At this point, I don't think the democratic party platform is even about trying to turn centrist voters so much as convincing republican legislators be nice to them.

ICE is now posing as bail agents. If you are approached by someone claiming to be a bail agent, you have the right to ask to see their license and state-issued ID & bond documentation authorizing them to take the person. Minnesota maintains a statewide list of approved bail bond agents online.

Daily reminder: There are still patrols. They are still taking people. They smashed into a car near me and just took the driver after demanding papers from everyone. This is not over. It is still ethnic cleansing. ABOLISH ICE

I grew up in the northeast; went to school there and then decided to raise my family somewhere friendly with less pressure on the kids So with razor sharp instincts, we settled in minnesota thinking we would be far from newsworthy action

This is not "Immigration Policy." This is not "Law enforcement." This is not "Keeping the Peace." This is what ethnic cleansing looks like. CALL IT BY WHAT IT IS, MEDIA. History will remember who did not have the spine to call this out.

@defend612.bsky.social is a wonderful resource for those trying to help. You know what else would help? More eyes on ICE in Minneapolis. After shooting Alex, they still did their patrols and still took people for quota. So if you have clout, please for the love of democracy, head to MN and help.

‼️Our relatives cannot shelter safely outside due to ICE escalation. MIWRC offers a culturally grounded low-barrier sanctuary; services, warmth, food, safety, & support obtaining tribal ID’s/documents. This is survival. This is sovereignty. We take care of us. Help here: bit.ly/Healinglight
‼️ URGENT

Our unsheltered Indigenous relatives need a warm place to survive.

While ICE terrorizes Minneapolis, detaining Native people who are citizens of this land since time immemorial, the Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center is holding the line.

Our people cannot shelter safely outside. MIWRC offers a culturally grounded, low-barrier sanctuary in the heart of the Phillips neighborhood.

The Minnesota Indian Women’s Resource Center warming shelter is open. But keeping it open costs money.

They need $45,000 to maintain operations as this crisis continues.

This week:
→ One person died from exposure
→ Four Oglala Sioux tribal members were detained by ICE
→ Renee Good was killed by an ICE agent
→ Temps are plunging to dangerous, deadly levels

Beyond warmth, food, and safety, MIRC staff will help guests obtain tribal IDs and documentation. Right now, that paperwork can be the difference between freedom and detention. This is about survival. This is about sovereignty. This is about taking care of our own when the government won’t.

Donate now: https://bit.ly/Healinglight 

Every dollar keeps the doors open.
Share widely. Miigwech 🌷🪶
