If we cannot save her in time, she may die.

I will not forgive the silence of anyone who scrolls past this plea and ignores our pain.

This is not an exaggeration or an attempt to apply pressure — this is what the doctors have confirmed. My sister’s health may deteriorate due to a severe deficiency in vitamins, malnutrition, and anemia, and her body can no longer withstand any delay.

Proper nutrition and urgent treatment are her only chance to survive. Every day without support brings us closer to the worst.

I stand helpless beside her, watching the child I love grow weaker before my eyes, with nothing left but hope in the kindness of others.

Your donation or share now could be the difference between life and death.

Vetted #213

I am begging as a sister who has nothing left but hope in strangers. Do not let silence bury my sister. A share, a donation, a moment of compassion can keep my sister alive today.

I know I haven’t posted regularly on this blog in years but I’m not seeing a whole lot of posts on this site about what’s happening in Minneapolis right now. And the posts I am seeing are not covering the scope of it. I’m genuinely surprised because tumblr is usually where I find out about things organically through my feed. So I’m making a post about it.

A brief summary of events, from someone who pays attention and also lives here, best taken with a grain of salt and some fact checking:

2020: George Floyd is murdered by Minneapolis police. There are weeks of protests about it. It makes national news. Protests happen in DC. The infamous Trump and his bible photo shoot happens.

2024: Gov. Tim Walz is Kamala Harris’ running mate in the presidential election. He starts the “they’re just weird” thing. Is folksy, Trump personally hates him.

November 2025: ICE starts showing up to “crack down” on “illegal immigrants” in our Somali community. I may remember the numbers wrong, but something like 90% of our Somali neighbors are either naturalized or were born here. People distribute ICE whistles and are on high alert. Localized to the twin cities.

December 2025: Nick Shirley is paid by a bunch of MN Republicans to do an exposé on daycare fraud. I didn’t hear much about this. All I really know is this was an ongoing investigation that MN officials were already taking care of and some of the guilty parties have already gone to court from a COVID era food assistance program. Mostly, if not all, legal US citizens. He did a really bad job at doing journalism and just showed up to day cares with a camera crew and went “YUP nobody’s here” as if they weren’t in lock-down procedure because some fuck ass white men showed up with camera equipment that could easily be mistaken for guns. I believe. I will fact check all of this and will correct myself in a reblog if necessary. (source but not all the details that I remember hearing about but they said there was no recorded evidence of fraud)

Conservative internet explodes. Kristi Noem sends a mess of agents. I know it’s more than a thousand more. They call it Operation Metro Surge. They are going everywhere. There are protests. People try to interrupt the arrests. It’s a lot.

1/7/2026: Renee Nicole Good is shot by an ICE agent in the middle of a protest. A few blocks away from where George Floyd was killed. Broad daylight. In front of a crowd. While she was following instructions to turn her vehicle around. Jonathan Ross, the piece of shit Nazi who did it, was recording on his phone the whole time, switched his phone to his non dominant hand so he could more effectively shoot her in the face from 2 feet away. Claims self defense, several angles immediately disprove him. He releases his video, he calls her a “fucking bitch” as her corpse drives away. Does not help him at all. (source) He has not been seen since. Some photos/reports exist of a bunch of agents showing up to his house and taking some tubs and art away. His wife is an immigrant. (source but it’s the daily mail so grain of salt.)

Not hours later they go raid a school and tear gas a bunch of kids. (source). Minneapolis has switched to distance learning. I’m not sure about St. Paul.

The last week: There are up to 3,000 ICE agents here. Keep in mind Minneapolis and St. Paul only have 600 or fewer police officers each. So these dudes are roaming in packs. It’s 2-4 dudes to a car and 2-5 cars per pack. People are “commuting with” ICE agents to honk and alert people that they’re there. People are going on patrols with their neighbors.

ICE is no longer asking “are you a citizen.” They are simply walking up to you and taking you into custody. They are going door to door. They have started just breaking the door down if you don’t comply. They are driving recklessly to just grab pedestrians and drivers alike (source). People are afraid to go get groceries. It’s all over the state. I am learning names of cities in places I thought were just factory farm land and I’ve lived here my whole life because they’re doing raids there. I had to text my family in the suburbs because I saw reports of my small little hometown an hour away getting door knocks today.

It’s insane and I am not doing it justice. There are thousands of masked federal agents roaming around all of Minnesota with no warrant or specific goal. They are just trolling around looking for people. They are detaining anyone and everyone. They are beating people. They are pepper spraying people. They are kidnapping people. They are acting unconstitutionally, aggressively, and unpredictably. They are creating situations that are dangerous so that they can try to justify beating or shooting their way out. I will run an errand and then get fed a tiktok that was shot from the Cub Foods that I just left and there’s 20+ ICE vehicles parked there now. They’re taking people from work, from day care, from schools, from shopping centers.

Iceout.org tracks ice sightings. This is a screen shot with the date set to 12/1/2025.

And from today.

They have cut off SNAP and WIC benefits. Just for us. Not any other state, just Minnesota. They’re saying it’s because of fraud but I think it’s because they hate that we use federal funds to give free breakfast and lunch to every public school student.

And this is breaking just now, 1/13/2026: the DOJ is trying to investigate Renee Good’s widow. 4 people have resigned about it. (source). I don’t even want to read the article to see what they’re saying.

