I'm doing the work. You don't have to care, but it's being done and the stakes are high. So maybe instead of looking at the people who put it on the line to stop the shit in a history book and say THOSE MARTYRS MADE A DIFFERENCE you're not a fuckface to the protesters while they're alive.

Have a pal who will match the first $1,000 you all donate to the Immigrant Law Center TODAY. You can reply with verification (make sure ID info obscured) or DM me. Thanks everyone!

I was trying to give them a chance to respond, but it's been 15 hrs and nothing so: LA WorldCon is using genAI "art" on their website and promo materials. Given everything that went down last year (and with SWFA recently), it's pretty disheartening to see this.

Just bought this for my mom for her birthday. She is going to love it.

A very fun reminder from me— a Jewish disabled queer person— that disabled people were some of the first to be murdered by Nazis, and we are also routinely VERY specifically denied access to immigration and denied asylum because we are often seen as “a burden”.

They are 💯 getting this ready now. We MUST be three steps ahead.

When Trump dies we get Vance. Thiel’s pet. They'll blame a lot of stuff on Trump AND try to fast-track an even uglier white supremacist techno-Christofascism. We must prept for this now & organize accordingly. Grassroots activism, coalitions. Dissent. Sand in gears. Strikes. Every angle.

I have been told that this undercover ICE agent tried to get observers to scan a QR code “for his website”. The QR code did not resolve to a link. DO NOT SCAN UNKNOWN QR CODES FROM STRANGERS. This is a massive security risk! Bad things can happen to you if you do it! Stay frosty, friends.

GOOD FOR HER!

Small thread. I was driving up to @makwacoffee.bsky.social bc I knew Roseville (a suburb next to St Paul) was lousy w/ ICE. 1/2 mile away I drive past an ICE agent, so I flip around (following every traffic law) & enter a lot where there were 5-6 ICE vehicles & probably 8 observer cars.

But the point is for about 2 hours these 5-6 cars did nothing except drive around Roseville, constantly observed by the Roseville Liberation Front made up of retirees and librarians. They can't do shit. They are outnumbered. Their operation is shit & ground to a halt. never got my fucking coffee tho

Good mini thread

I'm already seeing and hearing too many bad stories today and the day has barely started. If you can do something to help today, do something to help today.

This part. Right here.

*stares in Black American* My own country hates me. Not sure what I’m supposed to do with this “revelation”

They are absolutely fucking everywhere today. If you can be out, go out

hey, y'all. my name is madi and i'm a reporter for the minnesota reformer. i cover the trump administration's impact on minnesotans, which means i've been out on the streets covering ICE in the twin cities. let me walk you through how we got here:

We should simply just not let him back into the country

If I walk up to you with hammer and say “I could break your knees if you don’t give me $20 but I won’t,” would you feel relieved that I’d ruled out breaking your knees?

Incredibly grateful to the local press who have been telling stories like this.

Remember how happy we were when we thought he was dead

He’s in Switzerland, where they are more or less all speaking German.

Want to help Minnesotans currently under siege? Friends on the ground say this food bank is delivering to folks who are having to stay inside to avoid ICE harassment. www.2harvest.org

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

Nuclear proliferation. No one is talking about it but it's definitely an issue that Greenland highlights. Every middle power in the world from Germany to South Korea to Brazil now has an incentive to secretly develop nuclear weapon capability.

Right on cue, here are the push alerts from the 3 major newspapers lmao

World-historical batshitness: "We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength & force where we would be frankly, unstoppable. But I won't do that. Now everyone's saying 'oh good.' …I won't use force. All the United States is asking for is a place called Greenland."

This man is talking about stealing a country at gunpoint from nations the US is allied with. Of course Europeans hate us. You would feel the same way if you were in their place. American voters put this man in power, he didn’t seize it this time.

“Democrats obscured Biden’s cognitive decline” is really being blown out of the water by “Republicans are embracing and profiting from Trump’s cognitive decline.”

Yeah we may need a thread of Tips For Surviving The Cold and/or Ice and/or Snow again. (As long as folks can like, be normal about it & not forget the entire south has like 7 snowplows)

This is a more accurate metric of impending bad weather than the Waffle House Index

Hey folks! Just want to say THANK YOU to everyone who has sent spools of filament to the printers over the past few days. Your notes are being shared in the group and making people misty eyed and hopeful. (Sometimes literally, thank you Hope.) You can find their wishlists here: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

So uh This is so unethical it feels like we need a stronger word for how unethical it is

Look who just endorsed the January 23 Minnesota-wide shutdown to protest the federal assault! “No work, no school, no shopping.”

“may your grandkids race to change their names” is actually an incredible curse we should all start adding to our repertoire it’s gonna be true of a lot of these people

One day, the masks will be off and we will know justice Minnehaha Creek Minneapolis, MN 1/20/26

If I wanted to work on learning a new language, what kind of good app options are out there? I don't want Duolingo because I've heard they now use AI.

Reposting because you are precious

"OTHER PEOPLE" = THE JEWS "OTHER PEOPLE" = THE JEWS "OTHER PEOPLE" = THE JEWS "This fantasy of invisible Jewish power explains how Black Americans, a supposed inferior race, could orchestrate the end to Jim Crow." - Eric Ward Here's a two (2) min video; pls watch! www.facebook.com/westernstate...

I got to spend some time in a medical burn unit over the holidays (for a family member who went through some shit but is fine now), and one of the things the surgeon mentioned offhandedly is that they're seeing a ton of people with burns from electric gloves

What does being a billionaire mean in a country (and a world) where the US dollar doesnt mean shit?

And I don’t think this list is even complete! My Instagram is just wall to wall “local businesses announcing they’re closing the 23rd”

We will be closed Friday, January 23rd. We stand with and love our community. We hope you take care of yourself and others…share acts of kindness, take time to rest and recharge, and enjoy music’s place in your life.

Why are MN corporations being such chickenshits about what is happening at their front doors? Even if they have no moral issue with kidnapping, family separation, violent goons attacking free speech, and so forth - surely this is bad for business? Surely they are losing money. What do they gain?

Minnesota's Republican House Speaker Lisa Demuth made a Facebook post critical of an anti-ICE protest at a church, and got ratioed by her own daughter in the comments www.facebook.com/LisaforMN/po...

THERE ARE NO WALMARTS IN MINNEAPOLIS

if we could reach $10k tonight that would be dope
