Heads up, chin up. I see you on the streets, on your block, & in community. Thanks for being there for our immigrant neighbors.

There have been losses but there have been many more victories. When a family makes it some safe for the night we get to celebrate.

We will win. I promise. I love you.

Just your friendly reminder that the Minneapolis City Council voted on resolution opposing the use of these weapons in December.

Mayor Frey did not sign it and it was not unanimously adopted by the council. Hold politicians accountable.

Neighbors are still being torn apart, and we have yet to hear back on a plan from Governor Walz.

We are asking the community to call his office and ask for an eviction moratorium. You can leave a voicemail here: 651-201-3400‬.

Folks, if you know any Minnesotan, you'll know that many of us will bring up Minnesota and Minnesota things at every possible opportunity. If we manage to ride out military occupation, we're going to be absolutely insufferable for the next 20 years. Think about what you're risking here.

It's worth reminding each other every couple days that every delay you create, every horrible opportunity you deter means someone gets home to their family, might even mean someones actual life is saved. All of it is worth it.

Really need to expand our concept of what state & local govt can do to protect people because the mass of non white residents of the twin cities—the large majority US citizens—have varying degrees of fear about leaving their homes and running into a glorified far right militia.

Hopefully people realize MPD and the National Guard will never be the ones to help us stop ICE. At the end of the day they will always side with them.
The Minneapolis Police Department has declared tonight’s protest outside a downtown hotel an unlawful assembly, calling it a public nuisance, and ordered the crowd to disperse. bit.ly/3Yu1KW3

Neighbors - you do not need anyone's permission to sound your whistle when you spot ICE. Nor do you need to attend a whistle training first. Here's everything you need to know.

Instead of standing up for immigrants who were impacted by ICE this week, @repangiecraig.bsky.social is supporting performative resolutions meant to divide the Democratic Party event further.

We haven’t forgotten your vote to strip due process away from immigrants. It’s the America you asked for.

That’s why I’m excited to announce that I’ll be bringing forward a proposal to formally establish a Democratic Socialist Caucus within the City Council — and I will be running to lead it.

Last week, 65,000+ residents voted to elect a democratic socialist mayor. All Council races that had a DSA-endorsed candidate won by overwhelming margin. These results send a clear message: people want leaders who will fight for working-class communities, not corporate interests.

Schumer chose 8 Senators not up for election in 2026 to take the sellout "deal". They're hiding.

The centrist Democratic leadership knows that the blue base hates these spineless cowards.

They hope that we forget by 2028 or 2030. That we won't kick them out.

Prove them wrong.

Hi Minnesotan Bluesky:

The DFL has a well-known transphobia problem. I'm organizing to change the party platform in 2026 to be explicitly supportive of trans people in Minnesota. This will provide a basis for expelling transphobia from our party.

Anyone doing analysis of this outcome and omitting racism is divorced from reality. And I don't think that's me coping. It's from having spent SO MANY hours listening to the All of MPLS people devise this exact plan to undermine him and living their underhandedness in real time in various ways.

Thank you, Minneapolis!

While this wasn’t the outcome we wanted, I am incredibly grateful to every single person who supported our grassroots campaign.

I’ll keep fighting alongside you to build the city we deserve. Onward.

no finger-pointing, no infighting. we lost the mayorship but there were lots of bright spots last night. we keep fighting for the change we want in this city and we will get it. get involved and be the change you want to see. that's what i'm trying to hold onto today.
