"Summer Silhouette" by Japanese artist Ichiro Tsuruta.

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Love is precious. It is sacred. It is rare in a cruel world and it is worth dying for. It is worth relentlessly pursuing your love for innocents you do not know. It is worthy of laying your life down for.

An old friend of mine has died. Someone I loved very much I’m having to mourn them very much alone. It is too heavy to carry. The grief keeps buckling me.

If you’re gonna end up on a list anyway might as well make it worth it.

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

my friend’s partner has lost a leg as a very unexpected result to surgery, please help if you can gofund.me/8df149f56

I think it’s time to cry about it.

This is critical because the past two years have seen a lot of viral calls for general strikes on a range of vital issues, but these have rarely materialized into the organizing power & logistical coordination necessary for an actual general strike.

1) The general strike came from organizing for a general strike. Not from social media posting about going on a general strike, but organizing in neighbourhoods, organizing power in unions, and organizations drawing out members and networks.

With so many of us watching the tremendous mobilizations in Minneapolis, culminating in the call to action against ICE today, I wanted to share some of what I have gathered from talking to comrades in Minneapolis over the past few weeks. A few things stood out:

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

If you learn nothing else from the last few weeks, you can clearly now see from Minneapolis that regular people, neighbors, strangers, people like you and me, can come together, form community, and become a force for the good of all

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

My friends local to Minnesota, whom I trust a great deal, would like to share the following resources that could use support. PowWowGrounds - Native American Coffee Shop doing direct food and supply aid to their communities- Venmo @powwowgrounds www.powwowgrounds.com

Anyone in Minneapolis have a large-venue laser projector to project these onto a building?

I am calling for an immediate ban on the phrase "clashed with" in headlines

"Oppression is the mask of fear."

you know what's beautiful, and it can be easy to forget, but the people. the people are beautiful.

This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime. d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/IC...

There should be a golden globe for the best my cat and it should go to my cat

Protesters Urged Not To Give Trump Administration Pretext For What It Already Doing https://theonion.com/protesters-urged-not-to-give-trump-administration-pretext-for-what-it-already-doing/

I insist that we are many and they are few.

do you guys hear that bell tolling? wonder who it’s for. it’s so loud lmao

Portland Police Press conference on the shooting of 2 Portlanders: -DHS said the victims had been involved with a shooting. Nope! -But they were def part of Tren de Aragua -actually no -But TdA is real and active in Portland -We can't name single crime TdA has been involved with in this city

A gentle reminder in your grief that Renee Good was out there to protect her Black and brown neighbors from ethnic cleansing. That is still the mission. The focus should remain on slowing down the ethnic cleansing campaign and on protecting Black and brown families and communities from destruction.

it’s incredibly important to note that on the new footage that came out from the ICE agent himself, halfway through the video he switches his phone between his hands, opening up to grab his gun way before renee good even starts driving

The world needs to know that Ross called her a “fucking bitch” after murdering her. That’ll surely exonerate him

Jonathan Ross said "fucking bitch" seconds after he shot Renee Good in the head. This video conclusively proves this was a cold blooded murder.

The ICE agent called her a "fucking bitch" after he killed her. One officer screams "Go, get out of here" while this officer says "Get out of the car." You clearly see her turn the wheel AWAY from him after he steps in front of her car. Did they think releasing this would help them?? cw // violence

If you’re still talking about impeachment as a solution. don’t talk to me. Don’t even look at me.

“Fuck ICE!” chants & a brass band performing “Which side are you on?” as hundreds march in Manhattan, NYC against ICE and in solidarity with Minneapolis.

Seeing lots of flyers for local demos tomorrow in response to today’s ICE murder. The flyers have 50501, PSL and DSA logos. BE CAREFUL. These are honeypots that will get you kettled. 50501 called the cops on a demonstrator last year. The fucking irony.

If you were beaten for good they would not invest so much money in keeping you down. The opposite. You have not been beaten and they are obligated to spend and spend and spend and spend. Because THAT is what it takes to keep you down. For now.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

abolishing the domestic terror group ICE is the moderate position at this point

Trump Asks National Intelligence Point-Blank If God Real https://theonion.com/trump-asks-national-intelligence-point-blank-if-god-real/

tomorrow's not real it can't hurt us

RICO charges dropped against ‘Stop Cop City’ defendants. “A Georgia judge on Tuesday said he will toss the racketeering charges against all 61 defendants accused of a years-long conspiracy to halt the construction of a police and firefighter training facility..." apnews.com/article/atla...

Trump was impeached twice during his last term, and not removed from office. I’m gonna need a lot of you to think bigger here.

I can't believe calling him Drumpf hasn't worked yet

Happening now: several hundred people are pouring into Chicago's downtown Federal Plaza. It's 25 degrees outside. Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!" Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."

Few hundred people out protesting Trump’s invasion of Venezuela in downtown Portland, OR

GRIS #art

AUMF were justified in some way but this is an even more blatant and direct power grab by the presidency than anything we've seen before. This war is the pure rule by fiat of a dictatorship and it's only going to get worse until it's ended Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

It's also worth pointing out that attacking Venezuela is pure tyrant shit there's not even the fig leaf of the AUMF here Trump is a dictator starting a war and lighting the Constitution on fire to do it. I emphasize this not because the horrors committed under the Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
