MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Federal authorities announce end to Minnesota immigration crackdown that led to mass detentions, protests and two deaths.

For the last week, the conversation about Minneapolis has moved on while we've been seeing as much ICE activity as ever.

I've had people from out of state say, "I thought things were getting better," and "I heard agents left."

We'll see. Don't stop listening to people on the ground here.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Don't get defeatist, write support tickets, feedback, emails, let them know this shit sucks. Cancel your nitro until they reverse this.

Fist bump to anyone else caught between the need to bow down & accept the dire, broken reality of the attention economy to continue surviving via their creativity & a desire to disconnect which becomes more vast, and more potentially vital to their sense of inner peace, with every year that passes.

Hey threads, today is my birthday! You could make me VERY happy by donating to help vulnerable families in North Minneapolis with rent and other bills! Or if you don't have money to give, share this post!

@nipinet is posting receipts over on their insta!

One of the hardest things to explain to people who aren’t here is the very real feeling that we are in a war against the federal government. Not only are we occupied by unaccountable armed, masked paramilitaries, but we are constantly aware our neighbors might be abducted in the blink of an eye.
Was he actually approaching Minnesota as a regime change

My husband is working with a group delivering groceries to families from an overwhelmingly Hispanic school in Mpls. He will be buying groceries this Friday. $350 will finish covering their food needs for the week; if he raises more he will buy TP/laundry detergent. Venmo: Edward-Burke-MSP.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

see my problem with this one is that i love to spoil them (said while torturing them)
What's something your MC wants that you know they're never going to get? Why? Are they not doing enough to earn it? Is it something they don't actually need? etc. #WritingPrompt

I personally don't tell people who have been fighting their hearts out daily for weeks not to celebrate wins of any size. I certainly don't do that when I've been nowhere near the place where the fight has been happening and have done little more than make some donations from miles away.

okay fellow white people, they're doing this because they believe this will appease us and it can't

the only way forward is the dissolving of the agency totally

fuck them

abolish ice is the ONLY way forward

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

My group chats are full of Minnesotans reacting to today’s murder by figuring out ways they can help.

We need people outside of the state to do the same thing. Whatever you wish everyone else was doing right now? Do it today.

Let’s make a list of things that could help.

Come on, bluesky, I know we can spread this farther.
If you don't know Minneapolis, north is a very vulnerable neighborhood in our city, and it hasn't been seeing the same influx of resources as south Minneapolis has.

We're raising funds to help vulnerable northside families cover rent & bills. If you can, please SHARE THIS this or venmo @nipinet.
