- Happy Thursday to the Twin Cities and our supporters! Here’s the latest list of ways to show up for the community, from donating SkyMiles to get people back home to free ICE Out screen printing to bridge brigades to noise demos where ICE agents are staying! Stay strong, Minnesota!
- Happy Wednesday! Lots happening in and around the Twin Cities to support our neighbors. You can donate SkyMiles to immigrants to get home, join the “Bridge Brigade” in Golden Valley, get trained on community defense, and more! List is below! And list with links here: substack.com/profile/1198...
- And as a reminder, you can find my ICE response handbook here and also linked in profile: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
- Went to caucus tonight. We sat in folding chairs and drafted resolutions that we hope will turn into legislation, and we signed up to get more involved. Room was mostly young people who love this state and the wonderful people in it. #minnesota
- Here’s my take: I’m so proud to celebrate the many LGBTQ+ people I know who are loving America’s children.
- Come minnesotano e amante dell'Italia, sono profondamente grato. Non tutti gli americani sono fedeli a Trump. Sosteniamo i veri valori americani e cristiani ed esprimiamo gratitudine per coloro che ci spronano a promuovere la vera pace e la giustizia. Minnesota ❤️ Italia
- Happy Tuesday! It’s caucuing day across Minnesota! But we also have a city council meeting, community defense training, an ICE roast comedy night, and more! Here’s the updated ICE response list!
- Getting lots of requests for a version with links. I've been resistant to share publicly for a number of reasons. But putting out this week's on my Substack here: substack.com/profile/1198...
- Agents lying about rights. Children exposed to tear gas. Pets abandoned by ICE in homes and cars after detaining their owners. This is just some of what we're seeing in the Twin Cities. And it's why I've been putting together this ICE response handbook. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
- Something striking about Dr. Nicolosi’s defense of conversion therapy: he misrepresents ***his own work*** youtu.be/Vxr0NqGi7vg
- In the Star Tribune today. It’s not that we can’t have sympathy for the church that got protested, or that we necessarily agree with the protest. It’s that our sympathy is being spent on people facing actual violence daily.
- Sometimes you don’t need to argue. Just ask questions and let them prove themselves wrong. And then thank them for it 😊
