Almost like people hate when a political party turns our country into a living hell idk

“The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.” ~ Antonio Gramsci

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I don’t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners. Decide. Who are you?

God took the wrong person from "Home Alone 2." It's really that simple.

We’re owed a few evil people deaths asap. Like 10-12 for Catherine O’Hara alone. Come on fascist scumbags, get to croaking.

Omg noooooooo

This song and video are such gifts. To the people of Minnesota, yes, but also to all decent Americans who are resisting authoritarianism. Thank you, Bruce Springsteen, for memorializing all of the patriotic dissenters. youtu.be/GDaPdpwA4Iw

We’ve said it before, and here we are again. Mass detention + privatized cost controls + infectious disease = a public health nightmare--one that harms detainees and puts us all at risk.

Dems managed to get a 2-week delay on the DHS bill, so CALL YOUR SENATORS AND YOUR REPRESENTATIVE EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT 14 DAYS. Tell them you want ICE, CBP and all the rest of it defunded and dismantled. Tell them you will be voting against anyone who doesn't do this. This is our chance.

actually it's a commonwealth

Incredible interview with @kaokaliayang.bsky.social: "I write because I don’t know what to do with all of the things that are going on in the world,” she said. “I write to make sense of it. I write to give myself — my imagination — the power to overcome it.” www.minnpost.com/artscape/202...

ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.

THEY DIDNT CAVE THANK GOD

Warren: "I know there are Republicans right now who are seeing what we're seeing in MN, and they know it's wrong. It's time to speak out. Silence is complicity. Grow a spine, show some backbone. Being 'disturbed' doesn't change anything and the ICE agents who are waving around loaded guns know it."

Me, waking up in -8 degree weather: what fresh horrors does today hold? @npr.org:

Good. I don't give a shit if people think it's performative or late to the game or whatever. Every damn celebrity in the country should be using their platform to push back against fascism.

Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day — and with masked troops in our streets, law-abiding neighbors being disappeared, a president othering and dehumanizing entire communities in our country, and big mysterious prisons awaiting his scapegoats, history is speaking to all of us.

ok the full clip is way better than the little one going around. her whole team try to get her to bail on the event and she's like no, I came to speak. incredible example.

REP. OMAR after being attacked with liquid: “We will continue! These fucking assholes are not gonna get away with this! Here is the reality people like this ugly man don’t understand — we are Minnesota Strong. We’ll stay resilient in the face of whatever they might throw at us.”

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

1/ Today you might be expecting the weekly Dose on flu, the U.S. pulling out of the WHO, or other health headlines. I’ll get back there soon. But after this weekend, those topics felt small and I needed to pause. Because I don’t know about you, but my weekend was full of really hard juxtapositions🧵

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

Happy large boulder the size of a small boulder day for all who celebrate

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

oh well this is interesting innit

This is a very good thread putting ICE into historical context

[stares directly into the camera]

Idk I kinda think we should bring beliefs like this back. Tell them we gotta fix global warming asap or the Leviathan will escape. We gotta sacrifice another billionaire to the ocean or the harvest will be bad and food will get more expensive

AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE. We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

It's the PTO moms and spreadsheet dads and other random-ass Minnesotans concerned for their neighbors. There is no one central organizing org, just a ton of people who give a shit. It's both beautiful that it's happening and laughable that anyone thinks there's some broader apparatus at work.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

Since @peoplemag.bsky.social is doing such a good job covering this with honesty & the humanity it deserves in spite of this vengeful regime trying to snuff it out, here’s the links to their articles. Give them all the clicks—they earned it.

This is Alex Pretti.

There’s a rally going on in Boston rn and they’re chanting “we’re not cold, we’re not afraid, MN taught us to be brave!” and I might cry

“It’s like call of duty! So cool huh?” Trump’s goons treat shooting at and tear gassing protestors like a video game, caught on national TV on a hot mic One even clapped after Alex Pretti was killed abolish ICE

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”

years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose

Zach is very wise, and is absolutely correct here. Immigration is an objective good. His book "Open Borders" is *great*. You should read it. The basis of all this anti-immigration BS is blatant racism, and a fascist desire to use that to manipulate the population.

If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week

Demonstrators as far as the eye can see. Current status of the march in Downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota for Ice Out of Minnesota. They are turning onto 3rd Street from 5th Avenue.

🚨"The Ku Klux Klan used to call themselves the invisible empire, and they wore masks, and they used to raid immigrant communities—much like ICE is right now," -one of THOUSANDS of Minneapolis ICE protesters marching in -10 degrees as part of statewide generals strike. LIVE NOW⬇️

The park behind the building on the right was also just as full! Fascism cannot take Minnesota anymore than the darkness can cover the North Star. The darker it is, the brighter we’ll shine

Kill a mother in cold blood, kidnap the cutest little kid I have seen all week in a fucking pokemon hat, the cutest possible hat, then arrest a bunch of clergy members?! Of multiple kinds of faith practices? Do they have a comeuppance kink or something? like wtf do they think is going to happen??

God it fills my heart up to read stuff like this

There is no quicker way to heat the blood of someone from St. Paul than to casually erase us like this. J. D., you coward, you sycophant, St. Paul fucking hates ICE— hates ICE as it hates hell, Trump, and thee. Come over and let us show you.