So that’s a brief history.

Unicorn Riot is doing a lot of good reporting and they don’t seem to have the spin that a lot of local news stations will have where they downplay everything. This article specifically goes into a lot of the specific instances of brutality.

It’s also a rumor on TikTok that all of the videos of ICE and protests and the such and the like are being geo locked. So my feed is all footage of people being detained and talking about the “commuting” they’re doing and what they’re seeing but people outside of the state are not seeing it. So if you’re also on that infernal app, try searching for Minneapolis or Minnesota and see what you see. I’m kind of curious if this is true. Because I’ve been living and breathing ICE and doomsday prepping content for a week. I’m sure those two topics aren’t connected.

I don’t really know what my goal with this post is. I’m tired. I’m in the first ring of suburbs, so it’s been pretty quiet. But I have friends in south Minneapolis. And I’m worried for them. And I know it’s a matter of time before my quiet pocket is affected. Because they’re coming door to door.

Pay attention to Minnesota, I think an example is being made of us.

I’ve been monitoring this closely because I have friends in the area, and because I think every city in the country is at risk of having the feds come to do what they’re doing in Minnesota, and we all need to get ready.

There are some Twin Cities activists who have been very clearly laying out what they’re doing, and why it’s effective at slowing down ICE. It sounds like all you really need, is neighborhood group chats where people can let one another know when and where ICE is present, and then people show up, start recording, and blowing whistles, and then ICE will leave again more often than not. This VERY SHORT thread by a Twin Cities activist outlines what to do and how it works.

Getting a lot of messages. A lot are like "Can I come help?" (appreciated, but unless you know the area very well, probably not THAT useful)

Bluesky Social

Also: Minnesota Public Radio has been doing great coverage of what’s happening, and the local NBC affiliate has some excellent interviews with activists who were arrested and detained for hours.

And finally, some good news: the courts restored SNAP funding.

This is why its vital to film ICE (and pigs in general) any time you see these roaches on the streets

Because the republikkkan party and their little propaganda monkeys will spout nothing but lies while their gestapo thugs murder innocent people and its vital to have proof of what these filthy pest creatures are actually doing out there on the streets of america

To all trans men on this site, im gonna put you onto something. If you are in need of a binder but have unsupportive parents or are closeted, if you have a fondness for the ocean, or if youre bored with the normal colors of binder available, go to Waterlust and get a top

As you can see above, theyre all patterned like marine life, but theyre also reversible! One side has the pattern, the other is solid color, and they’re all fun colors like blues and reds and greens, but some like the whale and tiger shark ones are more subtle grays and blacks. I have the whale shark one and the spongebob one (which was a limited run), and theyre both very well designed and printed. My spongebob one has served me for roughly four years and it hasn’t worn at all.

What really matters? The binding power, and these things are great. I’m a triple D cup and with a medium I look like I have subtle pecs. They’re also much less compressive than other binders due to their materials (which are mostly recycled!), so you can wear them for longer without getting sore. When I did more intensive theater and band performances, I could still act, dance, and play bari sax without getting winded or hurting myself. They’re also swim tops, and I’ve scuba dived in these as well comfortably.

If that wasn’t all, proceeds from each purchase are donated towards marine conservation and education initiatives! Purchasing shark printed ones specifically donate to shark studies and conservation orgs, parrotfish and coral prints support coral restoration initiatives, and so on. The high price tag is for a good reason.

Overall, if you’re looking for an all around good binder, one that matches your whimsey and supports a good cause, Waterlust is the place to go.

Anyways, y’all I come to show more indigenous nations of South Louisiana and the beauty of their culture! Fun fact, many of tribal members also have Caddo heritage, so they are rocking that! I feel like in conversations about indigenous people many of the nations of Louisiana(and honestly Alabama and Texas as well)tend to get left out! There are many indigenous people who still live on their territorial lands, including the Chocataw-Apache’s!

i’ve actually got to meet some of the tribal members throughout my experiences with going to powwow’s in South Louisiana! Incredibly awesome, kind, and loving people!

Hell yeah DIY hrt is a lot safer than most people think and way more accessible than it seems. There’s a lot of people who work together to make it as safe and reliable as possible. The following two websites are essential to know:

The DIY HRT Directory

All the information you need to be informed on DIY Hormone Replacement Therapy

diyhrt.wiki

^for info on what hrt is, different types and info on antiandrogens. It’s pretty easy to read and gives a great overview of DIY hrt in general including risks with each method.

HRT Cafe

HRTCafe.net, formerly DIYHRT.Cafe, is a website created to provide information for how to safely obtain DIY HRT for trans people who cannot

HRT Cafe

^for finding verified sellers of hrt. So far they only have mtf (estrogen, progesterone, t-blockers) as testosterone is illegal in a lot of countries.

To @sleepsucks if you don’t want this on your post I’ll delete it. Just shoot me a DM :3

possessing testosterone without a prescription is illegal in many places, so procuring it may be riskier.

i get my testosterone persciption from gendergp, they operate from the uk, but i have had no issues with getting my prescription picked up in finland. the membership costs some money & you have to pay for bloodtests yourself, but to me it’s worth it, to have a doctor monitor my levels and have a legal prescription.
