here’s a morning update ❤️‍🔥 we’ve raised $1,162 for this 6th worker & their family that we are working with.

we are hoping to raise $1,400 for them — just as we all came together to do for 5 families earlier this week!

that means we’ve got just $238 to meet that goal! can we get there today? ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
Hi! We're raising mutual aid funds for vulnerable Twin Cities restaurant/service workers & their families.

Currently, we are directly working with 6 Latino families to provide funds for rent, groceries, missed wages, etc.

If you don’t live in the Twin Cities, today is a good day to donate, check in with those who do, & share encouragement/support.

It is not a good day to say or imply we aren’t doing enough to push back on what’s happening here, as we face the “largest immigration effort ever” & extreme violence.

Minneapolis public schools are closed, but St Paul are open, & I'm sure many others across the Metro are open. I'm sure staffing is heavily impacted a long way out. If you have time to be with your family, this is the time to call out or consider alternatives.
A lot of educators in the twin cities are not going in today, and subs are few and far between. I feel like parents should know this before sending their kids to school today.

Prosecute the former regime at every level.

ICE's murder of a young mom should be the final nail in this wicked gestapo's coffin. Disband ICE, investigate all agents.

Also: impeach & prosecute Trump—both for the cavalcade of illegal presidential actions, as well as the fact that he's a pedophile.
The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

There are no words.
NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do."

“We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs.

ICE is a death-making force. At least 32 people died in ICE detention in 2025, and many people are deported into deadly situations. They hunt and kidnap people. They gas people. They shoot people. They are fascist purveyors of violence, and lying is like breathing to them.

Order the police to arrest them, then. Order the police to drive them from the state or these are just words from a boy mayor trying to sound like a big man.
Frey: So, they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is bullshit.

My thoughts right now are with the loved ones of the victim murdered by ICE, an individual who was out in our community because of the care and love for our immigrant neighbors. The agent who murdered our neighbor must be arrested. 1/

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people

really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

They also shot a woman several times, who thankfully survived, and subsequently had all the charges dropped against her.
It's very clear from the commentary exploding on the timeline right now that hardly anyone outside Chicago knows ICE shot and killed a man in his car here in the fall.

It's probably not your fault—too much news.

But if you're choosing to jump in & *report* today, please contextualize. Thanks.

If you are reading this and you consider yourself a socialist or communist but you haven’t educated yourself or worked with others to get yourself educated I know it seems silly in the face of it all but collective study and organization will lead to effective action. It’s not too late.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

The message here should be “we want the shooter.”
Minneapolis mayor is "demanding ICE to leave the city immediately."
