We all are losing it! I’m sure it’s fine!
Mpls Ward 11 get on your council member about this.
Hard.
Wards 7 & 5 keep after yours as well.
Pick it up & don’t let them have peace about this.
Final vote is this Thursday, March 5, 2026.
landlords are going to show up tomorrow, it is critical that regular folks do too.

It's March 1st, and rent is due. Unfortunately, many families have lost income due to the federal occupation of Minneapolis and need assistance.
We can help our neighbors! Take 2 minutes to email your legislators and ask them to support Pause Evictions, Save Lives: actionnetwork.org/letters/paus...
I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children.
From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.
should be obvious to even the the densest observer that 'our' politicians work for the highest bidder & the current historical moment is what you get when that highest bidder is a genocidal ethnostate
Minnesota right now is both incredibly strong at the neighborhood and community level and absolutely beat to all hell. And kind of broke. People are close to eviction and other people are digging deep to help them.
Cutting off Medicaid to this deeply hurting population is so cruel and vengeful.
It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.
They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
The Supreme Court has decided to hear a major climate case against fossil fuel companies
Alito has not recused himself, despite owning nearly $200,000 in fossil fuel stocks—including in Phillips 66 and ConocoPhillips, which are being sued in cases that would be directly affected by a SCOTUS ruling
This is where immigration enforcement has been happening.
This is why my neighbors haven’t left home in 2 months.
ICE out, everywhere. A “drawdown” to 900+ is not enough.
Today, in honour of WEB DuBois's birthday in 1868, the @publicdomainrev.bsky.social features the hand-drawn infographics DuBois made with his students to depict the conditions of African-American life in 1900.
Arts-based pedagogy all those years ago!

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
Jacob: increases police size and budget every year for 8 years, no safeguards for OT abuse or lawsuits eating city funds
Council: we thought those were bad ideas, but we are where we are, can we do something about this crisis today?
Jacob: help my city budget it's dying because the council
🥰 I'd love to see this get to 10K over the weekend. ❤️
Thanks everybody. You beautiful sexy Minnesotans!
The next step to abolishing ICE and DHS: divestment campaign from CoreCivic and GEO Group. No profiteering from human cruelty.
hey folks, it's my turn this week to fund&get groceries for a 12-member household in SE Minneapolis w/several young children. 2 of their 3 income earners have been abducted by ICE. our median cost/week has been about $300.

ok, we need to seriously talk about the work MPS teachers are doing in this moment, rn. we can’t even get a student day off (2/17) to turn into a teacher work day.
meanwhile, the thugs w/ guns, Minneapolis Police Department, keeps racking those millions of taxpayer dollars.
who keeps who safe?
To bring it home again to how the Palestinian genocide is only as distant from you as you want, you can talk to a Palestinian who knows people who've actually been evaporated whenever you want. The crowdfunders that annoy you in Gaza do. They can give you testimony. And you can easily help them.
I can personally vouch for this fund run by (among many others) my neighbor! In a 2-block radius sense even, not just the broader namesake sense. We have requests in from hundreds of families! gofund.me/bfdfc3d85
Outstanding thread.
Another addition to the website to help us built *systems* and not just have me trying to do everything alone:
If you'd like to adopt a rent that you can either *cover immediately* and fundraise for, or just pay outright, please fill out this form and we will contact you via Signal.
Anne Frank died from a typhus epidemic that spread through the concentration camp where she was imprisoned.
Doing art badly is good and sacred
“Where the GOP learned to lie as a matter of course is an interesting question, and I’m afraid I’ve had a front row seat. I think it’s the climate fight, more than anything else, that taught them to regard reality as optional.”
Read @billmckibben.bsky.social on how we reached this moment
67% of the homicides in Minneapolis and 50% of the homicides in all of Minnesota this year have been committed by federal agents.
Read that again.
Interestingly, what is typically the most “safe” mutual aid work—like delivering food to people in need—is now the most necessarily secretive, while that which is typically “risky”—directly confronting armed agents of the state—is unavoidably public and open.
The measles outbreak in the Dilley Detention facility will disable and kill children.
It’s not a flaw or an accident.
This is the system working as intended.
Fascism and eugenics go hand in hand.
They want the “others” to die.
Disease spread is a tool of the colonizer.
It’s day 62 of the ICE occupation of MSP.
Get out there and shovel your immigrant neighbor’s sidewalks- it’s a great way to help a neighbor in hiding, and you can watch out for ICE in your neighborhood at the same time!
