Sending ‘Jack Nicholson at the end of The Shining’ energy to all the ICE chuds
We've lead charmed weather lives so far in January.
Temperatures are +5F to +10F across MN so far this month. 🌡️
We're about to be reminded what persistent cold and occasional snow feels like. ❄️
MSP could bottom out -10 to -20 next Tue.

I actually listened to a bit and now I’m even more pissed. We’re not “unaware” of how men escalate things to violence, you septic pisshole. We’re so goddamn used to violence from men that at some point, we will risk you shooting us in the face if it means we get to drag you to Hell with us.

Happy Deductible Reset January to those who (don't) celebrate it!
Poor @totallydonna.kitrocha.com has one (1) biologic that costs $3,800. We are trying to scrounge up money to pay for it!
That means 20% off sale in the shop! (even on new things!)

Among perpetrators of violence, there is a very small share who are independently motivated to violence. But the vast majority of perpetrators commit violence to seek approval and status from others.
This is particularly true among men who use violence to affirm their masculinity.

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

Someone said to me yesterday: "But they have already established full-blown autocracy in Minneapolis." I don't think that's true! Wherever ICE shows up, people come together to document, bear witness, push back. That is not totalitarian control - that is societal resistance hardening.

police is gonna be 'neutral' during bank robbery next? or is it only fascists that get to break the law?
There is no "neutral" when a man is being assaulted by the gestapo. This is why so many of us scream when we see suggestions to call 911 when ICE is spotted. Local police will not help us.
Fitchburg police said they were neutral during an ICE arrest. Onlookers and federal agents saw it differently
An ICE arrest of a mother in Fitchburg highlights the delicate balance local police say they’ve had to strike when responding to immigration enforcement actions. Often times, that leaves officers open...

it shouldn’t be surprising, but it still is, when major news outlets, even as they report about MN suing the government for this ICE invasion refuse to mention:
-ICE going into homes without warrants
-Randomly stopping people based on skin color
-Detaining citizens
-Harassing schools and churches

I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder.
Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.

This is the best thing I think I’ve ever heard & I’ve gotten good news after a tumor removal so…
It's so real.
I am helping a church pull together a community meeting about preparing for ICE and everyone I'm reaching out to "yes-ands" me.
I am 40 and I have spent my entire adult life organizing, and I have literally never experienced this before. It's wild.
People are DONE.

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

“Why doesn’t everyone in MN just stay home & refuse to work until ICE leaves?”
Really? Nurses & doctors? Nursing home staff? Sewage treatment folks? Fire fighters & EMTs? All of them? What about pharmacies being closed? What happens when someone runs out of formula for their baby?

Honestly cannot fix this for my family by myself, which is why I’m asking for help. It’s super important for them to fully pay the rent because the longer the delay, the higher the chance of eviction. Housing security is necessary for any kind of stability.
I spent this morning thanking people for donating to our crisis. Which is still ongoing. We've raised about ~$200/$900. This will help a little, but we do need more help. Please any assistance is beyond appreciated. Any repost, donations and even well wishes.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.
