Hi everyone -- there is a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow to protest what the Trump administration and DHS are doing to our community. In solidarity with the action, I am going to donate my revenue from tmrw's newsletter to People over Papers, the Midway-Hamline Diaper Bank, & Every Meal. (1/2)

Thank you to everyone who is risking their safety and contributing their time and money to protect our neighbors. If you are so inclined, please check out Stand With Minnesota (standwithminnesota.com) to find a way to help. And no one start any beefs with Will Stancil. (2/2)

A guy that Bluesky hates due to frequently bad political takes. However, he's been out on the ground in MN in whatever capacity he can help. A lot of Bluesky has still been trying to dunk on him more rather than just leaving him be while he's doing objective good

Protests are great, but without a straight fwd demand how do we measure effectiveness? Try demanding the end of the racist Kavanaugh Stops that have made 10s of millions of Americans 2bd Class citizens, subject to "show me your papers" based on appea7, language or line of work. Let's get a Win.

Genuine question. How does this hurt the administration? I'm all for supporting any attempts to fight back, but I don't see why Trump will care about this strike. Is there a good explanation anywhere?

tl;dr, it's not meant to hurt someone (like striking for higher wages), but meant to be a single day of active solidarity. The feds and their crony Emmer claim it's just a few outsider malcontents. This is meant to show no, this is Minnesota, and Minnesotans are standing together.

It doesn't matter if Trump sees it or not. It matters that the families in hiding realize every business on their block is shouting as one that what's being done to them is wrong.

Incidentally, has anyone done a safety check on Amy Klobucher to see if she’s ok? Is she showing up on the back of MILK CARTONS anywhere? The ONLY press I see is her considering a run for governor. If I were a Minnesotan, I’d tell her “when we hear from you EVERY DAY ripping Ice & Krusty Noem

You don’t need to bring receipts. She’s the Kyrsten Sinema of Chuck Schumer’s. Just a blob filling a chair. Thanks for trying to wake her up. She apparently gets hostile if it’s her nap time?

We need to be doing a national general strike at least 1x/month until Orangina is gone gone gone. And with him ICE and Brain Worm and Pammy Jo and Kashyap and and and . . .

Aaron, sincere questions. Is there a way to help small businesses? What clothing stores/jewelry stores can people buy from? What gift certificates can we buy to help some of those companies? Basically, what GOOD local companies like Penzeys can people support from afar?

Prayers of protection for first responders, Paramedics are putting their safety on the line to help people who have been assaulted by ICE, they rush in to help even though they might get shot by ICE. There are some really decent police in MN also who put their lives on the line to stand for decency🙏
