A!
Just want to remind folks that this is the "mastermind" of the (at least) $250m Minnesota fraud that is being used to scapegoat all Somali people, and basically all immigrants in the state.

After months of relentless rapid response in Minneapolis, members of Defend the 612 had a moment to breathe and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the grief they carry, and the citywide fellowship they hope will endure. The crisis is not over, and I’m grateful they made time to speak with me.

For my Lego friends. If you want your own and also get to support a cause, Dan @ Brickmania has these available. (Well not all of these, just the torsos and signs)

Huge need for focusing donations on keeping neighbors housed. Please help if you can.

Flyer: BOND NEEDED. The family that runs a beloved South Minneapolis restaurant needs $5000 to pay for bond and legal fees to return a loved one from ICE detention. Please donate using the cash links below. Fuck ICE. Venmo is @morning-person and Cashapp is $moldyturnip. Add a cupcake emoji to the description.
We’re fundraising for bond to bail a community member out of detention. This family runs a beloved South Minneapolis restaurant that was already targeted by ICE. Now one of them has been abducted.
Thank you for anything you can contribute. I’ll keep y’all updated. 🩵
In case it's unclear why folks are acting with urgency to prevent neighbors from being abducted and to raise funds and find legal support for people who have already been abducted: 🧵
ICE is still in Minnesota. ICE is still breaking down glass windows and doors. ICE is still separating families. ICE is still targeting our neighbors who need to go to work because they cannot afford food, rent, and basic living expenses. 1/
It cost me $66.70 to get this transcript. Money well spent. I don't need anyone to reimburse me.
But, if you got something out of this transcript, please consider making a $66.70 donation, or even $6.67, to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund, which posts bond for immigration detainees.

Most of the footage you see from ICE observers in Minnesota comes from the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. I talked to observers in the northern suburbs, who say they're taking on the same mission in very different conditions. (1)

DFL legislators need to insist on a compensation fund of tens of millions of dollars to offset economic harms of the ICE siege. It infuriates me that Mercado Central has to hold a $500,000 bake sale to hold onto their building. Tens of fucking millions.

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)

It’s a good day for Hennepin County voters to listen to this Code Switch interview with @petermancina.bsky.social, the author of On the Side of Ice: Policing Immigrants in a Sanctuary State.
(And yes, there’s a transcript, for the podcast-averse among us)

Help bring 2-Year-Old Chloe & Her Father Home. They were kidnapped today in South Minneapolis. With the permission of the mother, we are reaching out to raise funds for lawyer fee’s, food, bond requests, rent, livability, & resources to keep this family together.

One of the taco trucks who serves on our patio (not the tues/fri, but more irregularly) reached out. The owner & his family have been unable to work for over a month and are struggling. We have confirmed this venmo. If you want to “buy lunch” from them, please do.
Six weeks into the immigration enforcement surge in the Twin Cities, observers say federal agents are employing violence more frequently and with little apparent restraint against citizens and noncitizens alike. (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
American Indian Movement logo and flag with black, yellow, white, and red stripes
American Indian Movement (AIM) patrol trucks have been spotted around NE and folks are flagging them as suspicious and giving them unwelcoming glances because they don’t know who they are. This is the AIM logo and flag, which you might see on their trucks. They are friends!
Living with the fact every day that despite tireless efforts by my neighbors (who are literal superheroes), terrified children are still having their parents taken from them.
