Any man's death diminishes me, Because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

I wrote the speech I *wish* Chuck Schumer would give tonight - as an actual opposition leader. Here it is: "My fellow Americans: At this hour, an unrestrained force of militarized and violent federal officers is carrying out a project of ethnic cleansing in the streets of American cities." 1/14

Our vigil was beautiful from beginning to end, but the moment that destroyed me was when a neighbor I’ve never met cane into the circle and said, with a crack in his voice, “I haven’t talked to anyone about it yet. I need to be here.“

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.

we are going to win and you can tell we are going to win from the simple fact that they are not even trying to besiege (at this level) more than one major American city at the same time and in every city they pull out of the population is more organized against them than it was when they arrived

rest easy. your impunity is surely durable enough to last the change in leadership brought about if not entirely, at least significantly, by your own actions

don’t worry: the red-faced dweeb who looks like a nerd who was swirlied so bad his hair got sucked off tweeted that you’re allowed to kill anyone you want, which, the dog-killing tv addict who spends most of her time playing princess rambo dress up for school shooters assures you, is “probably true”

Just the ones I can think of right now there’s a shit ton more, a huge b-plot of Deuteronomy is just “be nice to immigrants they’ve been through enough you fuckass shitwits”

“You shall not wrong or oppress a stranger, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.” Exodus 22:20

so you’re a low-level agent of a state apparatus responsible for a high-profile incident of unjustifiable violence. never fear: your boss is a capricious layabout whose defining characteristic, aside from disloyalty, is his annoyance at anything that distracts him from looking at a hole in his lawn

Man, everywhere you look lawyers are still flinging themselves into fights. I know some people will disagree about the usefulness of taking shit to court but I think it's important that we're still doing that. We're still behaving as if the law has meaning.

Yesterday, we joined tens of thousands to march. This am, ICE responded with violence. Alex was an ICU nurse, a union sibling, & an observer who stepped in to help. This is a union state. We will continue to show up, to watch, to document, and fight ICE is not welcome here.

Neighbors are fighting bullets with candles tonight. We win, ICE mf'ers.

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

A warning to ICE, CBP, DHS, and all other fuckwad acronym agents: Putting out false information to cover up a murder exposes you to a prison sentence equal to half the sentence of the murder itself. So y’all are potentially looking at double digit years in prison. Minn. Stat. 609.495, subd. 3.

This also goes for Democrats saying "Well in private my colleagues have shared their concerns." Your colleagues have lost the right to stay anonymous. Call a goddamn press conference and name them.

Is there a go fund me for Chauntell Allyn (I may be spelling her name wrong)

I love us I love you we are going to win

Woke Hoth will never back down ✊

The solidarity is off the goddamned charts

If folks don't know what to do with their rage today, and they have cash, I suggest going to standwithminnesota.com and finding someone who needs help

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.

I'm 50. There's been a few studies that shows I might live to 100. I NEVER, ever wanted to live that long until all this started. Now I hope every day I live to see 100+ so I can see and help in the little ways I can with this catastrophe for as long as I can. But I know I won't see the finish.

I'm not sure Democrats in D.C. are aware that their base's rage against ICE has reached a level of blinding white-hot intensity. They're worried about "looking weak" for voting "against law enforcement" when they should be worried a mob of housewives is going to come beat them to death if they do.

The DHS funding bill is effectively dead in the Senate.

The time has come where the DFL can no longer pretend that things are business as usual. @dfl.org @rcarlbom.bsky.social it’s time to pivot to contactless caucuses to protect our precinct caucus attendees and volunteers from harm at the hands of ICE.

do these guys not realize there's a paycheck database with all of their names in it or like what

Good afternoon. Abolish Ice. Somehow posting this every day grounds me.

red bull canceled their event. and now the timberwolves game and st. paul winter carnival parade are canceled tonight i believe if anything breaks the ICE siege, it will be via tourism and commerce being impacted. remember how institutions didn’t take covid seriously in 2020 until the NBA canceled?

I can't speak to what's going on with every kind of Gun Freak in this country but I do lurk a prepper forum because they always have good coupons for beans and shit and they're uh. They're not happy about all this. Its starting to get real "tree of liberty" over there actually

Throwing funds on the various mutual aid groups on this list. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I attempted to go to an ICE patrol training here in LA this morning and they had to turn most of us away because of capacity issues and even as I was leaving I saw a ton more folks showing up so that’s how well their attempts to scare everyone away are going, even in the face of murder

Guys, I'm gonna keep it real with you: It suffices that MN keeps showing up in huge numbers and disrupts ICE wherever they find them. That's a winning playbook. Entirely aside from the question of whether violence is justified: why interrupt the enemy when they're making a mistake?

Thank you to the #SaintPaul Winter Carnival for making the difficult decision to cancel today's parade.

🧊🔥 Join us tomorrow, January 24th from 1-3pm at Eagles 34 in Minneapolis for a Legal Observer Training led by Twin Cities DSA! You'll learn best practices for non-violent peaceful action as a Legal Observer within your community. Register here: buff.ly/uU0WOYf

I know the winter Carnival is just starting but the Vulcans need to get off their asses and abolish ICE already

Here's me eating a donut at Glam Doll after playing hooky from work to go to the MIA with my wife. It was the best day ever. I'm posting this because I want you to remember all the good memories that have been made in these places. WE WILL WIN, and we will make beautiful memories again. #abolishICE

Minnesota, please be liberal with your use of the blocking functions on all social media today. Support is welcome! ❤️ Tangible support even more so. StandWithMinnesota.com Directions and instructions from people who do lot live here are emphatically not welcome.

Yall outside of MN need to know that observers are STILL out protecting their neighbors. Right now. They know the news and they’re still out there.

I suggest turning off video auto-play today. Go to profile, settings, content/media and make sure the toggle is pushed left.

You do not have to watch the video. You do not have to watch the video with sound on. You should not watch the video with sound on. You should not watch the video. Do not watch the video.

What’s especially cool is that everyone finds a job & they’re all different. Friends w/an apartment overlooking the protest today opened their home to total strangers for bathroom/warming up Some people are sourcing breastmilk for babies whose moms are taken Some making activity kits for kids @ home

The Bloomington community has stepped up in a big way to support our vulnerable neighbors at this time, but we are still about $5,000 short to meet the "rent is due on 2/1" requests. Are you able to give to our Mutual Aid fund? Check your job for matching funds! givebutter.com/bloomingtonMA

I fucking looooove Yum Yum Sauce, but just KNOW it's some garbage a sushi chef made up to patronize some white guy like me. Me:"Chef, what do you call this?" Chef: "Yum Yum Sauce!" *to himself *enjoy that shit, you basic American idiot*

The thing about having children to find meaning in your own life is that sometimes that doesn't happen and then you really fucked up someone else's life, too
