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)

Here is a good explanation of how general strikes can give power back to the people. If enough of us participate, the ruling (upper) class has to concede somehow. minnesotareformer.com/briefs/frida...
do you mean THIS @klobuchar.senate.gov ?? Yeah. Big disappointment. 🤮 bsky.app/profile/erb2...
Five more years. Such a terrible disappointment. Back in Feb I (and some 8 others, including 2 pastors) tried to go to her Mpls office to express dismay. We were turned away, and had fucking Homeland Security called on us. K9 units, no less. Fuck @klobuchar.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com
BTW, here's the receipts, this is the actual event I attended when her office called Homeland Security on a dozen polite constituents, half in clerical garb, just to ask her to show a spine. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...
Just donated to both immigrant nonprofits. Thanks for the standwithminnesota.com link!
I donated to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. www.ilcm.org
Donated to the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund via Women's Foundation of Minnesota. Thank you @atrupar.com for sharing!
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🙏
