Just madness out in the streets where these guys throw on their sirens and lights flying through neighborhoods at high speeds like this. Most don't even bother pulling over for them anymore because they do this so often. These guys circled the neighborhood over and over?

"FUCK ICE" "NOT ICE"

Some have put out barricades at attempts at calming the traffic, but doesn't seem to do much.

I’m writing this from Minnesota.

These are just a few things that may not be making the national or international news.

a beloved local donut shop Glam Doll Donuts across the street from where Alex Pretti died turned into a warming house and medic center for protestors building and maintaining the memorial site.

a 70yo independent bookstore owner DreamHaven Books down the street expressed his pain on camera, walked through a tear gas cloud, and his website crashed less than 24 hours later from too much business and donations.

the day after tear gas bombs destroyed a N-Mpls neighborhood sending a 6mo old baby to the hospital, at daybreak, a small church community cleaned up the mess of pepper balls, tear gas containers and trash so the neighbors didn’t have to wake up to the memories.

a local independent journalist Mercado Media pounding the streets everyday reporting things from the ground had a testicle removed and showed up two days later to walk with 75,000+ community members to walk the streets in -20 degree weather.

a local sex-positive adult-store The Smitten Kitten has completely transformed into a donation and distribution center.

a local pizza place Wrecktangle Pizza raised over $83K in less than a few days to support families that are sheltering in place.

tow-truck companies are donating their services to clean up the accidents and abandoned vehicles left by ICE and the city is waiving impound fees.

local multi-faith spiritual leaders are spearheading sit-ins at corporate headquarters such as Target and USBank to have deeper conversations with CEOs and boards of directors about community relief.

social workers are taking in children who came home from school with both their parents “disappeared.”

animal shelters and pet-fostering agencies are rescuing pets left alone for days or weeks after their humans were detained.

every restaurant, church, karate dojo, dance studio, school, barber shop, and other small business has created their own underground grassroots supportive network to protect their neighbors, get people to and from work, and raise funds to pay everyday bills.

women who are moms and work full-time jobs are donning reflective vests in shifts to stand watch at bus stops, city parks, and grocery store parking lots ini sub-zero temps to bear witness before going home to tuck their babies in at night.

the MN National Guard offered donuts, coffee, and hot cocoa to peaceful protesters the day after Alex Pretti died, reminding community that we are all in this together and they are here to keep the peace.

These are just a few examples. Stories like this are happening in the hundreds here, every single day!

Community is EVERYTHING!

This Substack community and the MN-Strong resistance has saved my mental health these last weeks.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you for giving a shit.

I love you.

This Minneapolis resident just said what everyone should be feeling right now:

“This started as a pretext about immigration and fraud… it’s WELL beyond that now.

It’s your 2nd Amendment, your 4th Amendment, your 6th Amendment.”

“We’re performing CPR on what may already be a corpse called the Constitution.”

Wake up. This isn’t just Minneapolis. It’s ALL of us.

I had a best friend in high school who quite literally friendship ghosted me one day and I have not heard from her since.

I've known a few girls who have been suddenly "dumped" by their best friend in jarring ways and its one of the oddest aspects of female relationships

No wonder Pinterest is full of AI generated garbage lately

How much Google can pay you if you start a Pinterest account

1,000 views = $5.35
10,000 views = $53.5
100,000 views = $535
1,000,000 views = $5,350
10,000,000 views = $53,500
100,000,000 views = $535,000

Here’s exactly how you do it (even if you know nothing):

Can't believe this tweet is over nine years old. Truly, one of the wisest things ever tweeted. It gets proven true time and time again.

I need everyone to know that sprinter Noah Lyles just pulled out a Blue Eyes White Dragon at the US Olympic trial. Absolute legend.
