Good morning. I read this dispatch from a comrade in Minneapolis this morning and thought that some of you might appreciate it too.

Two white friends tail me home if it's outside the hours when people are out and about. I'm damn near third generation Minnesotan. It's not just "you're a citizen you'll be fine." I'm a black woman alone. Who knows what they will do.
I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

My latest for @cascadepbsnewsroom.bsky.social: The Big Beautiful Bill includes nearly $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid. However, healthcare officials hope a $50 billion fund included in the bill will mitigate some of the potential impacts from such cuts. www.cascadepbs.org/news/2025/09...
WA reviews uses for its portion of $50B federal rural health funds
The Rural Health Transformation Program will distribute $100M annually to each state for five years in response to more than $990B in Medicaid cuts.

Congress is considering major cuts to Medicaid, known here as Apple Health. 1 in 4 Washingtonians access health care through Apple Health. These devastating cuts would harm even those who aren’t enrolled. Tell your congressperson to reject Medicaid cuts: shorturl.at/ZJQ7K
