Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

It's costing $5000-$7500 to bond out folks from ICE detainment. Even if they're here on work visas and have no criminal records.
I've had 3 folks reach out about help with funds for this just today. And right now that's all happening thru friends, family, neighbors and direct mutual aid.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us.

The escalation is real and it's extreme
A U.S. Border Patrol agent kneed a man at least five times in the face while several other agents held him pinned facedown on the pavement in south Minneapolis on Friday, according to multiple witnesses who shared videos with the Reformer.

A neighbor was stopped and harassed by ICE while acting as a legal observer.
Next day she received a notice that her TSA pre check and global entry was revoked. No reasoning listed.

Amanda is reporting from my area. Keep listening to what she's sharing.
Minneapolis locals aren't holding back on their feelings as federal agents sow chaos in their neighborhoods. As reporter Amanda Moore points out in this video, they're saying Fuck you, Minnesota hates you, Go back to Texas, etc. etc.
Scenes of escalating violence, chaos, and resistance in Minneapolis.
Trump's militarized immigration crackdown is intensifying. We're documenting it on the ground.

I live and work and parent in Richfield. I can't really over state what it's like to experience this around you all the time. People are trying to just live their lives but we can't.
These men (99% of them) have sold their souls for a paycheck.
Their job is to intimidate, kidnap and terrorize.

I literally no longer know anyone of working age not almost exclusively shopping at Aldi. Not people making 6 figures. Not single people. Not two income families. No one.
Is it just me, or is it impossible to get groceries for 1-2 people without spending $100?
Like, unless you’re just getting a bunch of junk food I don’t see how that’s happening nowadays.
I do not get paid “spend $100+ on groceries every week” money, that’s for sure

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

Why would an online portal for unemployment benefits be only "open" limited hours. Make it make sense @dfl.org @governorwalz.mn.gov @ltgovflanagan.mn.gov
We don't have childcare bc I lost my job & can't afford it. So those are hours I'm with my kids. Let me do it at 5am or on a Saturday FFS.

I'm working through my stack of the last 3 months of medical bills for me and my kids. So many random lab tests and various bills. Almost every payment portal has an "I'm not a robot" or anti- auto entry functionality.
