Inexplicably weird lefty, completely unendearing to moderates and Republicans. Love my Minneapolis community, busted my aching chops to elect Kamala, so a little worse for wear, but plan to be fully occupied with resistance, whatever that means.

Let’s make doing the right thing pay
I was thinking about yesterday how after all this is done how much different folks will look at what small business have been doing in response to the occupation vs big business and corporate and what that means for how folks spend their dollars in the future.

New way to help: donate Delta Skymiles to get people home to Minnesota if they're released from detention in Texas.
Okay! This has already inspired a bunch of DMs, so I made a page on the website. If you have 50,000+ Skymiles and would be willing to book flights to get someone home, please fill this out.

Tomorrow, Mike Johnson's majority in the House will be down to one vote, which means, in my humble opinion, that Rep. Thomas Massie has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever.

It is both impressive & *absurd* how much money average middle class Minnesotans are scrounging together to pay our neighbors’ rent so they aren’t made homeless during a federal occupation (in winter) where they can’t work & need to shelter in place to stay safe from abduction and abuse.

I think if regular folks are donating hundreds of dollars to mutual aid in the span of a few weeks, then landlords could maybe have a heart and not evict vulnerable families in this time of extraordinary crisis

Dumb article. Presumes a non political ICE objective which is naive to the point of irresponsibility.
Experts say federal immigration agents' skills are a dangerous mismatch for urban settings such as the Twin Cities
CBP has a history of excessive force. Critics say they were unprepared for Minnesota

@governorwalz.mn.gov we need a declaration of emergency and an eviction moratorium to keep our neighbors safe. Please do not land on the side of landlords in this moment
They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.
Hundreds of people spelled out the distress signal "SOS" on Bde Maka Ska in Minneapolis on Friday, Jan. 30.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/

DFL legislators need to insist on a compensation fund of tens of millions of dollars to offset economic harms of the ICE siege. It infuriates me that Mercado Central has to hold a $500,000 bake sale to hold onto their building. Tens of fucking millions.

Just moments ago the parkway was TAKEN OVER by winter cyclists. At first I thought hundreds, but they just kept coming. Thousands and thousands! I almost cried. I’m so dang proud of MN right now.

Bloomberg Law reporting is about as staid and boring as it gets (complimentary). This is basically the equivalent of the A.P. calling for a coup.
Lawyers can't reach clients in ICE detention. I've heard it anecdotally, but scale of issue is horrifying.
Bloomberg Law is a legal trade pub so many may miss this. Screenshot from their CA newsletter summarizes "bleak" situation for justice and rule of law.

Tom Homan is at least pretending to look more humble and competent than Greg Bovino, but the federal officers on the ground in Minneapolis are still the largely new, poorly trained, militancy-minded force they were last week.
