They’re still lying to us.

These cuts are the latest in a long series of efforts to punish Minnesotans β€” but just as we fought back and won when they illegally tried to cut funding for childcare, hungry families, and our schools, we are suing them again today to make them follow the law.

We oppose H.R. 7661: Tying federal education funding to restrictions on certain books & educational materials pressures schools to remove titles that discuss identity, history, and lived experiences that some politicians find controversial. action.everylibrary.org/hr_7661

Sheriff Witt and Hennepin County are not just collaborators with ICE, they act as their personal goons, shielding them from non-violent protestors and dildoes alike.

These monsters do not work for the people and Sheriff Witt must not be re-elected this November.

MAJOR: Twin Cities Tenants joins five labor unions, together repping 25,900 members, to launch a rent strike drive, vowing to withhold rent March 1 if @governorwalz.mn.gov fails to deliver an eviction moratorium and rent relief. If launched, this would be the largest US rent strike in 100+ years.

Stand With Minnesota Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

It’s day 88 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

The world we are building together is beautiful.

Thousands of our neighbors in hiding are having their rent paid by strangers.

And many of our rent funds are powered mostly by small donations.

Let’s keep our neighbors safe and housed.

The Kansas government made it a crime to drive while trans (with a license with your AGAB).

Their goal here is simple. Arrest trans people on technicalities, throw them in prison, deny them gender-affirming care, & make them victims of violence.

It’s the next step towards concentration camps.

One way to help is to support trans people escape from states gearing up for anti-trans pogroms by donating to the Trans Continental Pipeline.

This is a great read. Worth your time today.
