Concentration camps are the defining issue in public health right now. Measles and TB outbreaks, healthcare being withheld as punishment for your race. It is not enough simply to turn the grants tap back on. To do so would make us the same as the Nazi scientists who discovered smoking causes cancer

They didn’t nominate “the city,” they nominated THE PEOPLE OF the city. The distinction matters, not least because “the city” seems to have forgotten that the whole damn metro area is resisting the occupation, which is something THE PEOPLE of Minneapolis are constantly reminding out-of-towners
The bravery, resilience and sacrifice of many in our city to protect and support vulnerable communities show the world Minneapolis’ values. We’re honored the city was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize – and it’s because of your courageous solidarity to promote democracy, human rights and peace.

This is just part of patrol. ICE threatens you, points guns at you, brutalizes or kills someone in front of you. Every day it's somebody new in our circle. We gather around them while they work through the stress and fear and then, to the person, they go back out.

My friends are so insanely brave.
Friend who's part of a neighborhood watch group says their car was just surrounded by ICE. Is fine but obviously rattled.

Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov tonight my kid and I escorted a teacher home so they didn’t get kidnapped by ICE.

Then I got home myself to find that my neighbor had *just* been stabbed by a man on the Aldine bridge. That man was holding a sign that said “Come legally or don’t come at all”

DO SOMETHING.

Council Members Warren, Shaffer, Whiting, Rainville, Vetaw, Palmisano just voted to try and delay the Council from even *considering* approving rental assistance for people until March 19th.

Apparently they don’t see the urgency of this moment. Thankfully that motion failed 6-7.
Watch this meeting to see which Council Members are actually trying to meet the moment and fight for their neighbors suffering under this ICE occupation. Some CMs have been parroting Trump talking points saying rental assistance is fraudulent and discriminatory.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

The reason "Abolish ICE" scares them so much is because it speaks to the power of political imagination. Our political imagination has been intentionally suppressed in favor of the stagnation and inertia of the short-term profit economy's political desires. This is existential as well as physical.

if i see you anywhere in Minnesota without your whistle visible you are immediately viewed by me as not a safe person.

i have no reason to believe you would step in to help me if you aren’t wearing the ONE tool that we know will cause dozens of people to immediately come to my aid!!!!!!

Not a judgment and IDK how you overcome it but...it's striking that every time a fresh national news story drops about ICE in the Twin Cities (ProPublica today), a lot of people respond with "Wow, I didn't realize it was that bad" and everyone in MN goes "Yes and it's a hundred times worse"
