notice that angie craig did not contribute to the sd62 convention's interpretation services & accessibility yesterday?she has been trying to keep up with how strongly anti ICE voters are in running for US senate but this further shows it's all about optics when even small campaigns chip in

i’m at hennepin county government center for an emergency press conference & rally by inquilinxs unidxs por justicia demanding minneapolis city council override mayor frey’s veto of pause evictions, save lives to extend notice period from 30 to 60 days to help renters catch up after ICE occupation
Elevated from replies: As of last Saturday, Hennepin County no longer uses Emergency Assistance funds to cover missed-month rent or damage/security deposits. This is good PR by the mayor (who would normally lecture any leftie proposing a $1m transfer) but won’t meet need. bsky.app/profile/rmx....
The first bill out of the Trump administration was the Laken Riley Act. Only one Minnesota Democrat voted to support it.
Since then, the president has used it to separate families and detain thousands of people without due process. Nothing can undo the damage that has been done.
"It’s not hard to see why ICE has expanded its reach beyond the Twin Cities. The qualities that have hindered ICE’s operation in Minneapolis and St. Paul — density and walkability; a large, almost exclusively left-of-center population — are absent here."

right wingers have been very mad at rep brad tabke for openly helping ICE resistance and everything they share just makes him look cool as hell
and don’t forget he won this seat by only 14 votes!
Ending this operation is not enough.
We need justice and accountability. That starts with independent investigations into the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, economic restitution for businesses impacted, abolishing ICE, and the impeachment of Kristi Noem.
It ain’t over til Minnesota has ICE’s battle flag
For health care workers, going to work means an onslaught of fear and anxiety with ICE agents present.
“What will happen to us?" one health care worker said. "That is my question every single night before going to bed. It really affects me mentally and emotionally. This is like a nightmare.”
They crush the local economy, deplete city budgets, illegally withhold congressionally allocated funds. In exchange we get masked Texans running wild in the streets, paid for with tax money that was supposed to be used on our healthcare. Thank you to our federal partners.

AI-enhanced and manipulated images are a new obstacle in the court of public opinion. Their proliferation online is eroding trust and inflaming divisions.
Always great to see you, Conrad! It's KevinChavis.org and would appreciate your support as well as any thoughts you have on improving local government!
Peace,

Alex Pretti's younger sister issued a statement Monday memorializing her big brother’s kindness and criticizing “disgusting lies” told in the wake of his death.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was killed by a federal officer in Minneapolis. Family members say he was an intensive care nurse at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital who cared deeply about people and was upset by President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in his city.
A number of sites in the Twin Cities have closed or announced shelter-in-place orders after a 37-year-old man was shot and killed by federal immigration officers on Saturday in Minneapolis near 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue.
Abolish ICE is now the moderate minimum position,
Prosecute ICE is where Dems should be at next.
ICE executed another person in our City this morning on video. The video shows to me multiple agents beating on someone already on the ground and then these masked thugs decide to shoot multiple shots into someone who is already defenseless. Another murder in Minneapolis at the hands of the federal government. ICE needs to leave our City, and then be abolished immediately.
