BREAKING: Tenants across Minneapolis and Saint Paul have just launched a Twin Cities tenant union, citing the fact that their cities are under siege, and saying they need to band together to protect one another. linktr.ee/twincitieste...

what a week to start meds that are supposed to help with anxiety but also significantly reduce the amount I can safely drink

lmfao any single dem could have been doing this for the last 12 months but only lindsey graham has the stones to do it because he wants them to write into law “lindsey graham can have five hundred thousand dollars”

just keep reminding yourselves that when we win Luigi will be on a season of dancing with the stars

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning I was sent this video of agents at her door:

One of the hardest things to explain to people who aren’t here is the very real feeling that we are in a war against the federal government. Not only are we occupied by unaccountable armed, masked paramilitaries, but we are constantly aware our neighbors might be abducted in the blink of an eye.

This crisis is less about migrants than about MAGA looking for reassurance that *they* still belong by demanding approval from people they envy for excising nonwhite people from the polity. It’s a test of whether whiteness still pays its historical wages by the convulsively socially insecure

I'm starting to think the Trumpist mastery of propaganda is failing them. The DHS agents posing this way makes it look like they're ashamed of themselves.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.

This is like "triggers an international diplomatic incident" levels of bad. Consulate's are legally the territory of whatever country owns them. Ecuadorian Consulates are, legally, Ecuador. Invading one is like invading their country with an armed and militarized force.

Boy howdy I sure do hope that some enterprising press with a few long lenses took their time getting pictures of these maskless faces Sure would suck for them if the same enterprising press confirmed that these frat boys work for ICE

The disparities in these numbers are fucking terrible. A quantification of how much more valuable a white and then American life is than an immigrant POC. Links to fundraisers in thread. bsky.app/profile/last...

All of this happened with basically no help from elected officials of the opposition party. This was entirely the people.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Genuinely the funniest possible panel line-up of all time and it's for a real estate conference in Riyadh

load bearing tweet for a settler colonial society

someone in a nail polish subreddit created a shade that matches the one in this photo and is selling it on etsy so she can afford to buy her boyfriend a bulletproof vest to wear while doing ICE watch at home depot. we live in hell but we are going to fucking win.

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

Free them all.

stuff like this, etc

Someone just got murdered and they’re still in the streets. None of that “not our fight” nonsense. These are people who get it and aren’t backing down in the name of selfish cowardice.

At 26/Nicollet in what appears to be the beginnings of an autonomous zone, about a thousand people rally against ICE’s most recent killing of peaceful observer Alex Pretti earlier today. Chants blend “Fuck ICE, ICE out” with “No justice, no peace” to sound like “Fuck ICE, no peace.”

not a single member of Congress has commented on this video as far as I can tell

10 minutes later, still going, streamer says "no end in sight" i truly do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

This is beyond reform. ICE has no place in the United States.

liberals get so mad at stuff like this, and rightly so, but I need them to understand they sound * the exact same * when they say equally asinine, easily-answerable-via-google shit about socialism or defund the police or whatever

Anyone who works for or supports this agency in any way, including anyone who wants it to continue to operate in any form, is objectively evil. No coddling, no "walking a mile in their shoes," they're evil scum.

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project

bro there’s a gofundme to crowdfund attorney fees for a preschooler who was kidnapped by our federal government and shipped across state lines and his senator is posting about high school hockey while every other elected official is debating whether to give a zillion more dollars to the kidnappers

Why, in a hypothetical future where the national Dems exist and Trump does not, should the American people believe that Congress or the national Democratic Party are institutions worth preserving or reinvesting time and money into based on their current work?

World Cup ain't happening. Olympics on the ropes unless he's dead

If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.

You got it. This will end up being a massive working-class action that can demonstrate to workers, themselves, what their power is. That, in itself, has transformative educational potential that would spark further mobilization. Actions like these are how we win. Period. We need your solidarity.

But u should adopt the name and you should understand exploitation and where it comes from and how to end it rather than just having a hatred for it. Once root causes are understood the vague desire for “fairness” you have gives way to conscious action toward the abolition of the class system itself

If you do not want a world built on exploitation or an economy divided into those who own and those who work to survive you have already adopted the the communist position whether you have adopted the name or not.

I said when Ras Baraka was arrested that it was a break glass moment of the Democratic party. It should have triggered a 100% McConnell version blockade. No votes for anything. End of story. Instead they are still approving Trump's nominees, lol.

Make it aspirational to be a fucking cultural elitist again

These issues themselves are fine but the refusal to place immigration and the secret police terrorizing our families alongside those issues presumably means that a bunch of leadership are white supremacists and I am fairly comfortable jumping to that conclusion at this point.

Thanks. We have folks in our community giving vulnerable students rides to school, and a teacher shared that they were putting small stuffed animals on their dashboards to help kids identify safe cars. ICE picked up on it and started doing the same. Horrifying.

half-baked take: Enemy may be the Birth of the 2010s

New: We built an interactive map of every ICE contractor working with the Trump administration. readsludge.com/2026/01/16/t...

fun things I am excited to do in my personal life in 2026: - Marx theory class - woodworking classes + woodworking at home - Spanish classes - new writing group - teaching myself to draw + found some organizing leads in my new town AND building a clock from a kit

If your position that leftists not voting costs you elections and you insist on nominating candidates unacceptable to leftists, then you're either lying or you don't want to win

ICE has kidnapped one of my MN News Guild siblings

what a legend lmao

the first governor to tell these fucks he's gonna personally kick their ass could become president i swear to god
