I've written a few books, and I like to rant about gender and hyperlocal Minneapolis politics. Thorn in the side of the DFL: abetterdfl.org. Cat Dad. They/them.

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.
The frigid Twin Cities temperatures will hurt the homeless; so do not gloat about the impact on ICE without also stepping up here:
If you're still able to help Minnesota, @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social is always accepting donations. $10 buys a pack of handwarmers. If you were given Amazon gift cards this year for Christmas, you can shop their Amazon wishlist: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

there's a link in the replies but the long and short of it is: it's zinc chloride, which can basically cause heavy metal toxicity that can cause permanent respiratory damage as well as liver damage.
That green gas is even more dangerous than regularly dangerous gas.
Minneapolis tonight.

love watching people not from Minnesota find out how Jacob Frey is in real time
wooof having watched that presser just now, "don't take the bait" is a real shit thing to tell people who are, by all knowledge and information and evidence, acting in defense of themselves and their neighbors and their communities

We’ve been on the scene all night in North Minneapolis. While we don’t know all the details, we know that ICE shot another person in our City. We also believe a family is still trapped inside and hasn’t been able to talk to anyone, including an attorney.

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.

i am not small but i've spent a ton of time traveling and doing frankly very risky things and have never once felt the need to have a gun with me.
as a small person who has spent a ton of time traveling alone without ever feeling the need to carry a gun, I also think about this a lot
As a small woman I think it’s pathetic to feel the need to carry a gun everywhere to feel safe. If I don’t feel the need how tf do these men that think they’re so big and tough.

Reminder: be careful to only share verified info. There have been two rumors recently of people getting shot by ICE that turned out to be just rumors, but they were shared a lot before being verified. Look for witness accounts and verify.

CBP existed before ICE.
ICE was created for the express purpose of being an extrajudicial police force. Any democrat defending its existence is condoning what they are doing right now.
This is always what it was meant to be.

rep torres, do you have stock in a QR code making company? that's the only possible way this makes sense
I am introducing the Quick Recognition (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying the officer’s name, badge number, and law enforcement agency.
ICE should be unmasked both physically and digitally.

Here's the thing, that can mean 'a bruise' — it just sounds much more dramatic to call it "internal bleeding to the torso"

Someone tried to get me behind a resolution proposal for caucuses that will state the DFL's position is to "reform" ICE and force them to abide by laws requiring body cams and showing their faces and stuff.
Let me be clear: if such a resolution comes up in my precinct, I will actively oppose it.
