Also crucially we get paid when libraries buy our books! There is nothing to be sorry about ever in borrowing a fave author’s books from a library! It is one of the few “everybody wins” situations in life!

What is hope, if not spite persevering?

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

time to build another dream

stop being silly in front of me #art

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Verbal assault or, as it's legally known, "not assault"

thinking about that post that says “answering DMs requires a spell slot while posting is a cantrip you can use repeatedly”

ICE and MAGA really did bet the farm on all of Minneapolis’s white people going “oh yes, please take away our disgusting, evil non-white-foreigner neighbors, oh thank you so much.” it’s beautiful that they’ve been proven incredibly wrong about that - may the rest of the country do the same.

Just finished catching up on Countdown to Countdown and I'm actually so devastated there's not more to read, gonna go cry and scream and start from the beginning again and also give all my money to @velinxi.bsky.social

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

"At a certain point American citizens need to stand up and do something 🤓☝️" -- some random European Shut the fuck up. Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

I’m gonna go be really gay now

SCOOP from Douglas Macmillan Medical examiner believes death of man in ICE custody was homicide, recording says www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Didn't expect it to be fractions that would be taking me out 10 years after I graduated high school

I dont mind going grey, but I kinda wanted to wait to start getting grey hair until I'd turned 30 LOL

I know this won’t get a lot of attention beyond “well it’s New Hampshire, what did you expect” but I want you all to know there are a lot of kids and families of color here and we all deserve better than this kind of garbage representation

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning. I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

It matters that it’s Lyndale in North Minneapolis not south Minneapolis. It matters that it’s north Minneapolis.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

ICE officers are publicly stating that Renee Good was killed not because an officer was threatened but because they were made at her for not instantly following every order issued. The new ICE threat to protestors is: "Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch."

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

Do you know how bad you have to fuck up to radicalize St. Cloud?

They expect us to hold their hurt feelings as more pressing than our very lives. They’re not unclear about Ross killing Good. They’re trying to “but technically” their way into publicly saying she deserved to die like that.

All my fun sword fight battle shows always gotta get sidetracked with LOVE INTERESTS ??? RUDE ! Just give me the fights !

the democrats are right we should focus on kitchen table issues. for example there is a guy at my kitchen table who wants to shoot me in the face with a gun

“Target declined to comment”

My 14yo tells me kids who use ChatGPT are referred to as "third-party thinkers"

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

In addition to calling or emailing directly, there's a petition about the eviction moratorium!

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org

please share this GFM fundraiser for this man kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis. i know a lot of you are out there mad about Renee Good, but ICE never quits.

Defund the police.

They’re gonna pretend to care about children and sex trafficking while they let Twitter lurch along creating AI-revenge porn and CSAM for a fee

I know it's hard to shock these days but Elon Musk going full Rhodesia defender and calling for the ethnic cleansing of the US should still shock you. These are neo nazi views that were only previously shared on explicitly neo nazi sites.

No one knows I have miso soup in my coffee mug and not coffee hehehe

Seeing a lot of false postings out there. Despite the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's recent closure, PBS and NPR are still VERY MUCH ALIVE and active. They're just more dependent than ever upon the generosity of Viewers Like You! Please support your local station! pbs.org/donate

Silverio Villegas Gonzalez was shot & killed by ICE on Sept 12 ICE chased Jaime Alanis off the roof of a greenhouse; he broke his neck & died on July 12 ICE chased Roberto Carlos Montoya Valdez into traffic where he was hit & killed on Aug 14 Josué Castro Rivera was killed the same way on Oct 23

These fucking politicians need to STOP CONSTANTLY admonishing protestors to be "peaceful" while they are being brutalized regularly by the gatekeepers of the state. You should be up there telling ICE and Border Patrol to be fucking peaceful.

This statement is really disturbing. Really, really disturbing Especially when you consider that just 5 years ago, even the racist MPD union head Bob Kroll called the murder of George Floyd “horrific” and they worked to salvage their reputation

I don't like the death squads

The FBI has taken over the investigations into the shooting in Minneapolis and tonight’s shooting in Portland. How many more?!?!?
