to not talk too much,you might scare away the fish! I've met many new people. I'm hanging in there but feeling pretty exhausted, crazy and both sad and hopeful for what is going on.

Peace and love to all.

Well enough of my usual disconnected/non sequitur ramblings. The good news – – – is the heartwarming response of south Minneapolis neighbors- and neighbors everywhere in the Twin Cities. These squarehead Norwegians are actually starting to talk to each other besides grunting and telling you

trying to unionize give up. Nor do I wish to be a martyr. Disinformation and confusion are not hard to find online-occasionally even from the left, AI, etc. Many people are tense, whether white skinned or darker skinned. Mental health is a real problem anyway in this country.

if he was OK and in tears he said No, I'm not OK. He was bleeding profusely. They beat the fuck out of him.

I'm being safe –and paranoid. But I refuse to give in. The civil rights people and womens’ suffrage people didn't nor did the labor people in 1934, shot by the Minneapolis police

I wanted to cry when I saw footage of a 16 year old Target worker latin kid, jumped on by five thugs in Richfield Target lobby. They threw him in the SUV and when they discovered he was actually a citizen they dumped him out the door 10 minutes away in a Walmart parking lot. Someone asked him

I want to cry right now when I think about that Hmong man who was led out of his house yesterday in arctic temperatures with nothing but a blanket and tennis shoes and his underwear. Who is a lifelong legal resident in fact a friend of recently elected Mayor St Paul.

They're afraid to go to work, they're afraid to go to school, they’re afraid they may get abducted when they move their cars for snow emergencies. They've been plainclothes ice agents going into apartments pretending to be looking for rentals, Fallowed by the goon squad.

I'm proud to be a Minnesotan, well I wish I was in a warmer place right now.

Just came back from Costco and bought loads of diapers and baby formula to be delivered to needy families almost entirely Hispanics who live about a mile west of me. (Holy shit is that stuff expensive!)

Many restaurants have the front door locked and will let you in after you knock and they see you're not gestapo. We are trying to focus now on food/medical support people who are sheltering and afraid to leave their homes. The outpouring of delivery volunteers and food has been amazing.

Like drug agents that bust into your house they don't clean up after themselves! Some restaurants have closed due to a lack of staffing and most of the Latino restaurants on Lake Street business is down about 80% since they first started this shit back in August or September I can't remember when.

were gone, Neighbors had already been over there. I can't tell you the level of paranoia and fear. Two young guys that were delivering Amazon four doors down from me were taken down and abducted. It's not uncommon for them to leave animals in the cars or even smash your car and leave it to be towed.

– and I don't mean Renee Good, many others.
I decided to not consider the rapid response and confronting the f’ing brown shirts, when a report came in yesterday from two men in camouflage in a black Mazda in an alley a block away from me. By the time I threw on my boots and ran over there they

the average ice event duration was seven minutes. I suspect now the average is about four minutes. In other words they kick down your door grab you at the bus stop, smash your windows in a car and put you in vans if you dare even film them peacefully

community support and delivery without jeopardizing families.
Protest is a different matter I imagine you've all seen the news so I'm not telling you anything new. But I will tell you it is actually far worse than the news tell you. When I was doing rapid response five weeks ago

I walked because I don't want ice to run my plates when they come and whisk people away when they're dropping off or picking up the kids at school bus stops etc. Makes it easier for them to tell me when I'm delivering food to people so I really can't mix observation response very well with

I am on signal groups three zones in Minneapolis in a different groups I get probably 400 chat pings a day. I'm trying to narrow it down.

Where do I even begin. I've been doing school patrols and two different schools in my neighborhood within two blocks of me.

Thank you for your comics/memes. I share them every morning in an email to my brothers.

My oldest brother is an observer in S Mpls. He sent this description to us last Tuesday before the peaceful march and before Pretti was killed. It’s very long:

Alert 🚨: this is an all hands on deck moment!

We need everyone to share this video.

One of the most wonderful, charismatic young leaders in Texas, Congressional candidate @Isaiahrmartin.bsky.social was just brutalized & detained for simply speaking his mind.

Please speak out!
