Roses are red,
They look nice on a shrine
Here is the skull,
Of St. Valentine.

From Rapid Response to Revolutionary Social Change Participants in the rapid response networks in the Twin Cities describe their experiences and reflect on how these neworks could contribute to revolutionary social change.

Never forget that it was decentralized, autonomous, grassroots direct action that achieved this victory.

Not politicians, parties, or petitioning.

Let this be the first in a series of victories in which we drive out all the forces of repression and tear down all the structures of oppression.

Jews in Minneapolis are holding a Havdalah service tonight (7:30-8 pm ET) to come together as a Jewish community to find hope and strength in our tradition.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.

You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest.

Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.
