Suddenly realizing that in 10-20 years, the MN Historical Society will have an exhibit about *all this* and there will be a whole wall showing different types of whistles
We have favorite whistles now. I never could have imagined.

my mildly crackpot theory is that we have a non-gendered nation-wide loneliness crisis, and that intense craving of purpose and connection is fueling a lot of the resistance organizing happening now.

Fascism wants you to believe that you are alone. That you are isolated. That the feelings you have are yours and nobody else has them because everybody is too afraid to speak.
But love is stronger than fascism. Community is stronger than fascism.

a little annoyed that 3d printer bfs [gender neutral] all over the country have been validated by the whistles. it's as if the revolution had suddenly needed all the weird cables they're holding onto. you know what i mean.

I’m trying to help this immigrant family who’s been inside for over a month due to increased ICE presence in our community. Rent and bills are due tomorrow (Feb. 1) so we are really hoping to support them. Let’s make this family happy & prevent their displacement. ❤️

Love seeing the pictures rides all over the U.S. and the world in honor of Alex Pretti. Our family in SF drew his name across San Francisco with their bikes.

With such short notice and wind chills into the negatives, I'm incredibly proud of the showing from the Heights Bicycle Coalition chapter of @bikecleveland.bsky.social for the Alex Pretti Memorial Ride.
This is what community looks like!

Getting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.

"Mutual aid, as much as it’s a resource thing, it’s also a love and energy thing. People need support—they need cheerleaders, they need people to hug... It doesn’t have to be organizing a whole network. It can literally be bringing dinner to your neighbors.” - Ashley Fairbanks
Thinking about doing mutual aid in Minnesota? Be prepared for more support than you ever imagined.
They Asked for Donations to Buy $10 Burritos. They Raised More Than $10K. - Racket
As Operation Metro Surge continues, community-led mutual aid efforts are feeding and housing Minnesotans in need—but there’s a lot of work yet to be done.

One thing that is true in this age of "AI" is that authenticity is going to be prized more than ever before. A single hand-scrawled sign is going have more impact than the smoothest "AI" image because the people seeing it knows it comes from someone's brain, not a tuned algorithm.

Alright, Ohio. It's go time...
I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.
Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.
Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Wow, the White House is so shaken by the turn in the public mood that they thought Chuck Schumer might actually rise up and "seize this moment" to get meaningful concessions.
That's how panicked they are. They thought Chuck Schumer would do something.

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”
