Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet.

But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...
ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed.

If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

Lucy is cranky and SO VOCAL and prone to making messes in her old age. I love her anyway. Also pictured: my 9 year old's beloved stuffed turkey, Terry.

We have a 2020 Chevy Bolt and LOVE it... having said that, the electrical work for our South Minneapolis garage was $$$. We had to re-wire the whole thing AND get a new wire down from the pole so as to avoid digging a trench through our backyard from the house. So... get quotes on that too.

let me start an entirely inconsequential debate: are patios ALWAYS on the back of your place, vs. are porches ALWAYS on the front?

Like if I say "i'm on my porch," I 100% mean I'm on the front of my place, if I say "I'm on my patio" I think I could credibly be in front or behind (but mostly behind)

A few neighbors have sent their kids there and had positive experiences. I unfortunately have no additional or more helpful details.

Their food is really good. As an added bonus.

We went on a date night a few years back and I am happy to report that their food is amazing. And really great cocktails too.

Don’t believe anyone who says there has been a “pause”, a “drawdown”, a “change in tone”, a “shift in policy”. It’s all PR.

Since Alex Pretti was murdered, Bovino was fired, and Homan was installed, ICE/CBP presence in Minnesota has swelled from 3,000 to over 4,000 agents today. (2/7)

ICE agents tried to quietly get Mexican food in Minneapolis, local neighbors and protesters found out and shamed then out of the neighborhood!

This week, my illegally detained neighbor -- an asylum seeker with a wife and two children -- will have a hearing that gives him a chance to get home to his family and get his asylum case back on track. But he will need to pay a $6000 bond.

It didn't take very long for it to seem entirely reasonable for a mom to hide her identity while speaking to reporters in order to protect her child's school from being targeted by the secret police.

More great video from yesterday’s unity ride in Minneapolis, from Recovery Bike Shop.

This one has a clip of our city council president, @elliottpayne.org , corking an intersection to keep other riders safe.

Minneapolis is a special place.

It is both impressive & *absurd* how much money average middle class Minnesotans are scrounging together to pay our neighbors’ rent so they aren’t made homeless during a federal occupation (in winter) where they can’t work & need to shelter in place to stay safe from abduction and abuse.
I think if regular folks are donating hundreds of dollars to mutual aid in the span of a few weeks, then landlords could maybe have a heart and not evict vulnerable families in this time of extraordinary crisis

We know that 4more children from Liam's school are still in ICE custody in TX. But we still do not know how many children from MN in total have been detained by ICE.

For obvious reasons I am thinking about a lot lately about how Krispy Kreme was giving donuts to people who got vaccinated and when people mocked them for it their response was basically "We use what we have to encourage it. What we have is donuts, so we are using those"

We use what we have.

So much coverage focuses on the guns and tear gas and filmed confrontations and it IS all that. I don't want to downplay anything.

But it's also NOT JUST that, you know? The fear and violence and community action is also present in the most placid-seeming corners of town. As in any occupation.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
