The regime has begun targeting the Somali community in Portland and Lewiston, which makes this doubly important. It's so much harder for people to lie to you about what's happening in Minnesota when it's also happening to your neighbors down the street.
Portland Maine, despite the cold weather many people gathered in the city center in solidarity with Minnesota.

I’ll be outside Schumer’s Manhattan office screaming tomorrow if you’re looking for somewhere to go, yknow, scream about the terror happening in our streets and to our neighbors. Do not let Minneapolis stand alone. Come stand with us.

You're all showing us that it's possible, and admirable, to live and act as a community.

We are stronger together.
Minnesotans know that.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.

The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

i was talking with someone in the twin cities about how it’s not even accurate to call them protesters. they’re literally just people protecting their city from TERRORISTS.
Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week.

ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.

@erikhane.bsky.social Sorry for the spam likes while I backscroll for mutual aid fund reccs. The Bills were devastating this weekend, and I still describe your NY/Denver Super Bowl to people anytime I see the Broncos, sorry for that too.

taking trump seriously rn would be too damaging to a US in decline so the whole system is squirming to not look at him directly. press translating what he says to sound more sane, democrats just talking about eggs. he's too big to fail

He just unabashedly loves NYC and it comes through in everything he does. It’s amazing having an executive who isn’t looking for the next rung or way out of Gracie. Just wants to make the place he loves better for everyone.

we the people will find justice
The DOJ is not investigating ICE agent Jonathan Ross for the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a top official said Sunday.

The top DOJ official confirmed that an investigation is underway into Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
Justice Department says it has no plans to investigate ICE agent who killed Renee Good and confirms Walz, Frey probe
Frey and the governor’s office both said Sunday that the DOJ has not contacted them about the investigation.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Sunday that a judge’s order limiting the force federal law enforcement officers can use against demonstrators and observers “didn’t change anything” for how agents operate during ongoing immigration enforcement in the Twin Cities.

No final decision made on use of Alaska-based paratroopers. Report comes after day of tense protests in Minnesota.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.

This could be you.

Hell yeah. If you have a Dem rep or senator who isn’t saying this, ask them why not. Dems are in the minority but Repubs will need Dem votes for a new funding bill at the end of the month. Schumer won’t lead, but he will follow with sufficient pressure from his caucus.
The Trump Admin continues to lie about ICE's killing of a 37-year-old mom — claiming she engaged in ‘domestic terrorism.”

They have given ICE a massive budget and allowed them to act with impunity.

I cannot & will NOT support any funding for Trump’s ICE’s operations.

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life
