Columbia Heights (Liam's school district) cancelled school today because of a credible bomb threat at Liam's elementary and multiple ICE vehicles parking in the high school staff parking lot at 6:15am.

ICE in my neighborhood this morning. They've started pretending like they're observers, rolling through neighborhoods honking their horns like they've spotted an ICE vehicle to bait people out of their homes. Stay safe out there.

Developing a hypothesis based on each new Epstein revelation I see on the tl

Not a judgment and IDK how you overcome it but...it's striking that every time a fresh national news story drops about ICE in the Twin Cities (ProPublica today), a lot of people respond with "Wow, I didn't realize it was that bad" and everyone in MN goes "Yes and it's a hundred times worse"

It is February 1st. Rent is due. Donate to a rent fund today: www.standwithminnesota.com

Minneapolis has shown we don’t need a charter amendment or an ordinance to build a department of public safety. In just two months, under a federal occupation, we have shown the world what it looks like to build community-led safety, and how we can abolish ICE & the police.

We need an eviction moritorium now. Today the judge in the lawsuit against DHS did not issue a preliminary injunction to halt Operation Metro Surge. While we are not done with litigation, this is deeply troubling for our community that will continue to suffer.

Fuck Jacob Frey, Eviction Moratorium Now

Seriously!! @jchavezmpls.bsky.social especially rn, but also always @aurinmpls.bsky.social , @robin4mpls.bsky.social , @elliottpayne.org, @ward10.minneapolismn.gov,&@sorenwithward8.bsky.social show me every day how elected officials can do the real work. Frey should be ASHAMED by the comparison.

It is the duty of the revolution to put an end to compromise, and to put an end to compromise means taking the path of socialist revolution.

So for Dems, the win is: reiterating 3 things that are already law, 1 thing that is a best practice, and 1 thing that was already a rule up until 6 months ago? From the bottom of my heart: fuck off with this. And they didn't even include ICE out of hospitals, healthcare facilities and daycares.

Reminder: - Nothing being reported on ICE withdrawing - By govt’s own admission, 2,000 ICE invaders here, a still-astounding number - Unclear how many CPB agents will be removed - Tom Homan, the new Bovino, was the force behind ICE’s family separation policy, a bribe-taker, and a monster

Minneapolis mayor @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social has spent more money, more time, more public works labor displacing our homeless brothers and sisters than displacing fascist murderers. No concrete rubble dumped to impede them. No miles of fences were erected for them. No 3am raids with bulldozers.

The struggle against the political police requires special qualities; it requires professional revolutionaries. And we must see to it, not only that the masses “advance” concrete demands, but that the masses of the workers “advance” an increasing number of such professional revolutionaries.

Spotted between the 694-94 interchange and Broadway exit, headed southbound on 94. Exceeded 80 mph in a 60, weaving through traffic. Driver wearing a mask behind the wheel. #ice #iceout

Fascism is extremism. Anti-fascism is not. We’re living in a period of reality inversion and moral inversion.

I read Kamala’s 107 Days…and I think all the excerpts and online discussion paint a misleading picture of her level of reflection about the genocide and her handling of it during the campaign. She basically doubles down on her approach in the book…

“What are you talking about” Exhibit a bsky.app/profile/gove...

Kirk’s end was the logical conclusion of the very forces he unleashed, a violent symptom of a social order in a state of advanced decay. He lived by the gun, ideologically speaking, and he perished by it.

remember when two democrat elected officials were shot in their homes and republicans memed that was interesting huh

the only thing capitalism offers is distractions from the barrel of the gun pressed into our face from oligarchical economic violence

this has to be rage bait. this can't be a real take.

If you keep sacrificing your nominal allies to the meat grinder in hopes that you will eventually once again get to be in charge of the meat grinder's operation, you'll one day look around and realize you're alone with the folks demanding ever more ground human.

if i ever speak like this about people being massacred, i want you all to put me in a hole and fill it with lava

Crazy that there's a guy named Linux Tarballs, and his parents named him before either existed

In the message posted just before he was killed, Anas Al-Sharif warned of Israel's proposed liquidation of Gaza City. He said: "Silence is complicity." He was right. It's just not the disgusting cheerleaders of the genocide who are guilty. It's those who chose to stay silent.

My coworker and I got 2nd at the defcon kubernetes CTF! Gunning for 1st next year!

Trump’s voter approval in the nation is higher than Jacob Frey’s in Minneapolis 😂

Mpls political historians put the Frey loss in context. You have to go back 81 YEARS to find a similarly brutal failure. Put another way: Joe Biden was an infant when this last occurred.

Abroad the U.S. is in the verge of bombing a country without cause. At home masked agents are arresting officials and disappearing our people. There is no disentangling war overseas and fascism at home. Everyone who opposes fascism must oppose Trump illegally attacking Iran.

imogen: one of the reasons I think liberals hate Lenin so much is that he had a spine, a firm position, a set of sincere beliefs that he was prepared to fight for. the ideal capitalist citizen believes in nothing, accepts everything, and is only interested in their next purchase

BREAKING: A fucking ICE agent rammed into a car full of U.S. citizens—then fled the scene. LAPD confirms it. This wasn’t a routine stop. This was state-sanctioned racial profiling turned felony hit-and-run. ICE is operating like a gang now. Where’s the accountability?

you show signs of wanting to change the party for the better and they oust you, this party has learned absolutely nothing from 2016, from 2020, and from 2024 and never will

I’ve written & deleted a dozen posts about Craig & the fascism resolution but this tells the tale: famously risk-shy Democratic leadership urged a vote against, and Angie just noped. She’s not a Senator who we need to stand strong against a police state. There are other choices.

Live shot of the respectability police joining the protest discourse

Had a nice trip to Chicago! It's also nice to be home though.

The Minneapolis mayoral election seems pretty simple to me. You get to rank three candidates. Rank the three who showed up for Minneapolis today. Do not rank the one already in charge of the complicit police department.

happy pride

Absolutely beautiful tasting menu at Cariño in Chicago. My first time doing a tasting menu, and I'm incredibly impressed.

as scott adams also announced he has prostate cancer, there’s going to be an entire generation of gen x that just dies younger due to trusting snake oil salesmen over real doctor practices endorsed by an entire political party designed to lie to them

Good scenery on the Empire Builder!
