They're incapable of keeping quiet parts quiet, these idiot children open.substack.com/pub/kenklipp...

Goddamn this makes me proud

So much of the scholarship on a future without police is built on an idea of a society that's structured on cooperation and mutual aid. Minnesota is showing, in its response to police violence, how plausible this is. (1/2)

It's as if the "almost entirely" narrative for Mamdani is a reductive shortcut, and voters on the left are capable of interpreting and reacting to nuance and context and holding our leaders accountable for nuance and context Super odd crazy weird cuckoo bananas

DFL caucuses are in 2 weeks (Feb. 3, 7pm). Notably, the party allows anyone who identifies as a DFLer to caucus, even if they're not eligible to vote. I would suggest that caucus-goers with the privilege to attend in person, like me, prioritize delegate seats for BIPOC and immigrant non-attendees.

dang y'all @amandascheid.bsky.social never misses

Chuck Schumer needs to keep Quixote out of his dirty mealy-mouthed mealy mouth Get your thoughts and prayers stink off of my favorite shit

We're gonna change things, because we have people like Matt doing this kind of thoughtful work I intend to help, and I invite you to share the clear-eyed, pragmatic, and wholly aspirational vision of what things could be

This is so true. I'm a FL transplant - and while I've always been surprised & impressed by my human capacity to acclimate, my acclimation was informed by a lot of cultural knowledge that's much more inherited than intuited

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.” it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

To the the tune of “If You’re Happy & You know it”: If they’re inciting you to violence, they’re a Fed! If they’re inciting you to violence, they’re a Fed! If they’re inciting you to violence, your best response is silence; If they’re inciting you to violence, they’re a Fed!

Nothing in my nearly 50 years of life has ever made me more proud than being a part of this community right now I love you, Twin Cities Can't believe I was lucky enough to land here and have y'all take me in 🖤💙

Fellow Russian Bots, repost with an obscure proof of life in MN

Quisieron enterrarnos, pero no sabían que éramos semillas ✊

Ok Walz and State legislators what are you going to do to support businesses that are shutting down for fear of ICE? We supported them during COVID, how do we support them now?

I need all yall that dont speak spanish to learn a few words, real quick. pls RT "La Migra" - common slang for ICE "La Patrulla" - "The Patrol" "No digas nada" - "Say nothing." ¿Cómo te llamas? - "Whats your name?" "¿Quién quieres que llame?" - "Who do you want me to call?" Escondense - Hide

hi @governorwalz.mn.gov and @amyklobuchar.com Does cancelling youth sports count as taking the bait? Please advise

Far from the point but goddamn what a logo

American Indian Movement (AIM) patrol trucks have been spotted around NE and folks are flagging them as suspicious and giving them unwelcoming glances because they don’t know who they are. This is the AIM logo and flag, which you might see on their trucks. They are friends!

I'm old enough to remember that time ICE agents flashbanged a baby

What is this? Like, what decision-making led to this? - appealing to an unpopular, off-the-rails authority - puffery in place of anything actionable - unnecessary graphic design - this looks like an email holiday card from my dentist - no alt text unforced errors top to bottom

Please read and share with anyone who might be planning on counterprotesting in Cedar-Riverside this weekend

Security folklore of the morning is that no one should share URLs on Signal because it exposes IP addresses and people should use QR codes instead. Please don’t do this! QR codes are much less secure. If you’re concerned about link security, turn off link previews which you can do in Signal settings

Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov does cancelling fishing for kids count as taking the bait or not taking the bait, please advise

Maybe today is the day it happens Where it = Congress exercising any portion of its considerable legislative authority

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

We're all gonna have so many good good beers after this You think we're banding together now? Wait until you see our capacity for commemorative camaraderie The North remembers or whatever New lifelong resolute revolutionaries having canon moments everywhere I look

Y'all are incredible. In under 36 hrs we have seen over $20k come in. We have had donations come in and we are getting it out to folks who need them. We have a uhual for the week. We will be delivering food, blowing whistles and keeping our Immagrant neighbors safe.

Reposting bangers from localsky icons like anybody who would see the repost hasn't already seen the original amplification is my core competency

Local parents groups asking if adults can ride school buses to help protect children from ICE after a special ed bus got stopped this morning. Like a Dirty Harry movie except the villain in the federal government.

They can't help you, because they're not designed to. They won't help you, because they're not incentivized to. You can't help them, even if for some fucking reason you want to. dontcallthepolice.com

It's nice everyone here is on the same page Today an SUV that looks like mine was in front of me at a light where people were waving signs. I said out my window "This is just a coincidence, we're not ICE!" One of the women laughed and pointed at the other SUV, "He just said the same thing!"

They were *VERY* obviously here for content. That had dudes with cameras. Stopped anyone who was remotely brown. Those folks would show ID etc and walk away. Then they went into Target itself. But too many community members were there. So they left. Onto the next TikTok. Fucking clowns, dude.

Pentz Homes will be doing a rolling food drive to support our struggling local businesses and help the families who are afraid to leave their homes. You can help in two ways! Shop at local immigrant-owned stores and donate the goods, or send us your funds and we will do the shopping for you.

Holy shit. This is incredible. I'd post a quote to compel you to watch but the whole thing is that quote.

They hate Minnesota because we are a people who believe that "we all do better when we all do better." Minnesota is one of the wealthiest, safest, and cleanest states in the country *because* of our openness and generosity. Our quality of life is a direct challenge to their zero-sum worldview.

Minneapolis right now: Parents use their weekend to attend a 3 hour deescalation training so we can be better prepared to support more vulnerable families at school drop off and pick up next week. Teachers create online learning plans for the next 5 weeks. The threat: our fed govt.

Hey @evertonfc.com get off the CSAM and Revenge Porn app. You can't post any images of the Women's teams on there can you? Get off it.

So hey, while Frey is doing soundbytes and spouting off, Sheriff Dawanna Witt and Frey's Police Chief Brian O'Hara's people were at HCMC last night protecting ICE agents, refusing to trespass them from the ER waiting room there despite requests from the hospital, and elected officials.

ICE just took 2 of my neighbors, literal across the street neighbors. As they drove off one agent said sarcastically to observers, "Thank you for your service." I can never get used to this offhand evil, this absolute icy refusal to see others as human.
