Minnesota had a successful strike yesterday, so they murdered a citizen this morning in retaliation. you can't convince me it's not related.

Psst... it's actually "Hamline-Midway," not Midway-Hamline. In case that confuses anyone trying to search for the diaper bank and not finding it. :)

I was unaware of the Midway-Hamline Diaper Bank, but if you are looking for a place to donate, that would be a great one. Midway-Hamline/Frogtown are two of the most diverse (majority POC) neighborhoods in the cities, full of young families, and the main store selling sundry items there is Target.
Reminder that in solidarity with today's anti-ICE general strike in Minnesota, I am donating all proceeds from today's newsletter to People over Papers, the Midway-Hamline Diaper Bank, and Every Meal. Sign up for PN through the links in this edition 👇 to support good causes.
What if we just stopped paying taxes?
Where there's a will there (might) be a way.

Another organization, the Autonomous Yurt Union, is distributing firewood and supplies for people who are outside without shelter today. Please consider supporting people outside with direct donations of supplies (see graphic below) or by donating to AYU.

done; please contribute if you can 💜
It’s -21°F (-29°C) in Minneapolis right now. Dangerously cold for people, especially those without shelter. MIWRC has opened their doors, but need funds to cover these extra operations. Please give if you can!
Additionally, MIWRC needs funds to keep their emergency warming center open to our unhoused community members. Please contribute and share to help keep our relatives safe!

Alt text for the image as best I can: An image of an ICE person slipping on a snow covered bridge. It reads on top "ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA. 1/23/26." Orange MinnMax logos bookend the date. On bottom, "MINNMAX WILL DONATE $1 TO THE IMMIGRANT LAW CENTER OF MINNESOTA FOR EVERY REPOST."

still feels like folks outside of MN are kind of not getting it: our state has been under attack for over a month, and the resistance is being organized by literally your regular old neighbors and coworkers and friends.

The Senate is on recess this whole week.

The Senators could all be in Minneapolis right now, riding with ICE patrols, speaking out about what's happening, and standing up for what's right.

That they are not is a choice.

It’s 3 PM and we’re seeing a big increase of ICE and border patrol cars throughout the Ward. We need people out with eyes on the streets right 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:
If you're still able to help Minnesota, @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social is always accepting donations. $10 buys a pack of handwarmers. If you were given Amazon gift cards this year for Christmas, you can shop their Amazon wishlist: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

Another excellent effort in Minneapolis

please support pow wow grounds!

they were getting hassled by ICE the other week as well (as our Indigenous relatives have been targeted heavily by ICE as well) & AIM patrols have utilized this space as a hub during community safety patrols.
Pow Wow Grounds coffee shop, which regularly becomes a community hub when Minneapolis is in need, are still in need. People doing ICE watch/rapid response are using it to organize, rest, and refuel. Often for free when people donate food and coffee, for those who can't afford to buy from the shop

Remember when everyone was all excited the other day cause Frey said fuck on TV?

This is who he is. This is who he has always been. This is who he always will be.

But I dare him to prove me wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."
