$4068! Hell yes we cracked $4k! over 2/3 of our goal! Thank you so much - please do share it, especially if you're outside the Twin Cities usual circles. So much of our local network is tapped out at this point but they're still abducting people off the streets.
Good morning, bskies! As of this morning we are at $3901 / 5900 needed for March rent for my 3 neighbors here in S Mpls. They've been sheltering in place due to the fascist ICE goon invasion, which is still ongoing! Any extra goes to lights/food.

I'm glad schools stood firm and refused to comply in advance, given how obvious this outcome was-

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

ICE is still here in Minnesota.

The only difference in the “drawdown” I am seeing is a shift from the Bovino actions that were done for confrontation and conflict for the cameras to more snatch and grabs that are no less awful, if more dispersed.

Until they are all home.

Until we are all safe.
Two female ICE agents popped the hood of their car and knocked on the door of a mechanic born in Mexico. He went out to help.

ICE drawdown? Indications point to steady enforcement activity outside the Twin Cities
Some people who observe ICE activity are skeptical about a large scale drawdown of agents in the state. There are indications that activity has decreased in the Twin Cities, but has continued outside ...

I don't have anyone here to say "don't overdo it" to when it comes to shoveling snow but seriously folks, don't overdo it. (I'm too late with this maybe for some people. Be careful out there, folks.) (And major appreciation to anyone doing snow removal for others too.)

However, please realise that regular-degular people ARE using LLMs for medical shit for the same reasons they fall prey to snake-oil grifters who, this is key, listen attentively to them: far too many actual doctors are gaslighting dildobuckets who refuse to acknowledge patients' reported symptoms.

Anecdotally, my friends doing observation and legal work haven't seen a steep drop in ICE activity, but at the airport, the trends are looking pretty promising - over last five days, the average number of ICE detainees getting flown out is 8 per day.

$3951 / 5900 raised for my ICE-impacted neighbors, thank you so much, let's keep going so we can get them their housing funds for March ahead of the due date!

Yeah, we really need people who aren't in Minnesota who have some extra funds to remember us & step up. If you donated to a rent relief fund last month or earlier in this one, odds are the same folks need more money now (or will very soon). Many of our neighbors are still in hiding & can't work.
I can tell that it's slowed down bc the Twin Cities networks are pretty much tapped out at this point, which I totally understand, but I hope the rest of the world hasn't moved on already.
