Shame on any Minnesota campaign that has been trafficking in anti-Somali bigotry. Looking at you, friend of the mayor, Anders Folk.

The last time the president of the United States explicitly threatened our Somali neighbors, our city leaders held a press conference in response, expressing full support. I hope they do the same again. It would be nice if Amy Klobuchar joined them.

There are about 100,000 people in Minnesota who are of Somali descent. A little over half were born outside the US, the rest were born here. So, citizens. And of those who are foreign born, the majority are naturalized citizens. The president is advocating violence against US citizens.

Haven Watch raised $1.6 million dollars. That’s a lot of money for a brand new grassroots org. They did heroic work this winter. I hope they follow through & help support mutual aid outside the Appleton gates. It truly is hours from any city with resources. www.gofundme.com/f/safe-haven...

Sometimes I get weepy, thinking about what’s happened in a couple generations, removed from fighting the Nazis. FWIW, the town is genuinely divided 50/50. There’s work being done to try to grow resistance to the facility.

Dear gawd I hope you’re right. It’s not him so much as an individual. It’s the powerful people that will take advantage of his bluster. We could not have imagined the Surge before it happened. (Some could, those that fled dictatorships) I think we can’t imagine what force can hit us again.

I am not a huge fan of indivisible but these are some individuals putting real and concrete energy into detainee and visiting families support. There’s just not enough local people of good conscience in that tiny community. I donated. Join me. No one is stopping this from opening.

Indivisible Twin Cities is a 501c4 that’s the fiscal sponsor. I know some of the locals OTG out in Appleton. They don’t have the infrastructure for what gigantic mutual aid effort this will take. They need seed money to get off the ground. Amazon Wish List if you do Bezos shit:

Are you thinking through the worst case scenarios of the midterms? Because BEST CASE is Dems win statewide and nationally, then in usual fashion will do nothing to change our fascist empire. That’s if he accepts the results of the election. He’s broadcasting that he won’t. What will you do?

Hoping some of you Strib fans can write an LTE supporting our Somali neighbors. Because this is another way they’re going to escalate a renewed action in Minnesota.

That happened. Is happening. I wish it was more of a discussion, rather than gas prices. I get it. It’s all people care about, their wallets. But the horrors of mass deportation should be mentioned by people running for office in Minnesota , maybe?

And every day we heard agonizing screams as people were taken from their families, cars abandoned in the middle of an intersection. People in hiding, schools had to cancel classes and switch to online for half their students.

Looking at the January timeline. Jan 7 - they killed Renee Good, later the same day Bovino/CBP attacked Roosevelt HS Jan 14 - they shot Julio Sosa-Celis, tear gassed North Jan 20- they took Liam Ramos in his bunny hat Jan 23 - Largest General Strike in state history Jan 24 -they killed Alex Pretti

Naturally, since she was a poet, the poetry section in the Rebel Loon Archives chapter about Renee Good is really moving. This section of a long poem by V.M. Stone really hit me

Minneapolis - world's largest small town, haha,
I know folks who played DnD with Philando Castile.
I went to a party thrown by Winston Smith.
I know Daunte Wright's teachers, I was twenty blocks away when he died, and
even on the other side someone mentioned,
"hey, I wonder
if we met that shooter the church one, y'know? some queer event maybe, ages ago, I dunno,
but the girlfriend's on my friends list, you came with me, right? Did we see? Should we have seen?"
we Forrest Gump our way through massacres now, pinging off atrocities till we are pinball smooth, slapped into action and helpless to stop.
I don't know what to do with this momentum, I'm no longer even sure that it's mine. I want out of this car,
I want everyone out of the car. it seems a little thing to pick someone up,
until you measure out the distance.

Amazing how many artists doing work about the Surge were inspired by Guernica.

From The Rebel Loon Archives
“Get the Fuck Out of Minneapolis”
Guernica inspired piece - but the animals and agonized humans are all skeletons
CASEY SLACK is the artist

Artists document what history might forget.
Long before news reached millions instantly, artists recorded wars, political violence, migration, and resistance.
Their work helps future generations understand not only what happened, but how people experienced it.
