Already seeing people not from around here saying "Minnesota won" and I just— It's not over yet. We don't know if they'll actually withdraw. And the damage is overwhelming. We need a lot of fucking help here. And there are still people in concentration camps. Abolish ICE, shut down DHS, prosecute.

hang on i want to see something, reply with what comes next FISH

welcome to Operation Shhh No We Didn't You Are

I'll believe it when Minnesota folks confirm it. Otherwise I'll assume it's just an Israeli-style ceasefire

Whether he's telling the truth or not, the goal remains the same: ICE must be abolished and DHS dismantled and those responsible for the ongoing terror in Minnesota and every other state over the last twenty years, held accountable for the harm they've done.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

Witnessing violent abductions or hearing people witness them or reading accounts or watching videos and seeing pictures after the fact can really mess you up. That they can happen any time & anywhere? Every day? Also fucks you up. Anyway. We're having a blast in Minnesota! (Hang in there, pals.)

Rascal and the freelancers gathered material proof for months for the article. They worked off of solid documentation and when published, they open the floor for questions, did a 2 hour deep dive on their method and the backghround, and even went and in good faith amended their article based on...

No one is playing Relooted despite the fanfare in the press and during the SGF block. This follows a larger trend of games journalists and readers celebrating games that center marginalized voices but not actually playing the games or engaging with them or supporting the developers financially

Relooted looks fucking incredible, yall love heists this one is a no-brainer

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

It's my birthday this weekend! Moneys been eh and i had to cancel my gift for myself but itd be neat to spend on stuff if you throw money at me and mention A Guy I can do a lil doodle as a thank you! ko-fi.com/hotsoup0739

Please support my fellow South Africans and citizens of other African countries who made this.

GET IN LOSERS, WE'RE HELPING FAMILIES

and, I can’t believe I have to say that: queer kids need online community, because they are far more likely to be isolated, get bullied and harassed in real life, so isolating them even more is -not protecting them-. this is also -the point of age verification-.

The Nibiru: Revisited KS is getting closer, so check our preview page! www.kickstarter.com/projects/xan... Explore a vast, Mesopotamian-inspired space station as one of the Vagabonds; amnesiacs in a search for their lost recollections - hunted for the secrets buried in their hidden past.

"does anyone know how to get connected in x neighborhood" part of the american sickness is definitely the isolation within communities that makes it difficult or impossible to know your neighbors well enough to build a network support system

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them

ah but you see my victims are using what we in the academic community refer to as "sand-throwing", where after I push a peasant onto the ground they take a handful of sand and throw it in my face and it REALLY STINGS STOP DOING IT

My latest: Applauding community defense is not enough. We are organizing resistance to a concentration camp regime. The front lines are everywhere. (Plus resources and my must-reads list!)

I need people to understand that if you’ve dealt with ice, if you’ve had to worry about you or your kids or neighbors disappearing, if you see the govt giving nazis carte blanche to kill you, every “reform”’ from democrats who currently reject abolition sounds insane. and frankly fucking stupid

This week's episode of the Rascal Radio Hour podcast is a longer, more casual discussion of the recent Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast article, including questions and criticisms sent in by readers.

How do you fix journalism? Fucking pay for it. Stop complaining about paywalls and subscribe. The rise of right-wing media is because the rich funded it. The fall of legacy media is because the rich funded it and then decided not to.

this unprecedented momentum behind a single issue sure might be a useful fulcrum to try and wrench this country back from over the brink

WE LOVE YOU ARIZONA

This is civic action. Surprise, Arizona. Pop. 167,000. Huge crowd shows up to the City Council meeting to oppose DHS recent purchase of ginormous warehouse. Meeting + overflow room filled and hundreds more gathered outside. 130 people sign up to speak. 128 opposed to ICE warehouse.

Just no longer engaging with people who can only imagine social progress through the lens of legislation. Y’all got it.

Happy 1 year anniversary to our debut game, Spirit Swap! To celebrate we’ve teamed up with the incredible @noroadhome.itch.io to make a tarot based solo TTRPG where you too can be a spirit swapping witch! We’re launching it very soon on Kickstarter for #ZineQuest💕

The amount of observers that have been detained today in the city already that I’ve seen videos of is really spooky.It’s very clear that ice is now just straight up targeting observers in an effort to quash people watching them. It’s also clear that they are absolutely keeping databases of observers

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Lots of regular degular, never-done-an-activism folks have been activated in recent months and are working alongside a bunch of seasoned, die-hard, been-tired-for-ten-years-or-more organizers, and you don't know all of those stories bc most people are moving with a bit of discretion in these times.

"The world is on fire and I need a break but also I cant afford to completely disengage so I need escape media that still keeps my revolutionary brain working", a thread of suggestions:

Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

It's ALWAYS the case that some groups of people were organizing against the thing you are saying no one organized against in real time.

We take our wins where we can find them. We celebrate Liam Ramos's return home because it reminds us that bringing people home is possible. We celebrate people paying rent and receiving groceries because it reminds us that feeding and housing people is possible. Then we return to the work.

Free them all

It’s day 62 of the ICE occupation of MSP. Get out there and shovel your immigrant neighbor’s sidewalks- it’s a great way to help a neighbor in hiding, and you can watch out for ICE in your neighborhood at the same time!

Turn off your biometric unlocks, folks.

Many years ago, students told me that sometimes they're afraid to get politically involved and asked for advice. I told them I get scared too. And when I do, I try my best to not have it cause problems for others braver than me. That sometimes my contribution is staying out of the way.

It’s so hard to describe what this is like to people who aren’t here. The ICE/BCP occupation seeps into everything. It’s not just the horror of the big stuff. It’s the little stuff, too: helicopters all night, vigilance during every trip out of the house, guilt at having any downtime at all.

Keep Eyes on Springfield, we are gathering and preparing. Please hit us up through our local networks if you want to help! Might take a few days because we are hustling right now #SpringfieldOhio doesn't want ICE here. (graphics made by abortionfundofohio.org)

I have increasingly low patience for people trying to find ways to make AI "okay" within the work of resistance, in the name of unity or the greater good or whatever REAL ARTISTS ARE MAKING ART FOR THE RESISTANCE ALREADY, GO FIND THEM

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...

WE LOVE YOU SEATTLE

WE LOVE YOU CHICAGO

vent: im begging you to care about more than just white trans people

Please buy books that are coming out this year. Doesn’t have to be mine. But there is a stellar release calendar this year especially of Black writers and it would be a shame if one of the fascist victories was people not buying those books (from the indies that are in the fight with us). #BookSky

These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

yall know ICE is in more places than just Minneapolis right like its loud here because they sent in an army but if you live in or near a city i guarantee you ice is there too get yourselves organized stop waiting for them to come for you grab a whistle and a signal chat

I keep saying this and obviously it applies to any place where there's a headline-grabbing crisis/war/situation/etc: What you see in the news stories about the Twin Cities, even the deep-dive articles, is a *fraction* of what's actually happening. Countless other stories untold.
