It's inspiring when we pay each other's rent, but we are not allowed to ask why the communities terrorized by the state are expected to pay rent at all. Can't even ask for a delay. No infringement upon the rights of the ownership class.
some of us are really enjoying the warm fool’s spring sunlight
I swore many years ago that I would never pay for journalism because I am a jerk. I now happily pay for @racketmn.com. Here is a great selection of some important Racket articles.
....incredible lore, which i will now also always associate with jax
"I didn’t go in thinking I wasn’t gonna have a great time in Minneapolis, but I remember having a moment halfway through the show where I was like, 'Holy shit, I’m having fun. These people are so great.'”
this rocks omg
For @racketmn.com, I wrote about The Gathering for Good, the huge fundraiser Mancini's Char House & Lounge--yes, that one--held two weeks ago for ICE victims in St. Paul's West 7th neighborhood. One of my best, huge thanks to everyone involved.

my invite (and maybe every racket editor's invite?) came from you!!
Community defense is different here. Scary. Lonely. There's (some) safety in numbers, and they're hard to come by in our red exurban and rural communities.
We're standing up anyway.
So, today's front page print headline seemed quite fitting:
Emotion, defiance as ICE roams western WI
FUCK ICE.
I wanted to talk with Steve because it's amazing he came out of retirement to publish independently. I had no idea he'd been forced to RELEARN HIS ARTFORM WITH HIS LEFT HAND. Anyway, great guy and a state treasure.

the last few weeks in MN have been the greatest moment of nonviolent protest i've seen in my lifetime. i spoke to the organizers of marches and demonstrations, bike rides and ice fishing protests—and even a puppeteer—about this winter of protest in minnesota.
The Central neighborhood in South Minneapolis has been disproportionally impacted by ICE. Our neighbors are struggling to stay in their homes. This fund will help with direct rent and mortgage support to Central Minneapolis neighbors in need.

A week or two ago, a member of one of the families we’ve been supporting shared this piece with me. She said that writing has been helping her get through this time, and after reading it, I asked if I could help her get it published. Thank you again to @racketmn.com for giving it a home
This case is insane:
ICE shot and killed a citizen last March then *hid it for a year.*
The young man they killed had no criminal history.
All we know about shooting is from internal ICE docs.
We don't know officers' names.
We don't have footage.

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.
Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.
HATE this word
oh important q! they share them on instagram 24 hours before the event: www.instagram.com/visitlakestr...
“the one we went to last week at sanag restaurant, i came with my son, and we were at the front door with a bunch of other people—the owner was trying to hand out menus but didn’t have enough for all the people. i thought, ‘this is a good problem to have.’”
“Now livestreaming has transformed the media landscape,” @unicornriot.bsky.social co-founder Niko Georgiades observes. “There's right-wing cats that've infiltrated all these places. You see 16-year-old kids with selfie sticks on TikTok. It's the content-creation game; it's the new game of media."
Friends, can you chip in to support our NE neighbor? He’s lost his family, and he’s staring down the barrel of an immigration hearing at Whipple next month gofund.me/39d8aaed4
