this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

WHY RENT STRIKE?
(PART 1)
ICE OUT
We can create an economic crisis shows that ICE is bad for the Twin Cities and ICE is bad for the economy.
EVICTION MORATORIUM
No evictions under occupation. This is the easiest action the Governor can take to care for Minnesotans.
RENT RELIEF
The legislature should open a so0 million rent reliet fund. It should come with strong tenant protections.
SOLIDARITY
If thousands of us who can pay our rent decided not to pay, we create a buffer around those who cannot pay, mucking up eviction courts and landlords' financials.

(PART 2)
ECONOMIC DISRUPTION
The rent is the biggest bill for most tenants, a major challenge in a moment of crisis, but also an opportunity for a different kind of leverage. Compared to other forms of economic disruption, like time-limited or corporation-specific boycotts, or calling out from a day of work, a rent strike could pose an unwieldy, unpredictable economic problem for capital, which could force a political response.

HOW WOULD A CITIES-WIDE
RENT STRIKE WORK?
This only works if it is real. The strike cannot be just vibes-based, or exist only on social media. We are committed to organizing a real base of people who are actually ready to withhold rent. tests (hich measure participation be tore ture would go on strike. Right now we are in the first phase, which is the strike drive. During this phase we assess our power. If we reach at least 10,000 commitments and we pass our other tests, we will call for strike authorization, which would occur in a meeting of Twin Cities Tenants on February 28.
Authorization is the last chance for our targets to meet our demands. If we are ready, and if they fail to do so, we strike on March 1.

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs.

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesiveβ€”because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about β€œWestern civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significantβ€”though not finalβ€”victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong.

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping. Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas.

ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.

Jonathan Ross was a firearms trainer and led a team that included multiple federal agencies. All this training didn't stop him from shooting Renee Nicole Good. His training *facilitated* the shooting.

No amount of training will solve the problem that ICE is a violent ethnic cleansing squad.

the best antidote to blackpilling is remembering that every video you see of an ICE thug abusing their power was recorded by an American who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of people they've likely never met and never will

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.

Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.

Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.

Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.
