Thank you Aaron, I will chip in as well

You're a good guy, Aaron

You’re the man Aaron! 👊🏽

We will be out there. Don't mess with people who choose to live somewhere so cold the air hurts to breathe.

I'm visiting Minneapolis. Want to hear details. @minneapolismn.gov @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social

I'm in RI & am in solidarity w/ you guys. Am retired, but not buying a thing. I think I'm but one of many Americans who will stand as best we can w/ you today. Sending love.

Thanks for posting this and your good work. I wanted to help, but did not know which charities to support.

Lots of love from Canada 🇨🇦

Much appreciated. I was looking for a way to contribute.

Thank you for posting donation preferences! There's a whole lot of us that would like to donate money or time rather than watching helplessly, and direction from trusted people on- scene could really do some good. More please!

I didn’t know you were here in Minnesota! 30 year transplant from California here! 👋🏼. I am heartbroken how our federal government and the president are occupying and causing injury to our community. The people are beautiful here.

Thank you Aaron & others doing the hard work in Minnesota. This is the blueprint for the rest of us

Good thats a start now get the rest of the USA to do the same.

Donated plus corporate match, thanks for your leadership.

Thank you for sharing!

Midway- Hamline folk here. 11:30 PM & the chopper blades still roaring overhead. Hopefully ICE can't find a room for the night.

🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Dont you think Trump would absolutely love that businesses are hurt in Minnesota with a general strike? How will this impact small businesses already crushed by tariffs?

First, he brought down Maduro in Venezuela Then he came up with the Greenland issue With both of those topics exhausted and having no bearing on the US, Trump is plotting his next psychological operation (taking over the Panama Canal?) to try and distract from what's REALLY keeping him up at night 👇

Power to the people! ✊ Fuck Donald Trump!🖕

I truly wish you good luck today. Show these Republican goons who the real bosses are. They have forgotten who they serve. Then reign in every one of those billionaire psychopaths who think they can run the world in their psychotic depraved image

Thanks Aaron and do stay safe. I just donated to Iceout.org.

I just subscribed. Thank you for all that you do to keep us informed ❤️

That's very generous of you Aaron. I am disappointed in this effort though. I believe it hurts small restaurants and shops. I'd rather the effort was "go support your ethnic restaurants and shops". This feels like a performative shoot yourself (or neighbor) in the foot.

thank you for posting this, Aaron, and for all you do every day to keep us all informed. I will also donate a week’s income—I am an LICSW in private practice so it’s not a lot, but it’s not a little either. Every bit will help, I hope.

Is there a list of Minnesota businesses one can support during their labor strike happening Jan. 23, 2026?

Thank you for sharing!!

One day won't be enough. One state won't be enough. generalstrikeus.com

I don't have a better word than *turnout* but when everybody does NOTHING tomorrow I sure hope there's a great... participation.

Great idea

Thank you so much for your support of iceout.org! We appreciate it so much ❤️

Thank you for all that you do Aaron! 👏🏼 🤝

No Aaron no strike, just people who are going to use their vacation time,to prepare for the storm coming!!! I do hear the flu is pretty bad out there.You know what they say STAY HOME IF YOU ARE SICK!!!!

Definitely. Start here, then, all 50 states.

This should be the path forward. Demonstrations like NO KINGS will not be effective anymore. If as many people who participated in NO KINGS across the contry did a strike, then it will be REALLY felt

This could be a catalyst

Love this idea. Not spending money tomorrow and I will send tomorrow's salary to one of the places on the list. Thanks for sharing, and for all you do.

Thank you Aaron. You are a good man.

It would be good to support this virtually on BS

Nicely done, Aaron!

Thank *you* for pointing this specific one out! Working tomorrow (to protect my neighbors, in a literal sense) and that is now atop of my current list to donate my day to. 🐱 🐶 🐾 www.thebondbetween.org/donate

Wow! What a true American you are!

Thank you Aaron for posting this and for your gracious support. To all of my friends here in Minnesota, followers from around the world thank you for your kindness and heart felt support.❤️💙

Patriotic, empathetic and honorable decision ATR.

Well done, Minnesota! 💜

Thank you for both continuing to do your truth telling and your generosity!

Remember, there are more of us who are angry about how everything is going than those who are complacent. Im in full support of a strike. Nationwide. We need to make these people hurt financially. That's the only way they listen

Incredible Aaron thank you! ✊

So many great options! Just donated to Immigrant Law Center of MN. Thanks for posting this Aaron! You rock! 💜💛

You are a good man Aaron Rupar

Do you have a non-substack means of subbing?

