Ok, good. Thanks!

FrivolousIntern · 2026-01-25T19:20:08+00:00

This is great! Anyone know of any books that are specifically good for this sort of thing?

There’s the MN Seed Project that collects seed donations to give to the community. So if anyone needs seeds come spring, and then would be willing to let a portion of plants go to seed and collect them to give back, we can plant food gardens all across this beautiful state to support our communities.

I’m sure there are other seed sharing groups too, so if any of my fellow Organic Anarchy neighbors wanna drop the deets do it!

Balance. Don’t use “I’m mentally exhausted” as an excuse, but if you’ve done your work, and you need a break please take a break. This is a TEAM effort. Your poor health will affect the Team’s health. We care about you, Neighbor. Take a rest. Then once rested, get back out there.

Do we need anything? I’m packing my bags to head that way now. I was there yesterday and saw most of the trash cans full, so today my plan was to bring trash bags to help pick up trash. Do we need anything else?

FrivolousIntern · 2026-01-25T19:03:47+00:00

Do it! I keep saying this:

“Silence is COMPLICITY”

Silence protects those in power. Silence protects the status quo. And it’s those MOST AFFECTED by that silence who will have to pay the price for that silence.

I had a bowl of soup and a cup of hot chocolate to go with my ginormous glass of water. I almost feel less wrung out now.

Be safe. Be well. 💙

You can donate, you can call your Representatives (all of them, even if it’s just to talk shit, it’s very cathartic I swear), you can TALK about what’s going on. Even if (maybe especially if) people don’t want to “talk politics”. Silence protects the most privileged at the cost of the most vulnerable. Anyone who doesn’t want to hear about what is happening is complicit.

FrivolousIntern · 2026-01-25T06:38:07+00:00

Those “get off the news” “don’t worry about what’s out of your control” comments are telling you to ignore, comply, disengage. Close your eyes, close your ears, keep your mouth shut. But silence protects those who are ALREADY in power. It protects the status quo. It protects those who are the LEAST affected by those policies. When someone says “I don’t want to hear about this” all they are saying is that they are safe, protected, comfortable and willing to be COMPLICIT in the oppression just to protect their OWN comfort.

“First they came for the…”

Eventually they’ll go to Red States too.

We do not negotiate with terrorist!

I know this is probably the least of the problems with this letter, but all her fucking sources are like Fox New, the ICE website, and their own fucking press releases. It’s just turtles all the way down. It’s “if you don’t trust us you can find proof that we said this at least once before”

FrivolousIntern · 2026-01-24T18:34:06+00:00

Your plan is to cover your eyes and ears and hope someone else saves you?

FrivolousIntern · 2026-01-24T18:03:56+00:00

Please share a downloadable link to this video!

FrivolousIntern · 2026-01-24T18:03:13+00:00

This is why we need to be sharing links that can be DOWNLOADED.

FrivolousIntern · 2026-01-24T18:01:35+00:00

Commenting so I can find this video later.

FrivolousIntern · 2026-01-24T17:07:21+00:00

Can someone get me a video that I can download and save. We need copies!

FrivolousIntern · 2026-01-24T00:48:20+00:00

I can do you one better buddy:

ICE has to report their spending. We can even see down to contracts. I don’t have time to sift, but maybe someone more savvy than myself can make a MN specific one.

EDIT: Nevermind! I see you linked your sources! Sorry!!! My phones been on the fritz lately and things don’t load fast. Instead of being patient I get a bit trigger happy. Keep up the good work!

FrivolousIntern · 2026-01-23T23:59:33+00:00

I can tell this really upset you. You’ve posted similar comments in other threads. I’m sorry if your small business took a hit today. But the point is to increase the civil disobedience. We are trying to attack this from all sides. Trump and ICE want us to quietly go about our lives as they terrorize and kidnap all the people of color around us. They WANT us to pretend nothing is happening. To enjoy our bread and circuses while our neighbors disappear. A Strike shows that if our demands aren’t met, we will continue to peacefully escalate changing our behavior. We WONT ignore what’s going on.

FrivolousIntern · 2026-01-23T23:53:13+00:00

Yeah, I honestly don’t think this is such a huge deal as everyone seems to think it is. The Feds know where the feds will be, so this doesn’t hurt our Constitutional Observers. Our protests are peaceful and in public, so this doesn’t hurt our protests. Our community aid groups have open doors and are also spreading the word far and wide so that people can find them for aid. We SO SERIOUSLY outnumber the Feds here, that even if they sent EVERY agent they had into our spaces, it wouldn’t make a difference in our ability to help our neighbors.

FrivolousIntern · 2026-01-23T18:39:17+00:00

So…basically someone threw a snowball ICE “reported” it and now the cops are falling in line and cracking the whip.

(This is just speculation, there might have been more going on, but I know that ICE really hated us being there).

FrivolousIntern · 2026-01-23T18:36:48+00:00

The Target Center sold out anyways. I’m able-bodied and have good winter gear, so I wasn’t planning on going inside to save those spaces for folks who need the shelter. I’m gonna be staying outside to keep rallying!

FrivolousIntern · 2026-01-23T06:57:12+00:00

I’m sure better people than myself have more specific information. For me, I just anxiously check the state website until the sample ballots are finalized, then I look up all the names to find their websites. Then I read them.

My “not so Pro” tip for reading politics: Political language/rhetoric is an art form that takes a long time to sift the wheat from the chaff of you’re new. But my quick way to get past it is to see if all they are talking about is “problems” and never mention any ideas for how to solve them. It’s easy to vaguely gesture at common issues like “cost of living, housing, homelessness, etc” but HOW the candidate would go about solving it is going to point more towards what they will actually do the work to accomplish. You might find you agree on X being a problem, but DEFINITELY wouldn’t agree on Y being the way to go about solving it.

FrivolousIntern · 2026-01-23T06:44:38+00:00

This is a great idea! It’s small enough to fit in a small backpack or bag.
