Observers and concerned neighbors are using whistles to bring attention to the scene of ICE raids on the streets of Minneapolis. Here's how the whistle became the symbol of the anti-ICE resistance @startribune.com www.startribune.com/whistle-symb...

I am a professional social media manager and I know how to make posts that get thousands of likes (and consistently do on my work accounts) and I just want to say: it does not fix you, and it will not make you happy or more powerful in any meaningful sense of the word.

I’m begging some people to touch grass. Big number make brain go brrrrrrrrr and break

Afternoon, Minneapolis. Today the sun will set after 5 p.m. in the Twin Cities.

As Manny González of "Tortas" fame talked to @nickhalter.bsky.social from his kitchen, the sound of whistles could be heard just outside Midtown Global Market's doors as ICE agents walked by. "They just abducted another person," a market staff person said. www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

Ok for a bit of joy I went to the too fancy weed store in north loop yesterday and look at the packaging!!! Minnesota is the greatest and I won’t be hearing otherwise

“millions of people are being radicalized through widely available snuff films of people that— depending on the viewer—they might profoundly identify with, or dismiss as ungrievable.“ This essay unpacks what it does to a society to watch people die on social media.
