Let’s spread radical love this Valentine’s Day!

Well when you put it like that...

You were virtually invisible on the ground when we needed you. We won't forget.

It is difficult to grasp the full extent of the Trump Administration's crimes and cruelty, but we must try. Here's an excellent thread that snaps into sharp focus the horror of this regime.

what it's like

Saw Blue Velvet (1986) in a creepy old theater build in 1935 that would not have been out of place in the movie. Took my kids to see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) which was an event - it was first time they had ever had to stand in a block-long line to see a movie.

Our group is in the midst of a grand survey of all the TTRPGs we've purchased over the years but never got around to playing. Currently running through Blades in the Dark!

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is... good?! I pretty much hate-watched the last few seasons of GoT, and I didn't bother with HotD, but I am really enjoying the tale of Ser Dunk!

Defeating the fash by playing D&D

I can't guarantee that the GOP won't get their asses handed to them on election day

I count about 18 heavily armed goons for one kidnapping. I hope whoever was abducted is safe, but this is further evidence of their fundamental weakness. #AbolishICE

Where is the lie

Oh, this will fuck you up.

Watch this short message from Congressman Al Green.

There is good in this world and it is worth fighting for

THIS RULES

Push through your fear and they don't control you any more! And many people are in places where they can't push their fear - they're old, frail, have children, have people depending on them. So those of use who have to less to be fearful of should push even harder to stand in front of them.

MAGA is essentially defined by its ideological incoherence. These people share very few common beliefs. But you can broadly categorize every action Trump 2.0 has taken as anti-civilizational. Not a single pro-human policy in the whole program.

Reminds me of "annoying guy popping into your cube" from "My New Filing Technique Is Unstoppable"

This is being debated everywhere in Minneapolis right now. Everyone should do their own risk tolerance assessment and be mindful of the people to whom you are adjacent, but I am firmly in the "safety in numbers" camp. #AbolishICE

SO MANY HEROES IN MINNESOTA. #AbolishICE

Also an apt comparison in that a bunch of hobbits led by a guy named Fatty chased them out of Buckland by blowing horns and raising a ruckus

Another profound observation in this essential piece: "no application of armed violence can make the men with guns as heroic as the people who choose to stand in their path with empty hands in defense of their neighbors."

"Stop tweeting out notes at a criminal fucking conspiracy"

Amazing

We can do this all day #AbolishICE

As a friend of mine put it: "Logistics is what happens when the PTA groups get radicalized."

That this exists is blowing my mind

Made my calls to my senators. Please do the same 5calls.org

We can do this all day #AbolishICE

Are you fucking kidding me

Kritzer is one of the local voices I trust most - please read

This distills the problem with the White House and the MAGA movement into one sentence.

About 50 people showed up with candles to honor Alex Pretti, and someone brought a portable fire pit. We sang songs and envisioned a better world. #AbolishICE

@governorwalz.mn.gov @smith.senate.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov I challenge you to walk the streets of Minneapolis with our brave city council members, peaceful demonstrators, and legal observers. We need more visible and tangible support from you

People have removed police tape, now surrounding the crime scene with branches and sticks.

He was trying to protect a woman that ICE shoved to the ground, and they pepper sprayed him, beat him, and murdered him #AbolishICE

This had me in tears. I think it is a must-watch. youtu.be/atY_aW3isYk?...

This same conversation happened 1000 times on the light rail

I love Minneapolis ##AbolishICE

Just dropped my son off at a friend's for a sleepover, and the weather outside is brutal - app says "Feels like -32°F". And yet almost every corner along Minnehaha Ave had anti-ICE volunteers in hi viz vests standing out side to keep watch. I think we're gonna win. #AbolishICE

Fuck ICE and fuck Bovino. #AbolishICE
