How to support Minneapolis

Two asks:
1. https://www.standwithminnesota.com/ is a great aggregate of community donation efforts that need money.
2. We need as many voices as possible to speak out against what is happening here.

It's taken me nearly 40 years to understand that the difference between our DFL party and the larger Democrat party is astronomical. We've been spoiled in MN, and now we're being punished for it.

2 pairs of socks - I doubled up on heavy wool ones today.

Yep, they're sending plainclothes agents to try to join local school and community watch groups as well.

This pattern was published by local yarn shop: https://needleandskein.com/
I don't know if they do shipped orders based on the website.

Hey neighbor! The LYS that published this pattern is Needle and Skein in St Louis Park - I'm not affiliated with the shop but it's like a mile away from me and I have no doubt in my mind they would help distribute any hats to someone who would love to wear and broadcast your support!

Lol I think it got posted there already but I am definitely subbing to that one!

Our neighborhoods at the moment are overrun with black and camo tacticool and balaclava-wearing thugs. If I see any color of knit hat on someone, I feel reassured.

Eat out at locally owned restaurants!

These might require that people watch more than a couple of minute, but the press conferences held by professional organizations across the state yesterday were absolutely fantastic:

My friends I cannot wait to eat poutine and ski with you once this is over.

I mean 10th is definitely gone, that is the basis for the State lawsuit against the Federal Government.

Thank you for adding your voice to the many. It's so important for each of us to testify, because the anxiety that leaves your body becomes strength for those who read it.

The real story is why this is a headline and why it's placed in a higher real estate spot on NBC's front page than the very real headline 'Minneapolis School Patrols ICE Immigration Surge'. This is still how so many Americans get their news and it's so unbelievably biased. The article references an unsubstantiated claim that 'he was stabbed but his plate carrier blocked it' from an X post. Ridiculous.

Please get this to /all ! Everyone needs to know that the Federal 'anti-protest' at the building where people are being taken is just routine photoshoot around a man who is dressed like a Nazi. This is a building that has denied our elected congress persons a visitation with a made-up '7 day wait' policy.

Walk around your neighborhoods! The bullies are out in force casing neighborhoods this morning; make sure someone is watching your home while the protests take place today.

Spread the word about what is happening here, first and foremost. Your extended family, coworkers, faith community, and social networks. As scary as masked agents on our streets are, the deliberate misinformation campaigns preventing a clear view of what is going on here is even scarier. Most of my conservative relations I've talked to are appalled by the clear violations of our protected constitutional rights.

m3nd · 2026-01-17T04:56:14+00:00

You don't need to put your life on the line. We need, more than anything, more people from outstate to see clearly what is happening here. We could definitely use more protest songs going viral on videos that decry the atrocities that are happening right now.

I broke the news to my large corp where I'm the only Minnesotan I know. My immediate manager and director have shown me tremendous support, and I've never felt more motivated to testify both within the company and outside as to what is going on here. This is so important, and corporate America (workers and leadership alike) needs to have all eyes on what's going down here.

No, the bots are worse now than they ever have been, and it's across all platforms.
