The levels of rage to make normal people in the Twin Cities laugh derisively when you fall on your ass is surface-of-the-sun level.
But it’s from the same root that caused all those strangers to stop and help me. It’s just that now, instead of bandaids, people need whistles and bodies on the line.

Every time I see someone yammering about abolish ICE / policing and how DEEPLY UNPOPULAR it is, I want to remind them that the GOP abolished Roe v. Wade and that was also deeply, deeply unpopular, and here they are, in charge of everything still.

We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

With increased federal immigration enforcement activity in the Twin Cities, it’s important to know your rights. If immigration agents come to your home, take steps to protect yourself and your family. Learn what to do and find trusted local resources at: stpaul.gov/immigration-resources

Folks on the ground are asking me to lift this up because the need is still growing, all around Minnesota.

Friends, thank you for stepping up! Over $40,000 worth of dash cams have been ordered so far for ICE observers in the Twin Cities!
Early orders are trickling in, but we’re getting them packed and deployed ASAFP - several were installed yesterday, these are ready, and 300+ are on the way!

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

You read that right. ICE is now impersonating utility workers in order to gain access to people's homes and businesses without a warrant.

As we, the good people of America, remember J6 with horror and sadness, spare a thought for the residents of the city it happened in.
DC is often overlooked as a place where folks live, but this trauma happened to us, on our streets, in the place we call home.

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution:
If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow.
If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious.
By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked
