I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them. At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

this is what we folks here in the twin cities metro & across MN would really like you to understand — 1. they’re still here harming & destabilizing our communities 2. the reverberations will be felt for a very long time 3. even if they all left right now, there’s still a huge crisis to address

I do think there’s a certain type of Democrat that realizes it’s possible we are dealing with a perfect storm where almost any Democrat will win, and are terrified we might nominate radical candidates who will actually engage in needed change instead of status quo corporate centrist bullshit.

Every day Chuck Schumer says we need minor reforms to ICE, it’s a “fuck you” to the base, which is demanding abolition. Schumer thinks it’s his job to temper the demands of Democrats and keep the party moderately conservative. It’s an anti-democratic impulse and political malpractice.

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because: 1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it. 2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

That trust will take immense time to rebuild, and the work of that can't even start until Walz, Frey, et al admit they've lost it to begin with. I'm not gonna hold my breath for that. Just like we've had to protect ourselves, we're going to have to rebuild on our own. That's all. Here's a good cat.

MEANWHILE our "leaders" are going to take their victory lap. They're going to crow like they stood shoulder to shoulder with us when all they've done is told us all the ways they can't help, but stay peaceful in the face of state violence. Whatever trust there was is shattered.

Raff / Riff Raff Designs @riffraffmn.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

That's all been an assault to the body and soul of our community. We are going to come out of this battered, exhausted, and depleted. Rebuilding is going to be hard, expensive, and in some ways impossible. Many of our neighbors will never come home. We'll never even know who all of those losses are.

Raff / Riff Raff Designs @riffraffmn.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

People and small businesses have scraped the bottom of their pockets to keep each other afloat. They've stood out in freezing cold, in clouds of fucking gas, outside preschools, mosques, restaurants, and they've done it despite the fear, anger, and grief of it all.

Raff / Riff Raff Designs @riffraffmn.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

I don't believe for a solitary second ICE is actually leaving but even if they do, the damage is close to irreparable. We've watched our neighbors abducted and murdered, our rights trampled, our neighborhoods turned into occupied land.

Read this whole astonishing document. it should be taught as an object lesson in what volunteering to assist a fascist government does to your mind, body, and soul.

And I hear the concerns about all the energy that this is causing the DoJ to expend, but, with respect,
some
of it is of your own making by not complying with orders.
Do you understand that?

MS. LE: I do. And I share the same concern with you, Your Honor. I am not white, as you can see. And my
family's at risk as any other people that might get picked
up too, so
I share the same concern, and I took that concern
to heart. But, again, fixing a system, a broken system, I

don't have a magic button to do it. I don't have the power
or the voice to do it. I only can do it within the ability
and the capacity that I have.
And every cases I touch, I give it 100 percent.
Never in my mind that one petitioner is more than the
others. They all important to me. So -- but there are
certain things that I -- it takes ten e-mails to get a
release condition to be corrected. It take two escalation
and a threat that I will walk out for that to be corrected.
I took it to heart, and the agency is slowly
seeing what the Court are doing. And it takes time for them
to learn the lesson too and abide and comply with the Court.
I and Ms. Voss here working days and night. Our e-mail just
never stops.
And as you can see, I -- I would -- I would love
to undo all of this stuff because no one want to be in jail. And actually, honestly, you know, being in jail a day to
get -- catch up with sleep is not bad right now with all the
hours I have to put in into this job.

The headline should be, "DHS to keep 2,000 immigration officers in Minnesota." Instead, it seems the entirety of the traditional media went with, "DHS to withdraw 700 immigration officers from Minnesota." This presser worked like a charm.
