Thinking about the guy at our caucus who gave a very passionate speech about staying in CDT all the time and everyone was like “sure ok.”
He was shocked no one cared to discuss it and we all passed it unanimously.
It was like “.. and further more! Oh… ok. Thanks everyone.”
DHS claimed "an ICE agent had fired 'defensive shots' into Martinez's vehicle after Martinez 'intentionally ran over' another agent."
But body cam video now "shows that Martinez's vehicle, a blue Ford Fusion, was stationary or going at a very low rate of speed when he was fatally shot."
YOOOOOOOOO
Just thinking about how we need to protect Steve Simon at all costs.

ICE is still here in MN, and our neighbors are still in hiding. Rent is due TODAY, and I’m scrambling to raise funds to keep immigrant families in need out of eviction court. Can you help?

Hey @alockstadt.bsky.social. Missed you.
The namesake of the Minnesota fed gulag, that sits at the Bdote, named after an Episcopal bishop who supposedly gained a reputation as an advocate for native and immigrant folks is particularly diabolical, even for a diabolical nation.
Today is the last day of February and rent is DUE.
I'm working with @ziibiing.com at Stand With Minnesota to raise funds to pay rents for ICE impacted families.
You can send funds to me

Dm me. It’s not likely, but we could put them on a waitlist.
I gently ranted on LinkedIn today and it is fascinating to see who has liked my post and who hasn’t.
I’ll try to thread this at some point.
Thousands of our neighbors are struggling to pay rent. Mayor Frey is sending scolding letters painting small business aid and rent assistance as fiscally irresponsible. MPD blew $4.3 million on overtime last month.
And now the Frey administration wants $38 million for MPD’s own cop city?
Check out the transfundraiser on Instagram. Dm me if you want to chat on the phone.
Depends on how much they are trying to raise!
@amyudiaz.bsky.social - hi hi, can you dm me about your fundraiser? I have a few questions and would love to promote it.
Mobile home parks are constantly targeted by ICE because they’re often more isolated from more visible residential neighborhoods. There’s 21 families that need help paying March rent and @amyudiaz.bsky.social is in direct contact with the landlord to make it happen. Help donate!

Cortisol takes our hunger cues and goes, “hmmm is this DANGER?”
Thanks for trying, brain.
Manifesting the goal for rents is met by Saturday.
There’s over $600,000 in requests.
Each story is heartbreaking.
$455,000+ was distributed in February. We’re ready to do it again, but need help!

We’ve been invited to three Iftars so far this Ramadan and I’m PUMPED.
I can guarantee Ashley means what she says here: she’s doing this so ppl can stay in their homes.
I CANT OUT THEM
We’re in a bar with …. 20 TVs and not one is playing the SOTU.
I love you, Southside.
Working with the Adopt a Rent program on standwithminnesota.com, I’m adopting another rent.
Total rent need for this Minneapolis immigrant family is $1864. Can you help them stay housed?

This is just torturing people who are already being deported
Long live the Stump, the Party!
