Our neighbors are driving kids to school because their parents are afraid to leave the house. We're bringing them groceries. Normal life has completely stopped for a ton of people in the city
This is what I heard checking in on friends yesterday. People are in hiding, or aren’t but are agonizing over whether they should be, or are trying to reassure terrified parents who want them to be

The scale of this doesn’t seem to be known to even newshound NYC friends w/o Minneapolis connections

Incredible @statuscoupnews.bsky.social interview with Skye, who says she’s a Marine Corps vet and appears to have just been released from Whipple. She says she was trapped by ICE, yanked out of her car and stomped on.

Please understand this is happening in literally dozens of locations around the city simultaneously. If an ICE vehicle stops, community members materialize in seconds and do everything they can to stop the kidnappings. We are under siege and using every tool to fight back.
430k of us vs. 2k of them, we're gonna win this

The shortage of primary care doctors is a national problem. To cope, a large health system in Massachusetts is using an improv comedy group to screen patients and refer them to other care

you say "i asked chatgpt"
i hear "i asked [an improv comedy group]"

an improv group wrote this report
instead of a therapist i use an improv comedy group
chatgpt is much like an improv comedy group

1) you are the audience, giving it prompts
2) it produces things roughly shaped like your prompt
3) it is trained to respond with Yes, And
4) it has the factual accuracy of improv
5) it does not understand comedy

it is not better today. it is worse.

friends in federal detention for observing. friends maced and attacked. friends in car chases with ICE.

please keep your eyes open and keep listening and taking whatever action you can.
if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed.

everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

Just be aware you WILL be tracked by license plate readers and/or other means, if you are concerned about it. There are multiple Flock cameras at the most popular protest site in our area, undoubtedly aimed at the protest and at license plates of people attending the protest.

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

AIM - the American Indian Movement, perhaps most famous for the 19 mo occupation of Alcatraz - was started in Minneapolis in the 1960s.
I don’t think folks appreciate enough that the reason Minneapolis was prepared for this moment is because of all the organizing from (and before) Black Lives Matter.

The people showing up now have showed up for a long time. And they have no intentions of stopping.
