Getting a lot of messages. A lot are like "Can I come help?" (appreciated, but unless you know the area very well, probably not THAT useful) or "Can I send money?" (not to me, please).
But the best ones are like "I want to build what you guys have back in my home city." YES, DO THAT. DO IT NOW.

Moratorium on evictions, NOW.
Dear neighbor,
We don’t know when this ICE occupation is going to end. Our neighbors are not sheltering in place because they are struggling to pay for rent, bills, and groceries. While the community has been meeting the moment, it’s time for the government to step in and help. 1/

- Require warrants for every interaction that req's city involvement

An eviction moratorium is desperately needed in Minneapolis and elsewhere impacted by the ICE occupation
At the same time, there also needs to be more creative ways to create more local friction for ICE, from the city level

In the NYT's defense, maybe they also tried to interview people at a bar in Minneapolis at 10 am and they couldn't find anybody because we're either terrified in our homes or protecting our neighbors who are too terrified to leave.

Neighbors in Minneapolis are keeping neighbors housed in the midst of the federal occupation—thousands of dollars are being raised via mutual aid networks to help pay rent.

The fact that there hasn't been an eviction moratorium issued is the sort of thing that lawmakers should be forced to answer for. Abject, unnecessary cruelty in a crisis.

MPHA must freeze eviction actions. Mayor Frey do better. Or actually do anything beyond pressers.

In the middle of the ICE occupation, the City of Minneapolis is still evicting its poorest, most vulnerable residents. Over peanuts. 86% of public housing residents are BIPOC, 57% disabled, avg income of ~$16k. Throwing our neediest neighbors out into the teeth of winter, exposed to ICE. Disgusting.
I briefly scanned each eviction filed by Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) on 1/13/26 (including 3 more filed by Community Housing Resources, an entity affiliated with MPHA):
-41 evictions filed
-Average alleged overdue amounts: $362
-4 cases for < $100, 34 cases for <$500, 1 case over $1K
-41 evictions filed

Another thing you should know about the Twin Cities, if you're not here, is that while the mayor and governor tell us to stay calm on TV, our council members and other local electeds are on the street patrolling and protecting neighbors, doing mutual aid, and otherwise serving the community.

So, among the the things I got to help with in law school at UMN was putting together questions for a Minneapolis Mayoral Candidate forum in 2017. We made sure to have a question about sanctuary cities, and guess what Jacob Frey said?

NEW: Kristi Noem is facing by far the most credible impeachment effort of Trump's 2nd term. Some House Dems are fuming.

this is Minnesotan for "I am mad enough to bite through rebar"
Props to the lady giving an interview in her pink UFFDA hat and saying, "well, gosh, I've never had tear gas and flashbangs shot at me, but I'm happy to take it so my neighbors are safe."

WHY are news stations reading DHS statements out loud as if they have ANY credibility at all? They literally murdered a woman in cold blood LAST WEEK and are still lying about what happened, even though we can see what happened. That any credibility would be given to their statement is insane

Lots of people running with ICE’s claim that someone attacked them with a shovel so they were justified in shooting two people. What kind of shovel? It’s like 10 degrees outside, there hasn’t been snow in days. Why would someone just happen to have a shovel on hand after a high speed chase?

For people outside Minneapolis: North is the historically Black part of the city. It's been heavily disinvested from, gutted by the 2008 mortgage crisis, and got hit by a tornado which did damage you can still see from aerial photos. It's no mistake ICE is going after more vulnerable populations.
i feel for the people of north minneapolis if they’re about to become a protest hot spot from outside the neighborhoods. this is an area often neglected and ignored by even its own elected officials. people not from over north should really be judicious in how they act coming over there
Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.
Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.
BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.
