For anyone wondering "why":

(1) joy is necessary

(2) injecting levity into what can be a long, tedious, and sometimes tense process makes people happy

(3) She deserves it

We had serious policy discussions within the subcaucus. People shared personal stories about what this means. And we had fun!

amazing old campaign imagery

#GiveIlhanOmarAGundam

as the official spokesperson of the SD62 Give Ilhan Omar a Gundam subcaucus, I would like you to know that this is specifically an effort to give Ilhan Omar a *Gundam.* Not a Jaeger, not a Voltron, not a Powerzord. a GUNDAM

the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light

i think we need to be very clear that forcing trans people to use documents with the wrong marker is a form of sexual humiliation, it’s sexual harassment from the state itself

every single time it gets laid bare for you, every single time you have a choice, to retreat into copaganda and cop hagiography (that you know to be false,) every single time you have a choice to move on from here when it is finally enough already.

3 months after losing the ward 10 city council election to aisha chughtai, lydia millard appears to no longer be the executive director of the stevens square community organization. her name and photo have been removed from the staff page: www.stevenssquare.org/board-1

The city has spent ~$5M above budget in the past month to deal with the occupation, with roughly $130k per day going to MPD overtime. So when mod CMs/the mayor tell you that we can’t afford rent relief, they’re telling you that they prefer to spend your tax dollars on this instead.

FRIDAY MORNING UPDATE:

Overnight, so many of our friends and neighbors contributed we were able to pay rent for TWO more households.

Now we have a large need. A multigenerational household needs $3500 for back rent and Feb. They’ve lost family to abduction and remaining members are unable to work.

Shaffer, looking for a friend, smiling and pointing at her pal Chavez: "Chavez, help me. What do we want to postpone this til?"

Chavez, not being a good friend: "today"

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

Chughtai, in wide eyed wonder at what she's hearing, responds to idea that the undeserving will exploit rental assistance: if you have income at the level of minimum wage, couldn't pay your rent for whatever reason, and you've been served an eviction notice, you're by definition a person in need.

from twitter - even struggling to pay their rent, la mama brought food down to b resale to give away at the alex pretti memorial 😭

some person named Uncommitted won against Klob in my precinct 30 - 7 tonight. hell yeah

delegate for sd62 + city convention, joined the arrangements committee, and gave a ride home to two neighbors 😎 (also got to vote for you to go to the county convention)

the good ppl of Minnesota really need to show up for caucus tomorrow, so we can abolish depraved ppl like Alicia Gibson from party leadership on state executive committee. so many of the worst ppl i have ever known are on this committee.

like this kid killer was: unicornriot.ninja/2026/key-min...

Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

never forget. never go back.

amir was killed by a use of force training officer while he slept. they shot him less than 10 seconds after they opened the door.

more training, body cams & middle of the night kidnappings wont fix the fascism from ICE or MPD. no matter what the governor & mayor say.

My friend, Senator @omarfatehmn.com, is running for re-election to continue repping South Minneapolis in the Minnesota State Senate!

In Fateh, we will always have a fighter ❤️‍🔥 join me in supporting his campaign: Fatehfor62.com

If you live in Senate District 62, show up & caucus for Fateh tomorrow!

i cannot deal with his fucking cruelty in posting shit like this while evictions are being filed. you have to be so completely depraved to watch this happen how dare you

You’re describing an emergency. The world is also watching you and waiting for you to do something.

Are you going to establish an eviction moratorium? Rent is due today.

A building at an intersection with two giant banners unfurled saying "ice out of mn" & "for good".

Wrecktangle Pizza here in Minneapolis is shouting it loud and proud! "ICE OUT OF MN" "FOR GOOD"

👀

I cannot stress enough to people who are not from Minneapolis that the news you have seen in the past week about things calming, and messaging from our electeds at *every level higher than City Council* that local agencies will protect us... That's all fucking LIES.

SHORT VERSION: If you’re feeling safe enough, we absolutely need you to show up for DFL precinct caucuses on February 3rd to help elect people at every level of government who will fight this federal occupation of Minnesota. Find your caucus: dfl.org/caucus/
