I 💜 Minneapolis. I go by Raquel but my bandmates call me The Haggard, Old Crone - whichever is easiest for you. Views are mine, but if they’re yours, too, we can share. She/her
I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.
It’s easy for this corrupt, power hungry administration to view someone like Ilhan as a threat to their need for obedience and control.
Our communities deserve to live with dignity, not fear. After Trump’s agents killed our neighbors & terrorized our communities, we’re pushing to allow the American public to sue ICE agents I’ll reintroduce the North STAR Act next session. Let’s win a DFL trifecta & get it done.
![Text reading “"On May 11th, that package passed the Senate, 34 to 33, meaning not one single Republican voted for it," Fateh said. "And in our tied House, the Republican leadership spent the session pretending the bill did not exist, that [Operation Metro Surge] had not happened, and saying that even if it did happen, Minnesotans had it coming."
Fateh said in Wednesday's conference the bill would've also banned federal immigration officers from wearing masks, barred them from detaining people in places like courthouses, daycares, hospitals and schools.
"Next year, when we come back into session with the new legislature, we will renew the fight to defend rights, restore local control and hold agents and their bosses accountable for what happened in the state of Minnesota, so that that can never be allowed to happen anywhere ever again,"
Fateh said.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5txvdlczqjl2oo3hxzkpra3z/bafkreiem3yicv5acdra5tciwft4gz6b4uc63ysgxircj6gd66aftllfbji)

I appreciate all the work @wedge.live does to bring this event to the Wedge & esp. Mueller Park every year. @marymoriarty.bsky.social is such a great choice for grand marshal! I should also point out that every restaurant I passed on Lyndale walking home was PACKED! Thanks for visiting, everyone!

What's starting in Minneapolis today is going to be just like the Broadview 6 case. A desperate attempt at a show trial pursued by dumb, vicious prosecutors performing for an audience of one. An attempt to discourage and scare people from fighting back. It's not going to work.
Just had to call an ambulance for a woman who was gassed 3 inches from her face and went into shock at the federal courthouse. no Warning no nothing. Horrific
This is Minneapolis: We’re still at it. Our neighbors still need help staying housed. I’m literally emailing millionaires to see if we can get support (bc donations from average income people have understandably slowed to a trickle). What a world.

After a trough of relatively less activity, that is fewer people calling me for help, I'm back up to 10 active habeas cases. I do not want to cause anyone undue alarm, but ICE has changed tactics and seems more likely to detain people when they go in for routine appointments with ICE.
Super-gratifying to see @ilhanmn.bsky.social’s office all decked out in the “We Keep Us Safe” shirts — they did do much for this community during the siege, and it wasn’t just campaign-year photo ops. They were our best customers & greatly helped Minneapolis schools mutual aid fundraiser.
Today, we are thrilled to announce that @ilhanmn.bsky.social is endorsing @christin-with-mpls.bsky.social (At Large), @shannon-for-d3.bsky.social (District 3) and @beccaforschools.bsky.social (District 5) for Minneapolis School Board.
When you’re the campaign director for @ilhanmn.bsky.social, you’ve got to meet the people where they’re at. And on convention day, that means you’ve got to keep on moving!
It takes two! When you have two big conventions for @ilhanmn.bsky.social over a weekend, it's good to have two great floor leads working tirelessly behind the scenes!
just getting hit with the reality that i spent the last four months fully immersed in a project and took on no client work and responded to no RFPs. and I am moving and having a quince for the kid this month. and paid my taxes. 😭 if you need a narrative or digital strategist, or a designer…hi!
Man, the effects of the ICE occupation are vast and ongoing. A family I am helping, like so many others, is trying to figure out how to rebuild their lives. Trying to make rent, needing to find work, adjusting to an existence without family members. There may be less ICE but these are huge wounds.
Rep. Ilhan Omar took an especially hands on approach to counting bodies during the walking subcaucus process at the SD61 DFL convention today. Delegates picked today will move on to the CD5 convention where Omar is seeking the party endorsement.
It’s a dark day in America when a sitting Member of Congress has to remind the president that Black people are not apes. I stand with Al Green.
Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib heckle Trump as he goes full fear-mongering white nationalist
We are creeping up on March, and so many families in Minnesota are going to be behind on their rent due to the ongoing occupation of our beautiful state.
With so many needs in the community right now, everyone is finding a way to help out. On Sunday, TCUP held a sold out show with longtime @ilhanmn.bsky.social fans @hippocampusbr.bsky.social at First Ave to raise money for impacted families and say ICE OUT!
Children are suffering in a for-profit prison. Send them home. Abolish ICE. And ban private, for-profit prisons forever.

We’ve paid rent for over 270 households so far in February and we currently have a waitlist that totals over $30,000. We distributed rents one by one. We can’t even think about March rent yet. You can help us here: gofund.me/5d4d1a571
I found out today that one of the largest firms in the state has >10% of their attorneys working basically full time on habeas petitions. If you aren't in the legal industry, that's basically unprecedented. And our bar is still in the early stages of mobilizing. The full efforts have yet to begin.

We have paid 5 families’ rent today to keep them housed for February! Help us keep this going!
