NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

I cannot recommend Transformation Project South Dakota enough, especially their Trans Resilience Fund: www.transformationprojectsd.org/trans-resili...
They provide microgrants to South Dakota families with trans kids who have to go out of state to receive care.
Flyer Image that reads “Northside needs you (yes you!) your friends and your family too” at the bottom of the flyer is the link to contribute to mutual aid.
From friend: linktr.ee/NorthsideMA - March 1 is approaching FAST. Share far and wide! Our neighbors in North Minneapolis have a BIG need! Help prevent eviction and get rent paid.
the rent fund for students at my alma mater has $36,000 in rent requests for tomorrow and only $7,500 in the bank
if we raised $10,600 with a crystal shrek what kind of crazy thing do i need to do to raise $28,500?
No matter where you live, if you have any capacity to volunteer, we have a lot of unpaid folks helping administer rent and skymiles donations, and we need more support.
Please read & boost this 🧵 from Minnesota (Mpls, specifically) about the earth shaking rent crisis we're experiencing due to the compounding impact of the violent federal occupation of our state by ICE/CBP/etc
& please help find donors who can afford to lift bigger amounts on emergency timelines 🚨

Here's another fund to boost, Minnesotans
Image of Lucy Laney Elementary with text that reads “The recent rise in immigration raids is creating lasting hardship for families in our community. With March 1st approaching, many families are facing rent and utility bills without steady income. Some parents have been detained and others have been unable to work out of fear - leaving households without their primary providers. The impact won’t end quickly. Missed work and mounting bills mean families need continued support to stay stable and together. All funds raised go directly to families in the Lucy Laney School community”
Please donate to this fund supporting families at Lucy Laney in North Minneapolis. March 1st is right around the corner and they NEED your support 💖

Rent for South Minneapolis family impacted by ICE. $2600 for 3 months of past due rent. Needed by February 28. venmo: offalcute
New mutual aid request (these aren’t going away, folks!):
I’m collecting funds for an immigrant family who are three months behind on their rent (not including March 😞). They need $3600 this week to avoid potential eviction. A generous funder has already pledged $1000.
Venmo: offalcute
boopgate meme of the games, without question 🤣
Please keep boosting to your networks outside of Minneapolis, we are getting it done, but it takes all hands!
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.
Operation Metro Love Thy Neighbor Hello Friends of Operation Metro Love Thy Neighbor! Many of our neighbors in Minneapolis are being targeted based on the color of their skin, their accent, or their country of origin. From a healthcare standpoint, this is leading to very scary outcomes, as patients are terrified to leave home and are foregoing necessary care in an effort to stay safe. For moms and babies, medical professionals scramble to meet these needs and to ensure patient safety. As neighbors and community members, we want to ensure these moms and babies have their needs met in terms of supplies, personal care items, and infant and toddler items. While it's a far cry from a baby shower, we are doing our best to ensure that our neighboring mamas have what they need in times of massive distress. All items purchased on this list will be delivered to me and then immediately sent out into the community for maximum impact. On behalf of all the mama and baby teams, we so appreciate your love and generosity.

We're seeing a drop off in newborn donations in Minneapolis. Birth workers are seeing small/early babies due to stress/food insecurity—ICE has not stopped—families still in desperate need of support. If you're able, here is a wishlist compiled by folks doing mutual aid

GREATER LONGFELLOW Neighbor Relief Fund Update We're seeing a clear challenge: the need is much greater than our initial goal. OUR CURRENT REALITY: $61,757 Unfulfilled Processed Requests Remaining 100+ Email Requests in the Queue NEIGHBORRELIEFFUND.ORG
GREATER LONGFELLOW Neighbor Relief Fund Update NEW GOAL: $250,000 If you're unable to donate again, one of the most meaningful ways you can help is by sharing this fundraiser, especially with those outside of Minnesota. NEIGHBORRELIEFFUND.ORG
GREATER LONGFELLOW Neighbor Relief Fund FROM A NEIGHBOR HELPED “...to everyone reading this and supporting us in any way-thank you. What you are doing is more than you can imagine. Your support doesn't just offer comfort; it sustains us, protects us, and in many ways saves us. And that is something the heart never forgets.” NEIGHBORRELIEFFUND.ORG
Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to the Greater Longfellow Neighbor Relief Fund! So far we have distributed $83k, but there are so many more Minnesota neighbors who need our help. We‘ve raised our goal to $250k and we need your help getting there. neighborrelieffund.org
btw if Canada wants to retaliate by burning the White House down again that's fine
And i say finals plural because i do not see the men’s, women’s, hockey, curling events as separate instances from my vantage point.
To fully explain my current relationship to sport it would take a dissertation length analysis. Nonetheless, these Olympics and those finals were historical. There will be VERY interesting documentaries/movies in the future.
This is a thread where you are can share places to donate in MN that are NOT in Minneapolis (unless North Minneapolis)
Saint Paul and outstate/greater MN.
Please follow directions for once. Please.
Friends, can you chip in to support our NE neighbor? He’s lost his family, and he’s staring down the barrel of an immigration hearing at Whipple next month gofund.me/39d8aaed4
Josmar Soza’s father has been in ICE custody since December 3, 2025 after he was kidnapped in MN. He was on his way to work and now his children are without a father. The funds will help pay for lawyer fees and family necessities.
