Karin is a former partner at Faegre Drinker and a large number of AoM top donors are lawyers. Are they trying to enrich themselves over this? Bizarre fundraising ask. Why not give money to immigrants and/or teachers 🤦‍♀️

Begging some local journalists to ask the mayor why he needs a “legal defense fund” when we have a city attorney?
Maybe the best example of the "We Keep Us Safe" ethos in a time of widespread injustice is Mayor Frey's PAC putting in a plug for his personal legal defense fund.

look this is just a whole branding problem, what if we just called them roundabouts?

filter blockades: scary, bad, confusing, american
roundabouts: less threatening, already exist in places here, vaguely british
My experience with the filter blockades is that they actually improve safety and keep traffic flowing at a safe speed.
Keeping streets clear is critical to protect lives and property. Blocked streets & makeshift checkpoints are serious concerns for emergency responders as they can delay response times & restrict access. Neighbors have echoed the City’s public safety concerns about this. Let’s keep our streets open.

My friends at Niemanreports.org asked me to write about the experience of being a journalist on the ground in Minneapolis right now. I knew I wanted to tell reporters elsewhere how even this most hopeless of times has been clarifying and, in some ways, energizing. (1) share.google/ms1wKDQZmgep...

Every day, her stubborn one-note song gets people killed.
I met with the Board of the Minnesota State Association of Narcotics Investigators to discuss how we can better protect Minnesotans. We must ensure law enforcement has the resources they need to take on the dangerous drugs like meth and fentanyl.

Ricky was assaulted by ICE tonight for merely standing on public property.
Tonight at 8:30 PM our constituent Ricky was pepper sprayed by ICE on 18th & Polk. 2 agents parked their car, got out and approached observers, started pepper spraying Ricky on public property, and then drove away and left.

Nothing is changing on the ground in Minnesota. ICE must be abolished.

ICE is targeting schools. ICE is targeting mutual aid systems. All of this is escalating.

It’s as bad as it’s ever been here. Local volunteers are wearing bulletproof vests to pack groceries for their neighbors.
Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left.

It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

The fact that mainstream media stopped covering ICE kidnappings in LA isn't because ICE stopped kidnapping (they didn't)

Or ICE slowed down (they have actually increased their tempo)

Or that resistance to ICE slowed down (it never stopped, it grew)

It's the "political showdown" that stopped.

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began.

Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

"more and more of our leftist co-strugglers are recognizing that what people are doing...is much more important than how they talk about it."

"political transformation is much more likely to occur in the process of waging struggle than in the process of arguing about it"
I talked with three Minneapolis organizers, including Andrew Fahlstrom and Susan Raffo, about community defense in Minneapolis, the social fabric of collective care under federal occupation, and how people around the country should be gearing up for the long struggle ahead. Audio + transcript:
Minneapolis Community Defense Is “Riding on the Learning Edge of a Whirlwind”
“We are becoming the people that we always knew that we needed to be,” says Minneapolis organizer Andrew Fahlstrom.

I know a bunch of us are hemorrhaging money into gfm and rent funds.

It’s nice to have a place that’s easy on the budget . (Still, tip your barkeep)
Hey, we've had a few random folks send checks from around the country. So we have a running tab. If you're out there doing mutual aid or patrolling, tell the bartender* and they'll buy you a drink. You deserve it.
Stay Safe. Fuck Ice.

*Almost all the bartenders know about this.

Anarchists are your neighbors. Their kid goes to preschool with your kid. They are in class with you at the local community College. They are your coworkers, your friends, and your family members.

We don't just fucking spawn out of thin air if full black bloc gear anytime there's a protest
that is to say, there is no neat and universal mutual exclusion between "masked members of a black bloc" and "the local you know who is looking after their neighbour". sometimes, oftentimes even, these are the same person

We watch your kids at the park. We give lunches to the unhoused on the weekends. We hold free medical clinics and treat your wounds. We teach adults how to read. We do the dishes and take out the trash after parties. We set up chairs and coffee at community meetings. We make art.

We're everywhere.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

If you’re helping to provide food to neighbors who are avoiding going out because of ICE, reminder that some of them will be observing Ramadan soon and providing them with nourishing and festive foods or at least a quality/fancy box of dates on top of what you’re already doing would be A+
