If community members have capacity to help immigrant neighbors move their cars and help them get unstuck from the snow it would be super helpful.
Snow emergencies are going to get more difficult as many neighbors have been kidnapped while warming of their cars or while they are stuck.

I don't own a car and have nothing to park, but I'm emotionally invested in the fate of this car that hasn't moved in weeks.

I'm from Minnesota. This is attempted murder.
ICE detain U.S. citizen for looking Somali—use illegal chokehold to tackle him to ground.
Man repeatedly begs agents to look at his digital passport ID—they refuse.
Drove him 7 miles away before releasing him alone into Minnesota snow storm—told him to "walk home" in freezing weather advisory.

Do you have a whistle? Are you whistle trained? Is everyone in your house (above age idk 10?) trained ?

Form a crowd stay loud. Tell targeted neighbors to stay inside when they hear whistles & don’t open the door.

why should the city of minneapolis pay to acquire parking ramps that will only be used by drivers? drivers need to stop being subsidized, the idea of using our tax dollars to fund free parking in a ramp is so selfish and greedy.

Every time Frey Guys write op-eds they are so miserable about the city. I’m not even sure this is really a counterpoint to Steve Brandt. And even Linea Palmisano sounds skeptical of the one idea (free parking). Figlio’s ain’t walking through that door, Greg. www.startribune.com/twin-cities-...

ICE agents followed a Burnsville family home from the store, failed to present a warrant and entered their home with guns drawn. They detained 4 legal citizens who presented documentation, leaving a 7 year-old without parents.
A seven-year-old. Let that sink in. Trump’s ICE is out of control.