❤️

Thank you @atrupar.com

You are good people Aaron. I appreciate you!

Awesome and thank you. Spreading the word

Thank you, Aaron ✌🏼 💙 Sending support from MA.

Good on you, Aaron… thank you for doing this, and I hope this catches on with other states, too!

Who were the other 6 Democrats voting with R's today in favor of continuing ICE funding? I know Henry Cuellar (TX) is one of the DINOs. I called him at several of his offices today. Here is his DC number: tel:2022251640 We need fighters for #wtpBLUE not capitulators!!!

The weather is cooperating I really don't think there will be much anything in Minneapolis tomorrow Right now:

Put my name on every list you make.

My daughter, who lives in the Cities, sent me this list of worthwhile groups to donate to: www.standwithminnesota.com

THIS is the way. General strikes actually do something that hurts the ruling class. Make sure you are prepared though. Respirators and eye protection are must-haves. You can get both at most hardware stores. Pay cash. Do not go out there without them, "less than lethal" is a lie.

Donated. Stay safe!

It’s the right link - at times so busy the link pops up this message.

A guy that Bluesky hates due to frequently bad political takes. However, he's been out on the ground in MN in whatever capacity he can help. A lot of Bluesky has still been trying to dunk on him more rather than just leaving him be while he's doing objective good

@amyklobuchar.com Where are their Senators?

I donated to The Bond Between to help with pets left behind. So many good organizations here.

TY. I volunteer at the Messiah Food Shelf in Lakeville which is 25 min south of the TC. We source our food from Second Harvest in Brooklyn Park.

Protests are great, but without a straight fwd demand how do we measure effectiveness? Try demanding the end of the racist Kavanaugh Stops that have made 10s of millions of Americans 2bd Class citizens, subject to "show me your papers" based on appea7, language or line of work. Let's get a Win.

It doesn't matter if Trump sees it or not. It matters that the families in hiding realize every business on their block is shouting as one that what's being done to them is wrong.

Here is a good explanation of how general strikes can give power back to the people. If enough of us participate, the ruling (upper) class has to concede somehow. minnesotareformer.com/briefs/frida...

Thank you! Will is doing a great job!

Thank you, Aaron.

Thank you for posting!

Sent some $$$ from sister city Portland OR. #resist

:P

Thank you for sharing ways we can help!

Thanks for posting! $25 donation made to the interfaith coalition on immigration in MN.

a new one, then MAYBE you’ll have our vote. She is picking a very strange time to hide.

BTW, here's the receipts, this is the actual event I attended when her office called Homeland Security on a dozen polite constituents, half in clerical garb, just to ask her to show a spine. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Donated. Thanks for sharing this!

I donated to Dios Habla Hoy Ministries for food distribution, but don't see it on the list.

Thanks for all you do Aaron. I donated to ‘Just the Pill’ in memory of Renee Good. #MinnesotaStrong❄️ #standwithminnesota

Just donated to both immigrant nonprofits. Thanks for the standwithminnesota.com link!

Couldn’t open the link. 😞

Thanks for posting. But for the grace of God this could be any of us needing assistance. Happy to help.

You're amazing!

I donated to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. www.ilcm.org

Can you call out the top one or two recommendations for those of us with analysis paralysis?

Thank you!

We need to be doing a national general strike at least 1x/month until Orangina is gone gone gone. And with him ICE and Brain Worm and Pammy Jo and Kashyap and and and . . .

Aaron, sincere questions. Is there a way to help small businesses? What clothing stores/jewelry stores can people buy from? What gift certificates can we buy to help some of those companies? Basically, what GOOD local companies like Penzeys can people support from afar?

Thank you!

Donated to Immigrant Law Center www.ilcm.org/donate/

👏👏👏💪💪💪🫶

The plural of beef is beeves, sir. I’m joking. Thank you for all your hard work.

Donated from The Netherlands. We all have to stand together.

From France: thank you for your work!

I donated! Thank you for sharing this 💙💙

Donated to the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund via Women's Foundation of Minnesota. Thank you @atrupar.com for sharing!

👍

Prayers for all Minnesotans to be strong and courageous during this time of oppression by the Trump admin and ICE thugs..

Thanks so much for all of your reporting Aaron and solidarity to you and the brave and decent folks of Minneapolis and St. Paul. It's sickening what you've had to put up with and I hope the situation improves asap.

Thanks for your tips on orgs to support. The list is overwhelming for an outsider.

Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota seemed appropriate. $50 and hoping it will help, at least a little bit.

Thank you for sharing this resource
