organizers are saying that it's especially helpful if people outside of Minnesota, maybe in a place that's not being hit that hard by ICE, can tap in!

Contact the Mayor Contact the Mayor's Office with your opinion or problem. Or, invite the Mayor to your event or meeting.

Imagine if you single handedly had the power to delay thousands of evictions & keep families in their homes. Jacob Frey can do that by signing what Council passed yesterday. Or he can help evict thousands of people with a veto.

Let him know what you would do: www.minneapolismn.gov/government/m...

Would be amazing if we could get some non-Minnesotan neighbors plugged in here. Minnesotans have majorly overextended themselves paying their neighbor's rents and we know there is more capacity to chip in from outside the state.

@naddington.bsky.social I used you as an example, remembering you once posting about what to teach in the fourth semester of algebraic geometry, now that your students had covered the first three chapters of Hartshorne

Updating the occupation/medical comparison for March:

Now it's like when things are *slightly* better and you're just out of the hospital. You're still *pretty damn sick*β€”but now everyone expects you to do normal things, not just focus on surviving. You have less support. In some ways it's harder.

A bill with $40 million in rent relief is headed to the Minnesota Senate floor next week. Lead author @lindseyportmn.bsky.social crafted a bill that addresses the urgency of the moment.

Plus, the bill includes my provision to extend pre eviction notices from 14 to 30 days temporarily.

So many horrors to go around, but the routine transfer of detainees to 5th circuit jurisdiction is something I feel like has not landed with most people yet, and itβ€˜s one of the things I find most terrifying.

Take Action Now: Call Mayor Frey and tell him to support Pause Evictions, Save Lives passed by the city council on 3/5/2026.

Mayor Frey: 612-673-2100

Sample Script: "I am calling to ask Mayor Frey to commit to supporting an extension of the pre-eviction notice period from 30 to 60 days. Countless neighbors are at immediate risk of displacement and this measure is the bare minimum the City can do to protect our neighbors. Can I count on his support?"

Today, the Mpls City Council passed the Pause Evictions, Save Lives ordinance, which would extend the pre-eviction notice period from 30 to 60 days.

Take action now and call Mayor Frey (612-673-2100) and tell him to stand with our neighbors and extend the pre-eviction filing period.

This is your reminder that cops have no duty of care and have argued in court (usually successfully) that they can walk past you bleeding out and not do anything.

Unprecedented activity at the Whipple Building today. Multiple shipments of black Chevy Tahoes and a load of building materials. Never before, not even during *peak surge days*, have we seen so many vehicles delivered at once.

Are these the actions of an agency preparing to vacate the cities?

This is something that has always bothered me: landlords always talk about COVID like they were absolutely gutted. But this massive study by a national trade org, which was conducted on a month-to-month basis, shows the industry never took a bath

Some Minneapolis council members critical of MPD reaction or inaction to ICE agents Police chief Brian O’Hara said he’s mostly pleased with how the department performed during the months-long ICE enforcement surge. However, some council members pushed back on that assessment.

Minneapolis Council Member Aisha Chughtai to Chief Brian O'Hara: β€œYou show up to the scene and you see federal agents pointing their weapons at people, and you don’t feel a duty to protect the residents of this community and instead choose to leave the scene?” (1) www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

At this point there is so much need that we are triaging the most dire needs and imminent evictions. Every one of these stories is heartbreaking. These are humble, hardworking families who desperately want to be working, and they keep apologizing to us as if any of this is their fault 😭

@jklabs.net knows this story, but when I was a kid my dad insisted that we forgo something that I really wanted and felt most people had, so I gave him the old "if you can't beat them join them"

And he hit me back with "we cannot defeat evil in the world but only resist it within our own souls"

Maybe I'm most worried that AI will be like cars: immensely dangerous, terrible for the environment, expensive, making policy and regulation less humane, used regularly when obviously overkill, undeniably useful, and widely adopted.

Not only has MPD not intervened in cases where feds use unlawful force, today we learned MPD has submitted nothing to the county attorney related to crimes committed by federal agents.

Okay, just Minnesotans here?

Angie Craig has taken money from crypto and AIPAC.

Peggy Flannagan has NOT and WILL not.

Angie Craig praised ICE before Metro Surge. She changed her tune now.

Peggy Flanagan has not praised ICE.

VOTE PEGGY FLANAGAN FOR SENATOR!

Stand With Minnesota Stand With Minnesota is a hub for supporting, learning, and taking action to support Minnesotans impacted by ICE and federal enforcement.

Our little standwithminnesota.com team staved off multiple evictions today. I’m so proud of us. And the stories are so heartbreaking, and there’s still so much need.

If you can help, I’ll get it directly where it needs to go.

Public pressure means something. Primaries can change policies. In NY-10, Dan Goldman has been running ads for months.
Primaried from his left by @bradlander.bsky.social, Goldman’s ads have gone from β€œAgents should have to carry ID” in January, to big bold graphics this month that say β€œAbolish ICE.”
