If you're wondering whether I said something in earnest, I DID. Minneapolis antifascist & abolitionist. Parent, neighbor, queer. He/him. Fuck the police. Angrily spreading joy.

A few months ago, I FINALLY read this short fiction from our local SF&F author (among other things) Naomi Kritzer (@naomikritzer.bsky.social). It's a post-disaster story, but in the vein of Hope Punk & Solar Punk.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.
I don’t let bullies win.
Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Reupping this quote from AOC from a year ago in light of the Republicans that are shocked, SHOCKED at what ICE is doing.
Later when they say they had no idea Trump was going to do (bad thing), they did.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, House Floor, January 22, 2025:
When a private prison camp opens in your town, and they say we didn’t know this was going to happen, know that they did, and they voted for it.

There is a TON of ICE activity in Seward right now, often by schools. If you can, connect with your neighbors and suit up. It's COLD out there.
This morning, within the last half hour, a neighbor reported being part of a group that observed a suspected ICE vehicle idling at a school bus stop. Neighbors were present and visible, and blowing whistles, and the vehicle departed. 1/2

The STATE should be delivering food, and should be protecting us. The STATE should be making sure families have laptops and reliable internet for remote learning and should be preventing evictions. The STATE should be driving neighbors to appointments, and be out in the streets. WE ARE THE STATE.

This is Minneapolis:
A neighbor sold some silver jewelry she inherited from her grandparents to cover rent for a neighbor who hasn't been able to work during these 7 weeks of federal occupation and is at risk of eviction.
We need an eviction moratorium NOW.
And resources for food delivery.

Eviction Moratorium
We need an EVICTION MORATORIUM NOW.
Our neighbors risk being separated from their families when they go to work. They also run the risk of being displaced if they don’t.
Sadly, Mayor Frey refused to sign the resolution calling on the Governor to enact this moratorium.

Yup. This shit has worked so well in the past! Why not perpetuate the violence of the past and present into the future, adding the thinnest veneer of accountability to a brutal, fascist dictatorship?
I can see the bill now, it will be great!
-Required to cooperate with probes (unless it jeopardizes an active case)
-Stays at border (previous 100 mile range limit extended to 200 miles)
-IDs, body cams (slap on wrist for turning them off)
-ICE out of churches and schools (unless pursuing a case)

Dems coalescing around 5 restrictions on ICE, I'm told:
DHS required to cooperate with state probes (big)
CBP stays at border
warrants for arrests
IDs, bodycams
ICE out of churches, schools
"That package unites a lot of Dems," Sen Chris Murphy tells me on the pod:

In 2012 when Minnesota was the first state to defeat a constitutional marriage ban, the state recognized we had to act on momentum and gay marriage was legal months later. We can’t let up.
