again: what’s it like working in healthcare during a federal occupation? i implore comrades of #medsky 🩺and to a certain extent #lawsky ⚖️ to pay attention to what they’re doing to us here & over prepare as much as feasible

Every fucking company is like "hey guys you know that thing we make? That we are famous for? Well we're not doing it anymore. Here's a chatbot that'll tell you to drink bleach instead. You're welcome"

The Trump administration is going directly after LGBTQ healthcare providers and targeting them with threats of losing access to Medicaid/Medicare payments. This is government by tweet, where every day, HHS targets more and more GAC providers with threats of investigation and withholding of funding.

In my life, every time Democrats have been given power through election victories they have used that power to enact GOP policies while enshrining whatever awful evil shit the GOP was doing that lost them the election, then Dems lose the next election and act like they powerless for the next decade.

The Mexican grocery store in my neighborhood keeps their doors locked. You have to ring the doorbell to be let in. They do this so their employees & customers don't get kidnapped by ICE. People were already abducted from their parking lot just trying to feed their families. Abhorrent.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

This one is in Longfellow

it is such shitlib cope to think this little boy just needed a pick-me-up from a celebrity and it would be all better. y'all need to think your systems can fix this and everything can go back to normal so bad. no idiots, the carceral state you rallied around is ruining childrens' lives *permanently*

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

this is not hypothetical. a version of this exact story played out when an abusive man deployed the surveillance state against his girlfriend for getting an abortion www.404media.co/police-said-...

Every time tech like this comes out all I can think about is how it will be used by stalkers and abusers

Yeah I’m looking for my dog (girlfriend who has a restraining order against me and she has a dog) and here’s the picture of the dog (she walks this dog and I can use it to figure out her schedule) thanks for sending all footage my way

Imane Khelif did not cheat at the Olympics by the way.

"We're now under hybrid attack from the U.S." "The U.S. has declared a form of information warfare against us. They're going to use everything that they can to destabilize our country, to disrupt us, potentially to break us apart in order to execute on their national security strategy."

There needs to be a global movement to ban treating housing like a speculative asset already. I'm sure there is on a minor scale but like, damn. People are really brain broken over line go up on housing prices

yes but that does not excuse their imperialism in kuwait, iraq, and afghanistan

it’s not solidarity for solidarity’s sake because we’re in this together. it’s solidarity because we want support for something indefensible.

the most insidious part of daroff’s position here (and thus the u.s. jewish establishment more broadly) is that he is outright saying that the jewish community’s solidarity with other minorities is transactional and comes at the cost of supporting israel (which is in league w/ the global far-right).

It's Black History Month. Rebeka lost everything to cancer: savings, ability to work, their home. They're surviving on mutual aid. They owe over $60K in hospital bills & even more in credit card debt bc they had to live on credit when savings ran out. PLEASE CHIP IN! ko-fi.com/rebekamash/g...

Being an observer is only one of many things people are doing while Minneapolis is under federal occupation. If you don't know that, maybe you should not insert yourself into conversations. Jail support, medic work, feeding people, delivering groceries and essentials, etc are all a part of it too.

“We cannot just abolish ICE!” Bestie, you are older than ICE.

The city of Minneapolis, where you can genuinely say "but WHICH dildo related anti-ICE demonstration in 2026 did you mean?"

hard to think of a better example of "you may not believe in class war, but billionaires know they're in one" than this

I lost my grandmother last month to COPD due to decades of smoking and to hear that these communities are developing such issues because of these datacenters is both frightening and heartbreaking. Stop supporting AI and the evil billionaires behind them! They are literally killing people!

idk the way that megyn kelly didnt lose her entire career for saying epstein was interested in 'barely legal teens' has fucking haunted me. i teach grades 6-12 dawg, these are CHILDREN. theyre SO young.

Another of dozens of examples that MPD will indeed always side with ICE and this dweeb should not be listened to. I live in Minneapolis, it doesn't matter what the city has been through. The cops are not gonna be on our side.

the nonprofit industrial complex is meant to squelch movements the tools of good nonprofit and foundation governance make it harder to actually help people because fuck what if you accidentally help the wrong person? what if you accidentally give a single mom $300 more than her rent is? oh no

Any time someone says give the Strib money, stuff like this is why the answer is no.

I will outlaw lawns over a small front yard. We will subsidize you to actually use it to grow food on it. We'll also reduce Golf Courses by no less than 75%, require INCREDIBLE reductions on water use for upkeep. Also; Cruiseliners will be harbored & transitioned into Hospitals, Schools, Housing.

I know everyone here knows it but just to repeat for everyone *else*... Nothing has changed on the ground. It's still as awful as before. Don't believe this man. And we won't stop protecting our neighbors.

Why would I stop protecting my neighbors now? You’ve already fucked up my life a ton, now I gotta see this shit through.

Love that Tom Homan’s public strategy is essentially if you sell your neighbors out, we wouldn’t need so many agents. How about you fuck off?

"[State Rep] Hicks says...Ubreu had been detained after federal agents rammed into his car and broke his car window on Civic Center Drive in Rochester. He had been delivering groceries for mutual aid work through his church when he was detained." Here legally. A recent kidney transplant recipient.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

begging cis people to not claim allyship and then start crashing out over trans people for the littlest things

Anti-trans bigots lie, all the time, about everything.

MN ICE Watch, Twin Cities Ungovernable both think Will Stancil is untrustworthy and a danger to the community btw. It's not just "Antifa types" (his words)

every three hours in America, a man is arrested. here he is

We cannot ask survivors to speak out about sexual violence while simultaneously punishing them for it. We cannot hold survivors responsible for their own justice while refusing to give it to them. We cannot expect survivors to come forward while making it impossible for them to do so.

ICE is still in Minnesota. ICE is still breaking down glass windows and doors. ICE is still separating families. ICE is still targeting our neighbors who need to go to work because they cannot afford food, rent, and basic living expenses. 1/

Starbucks workers are asking customers to delete the mobile app amid their ongoing strike to push the corporation to reach a first contract with the union and to stop union busting www.theguardian.com/business/202...

We need as many eyes on this as possible. The goal is not impossible and if we can raise at least $3000 for Bex in the next week, that'll bring them up to date with their minimums, rent, medication and transport to radiation treatments. Rebeka deserves our support. They deserve to live. 💜

Oh my god it’s true

One of my favorite jokes of all time is "Adolph Hitler Commits Suicide" being a tiny headline under the banner story about a hare-vs-tortoise race ... in 1943, two years before Hitler committed suicide. He was alive and well when the Warner Bros. cartoonists made this joke.

being a trans woman is crazy. "yeah all my opps are billionaire pedophile rapists"

One of the things bothering me about how people are responding to the Epstein files is that there are tons of conspiracies being created and spread about what’s in them, rather than people just believing the victims like they could have been doing for years now

I’m seeing a lot of QAnon stuff being recycled, including allegations of cannibalism that can be read in-between the lines. As with QAnon, the real problem, that elites abuse people while also conspiring with one another to stay in power, is being replaced by whatever claims gets the most views.

seth's right, this is heat

I'm not trying to tell anyone what tactics they should agree or disagree with, I have my opinions but I don't think that's a *useful* argument to have when this stuff becomes Discourse. But if your standard is "no crime," you let legislators dictate protest legitimacy. Guess who is legislating.
