MPD's "duty to intervene" is meaningless when his police force worked through the last few months without a single intervention. He should just acknowledge there was no amount of lawlessness federal agents could've done that would have triggered an intervention.
A veto of the 60-day pre-eviction notice tells people that you want them evicted into the cold earlier and that you’re unwilling to protect our immigrant neighbors.
Let Mayor Frey know you want him to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives.

- Email: Jacob.Frey@minneapolismn.gov
We passed pause evictions, save lives. Now it’s on Mayor Frey’s Desk— please reach out to his office to support this critical legislation and not to veto it. Call: 612-673-2100
Families will face evictions without adequate time to get funds together for rent.
NO NO NO YOU DON’T
GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA
federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL
tell everyone you know

It’s beyond obscene, what this city values. We can ALWAYS find more money for MPD and we can never seem to find more money for MPS.
No amount of regret can reunite families, save children from indefinite detention, or make our communities whole again.

You voted for an extremely harmful act that tons of MN'ns spoke out against. Then you witnessed the harm it caused for 2+ months. And now that it's maybe affecting your Senate run, you're "sorry"? Absolutely selfish & ridiculous. Never getting my vote.

video from iceout.org earlier today at the whipple outside minneapolis shows a hennepin county sheriff’s deputy shoving the head of a protestor who was already tackled into the ground
we need someone to challenge dawanna witt for sheriff. this brutality happening under her watch is unacceptable
about 30 people were arrested at whipple this morning for unlawful assembly, and many first hand reports say hennepin county sheriff's office were escalating. people were arrested when they were retreating, and people were knocked down by law enforcement
rep angie craig, running for US senate, spoke to UMN student dems in last night and finally had to address her vote in favor of the laken riley act! she was asked if she regretted it, or if her opinion had changed, and she said NO
even after all the terror ICE brought to MN!
If Defend 612 was a city department they would give a presentation to the city council with a slideshow charting their amazing response times. And brag about not using any of their overtime budget, because they have no budget.
A picture of Brandi Carlisle on stage at the Target Center. The audience is in the dark and holding up phone lights, the stage is lit up red and a little smoky, with a large screen showing Brandi up close.

I highly recommend buying yourself a last minute ticket to Brandi Carlisle. The show was magical and full of love.
After the show, I fangirled a little when I saw Senator Scott Dibble, and then I noticed Murray Hill and fangirled A LOT & Scott insisted on taking our picture bc he's just a gem ❤️
Abolish ICE everywhere.
minneapolis city council member jason chavez saw hennepin county sheriff’s office doing crowd control enabling ICE to kidnap latino neighbors. “if we don’t like when ICE pepper sprays or throws gas bombs, why should we support local law enforcement doing those same tactics?”
@jchavezmpls.bsky.social
Crosswalks, the ends of the alleys and a handful of neighbors' sidewalks have been a nightmare all winter. I live half a mile from the light rail & yet it is impossible for someone using a wheelchair or walker to get around for 1/4 of the year. But cute feel good video, @minneapolismn.gov
I’m just a Minneapolitan, standing in front of a country, asking them to stop platforming our mayor for swearing on tv about ICE and then doing nothing substantive while antagonizing city council members that are
Blue Owl is the private equity fund that owns part of the Timberwolves & Lynx AND in invested in the new ICE concentration camps. My guess is they are going to have to pick one or the other!
The numbers do speak for themselves. In fact, our neighbors know this because they feel it on the ground. They expect us to do more.
How about you stop telling us behind closed doors that we shouldn’t fund immigrant legal assistance, rental assistance, or support for our small businesses!
Also, if you're not calling to Abolish ICE completely, you don't love your neighbors. If ICE leaves Mpls (big IF), they'll just go terrorize other states and cities who don't deserve that.
I saw countless electeds standing with our neighbors to patrol our streets, help with mutual aid drives and protest the brutality of our federal government. Jacob Frey was busy on a press tour, just planning his next political move. Thanks for nothing.
It is so Mayor Frey to congratulate himself for standing with his neighbors while he was actually on a press tour. He wasn't signing an eviction moratorium, or standing with the handful of Council Members observing our streets, or managing massive mutual aid drives. You don't care about us.
Not ward 9 CM being asked to share direct aid requests from north Minneapolis residents because ward 4 & 5 CMs are not willing or able to meet this moment.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.
I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”
1/
Jacob Frey - "I said 'Fuck ICE,' you're welcome, lowly constituents"
Constituent, after Frey has done nothing to help Mpls - "Fuck you"
Jacob Frey - *with the smarmiest look you can imagine* "hey, saying 'fuck' to ME isn't helpful"
What is helpful @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social ? Can you do it?
As Minnesota's senior senator runs to replace Tim Walz as governor, her votes and positions on Trump, ICE, and labor should be disqualifying to progressive voters.
We don't need #karenthecamera spying on everyone, everywhere. Get rid of your surveillance cameras, people. They won't help you find your dog or your stolen packages, they'll just help the government spy on your neighbors, and you.
Alright folks, I’m back on my barnraising bullshit with @ziibiing.com and Stand With Minnesota. 🌻
There are 2 rent needs im barnraising for this weekend: one for $800 and one for $2600.

Please chip in or share as you can.
I believe Walz, Frey, Witt, O'Hara genuinely want the ICE surge out of MN and Minneapolis. Some of them genuinely might want all of ICE out for good. At the same time, the ICE surge is not an existential threat to their jobs/careers. The appearance of disorder in the streets is. An uprising is.
From a Comrade 19h. C One of the nuts things about organizing in the Twin Cities right now is that even the most long term organizers who've been here for decades can't keep track of all the resistance that is going on. There are so many self-organized crews just doing work that in any conversation with someone from another neighborhood you might stumble over a whole collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers taking cars of detained people away for free. People delivering food to families in hiding. So many local rapid response groups that the number is uncertain but somewhere between 80 and the low hundreds- especially when one considers that several immigrant communities have their own non-English rapid response networks usually uncounted in the main English-language directories. People standing watch outside daycares and schools. This whole resistance has so many poles of initiative and leadership, so many layers of self-organization, that it's extraordinarily difficult for the state to repress or for opportunists be they Democrats or movement-riding parties) to co-opt and control. Of course, that's built up through many years and decades of organization, and not only through explicitiv political campaigns or formations built during times of crisis and rupture like 2020. It is also built through day-to-day mutual aid, culture building, workplace and tenant organizing, and simple, basic relationship building among neighbors and coworkers here.

message from MN
So Whipple roads get to be as blocked off as the Feds and HennCo sheriff want to protect evil, but Frey/MPD say neighbors don’t get to do partial blocks of roads at all to prevent evil. Cool.
