This is Minneapolis:

You stop at one of the rotation of local coffee places you’re wanting to support through this. They have a “leave a message/take a message of encouragement for you neighbor in these hard times” jar on the counter. It’s next to the jar of whistles.
This is Minneapolis:

Your heart is broken and repaired in equal measure every day. It is your home.
This is Minneapolis:

I go to get some work done at the local coffee shop. They have an "ICE OUT MSP" sign in the window and a sign on the door barring entry to Federal Immigration Enforcement.

The place is much busier than normal.

I just want it to be really clear, to people from out of the area, if they see pictures of fires in Minneapolis: THEY WERE STARTED BY ICE. NOT BY PROTESTERS. NOT BY RESIDENTS.
So not only are they shooting our citizens they are setting the city on fire. #MFD did respond. Someone get an Air Quality check in #Minneapolis with the volume of Flash Bangs & Chemical Irritants.
🚨BREAKING: Multiple fires have broken after ICE unleashed ANOTHER ONSLAUGHT of flash bang grenades and chemical gas at unarmed Minneapolis protesters in WAR-LIKE attack. LIVE NOW ⬇️

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:

Sample contextual 🧊 epithets, for you to freely use and share :

• Failed mall cop
• Coward
• Thumb
• Traitor
• Baby
• G.I. Joker
• Clown (see also: assclown)
• Buffoon
• Tweedle Dee, particularly together with his brother Tweedle Dum
• Assface (see also: fuckface)
• Shithead

Heckling feedback:
Consider focusing on debasing 🧊 oafs and their colleagues rather than their imitation of Nazis/gestapo. Some — most? all? — get off on that shit and think it’s cool.

Just make clear to them that they’re complete fucking losers, for whom you have no respect and harbor no fear 🔥

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

"when you say its a May Day parade, do you mean like the sun worship May Day or the international workers labor day May Day?"

"yes"
I'm still laid up sick at home, thinking about Powderhorn Park and everything it means to the community. Watching this video from Mayday last year to remind me of the importance of radical joy

Great thread. I will add one thing: it’s very clear that when ICE is going into a new city, it’s not going into a city who hasn’t learned. Organizers are sharing. They start and people already have every license plate number they’ve used and are tracking their vehicles on day one.
They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.

Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.

Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.

Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

She was deeply loved by her wife who is presumably going to raise the six-year-old boy you just categorized as an orphan for some reason.

And we didn't ✌🏾lose✌🏾 her. The government murdered her. Words mean things
Renee Nicole Good was a mother of three, including a 6-year-old boy who is now an orphan.

Renee was deeply loved by many. Her mom described her as “one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.”

This is who we lost yesterday.
