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. Itβs going to be a great weekend at Pilllar!

They fund it in Gaza. They're doing it to Venezuelan fisherman. They're doing it in Iran. They're doing it in the streets and in concentration camps to immigrants in the US. They've done it to US citizen protestors on the streets in Minnesota.
There are no limits to what they are capable of.
The very cool poster from tonightβs Jason Isbell showβbenefiting the Immigrant Law Centerβcan be ordered now even if youβre not going, or if (like me) you donβt like standing in line and then holding a poster:

Long may she wave
A note from a student that reads "I think you should get ICE out of Minnesota. They are taking people from their homes. One of my friends had to move to Texas because she was scared that ICE will take her and her family. I have not seen her in two month! So... you should get rid of ICE!
Hand delivered, written by a Minnesota student. Just an absolute gut punch. Where is our humanity?
americans canβt afford health care or basic needs but yes tax payer money to illegally bomb and kill school children and civilians
this is amazing JJ! (fellow UW-Madison grad here) Going to try to make it down from Minneapolis...would be awesome if you guys came out to the Twin Cities for MSPIFF sometime as well :)
Blue circle logo with the words βWe keep us safeβ and βMplsβ set off by stars on either side of βMpls.β The inner circle is split into 4 quadrants by lines; top left is a whistle and top right is the back of a mobile phone to honor observers & interveners; bottom left is a grocery bag to honor those engaged in mutual aid; bottom right is a protest fist but in a winter glove.
Design in first image in blue, on a white βringerβ t shirt with matching blue collar & sleeve trim.
Hated to lose the protest mitten, but too many people clocked it as a boxing glove. I think the new βprotest winter gloveβ 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.
I profiled Jason Chavez, the Minneapolis city council member who has been embedded in community efforts to combat ICE.
βTo leave your constituents to face off with a racist fascist regime on their own, without having someone that has some powerβ¦I could not let my constituents be out there alone.β
βNo front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.β www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...
this is literally right wing propaganda. cbs news cannot be trusted.
We need better Democrats.
Not a single dollar more for Trumpβs illegal war.
They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that
Theyβre still lying to us.

Why is it always presumed that a landlord cannot be asked to weather a bit of a bumpy ride for a short period, but tenants must do everything right or face the consequences? If a landlord can't handle a limited amount of arrears, they shouldn't be in business.
"I demanded that they leave, and they didn't really listen to me at first. But there were enough people there blowing whistles that maybe they were just annoyed enough to leave on their own."
Council President Elliott Payne describing the moment his community annoyed ICE out of a police precinct parking lot will eventually rank alongside Lincoln's best civil war quote memes.
JUST IN: North Carolina's Dem lawmaker Carla Cunningham gave the GOP the decisive vote to pass a law forcing police to comply with ICE. She said "all cultures are not equal."
She just lost reelection BIG in the Dem primary to a progressive pastor & activist, Rodney Sadler. 70% to 22%!
Context:
ββ¦Moriarty announced the creation of the Transparency and Accountability Project [TAP], which will give citizens the ability to submit to the Hennepin County Attorneyβs Office any evidence of behavior by federal agents that might have been unlawful.β

Nothing but respect for my Council President π«‘ and CM Chavez!
Pause Evictions. We need more time to recover.
Email your CM and the Mayor.

This is who the Minnesota WILD GM wanted in the US Men's locker room to celebrate. Someone who is actively covering up the murders of 2 Minnesotans.
itβs way too late for angie craig to FINALLY admit she regrets voting for the laken riley act. being unable to recognize it as harmful at the time & only changing her mind after the terror her vote helped bring to minnesota isnβt good enough. the damage was done

After a bunch of assholes made money insider trading on the timing of the war, a different group of assholes could be making money for posting lies about the war
ICE is still here in MN, and our neighbors are still in hiding. Rent is due TODAY, and Iβm scrambling to raise funds to keep immigrant families in need out of eviction court. Can you help?

video from iceout.org earlier today at the whipple outside minneapolis shows a hennepin county sheriffβs deputy shoving the head of a protestor who was already tackled into the ground
we need someone to challenge dawanna witt for sheriff. this brutality happening under her watch is unacceptable
about 30 people were arrested at whipple this morning for unlawful assembly, and many first hand reports say hennepin county sheriff's office were escalating. people were arrested when they were retreating, and people were knocked down by law enforcement
Thereβs an increase of activity at the Whipple building today. 50-60+ vehicles have been reported to exist the Whipple building. We need community to be on alert and for neighbors to observe and patrol. Thank you for everyone that continues to support our immigrant neighbors.

itβs crazy how chickenshit anyone with actual power is, and how brave my neighbors are. letβs try going all in on civil society, I know who I trust with my life.
