the status quo is supported by people with resources believing that the only responsible way to help the “less fortunate” is to give to the appropriate organization that redistributes it to the worthy.
our system was built to fail the people in the moment we are in—to protect systems of oppression.

as someone who once managed a monthly budget of $40,000 of rent assistance for a small nonprofit social service agency?
you know how much time and effort it would take to pay 40 people’s rents?!?!?!?
applications, in-person meetings, approval from my boss, mailing a check to a landlord…

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.

I said we were done asking for rent money. But today I heard the horrifying fact that there are zero family shelter beds in the entire state of Minnesota. So we are going to try something new.
We are going to do peer to peer funding. You take on urgent‼️ funding for one family. You send to them.

TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

It seems clear Alex Pretti, a healthcare worker, was murdered for engaging in the exact kind of community care we hope all care workers to embody: the kind that doesn’t stop at the threshold of the hospital, the clinic, but that aims to care for and support the community where and how they can

I see folks outside MN lauding how organized we are & all I can say is: THIS IS IT. This is the whole organizing principle. You ask what you wish someone was doing & then you DO THAT THING. It doesn't matter if it's perfect or even enough. Just do it. Find other people doing it & do it with them.
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.

We're forming cells.
We're sheltering and feeding those at risk.
We're setting up structures beyond the state.
This isn't protest. It's not quite revolution. It feels like harm mitigation as we do it, but maybe it's building our capacity for some beauty we can't see from here.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.
The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.
