Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 31 health workers and wounded 51 more in Lebanon this month, illustrating the intensity of the conflict and the strain on a health system caring for over 2,000 injured civilians.
It’s day 98 of the ICE occupation of MN.
For almost 100 days, we’ve been doing everything we can to protect our immigrant neighbors. This is the next step to keeping our neighbors safe.
Call on Mayor Frey to sign the 60 day pre-eviction notice.
A veto of the 60-day pre-eviction notice tells people that you want them evicted into the cold earlier and that you’re unwilling to protect our immigrant neighbors.
Let Mayor Frey know you want him to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives.

GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA
federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL
tell everyone you know

Would be amazing if we could get some non-Minnesotan neighbors plugged in here. Minnesotans have majorly overextended themselves paying their neighbor's rents and we know there is more capacity to chip in from outside the state.
Please take the time to do this! The useless mayor must be reminded that people want him to do the right thing for once.
It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow
It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker
This was never about woman's sports
The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board is suspending evictions for its rental properties in response to the ICE surge.
It's the first local government body in Minnesota to enact a rent moratorium because of immigration enforcement.
Dear neighbor, I am proud of you and our immigrant residents. Your resiliency, strength, and dedication have led to the announcement that “Operation Metro Surge” will end soon. It’s clear that the commitment of our neighbors made it untenable for ICE and federal agents to continue to operate its occupation of our city and state. This isn’t as a result of capitulation from elected leaders. This victory is yours, but we must not stop until ICE is completely abolished, and no more families are ever separated again. I will forever be thankful to those who patrolled, observed, and supported our community with mutual aid and daily tasks during these horrific times. Our community is full of heroes who will always be remembered as caring and loving. There are no words to show how thankful I am of every single one of you who showed up day in and day out. I hope you’ll join me in continuing to carry the whistle of resistance as our work is not done. I am still asking the community to remain cautious and vigilant until we can confirm what this truly means. They said they are not backing down from mass deportation but will be ending the operation in Minnesota soon. I recommend you continue your current plan until we can give you more information. We still need observers and the community to be on the lookout. These “draw-downs” are expected to continue through next week, which means we will still need help now and in the future. Additionally, we must never forget what they did to our neighbors and loved ones. They murdered Renee Good and Alex Pretti, shot Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in the leg, and kidnapped Victor Manuel Diaz, who then died under ICE custody. We are still mourning, demanding justice, and we will never forget. They targeted our immigrant neighbors and children, discriminated against our community based on skin color and accents, lobbed weapons of war on our parks, and completely shattered families who simply wanted to work, take their kids to schools, and

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.
I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

North Minneapolis is resilient. They have been rallying together to support one another in a completely grassroots and community-led effort to keep one another safe.
They asked me to share this hoping to prevent the displacement of more families in North Minneapolis.

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming
This is the gofundme for Alberto Castañeda Mondragón, who suffered multiple skull fractures at the hands of ice officers and then shackled to the bed while being treated at HCMC (against the wishes of hospital staff)
Here is an article that mentions it

🚨BREAKING: Local Minneapolis police SWARM ICE protesters making mass arrests in front of ICE prison. One protesters forehead is gushing blood ⬇️
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
A racist screenshot of Michelle and Barack Obama
Last night, Trump posted a video to his social media platform that contained a racist clip showing Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys. It's still up:
Two Venezuelan men who were charged with assaulting a federal immigration agent in the north Minneapolis ICE shooting last month were re-detained after a judge ordered them to be released on Tuesday.
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.
A federal judge ordered the release of two Venezuelan men accused of assaulting a federal immigration officer last month outside a north Minneapolis duplex.
But they never made it outside the St. Paul courthouse. ICE detained them again, without explanation, after the hearing.
It’s day 64 of the ICE occupation of MSP.
Today ICE officers once again arrested observers at gunpoint, caused lockdowns of neighborhood schools, and harassed people on the street simply for their skin color.
Nothing has changed, despite the rhetoric from “leaders.”
1/ BREAKING: Government documents reviewed by ProPublica identify Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa, 43, and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez, 35, as the two who fired their weapons during the deadly encounter with Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
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.
Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com
40 people in a Target store sit in, with ICE Out now sign, righteously claiming their space and leadership, demanding Target corporation speak out against ICE.
Bright pink sign, handwritten letters- Target Stand with Minnesota
Target called the police on peaceful Minnesotans today, telling us we were on private property.
But when ICE comes to brutalize and abduct people in their stores, Target says it’s public space and can’t stop it.
Target needs to decide - do they stand with Minnesotans, or masked abductors? #ICEOut
Today I saw ICE gas little white kids in the streets of Portland with chemical weapons. Imagine what they're doing to brown and black kids in the detention camps

if you feel like passing around a link today and helping fundraise for rent that will actually get paid today (and in the next few days for families who have a grace period) you can send here.
we will be going hard all day. i won’t be posting about it because I don’t want to flood your feeds.
Whatever we’re doing, it’s not enough.
