Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help:

Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org.

Please donate what you can.

There is more than enough food for everyone. As one of the nation’s largest hunger relief agencies, it’s our job to make sure healthy, nutritious food gets to the households who need it. Every day, we...

NEW: Judge Sessions DENIES the govt’s request to keep Rümeysa Öztürk in Louisiana as it appeals the court’s jurisdiction and reiterates that ICE must transfer her to Vermont by May 1. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Conclusion
For the foregoing reasons, the government's motion for a
stay
of Ms. Ozturk's transfer to ICE custody within
the District
of Vermont is denied. As the Court established in its April 18
Opinion, "Ms. Ozturk has presented viable and serious habeas
claims which warrant urgent review on the merits." Id. at 73.
Any unnecessary delay of Ms. Ozturk's transfer to this District would likely disrupt or delay the Court's proceedings,
potentially prolonging the very detention that is at the heart
of this case. Meanwhile, Ms. Ozturk's return to Vermont would
not unduly burden the government and would restore the status
quo at the time of the order from the District Court in
Massachusetts. The Court ordered that Ms. Ozturk be returned to
Vermont precisely so that the Court could resolve the habeas
petition as expeditiously as possible,
and the Court intends to
do so.
DATED at Burlington, in the District of Vermont, this 24th
day of April 2025.
/s/ William K. Sessions III
Hon. William K. Sessions III
U.S. District Court Judge

I want to make this abundantly clear: fascism headed by tech oligarchs does not have a border. Whether you’re in a blue state or another country, it’s spreading like wildfire. Their greed is limitless. Hold your community close. We need each other now more than ever.
