"I also drive around with my passport and green card. My kids have an extra note in their bag, just in case mom and dad don't come home, which, in its instance, is something that brings back childhood memories of me being a war refugee. It's not a pleasant thing to carry.

NEW: Minnesota United CSO Khaled El-Ahmad on adding James Rodriguez to “evolve the culture,” a late-winter surprise in a “mentally tough” moment amidst Metro Surge.

“This is the right place for him because of the community, how we stand up for each other.”

Skeptical but still want to ride a bike and be around nice people?

The February ride meets this Thursday at 6 p.m. at Fulton Beer’s North Loop taproom.

We're bringing Valentine-making kits to the taproom for some post-ride crafting.

We are doing our best to keep up with rent needs at our neighborhood school, but the needs are growing by the day.

We received $10,000 more in rent requests just this morning (all for overdue February rent).

Donate if you can and please share with your people!

I will add that I believe the protest media (streamers, photographers) etc contribute to nonviolent landscape we are seeing

Will I throw a dildo at a car if I’m being recorded? Maybe. Will I light a building on fire knowing there are 10 photographers and 8 streamers eager to post my crime? Nope
Friends in Minneapolis are very worried about this development. Both in terms of state police's role in arresting protestors and the worry that this could set off the kind of spiral of distrust and destruction that followed George Floyd's murder.

tomorrow i would really like to challenge a few folks with larger followings than me to adopt a rent and raise it in one day.

my little group chat and my followers have paid like 70 families rents in the past four days. i believe that some of y’all could help us keep one family housed.
today's report:

our "adopt a rent" venmo campaign paid 43 families rents who were at risk of evictions, including several moms of 4+ children

this is the way to get rent paid fast. like. 1000x better than any other way.

This was Pearll Warren

I’ll leave the clips to @wedge.live but she talks about prostitutes getting drunk at hotels, discrimination (against ICE?), and the city council needing to stay in their lane (this is their lane)
“After one council member called the protesters ‘agitators’ …”

Huh. Weird place to suddenly stop naming the council members who have been saying the things.

This is Minnesotan for “I will do a great job and I will not let you down but I want to make sure someone else can do it if they want to”
Person running for DFL vice chair of precinct 10-1 pledges to do a "C minus" job and attend "some meetings" but if literally anyone else is willing to do a C plus job, she would step aside.

The other night I was at Alex Pretti’s memorial. Among the many people handing out treats and snacks were Somali women sharing sambusas and tea. At a nearby table there was a bag of salted nut roll for people to take.

All of this is the real Minnesota

Every donation link, every GoFundMe for rent support etc., is—in reality—a fundraiser to make sure parasitic landlords with no moral compass can keep extracting wealth from vulnerable people.

We have to do it, and it’s great we are. But, it doesn’t change the fact it’s immoral and deeply fucked up.
Volunteer groups have raised thousands of dollars so that families in Minneapolis who are out of work due to fear of being harassed or abducted by ICE can make rent.

Put differently, a large number of landlords are so horrendously shitty they will extract wealth at any cost—moral or otherwise.

Help support Northeast Middle School families struggling due to this illegal ICE occupation. Your community support is providing immediate help for families.

I will keep pushing for an eviction moratorium, rental assistance, small business support, and more from government.
