Got this via email yesterday from the American Association of University Professors:
"Due to the extreme cold forecast for Friday, march organizers have announced that the march will begin at 2pm in The Commons, in downtown Minneapolis, and march 1 mile to an indoor rally at the Target Center."

I think it’s good for us to remember the moments of fascists losing when they attack winter people. It’s also true that Minnesota betrayed and ravaged Anishinaabe and Dakota people in the winter, and we should remember and honor them because they were right, even if Minnesota “won.”

This is why you hear Minnesotans talk about being on the front line.
What we mean is some people are patrolling, risking serious harm following ICE in vehicles.
Others are delivering food and medicine to people hiding in their homes. You can’t do both.

A thing that might not be clear from the outside is that while everyone here is engaged in this fight, ICE’s use of dystopian technology means that you essentially have to pick a lane between observing ICE and doing mutual aid. They are tracking observers’ cars, and taking pictures of their faces.

There’s something about the fact that we got amber alerts on our phones for a white 7yo who was kidnapped and now she’s home. He won’t get an amber alert. We know who took this 5yo and where he is, and there’s no path home for him.
(I’m glad the 7yo is home. I just think all kids deserve safety.)

KNOW US.
I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

I could give like a three hour lecture on the history of radical organizing in Minneapolis. Scandinavian populism, the truck strikes, the Black and brown power movements, American Indian Movement, the Farmer Labor party…
but the long story short: we are built different because we built different.

I joined agriculture leaders from across the state today in Mankato for the Minnesota Ag Expo. Minnesota farmers are the backbone of our economy, and we must ensure they have what they need to thrive—strong markets and stable trade policies.

Okay.
Liam Ramos is five.
Taken from his father after school.
His family didn’t know where he was for 24 hours.
He’s NOW in a federal detention facility in Texas.
At least one other student is there too.
Two other elementary school students were taken and the school doesn’t know where they are.
