May life be more like the humble rutabaga: simple, substantial, with a flavor more peppery than you'd expect.

Really focus your attention on Minneapolis. This is what they want in every metro in America. If we can’t hand them a humiliating defeat now, your town will be in line. The stakes could not be any higher but my city is standing defiantly in the face of fascism. I’m so fucking proud.

The injunction certainly won’t make anything worse, but I’m just saying without explicitly defining the line between protest and obstruction, it’s still at the discretion of ICE to determine what that is. Anyone who’s been here in the last week knows that includes saying mean things and driving.

Yes. Do you know how many families are being supported by their neighbors right now? Families afraid to leave home being fed by their neighborhoods; immigrant communities feeding the old hippies standing on their street corners with whistles in 10-degree snowstorms. They cannot break us
Is everyone in MN a hero?

To my brave Minneapolis neighbors: these ICE boys merely adopted the cold. We were born in it. Raised by it. Don't be intimidated by the weather tonight. Throw on a base layer and some mittens and keep your neighbors safe. Let the fire in your heart keep you warm. You are an ice giant.

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.

They want us to be afraid. Terrorists.
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

We need each other more than ever. If you’re not already in one, join a mutual aid network. Action starts with raising your hand. Even if you just join and do nothing else, knowledge and camaraderie are paramount. We have to protect our neighbors. Lead with love in these dark times.

I wouldn't have believed you if you told me 20 years ago that Minneapolis would be the location of not just one but a continuous string of nation-rattling horrors that led to national and global movements of civil disobedience.

After the assassination of Melissa Hortman it’s not hard to understand why a woman in Minnesota would be afraid of a man in a mask who says he’s a cop.

Basic media literacy: there are multiple clips out there showing this shooting, mostly up close and unobstructed (except by the car itself). Trump’s social media post includes a clip from far away, through trees, and slowed to super slow motion.
Those are *choices*
