents shackled Ms. Mehari and took her away."  The story cites many like her who "were eventually released in Texas, leaving them to find their own way home."

From FB regarding Pizza Luce in Minnesota.

I like it when I can do something to help people displaced by ICE and then after I do that thing I get to eat a pizza.

This afternoon, federal agents returned to Powderhorn Park. There were 4 ICE vehicles staging at Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot. This is a clear violation of city and park board policy. 1/

There is an overlap between goth makeup and clown makeup. Also I'm sure Harley Quinn played a big role.

Dear neighbor,

There’s a ton of ICE activity today in South Minneapolis and across Phillips today. Please stay on alert and be careful.

We need folks to observe. Please continue to show up and when you do please bring a pair for safety.

Thanks Magpie, these are encouraging words to read. We are hearty people but sometimes self doubting. Maybe our example can help turn the tide and inspire the rest of the country. I hope I see you in the streets tomorrow.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

Their challenge coin is a laughing skeleton wearing a crown, with vultures on it's shoulders.

Looks less like something you'd give "law enforcement" and more like something you'd give to the death squad of a king.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

Minneapolis schools offer remote learning as tensions rise over federal immigration enforcement The Minneapolis school system will offer families the option of remote learning for a month. Officials made the announcement Friday in response to concerns that children might feel unsafe venturing out in the city.

ICE rammed into a car at 34th and Park And then began to question the immigration status of U.S. Citizen Latino’s they crashed into.

They also deployed chemical irritants into the eyes of the press. Abolish ICE now.

We are aware of a shooting involving a federal agent at 34th Street and Portland. We are working to confirm additional information, but what we know is that the presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city and making our community less safe.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

Water only for the eyes! Tilt head to the side and aim a gentle jet at the inner tear duct. Use a key to poke a hole in the lid of a water bottle.

Sudecon wipes, DIY Sudecon wipes, oil-free makeup wipes, or a 50/50 mix of Maalox and water for skin only.

NO MILK!
