Had some leftover butternut squash so I roasted it with some herbs and spices (no garlic! Imagine that!), then drizzled a lemon thyme butter over it
Long story short, our dog apparently loves squash 🧡

For local folks, it's worth noting that it says "Members of Inquilinxs Unidxs por Justicia (Renters United for Justice), South Minneapolis Tenant Union, and tenants across Minneapolis and Saint Paul have launched the Twin Cities Tenant Union (TCTU)."
BREAKING: Tenants across Minneapolis and Saint Paul have just launched a Twin Cities tenant union, citing the fact that their cities are under siege, and saying they need to band together to protect one another.

Listen to this mother, and her horror at being separated from her husband.
The ask in the gofundme is a small one. I hope you’ll join me in contributing. Let’s bring her husband home.

People keep talking about how decentralized the resistance is in MN, and yes there is no singular figure, committee, or group coordinating all things. That's very different than there being no structures (plural), groups (plural), or leaders (plural) keeping things going and building things further.

Just to be blunt, there are a lot of folks who realized yesterday that surveillance is bad and many are suggesting well-intentioned but misguided strategies for fighting it

“Agents can identify people on the street through facial recognition, trace their movements through license-plate readers and, in some cases, use commercially available phone-location data to reconstruct daily routines and associations.” All surveillance tools people have pushed back on for ages…

I visited hotels all over Minneapolis, went into back rooms & talked to the staff.
They're afraid.
One told me she resents how her undocumented coworkers spend their days cleaning the rooms of agents who are “hunting down their family members.”

A father with a heart condition was kidnapped by ICE at McDonalds in MN. The family is asking for help with legal fees, bond requests, & rent assistance.
An ICE agent smirked at the son when he went to drop off the medicine for his father. We need to bring him back home ASAP.

Arresting Black journalists is also vice signaling. Their base is racist and hates journalists and they want to get them excited again. The mainstream media industry has never protected Black journalists or journalists of color the way it should.

And SO MANY breweries/bars in MSP sprung into action. No strength in numbers for fear of MAGA wrath, no timid press releases about how fascism may be just a *smidge* bad for business. Just some social media posts that told ICE to eat shit, then quick pivots to whatever their neighborhoods needed:
Closures seems to have hit most everyone at some point, whether it’s weather, staffing, or the general strike against ICE. One positive is seeing several breweries speak up and become community hubs for collecting donations of funds, food, and household goods. They’ve done this work before.
