Mixtape for Mutual Aid, Indefinite Detentions, and The Power of Gay Bars
The guardrails that protect immigrants’ rights are being bowled over by the Trump administration. A federal court decision handed down last week means more people detained in Minnesota will be quickly shipped out to Texas for an indefinite period of time. We’ll talk about what that means for immigrants’ rights. We’re also pressing play on a 30-artist mixtape, which has raised more than $1,600 for community aid so far. Plus, Lush, the gay bar in northeast Minneapolis, is partnering with Absolut Vodka and gay bars around the country to support each other.
