Eyes on Minnesota

My heart wants to spin a delicate filigree of dreams for a brighter future, yet the horrors persist.

I’m from Minnesota, and my family still lives there. Not gonna lie: shit’s bad right now.

Via Bill Corbett, performer of MST3K‘s Crow T. Robot:

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

More detail from Wes Burdine:

I didn't write this for people in the Twin Cities. I wrote this to everyone else, my feeble attempt to try to be witness to the occupation of Minnesota and the chaos of every single day right now. open.substack.com/pub/wburdine…

What makes Minnesota different from past federal actions (thread):

The thing that really makes Minneapolis different, other than the fact that they straight up murdered someone, is that they've dropped all pretense that this is just about immigration. The state has declared war on its own people, or at least those people who live in cities.

What is to be done, if you’re not in Minnesota?

Spread the news of what’s really happening. Make art. Provide material support, if you can.

The night is long and the path is dark, but we’ll make it through this, together.
