The Islamic Center and market in my neighborhood (Phillips) is my favorite block on my daily walks. There are always folks out, chatting and smiling, making the block feel alive.

That's right. Don't be a sucker. This US propaganda film from 1947 (when the government was anti-fascist) is always worth a rewatch www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K6-...

There are 75,977 people born in Somalia who are now citizens of the United States, including those specific people.

He is talking about US citizens. He is talking about *us*.

The truth is that none of us are garbage, and the job of the US president is to represent all of us.

We, the people.
Trump on Somalis: "We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage into our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."

incidents like this are why people should not be posting to social media if you're not on scene as if you are. like, relaying information second hand from chats and judging only by photos and videos when you are missing IRL context is dangerous behavior
O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

Strib has a live blog following what seems like the imminent targeting of Somali migrants in the Twin Cities by ICE: www.startribune.com/live-minneap...
Live: Minneapolis officials to address reports of Trump administration targeting Somali migrants
The New York Times reports that the ICE operation comes as President Donald Trump has used increasingly inflammatory language to attack Somalis in recent days.

If you want to help with ICE but don’t want to get into a confrontation, look up “cop watch” resources and apply those lessons when you come out. There needs to be a record of and witnesses to the grand scale of human and constitutional rights abuses of this government.

We are seeing an escalation across South Minneapolis today and are asking community to be in alert. We are also sharing what we can while respecting the family impacted.

The Nazis used the term "Lying Press" (Lügenpresse) to discredit and censor all dissenting media, simultaneously targeting journalists, and seizing, and giving their political allies control of news outlets to crush any opposition.

Just mentioning that now for no reason at all.

This would have been REALLY NICE today.

Municipal sidewalk snow clearing in Minneapolis (and St Paul) NOW.
I know that many other cities don’t plow their sidewalks, leaving it up to property owners. This is completely crazy to me.

Our sidewalk plows look like this and they do a pretty good job.

I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

Bike Parking Review: MN Orchestra

The treble clef bike racks are an A+ in my book. They fit perfectly with the location, there are a handful of them, and there are plenty of places on each rack to lock, making them usable with any bike.

This is the strategy ICE are following to meet their quotas. "Detain, deprive, deport" -- the "deprive" step is keeping folks in inhumane conditions to coerce them into signing a removal order. This is how they are bypassing due process.
