MN AF means Anti Fascist and As Fuck. If that makes someone clutch pearls, good. Minnesota has always been a mix of nice and sharp, lake glitter and street grit, and this is the part that doesn’t apologize for having a spine.
This is for the people who show up. For the ones who can name a dozen mutual aid links off the top of their head. For the friends who keep an eye out when the cops get jumpy and the crowd gets loud. For the folks watching ICE drag families through paperwork hell and saying abolish ICE with their whole chest. For anyone who believes borders are made up but dignity isn’t.
For students and staff catching heat on campus because they won’t shut up about equality. For neighbors translating forms, offering rides, making phone calls, passing out hand warmers. For the “I brought extra poster board” types. For the “tell me where to be” types. For the “we’re not doing this alone” types.
Wear it when the news is doing that thing where it tries to numb you. Wear it when your group chat turns into logistics. Wear it to vote, to march, to donate, to bring snacks, to hold someone’s hand outside a courthouse, to scream into the wind off Lake Superior and then do the next right thing anyway.
It’s Minnesota pride with teeth. North Loop to Uptown, Dinkytown to St. Paul, you know the vibe. The skyway shuffle. The light rail glare. The First Ave night where the bass is a heartbeat and you remember you’re not alone. Vikings heartbreak, Twins day games, Wild overtime, Wolves chaos, Lynx greatness, Gophers loud in the cold. Community is the real hometown team.
And yeah, it’s a baby tee, because the Y2K silhouette hits like a flashback, but the message is right now. Pair it with low-rise jeans, giant cargos, a thrifted zip hoodie, or whatever you wear when you’re done explaining yourself. This isn’t about looking cute for the algorithm. It’s about being readable in a crowd.
MN AF. Distressed like history, bold like you. If Minnesota is your home, your refuge, your chosen family, this is your flag you can actually wear.
