We're hearing that Dems may be caving on the government shut-down fight. Call Senators NOW and tell them to hold strong and not give up their negotiating leverage. Please USE YOUR VOICE on this important issue!

Senator Klobuchar: 202-224-3244

Senator Smith: 202-224-5641
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

For the record, when I put this chant on the No Kings Day chant list back in June, I wrote *fascist ICE*. Somewhere along the way, it got censored.
Proud of the Rapid Response To Kristi Noem's press conference in Minnesota yesterday. 🐸

1,500 protestors showed up outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Building to greet her. ✊🏼

Chanting: "No more Minnesota nice, we don't want your dirty ICE." 🧊

Minnesota kicks ass, every time. Thanks to all who showed up to tell Noem to go home!
RAPID RESONSE RECAP:
With only 22 hours lead time, over 1000 dedicated protestors gathered at the Bishop Henry Whipple building, forcing Kristi Noem's motorcade to sneak in the back just before 4pm, and speed off shortly after 5pm.

Once again, as with Vance and Hegseth, Minnesota shows up.

The DHS's Facebook page is fucking nauseating.

Love this photo. Thanks to everyone who showed up - you made history!
No Kings in Downtown Minneapolis:

As of yesterday, no SNAP benefits will be paid in Minnesota for the remainder of October. No new cases or renewals will be approved. If the shutdown continues, it will affect benefits in November as well.

The death cult in charge of Washington is getting their wish.

We had 25 to 30 people at ICE HQ yesterday morning. We need double, triple, ten times as many, please. The new KKK needs to know how many are opposed to their existence.
Every Wednesday morning, we stand against legalized terror at ICE HQ - 1 Federal Drive in Minneapolis.

Follow "No More MNICE" on Facebook for details and instructions on protesting this abhorrent agency, as well as respectfully observing court cases post-protest.

Pete Hegseth is in our backyard.
The man who’s politicized the military and stripped dignity from those who served. Minnesota will not be a rest stop for fascism. The Secretary of War deserves no peace.

A small group of brave souls protested Turning Point USA's noxious tribute to Charlie Kirk at the U tonight. To the few on the right side of history, thank you for showing up.

With all this talk of political violence, my hot take is the "big beautiful bill" IS political violence. Deaths that will result from it were clearly known ahead of time. It's premeditated, and every single Republican legislator is complicit.

How do we welcome him?

Is the New Black Panther Party still active in Minnesota? I'd be interested in connecting with them.

EMERGENCY PROTEST - MN STATE CAPITOL AT 6:30PM TONIGHT

We cannot do nothing as the military forcibly takes the DC unhoused population out of the city, from the only safety nets they may have, to do God knows what with them. Join us, tonight, at 6:30.
