A lot of people are being harmed by the current administration. Let's mobilize & help them.

I'll pick a Trump order/policy weekly & highlight relevant orgs we can collectively help w/our money & time. Every little bit adds up.

DID YOU KNOW?

If you have Delta Sky Miles, you can donate them to help a kidnapped-and-released person fly home!

They are set free on the streets of El Paso or another Texas town with no phone, no money, nothing at all. Your miles can get them back to their loved ones!

And this is obvious to me, but in case it needs saying:

The demand is abolish ICE. Defund ICE. Sever all ties with ICE.

We need the violence to end entirely. And that includes the violence of deportations.

Oh, I thought of more:

Spend time researching companies that enable ICE and spread the word about boycotts. Use your own positions of power and influence to chip away at the enablers too. And here’s a guide on how to do that:

If you’re feeling like none of this stuff is big enough, know that it’s these kinds of small actions done by hundreds of thousands of Minnesotans that built the resistance you’re seeing.

Doing something is always better than nothing. Just do something and trust it will inspire others to do the same

And donate.

Every time they kill one of us, help us make the resistance even stronger.

I’ll start.

Call your reps. Call five friends to talk about what happened—be in solidarity with each other and use that solidarity to start building something bigger. Attend an ICE Watch training. Combat disinformation by sharing the truth.

We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.
The frigid Twin Cities temperatures will hurt the homeless; so do not gloat about the impact on ICE without also stepping up here:
If you're still able to help Minnesota, @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social is always accepting donations. $10 buys a pack of handwarmers. If you were given Amazon gift cards this year for Christmas, you can shop their Amazon wishlist: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

"The vast majority of men are only willing to engage in public violence if they feel like the people around them will approve of — and reward them for — that violence.

ICE Watch works because it surrounds men seeking approval with people loudly expressing their disapproval."
For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

I love Rebecca DOWN. Known as Dollar Tree Dinners.

Her “Meal in a Bag” is meant to provide ppl with a complete meal that is $8 or less, is shelf stable, & can be made without access to a full kitchen. I love this as a direct aid option. Good for neighbors & elders who can’t/wont go to a pantry.

Heartfelt thanks to those who supported their neighbors with donations to food banks. I wish I could match them all! I'm matching the first $1K and reposted all the orgs. If you're looking for ways to help, check my feed and let the example of these generous folks inspire you. ❤️
Following Ada's lead, I'd like to do the same.

Reply to me w/ a receipt of a donation to a food bank of your choice, and I'll also match your donations, up to $500. 🍎🍌🥬🍞🥩❤️
Alright, team Bluesky: US foodbanks are about to have staggering demand when SNAP ends Nov 1st. We need to help them prepare.

I'll match donations: DM or reply with a receipt showing your own donation to a food bank of your choice, and I'll donate to match, up to a total of $500. 💪🥗🍲🥚🥧🥪🥣🥛

At the food pantry I volunteer at we were absolutely swamped today and by many first timers. We ran out of whole categories of food. Please donate cash to your local organization if you at all can.

There are elections going on this year in many places that can flip power (like Virginia governor).

Consider volunteering your time to help with an upcoming election, or contribute to organizations making change or supporting those at most risk under Trump.
Serious questions for white folks who were fired up about attending your local #NoKings gatherings yesterday:

Why aren’t you marching today? Or tomorrow? Next week?

You realize Project 2025 fully anticipates the occasional mass nuisance and indeed, permits them as a way to appease the woke masses?

In America, we don’t have kings – it’s kind of our whole thing. 🚫👑

Millions turned out for No Kings in June— one of the largest protest days in U.S. history. On October 18th, we’ll be even louder, stronger, and we won’t stop here.

There are a tremendous number of ICE watchers out in Rogers Park this afternoon after some early morning abductions.

People are guarding churches and patrolling alleyways. Ran into Alderperson Hadden. First timers tell us they're primed and ready to use their whistles.
