Dear neighbor,
HIGH ALERT‼️ If you are vulnerable to deportation please stay home today. I’m sorry to say this but it’s not safe to be outside. ICE is tearing families apart.
Children of immigrants please keep your family safe.

This is Minneapolis:
Your friends are over for monthly brunch. The kids all play while you talk about the horrors. You take breaks to check Signal bc neighbors are reaching out.
A neighbor needs support with rent bc they haven't been able to work due to fear of being abducted by our fed govt.

I don’t know if I’m the only one who assumed this, but guessing from the amount of people slipping around the ice right now maybe I’m not: Yaktrax aren’t expensive, like less than $25 and the off brand ones are even cheaper, like $12. Easily the best money I’ve spent this year

We don’t have to be so desperate for someone to say good things about Mpls that we give tools like this a platform and $ for it.

I have to take a different car to run errands on a different route to try to avoid the federal agents currently swarming my neighborhood.
My husband is on foot patrol.
We now have one car and exclusively for mutual aid to those in hiding.

It's hovering over Powderhorn. I left that area at 8:30 to go home and there was *no one* around. Literally just silence and one or two cars passing through.
But there are some people keeping vigil at the site of a murder, so I guess we gotta terrorize a neighborhood more!

One of the many, many ways people are fighting ICE in Minneapolis is helping neighbors safely shelter at home during a time when abductions are genuinely rampant.

This was incredible. We fed 40 families today. Thank you to @jchavezmpls.bsky.social for helping fundraise, @elitalksmpls.bsky.social for organizing with me, and the dozen people who helped us pack and shop. And thank you to everyone who donated. I have no words.

Frey: "I think the initial impetus to come to MN was to arrest & deport a bunch of Somali people. They got here & realized the Somali people that would be deported are all citizens. Then they turned their ire toward our Latino community & others. These are communities that make Mpls a better place."

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.
The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.
This is not protection. This is occupation.

I fear that Walz and the national Dem leadership are stuck in a world of obsession over optics. Obsessed with keeping the left/activist/mob in check.
And optics do matter!
But I think the optics that matter now are authenticity, courage, and meaningfully caring for each other. Agency.

Some folks claim they could never live in a city bc it’s too loud, esp overnight.
Minneapolis is quiet at night!
The only things that have interrupted my sleep in 6 years of living here are
1) fireworks around the 4th and
2) incessant helicopters after George Floyd was murdered and now.

You can raise funds! Get your friends and neighbors to donate.
Families are too afraid to leave their homes. Teachers and social workers know which families have the most need.
