If someone is going out of their way to deliver something to you, it’s only fair to tip them. If you don’t want to do that you can go pick it up yourself

Thank you for coming to my TED talk

It’s day 95 of the ICE occupation of MN.

This weekend, Minneapolis is waiting to see if Jacob Frey will sign the Pause Evictions, Save Lives policy passed by the City Council.

The mutual aid fundraising has been enormous, but the needs continue, even as donations have slowed.

Call the mayor!

Melt ICE, by Minnesota Artists United Against ICE 110 track album

This was just mentioned, first I had heard about it. 110 songs from Minnesota artists, and money raised goes to mutual aid efforts. It's bandcamp Friday and your dollars will go even further today!

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.

(from what I shared)

Minneapolis should be modeling to other cities what it means to show up for each other. We've seen that in people-powered mutual aid work, but the city can and must take action at a larger scale. "Pause Evictions, Save Lives" is smart policy. It is also the right thing to do.

Honestly if you’re sending a robot to run terraform destroy, that damage is on you. Humans can’t even run that thing without disastrous consequences. That’s what you get for running with scissors

Apparently, Frey's resistance to ICE ends when landlords are impacted.

The Mayor has until Wednesday to change his mind.

Take a moment to tell him to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives, and help keep our neighbors housed as we continue the real fight to protect residents. Call 612-673-2100 today!

A stack of stickers in the style of a Neighborhood Watch sign, but the bottom says "If I don't tell the Signal chat my neighbor will", sitting on a desk next to an iPods Pro case.

Neighborhood Watch stickers are in hand! Want one?

For every $10 you donate to standwithminnesota.com I will send you one!

DM me a screenshot and an address where I can send them. Don't want to send your address? No problem, DM me and let's figure something out.

That’s fair. I don’t make fun of her for doing it per se; I think of it more like when the menswear guy makes fun of people’s choices in ugly shoes
