Reject the Mayor's Proposal for a "Cop City" in Minneapolis! On March 26th, Minneapolis City Council will vote on funding for a new $38,000,000+ law enforcement training facility, proposed on a 4-acre plot in the Windom neighborhood (Ward 11), next to a cemetery and a church.
The Vichy Democrats—Governor Walz, Mayor Frey, and their ilk—have cut a deal with the feds: they will arrest noise demonstrators keeping ICE awake at night, sweep the blockades impeding ICE operations in the streets, and prosecute rapid responders confronting ICE in every corner of the Twin Cities.
🧵 THREAD: 🚨The Prairieland Case is a five-alarm fire for the right to protest in America🚨 If you care about your neighbors being terrorized by ICE — and about your own freedom to dissent — you need to understand what's happening in Texas right now. /1
From Standing Rock to Fort Snelling: support the encampment outside the Whipple detention center!
Get to the Twin Cities from February 25th to March 1st for the WEEK OF ACTION.

The Beautiful Idea@beautifulidea.bsky.social · 6mo agoAs students across the country walkout and a general strike roars in #Minneapolis as part of ongoing #ICEOut actions, we sat down with grassroots organizers in the twin cities to talk about the nuts and bolts of resisting authoritarian ethnic-cleaning. thebeautifulidea.show/ice-vs-ice-o...
the police did nothing but help ICE yesterday, just like today, just like tomorrow bsky.app/profile/minn...
Minneapolis Spring@minneapolis-spring.bsky.social · 6mo agoThe resilience from yesterday and through this entire occupation has been nothing short of incredible. ICE cannot defeat this

Really reflecting on "dream of spring" as a reminder that a post-ICE world has existed long before this winter, and will exist again
Minneapolis Spring@minneapolis-spring.bsky.social · 6mo agoSo many friends popping up all over
SUBMITTED TO US: Bloomington and 35th was held for 7 hours, withstanding two sweeps. Neighbors and friends re-erected the blockade within minutes after both sweeps - before police had even retreated - thanks to the support of neighbors who dropped off more supplies and hot drinks. .
Children are carrying terrible trauma because of ICE. "I apologize for the inconvenience....I'm raising funds for my father."
Minneapolis Spring@minneapolis-spring.bsky.social · 6mo agoA young girl came to the blockade and of course we're gonna do mutual aid at the function :) Help us help them! www.gofundme.com/f/ayuda-para...
These blockade are such a beautiful form of community protection.
Minneapolis Spring@minneapolis-spring.bsky.social · 6mo agoLike....truly all over
LOVE all these makeshift traffic circles popping up in Minneapolis! Great way to literally slow down the ICE siege and occupation of Minneapolis, St Paul and the surrounding areas. T/y @minneapolis-spring.bsky.social for sharing and your work! @wesburdine.bsky.social @normcharlatan.bsky.social

H/t @jollygoodginger.bsky.social, OPERATION DILDO BLITZ IS A GO
Minneapolis residents when MPD tears down multiple blockades and the people just rebuild them immediately
Reports from the front lines of the filter blockades
Ambulance just easily passed through; the entire blockade and brass band went silent so traffic could be organized for them to pass quickly.
Minneapolis Spring@minneapolis-spring.bsky.social · 6mo agoPolice came back to the barricade at 35th & Bloomington with more forces, pushed community defenders onto the sidewalks, and stole equipment. But the defenders immediately return and rebuild
