ICE confirmed at the raid at Bro-Tex on N. Hampden and Territorial Road in St Paul, just east of 280. Situation appears to be similar to the Lake/Bloomington raid that happened back in June, so please be careful.

"Get the garlic girl" hell yeah! (I'm wearing my Francis hoodie rn)
We ordered Francis takeout. The Francis & Chill deal is so gooood! $70 for an app, two burgers or sandwiches, a dessert, and a 4 pack of THC Tetras. We added on a kids meal for $6. It’s a no tipping place because they pay a living wage. And that shit is vegan! Get the garlic girl.

Good morning. I woke up at 7AM and have had a cup and a half of coffee already.
A lot of people outside Minneapolis probably are wondering what's going. What's happened to the "Midwest Mamdani"?
And a lot of people who just learned about us this year are probably confused. It's okay!

9.6 #775 - I think that's a good turnout! 1 Fateh, 2 Davis, 3 Hampton -- Wilson, Olsen and Frederick -- Brandt, EHB, and wedge live for the 3rd rank write in. Of course I voted for Jason Chavez:)

Being addicted to gambling ruined my dad's life (and created chaos in my family that I'm still working out) He went to the races, which takes time and effort. Just one click away is a nightmare
I have talked numerous times how gambling nearly destoryed my Dads life in his mid 20s (there was also the fact he was an alcoholic) but he was going to a bookie. He wasn't doing it on his phone. He had to go out or call a dude. It's far worse today. No one should be able to get on their phone.

Gotta give credit to @walkingminnesota.com for naming this sketchy payment scheme "the Fratpack" - hahaha!
screenshot of text message circulating among college students where a guy who is working for a frey-supporting PAC asks someone to get people in their frat to "vote and engage in the election" to get paid $350 for 3 hours of work, and if they win, they'll get a bonus
"it'll look good on a resume."

If you attended No Kings and feel the rush and felt community, I have a very, very, very low-stakes, simple way to do more:
Go canvas your neighbors and see if they have planned what they’ll do if ICE shows up. If you talk to a few and they don’t have a plan, make a plan together.

I'm sharing these because it IS good to see people show up in numbers
...& now we need all those people showing up in numbers to think about their next moves
...& how ready they are to show up any other day in any other capacity
...& how they can magnify their clearly collective power.

a corner rally where you dance around for hours does not take much from your opposition, but it takes multiple hours from you, maybe exhausts you, too. does this need to be a half dozen people, or a dozen, or more?

As a person who has primarily biked in this city since 1992 (how the eff did I get this old lol) I definitely feel experienced! I can only imagine how unsafe this detour feels for folks who don't have that much time on. I even wrote @minneapolismn.gov the last time - funny how that didn't help🤷♀️
You are not alone! If the most bike savvy among us don’t feel safe, how can we expect the average person to use this detour?
It’s unacceptable and @minneapolismn.gov must do better.
If someone is hurt here it’ll be at least partly due to the city’s lack of care to protect folks.
