Excellent tracks from my morning walk!
Minneapolis passed a pre-eviction extension yesterday which we now need Mayor Frey to sign so it can become law & give us more time to help people with their rent.
Keep reaching out to your local officials to ensure we’re standing up for policy that keeps families together & leaves no one behind.
How did this warm my heart? I don’t know but it did. So happy for you and your ears ❤️🔥

Benjamin tells us that fascism is aesthetics made into politics. his idea definitely works—white supremacy is an extremely crude and violent aesthetic project of domination—but I can’t help but think that for whatever is post-fascism, we need a serious investment in the arts

El Taco Riendo dining room is back open and Kristi Noem is fired which means nature is healing.
At the Senate I’m continuing to push for rental assistance funding and for an extension of our pre-eviction notice which we need to help families stay in their homes.
“When I think about navigating the start of the year here, especially in our hometown in Minneapolis, the thing that we have kept front and center every single day is the safety of our team.” – Target CEO Michael Fiddelke
Peace be to this house (place)
Friends from outside Minnesota have asked me if there are celebrations in the street over Noem being fired. To anyone not in MN: no. people are still buying neighbors groceries and collecting for their rent and patrolling. If ice is abolished or trump dies, then mpls will celebrate
Months of work and millions of dollars raised by thousands of our residents to help keep people in their homes comes down to the signature of one person. We’re calling on Mayor Frey to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives. This policy temporarily gives residents 30 more days to help prevent evictions.
Pilllar has been a hub for patrollers and observers for months and they continue to give back to the community even with their biggest events. It’s going to be a great weekend at Pilllar!

All of you made me feel so much love today. This occupation has exhausted me and at times has broken my heart. But the dedication of our community and neighbors has been the fuel I’ve needed to wake up to fight another day alongside you. ❤️
Imagine if you single handedly had the power to delay thousands of evictions & keep families in their homes. Jacob Frey can do that by signing what Council passed yesterday. Or he can help evict thousands of people with a veto.
Let him know what you would do: www.minneapolismn.gov/government/m...
Just back from a patrol committee meeting and newly dazzled by the dazzling hypercompetence of my comrades. We accomplish shit in 90 minutes and $0 that would take a platoon of consultants six months and six figures. Goddamn we’re amazing ❤️🔥
Can confirm, every Signal chat in town either said nothing or made one snide comment and then immediately got back to work
And flattering!
don’t let anyone rob you of your joy about kristi noem getting fired. we get to have a day.
I don’t have any either, alas
Okay not AS small a world, but still. Geneva said your tracking made early American lit entertaining — a great compliment, especially considering it wasn’t your field. Tony is the best! We were pals at Chicago
Epic response. Thank you Senator. AWOO
Also learned that, in addition to being the Black Hart guy, @wesburdine.bsky.social is also trained in C18 literary history, like me! WHAT

Geneva also made a map of all the Minnesota businesses that closed for the general strike on Jan. 23. She says anybody is welcome to use it to find businesses to support www.genevacole.com/iceout.html
Just got off an extremely cathartic Zoom interview with political scientist Geneva Cole, who’s doing research about how Twin Cities people have responded to the occupation. It was really, really good to talk with her. I’m spreading the word! Take the survey here: www.genevacole.com/participate-...
The people of Minneapolis and Minnesota kicked Bovino out of our state and got Kristi Noem fired. We still have a long way to go but this is because of the love and resistance of our neighbors and the resiliency of our immigrant community.

Updating the occupation/medical comparison for March:
Now it's like when things are *slightly* better and you're just out of the hospital. You're still *pretty damn sick*—but now everyone expects you to do normal things, not just focus on surviving. You have less support. In some ways it's harder.
Hear directly from Aliya Rahman, who was brutally pulled from her car and assaulted by ICE on her way to a doctor’s appointment, on the importance of extending the pre-eviction notice to 60 days. We are proud to have passed this policy today and are calling on Mayor Frey to sign it immediately.

Hated to lose the protest mitten, but too many people clocked it as a boxing glove. I think the new “protest winter glove” will amuse those who get it while not confusing others. Shirt production next week, once I firm up link to Minneapolis Public School mutual aid; families receive proceeds.
This is the kind of leadership MN needs right now:
His friends get nervous, he said, and tell him to avoid putting himself in harm’s way.
“I don’t care. They’re coming after our people,” Chavez said. “Like, over my dead body are they gonna kidnap more people.”
