Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance.
They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along.
They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

I'm proud to have froze my ass off all weekend support our neighbors.
it is -10 here today. I was supposed to go do a volunteer shift standing outside loading groceries into people’s cars to deliver to families stuck at home. just got a call not to come in because they have too many volunteers already. if you were wondering if the cold would stop us.

Hell yeah! Forever grateful for the AIM patrols in 2020.
Saw these guys trailing an ICE convoy and chasing it off Lake Street and the juxtaposition really took my breath away.
Half a century ago, the American Indian Movement (AIM) was founded on Franklin Ave. in Minneapolis in response to police violence targeting indigenous residents.
Today, as ICE invades the city, AIM patrols are back, watching over elders, youths and aunties along the same avenue.
