Ironic, since Frey shouted “fuck” and got a bunch of national media interviews, but has done fuck-all since.
In the Skyway 20 minutes after an ice abduction, mayor Frey walks through the government center. A lady yells at him "what are you doing to stop this? Fuck you." He responds, "is that helpful?" With a smirk on his face.

was talking to the banker at the credit union, he said that a lot of folks have been in to move funds around for mutual aid & that our collective care runs deep in the twin cities ❤️🔥 he also said that his young kid learned “F ICE” then “FUCK ICE” (fine in this context, he said LOL)

It’s hard to overstate how mainstream defiance of the federal occupation of Minnesota is. This is from 5:00 yesterday at 50th and France. 50th and France! Minnesotans aren’t having this.

Dreamt that a friend got Beyonce for perform for my birthday at my home

This is my dumb-ass county
A county jail in Minnesota that's cooperating with ICE because it's so profitable apparently isn't getting paid yet.
"The county is also paid more for housing ICE detainees. So far, it's roughly $300,000 but so far the county has not been paid."

We aren’t resting until ICE is out of MN. We aren’t stopping until ICE is completely abolished. They want us to bend the knee so they can continue separating families, but we won’t be doing that. We’re going to win, and it’s bc of the resiliency of our neighbors.

Minneapolis council member Chavez: We are not going to rest until ICE operation ends
While DHS said that it removed about 700 agents from the 3,000 that were in the state last week, Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez says he hasn’t seen much change on the ground.

Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.
