We know what's happening here in the Twin Cities is happening across the entire US—and to a far greater extent, in Gaza too.

The support we've seen arise out of this moment inspires us to hope for a safer and more loving world for everyone, everywhere. Thank you for joining us in solidarity. ⚡💚

The amount of free time we used to dedicate to Paranoid Tree has whittled away since ICE invaded us in early December. We've been marching, delivering groceries to our neighbors, handing out hot soup, and watching each other's backs. And too many of our thoughts are occupied by grief and rage.

Alternatively, consider joining Paranoid Tree in donating to these organizations that provide food, safety, and legal support to our communities across Minnesota.

Ask #2: If you have any spare change in your Venmo pockets, please consider donating to a community relief effort here in Minneapolis.

This is one of the most comprehensive resource lists out there: standwithminnesota.com

If you can't pick one, just close your eyes and point. You can't go wrong.

Also: We were so stoked that the SubClub newsletter gave us a shoutout the other week. It led to an influx of over 2x more submissions than we normally get in a month—and we are genuinely excited to read this wealth of writing!!

We are running behind, but we're gonna catch up ASAP, promise. 💕

Ask #1: If you are waiting on a response to a submission, please give us a little extra patience right now. 💌

Our team had planned to meet today to catch up on our queue. But due to the murder of Alex Pretti yesterday, mere blocks from our own homes, we need to take a beat to process and grieve.

To organize local news events we are counting days since Dec. 2, regarded as the beginning of what fed authorities call “Operation Metro Surge.”
The “Twin Cities Metro Activity Dashboard” page shows updates re police activity. It has ~1300 data points.

OMG so psyched for you!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

We’re so excited too!! 🧡💕

The honor is all ours!! 💕💕
