"Continuum of Care"
is the federal government’s flagship program to support state and local governments and non-profits in funding housing and other services for individuals at risk of or experiencing homelessness.
The program is built on the principle that getting unhoused people housed can get them on a path to address other challenges.
But in the past months, the Trump administration has tried to issue sweeping policy shifts to the program,
some of which…

Wenn ihr Mitarbeiter einstellt, mit denen ihr noch nie persönlich interagiert habt und wahrscheinlich auch nicht mal regelmässig per Videokonferenz, dann kann es gut sein, dass sie gar nicht sind, wen sie vorgeben zu sein.
Eigentlich keine überraschende Erkenntnis. Ausser für Big-Tech-Firmen.

"Open land represents the future in its purest form — after all, every place was no place at some point." 😑 This is such a distilled expression of settler-colonial mindset. No, we do not need "new" cities, we need to fix up the ones we've got.

Twin Cities postal workers with the "National Association of Letter Carriers" (NALC) Branch 9
gathered at the post office on
Lake Street in South Minneapolis on January 18 to demand U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) discontinue its use of postal property—and leave Minnesota
Postal workers are seeing the effects of ICE’s activity on the communities they serve.

In case anyone was wondering about the relevance of #LandBack in the current moment, via CrimeThinc an article on the Minneapolis resistance states:
"""
The Whipple, a federal building in Fort Snelling on the outskirts of the Minneapolis and St. Paul, has long been a regional headquarters for ICE, having previously housed other federal agencies. The complex is located across the street from a National Guard base, down the road from a military base, and next to the preserved fort itself. The fort sits on the sacred site of the convergence of two rivers. It was one of the earliest sites of colonization in the area; at one time, it was a concentration camp holding native Dakota people.
"""
If at any point in the past you ever felt that maybe Native soverignty was a niche issue, or so far from being realized that other causes were more important or relevant, things like this are a good reminder that that cause: overturning the colonial order, is the *same* cause as any meaningful change from the fascist status quo. Things like a "return to democracy" aren't necessarily bad, but the rot runs to the root of this nation, and any intervention that doesn't go that deep is going to leave us right back in this situation again later on.
The fact that ICE is detaining Native Americans is not at all a mistake given their white supremacist aims.

This is a really good question from @…. The first thing I keep telling everyone in other cities who wonders how they can help, what they can do:
Get organized NOW. Meet your neighbors NOW. Get your neighbors set up with secure messaging NOW. Form multiple hyper-local neighborhood social groups NOW. Organize a block picnic or community craft night or repair workshop or whatever NOW. Get contact info for the human beings who physically show up for neighborhood events NOW.
Form all those local connections ASAP, so that they’re there when you need them. The hardest lines of communication to establish will be the ones with the people closest to you. If you get local lines open in advance, you’ll be in a far, far better place.

The U.S. Department of Justice said Sunday it is investigating a group of protesters in Minnesota who disrupted services at a church where a local official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement apparently serves as a pastor.
A livestreamed video posted on the Facebook page of Black Lives Matter Minnesota -- one of the protest’s organizers -- shows a group of people interrupting services at the Cities Church in St. Paul by chanting
“ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good.”
