I’m really leery of predicting anything or making any pronouncements about the future but I will absolutely make this one: They are going to fucking lose How much they’ll destroy and how many people they’ll take down with them is the big question

Jacob Frey is a cowardly bitchboy and you should not allow any amount of sizzle reels or softball interviews with podcasters to distract you from that reality

Those of you who still insist on drawing a distinction between ICE and police should be aware that the police are not drawing that distinction.

Found your mom at the aquarium today

"i asked chatgpt" well I asked amy klobuchar and she threw a stapler at my head

I think I might need to find a place tomorrow afternoon where I can go and just scream, "I'm so sick of this fucking Nazi bullshit!"

Feel like he’s breaking the 4th wall bc he realized this is kinda f’d up

Hi! Did you receive an e-bike rebate last year (provided thru @wsdot.wa.gov) and use it to purchase a bike? I’d love to chat with you about how e-bike access affected your travel habits and options, for the WSDOT Blog! Please DM me here or contact Hannah dot Weinberger at WSDOT dot WA dot gov.

I just want us all to be able to live and thrive and have community and support, not whatever fuckin hell we’ve wound up in

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

I had a really stressful workday on top of all the everything else (fascism, seasonal depression, regular depression, and so on) and I just really feel like I'm at my limit tonight. None of my usual solutions are touching it. I'm trying to do deep breathing and stuff.

l'm collecting legal funds to support locating a neighbor kidnapped this morning, relative of a Seward Elementary staff member. Send it with LEGAL in the comment: PP: Gnanouofthenorth VM: Nanou2 CA: $NanouOfTheNorth less

Again, I personally vouch for Pete

This is the juice. Real leadership Real policy Real effects

If you hadn't already heard, Mar and Anna are both out. Anna had broken bones in her hand and went to the hospital. A gofundme is near 100% and I think will be the best place to watch for updates. gofund.me/3f2deb362

Need met! But if you still want to donate, it will help us keep families fed for even longer!

Also — if we go over $3,000 we will be able to buy diapers and wipes for families with kids. If you have ever had a kid in diapers you know the stress of running out

They lied yesterday maybe don’t believe them today.

I have talked to folks plugged in across the housing spectrum and this is necessary. People have lost income sheltering in place, as will working parents if there are more daycare raids and school closures. Targeting immigrant business means owners won't make payroll. Until ICE is out, NO EVICTIONS.

to the 2020 veterans—this is going to be a hell of a week it's okay to let the whippersnappers do the heavy lifting right now. we'll be there to help them pace themselves we've done this for almost six years. we can do it for sixty more

I can't imagine how much work this is going to be. Sending love to all the teachers

real fucking hard to ignore how quickly ICE expanded their targets to queer people.

A Minneapolis pastor of an MCC church — a denomination rooted in LGBTQ equality — recounts being detained by ICE. Says an ICE officer walked up to him as he was chanting “we are not afraid.” The agent, he says, raised his gun and said “are you afraid now?” m.youtube.com/watch?v=lcSO...

*commence frantically backscrolling trying to figure out what is actually happening*

Wow

I haven't heard anyone talk about Jody since I left NC over 20 years ago 😂

how about after the Portland shooting

welp

Just backed! We need 💖 more 💖 horny 💖 gay 💖 games!

I feel like this is extremely relevant again Not “this was not self-defense” but “this was murder” Not “she didn’t run the ICE agent over” but “she was murdered while trying to drive away”

My anxiety vibrates to the sound of the helicopter blades

Yesterday, a woman was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. For Minnesotans, this is not unfamiliar territory. The tensions that built day-by-day during the last week of May 2020 offer a stark warning: Had Chauvin been arrested a day earlier, the worst of the fires and damage could have been prevented.

I will personally vouch for Pete

She was deeply loved by her wife who is presumably going to raise the six-year-old boy you just categorized as an orphan for some reason. And we didn't ✌🏾lose✌🏾 her. The government murdered her. Words mean things

Sometimes, folks from Minneapolis seem like a tinfoil hat club when we talk about what it's like to live here and endure all of the lying and cover-ups, myself included, and shit like this is exactly why.

There are no short cuts. I'm sorry. There is only long term, consistent, and disciplined organizing.

I live in rural Minnesota. Rural Minnesota is fucking pissed, y'all. Old white grandmas and grandpas out in rural Minnesota are keyed up. They're turning -out-. Don't you fucking dare let the bot campaigns tell you otherwise.

i think renee good being an evidently leftist queer woman, in a relationship with another woman who was with her in the car, with both of them taking care of a child, is not at all coincidental to her being assassinated by the state

For additional context, this is a Chicago neighborhood that suffered particularly sustained terror by Border Patrol & ICE for weeks this past fall.

Right. The point is not “it matters extra because it’s a citizen,” the point is “we either hang together or we will all hang separately.”

Reminder, Minnesota's Earned Sick and Safe Time provides paid time off if your child's school is closed for public emergency www.dli.mn.gov/sick-leave

Action item to help Minneapolis

Cancelling school is the safest option for students and staff. It’s also a huge economic burden for parents, and I wish there was a way we could help with that, too. In conclusion, an armed invasion of our city by hostile forces is not making anyone safer.

This will sound like a joke, but it's not. When TWO "Minnesota Nice" politicians drop the F-bomb in front of live cameras, we're at Defcon 1.
