At this point it's barely even a boycott, I've just stopped thinking of Target as a place to buy the things I used to buy at Target.

ziibiing.com/shop. Hate Jacob Frey and wanna support Ashley Fairbanks and her rent fundraising efforts? Here's your chance.

“Almost”? MPD sure seems past that

"There is no data showing this is true" is just... false? We did a study less than two years ago showing a pre-eviction notice CAN help! If you want to say you disagree with the study that's one thing, but it's another to deny that any data exists.

It's day 100 of the ICE occupation of MN.

For 100 days, this community has done everything in our power to protect and care for our neighbors.

And today, Jacob Frey failed to do the bare minimum and give neighbors time to recover and put their lives back together.

We'll be 🔗 some 🧵 below.

DHS agents are still here in our community in plain clothes scouting out immigrant owned businesses on Central, knocking on neighbors doors, swapping out licenses plates in cars without registration, and driving dangerously in our community.

Meanwhile, people in Minnesota and around the country are conducting a massive mutual aid effort to get the landlords paid. But it takes time for people to get help! If people can't get the money, landlords are going to be out thousands upon thousands of dollars and they'll never collect most of it

This is one of the things that really shows how shortsighted Frey's decision is. Landlords rarely get paid when they evict someone, even in the long run. In MN, you can't collect rent on an eviction judgment; you need to sue separately. And most rent assistance won't pay arrears for prior residences

most evictions are for “back rent” no?? what in the world are they doing?!

So it's been amazing to see all the rent relief fundraising. Absolutely incredible. But it gets to me that the end result of all this is the money goes to line landlord pockets. And yes families stay housed. That's vital. But it's all of us every day regular degular citizens sacrificing for it.

I would like to know the answer to this question 👇🏼

A collection of 9 anti-ICE and related signs, including signs reading “Five out of five skeletons agree . . . ICE out” and “We are Minnesota, We protect our neighbors”

A collection of 9 anti-ICE and related signs, including signs reading “This is a Moral Moment” and “No Human is Illegal”

I’ve been photographing anti-ICE and related yard/window/tree/street signs around Minneapolis. The variety of commercial and especially handmade signs is amazing, as is the urge for people to let their neighbors know they care and are furious in ways big and small. Batch #9

LFG! Every little bit helps.

Fries are pretty good too!

Somewhere I have a photo of a squirrel eating brisket on a trash can in Loose Park in Kansas City. Peak squirrel life if you ask me. Anyway this reminded me of that

the woman who told a judge threatening her with contempt of court that she aims to instigate change from within the DOJ by quote "writing an email in big, bold font" is ready to bring her effective communication and governance skills to Illhan Omar's seat and forgot to kick off in the right district

HCMC all day and twice on weekends.

Still no other reporting on this so far.

this is a great piece. i live right by a freeway and spend a lot of time walking and biking around other downtown-adjacent neighborhoods that used to all be connected until freeways came in and ruined it, so i think about the harms of them and what we lost often

September warmth has pushed fall colors about 2 weeks later since 1970 Temperature records show September is one of the fastest warming months in Minnesota in the past 55 years. That’s pushing Minnesota’s fall color change about 2 weeks later than in the 1960s.

This number made me do a double take today.
September in Minnesota is now 6 degrees warmer on average than in 1970. 🌡️
And fall colors peak ~ 2 weeks later.
Hear my convo with Pete Boulay of the MN State Climate Office tomorrow on Climate Cast.

Monday Evening in Minnesota in a gradiant of light pink to fuchsia more or less on a dark reddish purple background

It is nearing 6:30 p.m. (but probably still feels like 5:30 p.m.) in Minnesota.

Hope you remembered to eat and drink and take your meds and all of that stuff. Get on it, if you're past due.

Hang in there, folks.

Fuck ICE (Abolish ICE).

This is to say: if you're an attorney who's hesitated to take on habeas cases because you think you lack the knowledge, or you're worried about whether you'll really help, I PROMISE you can make a difference. I'm just a dipshit with a 7-year-old laptop and a bad attitude. If I can do it, so can you.
