MPS superintendent telling like it is

❤️

Shall I compare thee to a fucking jerk

Hell of a start to Whiskey Friday…

new: Minnesota Timberwolves chaplain and activist Matt Moberg FaceTimed me from an ICE blanketed parking lot about his empathy for Anthony Edwards, Wemby's provocative statement about the Spurs, and the value (if any) of athletes speaking out. we ended early because ICE tried to arrest his mom.

reminder that a small handful of Republicans in the House and Senate could end this madness today

do literally fucking anything right now

I just cannot understand a political movement that has no positive ideas, only belligerence

Fact: The 3,000 federal immigration agents in the Twin Cities matches the total number of employees it takes to run our regional mass transit system. You could run Metro Transit with the number of personnel deployed for Operation Metro Surge.

Either we all have rights or none of us do

Not to mention our "leaders"

If there's ever a history museum dedicated to this time period make sure this sentence gets displayed there

They gave a bunch of roided up thugs weapons and made them immune from legal consequences. You can't really tinker around the edges of something like that, you have to end it

This sign has been on school grounds for at least the last week

Did I mention that large portions of MN’s population are in hiding right now? Kids are missing school. Adults can’t go out to work. People aren’t able to buy food or pay rent, and mutual aid is all keeping everyone going. We keep us safe, on our own, and people are being shot in the street for it

Solidarity across race, class, gender and other lines confuses and scares the fascists because they don’t understand that kind of love for strangers and neighbors. Many have never felt it. It is a physical demonstration that their ideology is a dead end.

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

Nobody *wants* to be fighting these battles but surely there's a lesson between the Minneapolis type of response to their tactics and the immediate capitulation of our universities and media

Define "at large"

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

“What happened then?” asked Toad. “I had to save my life,” said Frog.

Either we all have rights or none of us do

Do the horrors need to be so much

*shows up to first rodeo* hey

They don't want you to know how easy, effective, and satisfying it is to help your community

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

Schumer now to the right of Kristol ffs

We've got fresh hell at home

A running list of things that are older than ICE:

Good day to turn off autoplay imo, the horrors are enough as is

Among other things, I've seen multiple people out jogging the past two days, these folks are a different breed

it's almost like things didn't have to be this way

let’s just put that fantasy to rest that there’s anything you can be, do, or say that will matter to these people

They don't want you to know how easy, effective, and satisfying it is to help your community

*shows up to first rodeo* hey

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

Nation Yearns For Relative Calm Of ‘President A Giant Pedophile’ News Cycle

If I keep seeing "immigration enforcement" istg

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

Minneapolis: took my son to help out at a food bank at a neighborhood church, got a quick lesson in what to do in case of emergency, heard about another fed shooting a few blocks away

Expert-level proficiency in fretting

ICE isn't a rogue agency. It’s operating exactly as it was intended: to systematically target and inflict violence on immigrants and marginalized people. It must be abolished.

It's been said a million times but I can't convey how fucking cold it is, the house was making cracking noises all night

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

People keep making fun of ICE for falling on their asses in the Minneapolis winter but you would also struggle to run around while wearing a diaper full of piss and shit
