New in PN: "Just making s**t up" — @volts.wtf sounds off on the EPA
“How the f**k are they going to do that? If you can get the Supreme Court to rule carbon is not a danger to public health, it will mark the point at which they have abandoned all pretense, because that’s just a flat out lie.”
In my latest article, I write about how ICE raids in Minnesota echo the imprisonment of our ancestors at Fort Snelling, at Bdote, and the execution of the Dakota 38. This isn’t new. The land remembers. So do we. #iceout @sfchronicle.com

Twin Cities bookstores are responding to heightened fear around ICE activity by transforming their shops into hubs for community support, political understanding and emotional refuge, as readers turn to books, children’s resources and author fundraisers to navigate.

For over a decade, Indigenous communities across Minnesota have gathered on Feb. 14 to bring awareness to missing and murdered Indigenous relatives.
The day brings awareness to the epidemic of Indigenous people who have gone missing or have been murdered in acts of violence.
By adopting a time-honored tactic of slowing down malevolent actors, neighbors are taking risks to achieve concrete results, writes @blindeke.bsky.social in this week's Cityscape column.

Registration open, in-person & online. Reduced student rates & community members can request complimentary registration; limited & will be vetted. We prioritize actual tribal/Indigenous voices in resisting #pretendianism, + recognize that our community includes non-Indigenous allies. Please share.

By late Friday afternoon, the Department of Homeland Security put out a statement saying authorities had received Abreu-Vasquez's medications and that ICE would work to ensure he received them.
But on Sunday afternoon, his wife told MPR News that he still hadn't received the life-saving medication.
If you agree firing Kristi Noem is way overdue, here’s something you can do about it RIGHT NOW!

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 Lucé 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 Lucé 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 Lucé paid for a plane ticket to fly her home. So please thank the folks at Pizza Lucé 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.
Thousands showed up for the ride organized by Angry Catfish Bicycle, a community-based bike shop on the city’s south side.
Some riders wore yellow vests that read “Peaceful observer, don’t shoot” on the back.
Thank you Bruce Springsteen for “Streets of Minneapolis,” a powerful tribute to Renee Good and Alex Pretti and to the strength of the people of Minnesota.

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
