I dunno, seems like at this point, bands that skip Minneapolis/St. Paul are cowards. They have plenty of time between Chicago and Austin on this tour.

Uniqueness 1 in 184
Itβs not just Medicaid funding theyβre withholding to MN. Itβs food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.
They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
Nobody better be going to any more fucking Wild games.
Go cheer the Frost and throw hot dogs at Britta Curl.
Fuck the NHL and menβs hockey
Fuck Ice
Rent is due in days and there's still a gap to meet the needs of immigrant families at our neighborhood school. Many can't access other assistance. If we raise $5000 by Friday, KeepMNHoused.com will match it. Double your money here (select "Folwell Community Fund"): www.givemn.org/story/folwel...

Minneapolis is like
shit is STILL rough here. this is a map of current reported ICE activity in the twin cities area (via iceout.org/en/ )
True to my experience. Thx for the good reporting.
Itβs not a withdrawal until ICE is abolished.
I have neighbors everywhere.
Weβre never going to turn our backs on our neighbors and stop exercising our constitutional rights. No amount of meetings with Tom Homan or anyone in the Trump administration will change our communityβs resolve.
This only ends when every DHS agent leaves and they no longer exist to terrorize us.
It is not our moral responsibility to coddle the delusional fears and bigotries of white supremacists. It is not our moral responsibility to change reality for them so they can hold onto those fears and bigotries.
It is our moral responsibility to make their fears and bigotries THEIR problem.
I've only done it twice, but didn't get sick and it was pretty enjoyable! A little too chicken to try my luck by going more frequently
From a Comrade 19h. C One of the nuts things about organizing in the Twin Cities right now is that even the most long term organizers who've been here for decades can't keep track of all the resistance that is going on. There are so many self-organized crews just doing work that in any conversation with someone from another neighborhood you might stumble over a whole collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers taking cars of detained people away for free. People delivering food to families in hiding. So many local rapid response groups that the number is uncertain but somewhere between 80 and the low hundreds- especially when one considers that several immigrant communities have their own non-English rapid response networks usually uncounted in the main English-language directories. People standing watch outside daycares and schools. This whole resistance has so many poles of initiative and leadership, so many layers of self-organization, that it's extraordinarily difficult for the state to repress or for opportunists be they Democrats or movement-riding parties) to co-opt and control. Of course, that's built up through many years and decades of organization, and not only through explicitiv political campaigns or formations built during times of crisis and rupture like 2020. It is also built through day-to-day mutual aid, culture building, workplace and tenant organizing, and simple, basic relationship building among neighbors and coworkers here.

Paging @luv2cuss69.bsky.social
Iβm thinking about order this morning wrt the ICE occupation & the peopleβs response to it.
Because the power brokers expect order through control & obedience to a set of rules they impose.
Except the people of Minnesota, while acting very orderly, have managed to subvert the coercive control.

Almost, that was Tom Hoch
Right now there are 300 people in Minnesota that judges have ordered released but ICE hasnβt released and often say they cannot find.
Let that sink in.
I've learned that the MN Sheriffs Association wants to use procurement contracts called "basic ordering agreements" as a way to bypass AG Ellison's advisory opinion that MN police agencies can't legally hold people on immigration detainers beyond when they would otherwise be released from custody.
Shit.

This article is a very good example of why "more training" and "more vetting" isn't the answer. Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez joined Border Patrol in 2018 and 2014 respectively. These aren't new agents. www.propublica.org/article/alex...
The 4yo was telling me in the car how we will win and the bad guys will leave bc we are determined. I choose to believe she's right.
