Hello again from Still-Occupied St Paul!
This is a vetted GFM, neighbors of a good friend of mine. These are real people and a real dog! They need about $1000 to reach the goal of housing Buck and his humans.
If you can't donate, no problem, I hope you can boost!

DID YOU KNOW?
If you have Delta Sky Miles, you can donate them to help a kidnapped-and-released person fly home!
They are set free on the streets of El Paso or another Texas town with no phone, no money, nothing at all. Your miles can get them back to their loved ones!
One small thing you can do *right now* — donate $5, $10, $50, whatever you're able — to this rent fund for South Minneapolis daycare workers whose families are sheltering in place. Can we raise $5k today??
Whatever you can give matters. And if you can't give, can you share?

Huge relief for the Haitian community in Springfield—and all over the U.S.
Some nice zingers here, to boot.
BREAKING: Judge Ana Reyes, in DC, issues a stay of DHS Sec. Noem’s decision to end Haiti’s temporary protected status (TPS) designation, a decision that was to go into effect on Tuesday and could have ended legal status for up to 350,000 people overnight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
For Liam.

4 Black journalists have been kidnapped by the federal government
This whole thread. Just all of it.
He is five years old. He has the same name as my now-adult son. They used him as bait for his father—who does not have a deportation order. His family did not know where he was for nearly 24 hours.
He is five. Years. Old. He probably says “I’m this many years old.” He has a cute hat.
I know that anyone who actually cares already knows this and understands it and agrees but they don't give a crap about "the right way" to immigrate, despite their loud protestations to that effect. This is "the right way" and they kidnapped a kindergartner.
Abolishing ICE is not enough.
"'Our operations are lawful, targeted and focused on individuals who pose a serious threat to this community,' Bovino said..."
Again, Liam is **five**. Five years old.
I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.
My friend Sama'a and her family exist on a razor-thin margin on the edge of disaster, and the side we send is all that keeps them from tipping over. Please give what you can.

Mississippi’s largest synagogue was set on fire before dawn Saturday. Fire department ruled it arson, and a suspect has been arrested.
It is the same synagogue that the Ku Klux Klan bombed in 1967 because the rabbi supported civil rights. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...
BREAKING: Staggering scenes as brave Iranians stand up to their illegitimate government in Tehran... um, hang on, I'm being told this is actually Minneapolis. Forget I said anything...
One of the many, many ways people are fighting ICE in Minneapolis is helping neighbors safely shelter at home during a time when abductions are genuinely rampant.
People in Minneapolis are doing *so much* great work
NEW: It appears billionaire Bill Ackman has donated $10k to a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who killed Renee Good.
Ackman has reposted the fundraiser but hasn’t posted about his own donation.
There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good.
This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it.
A thread on how to do that 🧵
It looked that way to me, too, but then I received an email confirmation of my report. Very odd that there’s not a report confirmation landing page though.
There is only one fraud ring that matters in the United States, and it's run out of the White House
One of the core purposes of right-wing media is to rewrite your memory and reprogram your moral response to an event you saw with your own eyes. George Floyd died of a heart attack. Jan 6 was a peaceful picnic. This process has already begun
I loved this story so, so much. Looking forward to listening to the audiobook the next time I need a little holiday HEA joy!
Evergreen:
The first thing cops say after an incident is always a lie.
I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
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
