Sometimes I think about living anywhere else, and, having lived in OK, OR, and CA and spent lots of time elsewhere -- it's tough to come up with any place in the US that comes close. I mean, come on. I can go on as long of a bike ride as I can handle with practically no cars? Get outta here!

To any ICE agents reading this who are from down south—you have never experienced anything like this cold. Our European climate equivalent is literally Stalingrad. It will hurt to breathe. You will be outside in it. So will we, but we are used to it.
Next week is what will break you.

We've lead charmed weather lives so far in January.

We're about to be reminded what persistent cold and occasional snow feels like. ❄️
MSP could bottom out -10 to -20 next Tue.

Roughly 80% of immigrant-owned businesses along key corridors in Minneapolis and St. Paul have closed in the past week as employees and customers stay home in fear of ICE agents detaining them.
Immigrant corridors in both Minneapolis and St. Paul nearly shut down by intensifying ICE actions
Revenue down from 50% to 100% at immigrant businesses along Lake Street and in St. Paul’s east side. Businesses say the impact is worse than COVID’s.

Minneapolis resident of 10 years verifying. Certainly the most acute, certainly the most dangerous-feeling given the threat has the full backing of the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
the thing that makes the American public more complacent than we’d like, much of the time, is that not many things cause major disruption to our day to day lives
what ICE is doing in Minneapolis is likely the single most disruptive thing most folks there have ever experienced
they hate it!

The people seem to be turning against ICE, and that's probably because the president is sending them into every major population center and screwing with people's lives. Politics is often invisible, but this is not!

Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.

There’s reports that there will be 1,000 more agents coming to our city. We need that same surge in residents out patrolling our streets. Even if you can’t patrol, come work from a coffee shop on one of cultural corridors so you can be there to show up for our neighbors.
