It’s Day 18 of the ICE occupation of the Twin Cities.
As we approach the weekend, here’s the work:
Continue to organize your neighborhood, building, work, or block to resist ICE.
Spend some money this weekend at immigrant owned businesses.
Help someone new connect to neighborhood networks.

On 12/1 the federal gov't began ‘Operation Metro Surge’ — deploying ICE to Minneapolis, St. Paul & the surrounding suburbs.
For the last two weeks, Somali, Latinx & other immigrant communities have faced harassment, intimidation, and the constant threat of abduction, detention and deportation. (2/4)

Twin Cities folks: I cannot stress this enough... if you have capacity, PLEASE get plugged into local organizing efforts.
Resistance and community care comes in all forms and I promise you there's something you can do to help.
DM me if you need help getting connected.

If you are in the twin cities, you can do these things:
Listen to and broadcast impacted people's asks.
Connect with organizers in impacted communities.
If you're not on Signal, here's a guide. And if you're not, don't broadcast.

You're fired up, but we haven't called the strike yet...what to do?!
Channel that energy toward getting ready by nourishing the connections that will sustain you during a strike, getting the word out, or creating your strike plan - what other ways can you think of? We'd love to hear them!!

Important quote: “they were treating us exactly as they would treat BoP prisoners, and they told us that.”
We need prison abolition. Detainment conditions right now aren’t new, they didn’t just appear in November. Activists have been calling for abolition for a long time. And this is why.

There is some chatter about how we shouldn't deter anyone from organizing a general strike. That's 100% true, and we are interested in learning from or collaborating with any other group who is working on making this happen. But there are issues with just setting a (very close) date. 🧵

this is still happening today!! we’ll also have a limited amount of masks since the AQI is so bad
Pop up from Mask Bloc MSP for rapid action Covid tests that expire 7/17/25! Come get some tests at the corner or Nicollet Mall and 9th st by the target store to give to people before they expire. We will have cold water available for people passing through (1/2)

Piling on a man who is screaming for help is unacceptable.
Make no mistake that this brutality is not "public safety" as several news outlets are framing it.
We can come up with solutions for public safety that don't involve killing people in crisis.
Nothing justifies this.
Enough is enough.

Potential death due to police tactics:
There’s footage on Instagram of what appears to be an unhoused person in Haverhill, MA with several police on top of him and he’s yelling for help and then … CPR and he’s dead
Like it looks like George Floyd, folks

Sick of ICE? Us too! Let's tell them!
![I.C.E. OUT OF THE COURTS
Press Conference + Rally
[image of an ICE badge crossed out and a judicial gavel]
Every day in Minnesota, immigrants are having their court cases dismissed by judges and the DOJ who all work for Trump. MIRAC members have witnessed how without fail, after every one of these dismissals, our immigrant neighbors are being kidnapped by ICE in the courthouse to be deported without due process. Join us to say this must end now!
MIRAC - Minnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee
🗓️ Date: Monday, July 14th
🕕 Time: 12:30PM
🗺️ Location: Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building [1 Federal Dr. Ft Snelling, MN 55111]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wukih32i4vlgymos7o54jy7f/bafkreifuxw6ro44263kfnzogy7ckhylsktszrxjczgxjgyxo6r3we3oxku@jpeg)

They fear our power because it doesn’t beg it organizes. We don’t strike just to protest, we strike to build the world we deserve. Every step we take, every action we plan, brings us closer to seizing what’s been stolen from the people. Build power. Strike back. #GeneralStrikeUS #Strikeback

Why did you pick the one thing that obviously doesn’t apply to you. Do what you can, is the point. Watch someone’s pet while they protest even. It’s a community pulling together to support each other through this, that’s all.
