It only took me a month, but I finally made a volunteer page on Stand With Minnesota. Because we are about to need a lot of freaking volunteers. Help us keep Minnesota housed!

Every two weeks I take my kid and his friend to Stillwater and I really don’t know what to do there so I sit in the car and listen to podcasts.

We’re fundraising for bond to bail a community member out of detention. This family runs a beloved South Minneapolis restaurant that was already targeted by ICE. Now one of them has been abducted.

Thank you for anything you can contribute. I’ll keep y’all updated. 🩵

One of my first memories of Jacob Frey was when the Vikings stadium was either new or under construction and he was excited about somebody on fb suggesting that now Minneapolis could have the Olympics. He is just that type of dude.

In order to abolish ICE and defeat fascism, people in this country need to rethink their relationship to the criminal system and why it determines one's fate.

My wife learned recently that her Italian ancestors are from Bari, a city that, among other things, is known for stealing bones they thought belonged to St Nicholas during a crusade.

if he just asked each of those CEOs to donate $1 million to a rent fund, we would be able keep people housed

but no we will get a concert and merch and more dramatic portraits of jacob
We don’t need a celebration we need to abolish ICE and get justice for those murdered and for those whose rights have been violated and return our neighbors. Reminder the Roman Colosseum was a propaganda machine that enforced hierarchy and was a distraction from living standards. Stay focused MPLS.

this feels like a Roger Bannister four minute mile moment for "reactionary centrism". a level of reactionary centrism doctors (of political science) assured us was impossible but that training, dedication, ingenuity, and the Indomitable human spirit were determined to overcome
Physically incapable of analyzing politics outside of this insipid frame.

I think the dude with the doctorate in psychology, whose search results are his own website and social media sites, who makes bad memes about covid and sometimes implies as though now is as bad as early 2020, is not actually a credible epidemiological source.

I think it would be easier not to fund them to do it then to hand them more money but beg that it all be double checked.
This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in. DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own.

And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE.

There have been hugely successful campaigns to fight prison and jail construction across the country, especially in rural areas. These bring together hunters, environmentalists, Indigenous people, prison abolitionists, and immigrant advocates as well as people concerned about land use.

this is why i am laser-focused on paying rent for people right now.

the second a family is evicted, the costs of everything explode. lives are disrupted, new schools have to be found, people are in physical danger, and then they are so much harder to rehouse with an eviction on their record.
so many families are in awful positions because ICE’s bullshit has collapsed the already fragile social safety net.

this family is living in their van in minnesota in winter. they’ve applied for help at over a dozen orgs and are still unhoused. with babies.

There are no quick fixes for fascism - our charge is to confront and uproot the criminalization that underlies and drives it within and beyond borders.
Democrats are suggesting reforms for ICE, but the reality is: abolition is the way forward, not reform.

Read the latest from our co-founder Andrea J. Ritchie in @thenation.com!
Abolition Is Still the Only Way Out of This
Forget the useless so-called “reforms” to ICE and policing currently on offer. We need much more fundamental change.

If we don't want our data shared with the police, ICE, etc., the most effective safeguard is abolition.
