How does the rest of America ever begin to thank the citizens

[Marie Marie]

of Minneapolis or Minnesota in general for their courage and endurance in standing up to ICE and all of Trump's Federal Government Goonies that inflicted this crap on their city. They are out there, day after day, in freezing temperatures, getting abused and shot at by psycho agents and they don't back down.

They are not only fighting for their neighborhoods, their city and their state, they are making a difference for all us facing this tyranny under Trump. And they are winning in changing the narrative and the hearts and minds of Americans. They are making a difference - for all of us.

I want to send them a truckload of hot coffee, tea, soup or stew. I want to give warm hugs to the victims and the families of all who have suffered under this hostile takeover of their lives. I want to say THANK YOU but those words aren't enough. I know that I will never forget what they have done for America. You are all such incredible people.

1. I second that emotion.

They are so endearing in interviews. A Stalwart bunch!

Thank you, MN and Mpls.

2. Their food bank shelves are most likely empty

Maybe our posters from there could help with some location information

3. Thank Minnesota? Master List!

Stand With Minnesota!

This is a list of all organizations supporting immigrants, detainees, families, legal help, providing everything from Diapers to pet food to those most terrorized by ICE, CBP, Co President Miller and the The Stink. Anything you can do will be welcome! They are here for the long haul, and the need is too!

Organize your own community, Because sooner or later , ICE/CBP will be hanging out at your local elementary school!

7. thank you

This is a "thank you" back. I live on the border of Minneapolis and St. Paul. My family and I have been out in the cold streets protesting and contributing to those afraid to venture out to get food. We have attended vigils for Melissa and Mark Hortman and for Renee Good and now Alex Pretti. I have videoed an ICE arrest on my block where my face was captured by their facial recognition camera, so I am now in their "domestic terrorist" data base. We are not paid to do these things and we do not do them for praise. But being SEEN and recognized as doing something good is empowering! That means that this movement will not just stay here, but will spread. Prince said that the Revolution would start in Minnesota. (He loved this place, too. God, how we miss him!) Please just take heart that we the people have power that can be used for great good. We can still save our country in this our 250th anniversary year. Help people register to vote and volunteer to serve at the polls. Get to know your neighbors and look out for each other. Speak up when you see injustice or corruption. Protect the Constitution and the Rule of Law. Don't be afraid of those who don't look like you. Exhibit basic human decency for your children and for your community. And thank you for noticing us up here in the North Star State.
