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.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s 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.

Support 2026 Folwell Community Fund on GiveMN A fundraiser to support mutual aid at Folwell Elementary in South Minneapolis.

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...

Operation Midway Blitz fallout still being felt in Chicago's Latino neighborhoods While federal immigration enforcement shrank when many agents left Chicago in November, the aftermath is affecting what people do every day in Little Village, Pilsen and the Southeast Side.

there's so much work to do.

We’re 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 community’s 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.

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.

I’m thinking about order this morning wrt the ICE occupation & the people’s 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.

Minnesota refugees and immigrants are hiding in β€˜a prison of fear’ Across Minnesota, thousands of immigrants and refugees are staying home from work, church and school to avoid ICE agents.

”I am a prisoner in my apartment,” said the 30-year-old North St. Paul resident. β€œI am hiding in the shadows, not because I have committed a crime, but because the streets of Minnesota have begun to look terrifyingly similar to the war zone I escaped.” www.startribune.com/minnesota-re...

Right now there are 300 people in Minnesota that judges have ordered released but ICE hasn’t 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.
