@alexnpress.bsky.social “I think it’s absolutely critical that everyone the article by @alexnpress in Jacobin about why all unions need to understand that immigration is central for all unions right now.” —Sara Nelson, on the May Day Strong mass call just now [Quote close but not exact]

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Oh my god. Rep. Omar has been the subject of vile, vicious attacks from MAGA since her first days in office, and this is the second violent attack on a Black elected official this week. The MAGA movement is fueling terrifying levels of harassment and extralegal violence.

this little man struggles to deploy the canister for 30 seconds and then throws it directly upwind

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE. There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it. Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance. 24 hours. Go. www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/no-f...

Learning that the @dropsitenews.com account is suppressed in significant part because of its frequent, accurate coverage of Sudan is so dark People should not be coddled, we shouldn’t assume people can’t handle the truth of what’s happening

Not headline news. No real fuss by Democratic leaders. No calls to censure. No pushback. No questions asked of GOP leadership by the press. Just totally accepted anti-Muslim bigotry across the board.

"Vast majority of men are only willing to engage in public violence if they feel like the people around them will approve of — and reward them for — that violence. ICE Watch works because it surrounds men seeking approval with people loudly expressing their disapproval." www.ms.now/opinion/minn...

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

✊ The MRLF, along with our nonprofit arm Working Partnerships, has been rapidly responding to union members, worker center members and other workers in need of immigration-related legal support. 👉 Please support this critically-needed legal fund: www.bit.ly/unionlegalfund #SOLIDARITYFOREVER

Last Friday, Jan 9, ICE detained a member of the Minnesota Newspaper and Communications Guild. Since then, he’s been transferred to a detention facility in Texas, where he awaits action on his petition for habeas corpus. 🗣️ ICE is not making us safe. PRESS RELEASE 👉 newsguild.org/guild-member...

This is incredible—and much needed. Union members in NYC (and everyone and everywhere else) should find ways to back them up.

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.

this is fucking incredible

This is brilliant. Ice can’t handle ice

protestors have painted what appears to be a tunnel on the side of the mountain, causing ICE agents to run into the mountain at full speed. disgusting.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Most of you follow for my art, but I live in Minneapolis right now & I have to tell you how bad things are here now. I'm not sure if what you're seeing on the news really does it justice. It's basically a battle ground on the streets.

ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

🙂

Minneapolis right now— At 35th and Park, a crowd has gathered after a car crash involving the feds. Agents just launched tear gas and pepper balls at people.

SUNDAY 1/11 at 1pm. Starting from 60th Street & 5th Ave. in Manhattan. No Wars, No Kings, No ICE. Imperialism feeds fascism, and vice-versa. We need to stand together against both!

Here is a recent video of ICE agents hitting someone with their car and laughing about it From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

before murdering renee good, the ice goon was frightened for his life, we’re told It’s meant to justify the murder nobody telling us this ever seems to wonder whether the woman who was murdered might have been afraid for her life killing because you’re afraid is only for cops, it seems

In case you haven't seen the Jesse Ventura video, see it now: www.youtube.com/shorts/cnF-D... These Minnesota people — Frey, Walz, Sens Smith + Klobuchar, Keith Ellison, now Ventura — are not fooling around.

This is exactly what I told someone yesterday. Even if I spot you the first shot (I shouldn’t, but let’s go with that), shots 2 and 3 were inexcusable and this officer will lose his case if it ever goes to court.

Charges against Derek Chauvin were brought four days after he murdered George Floyd. It took another five days for those charges to be upgraded to second-degree murder. We should keep the pressure up.

Bombing another country and kidnapping its leader would also be wrong with Congressional approval. The outrage, and call for impeachment, should be over the evil and illegal outcome not merely the failure to follow the prescribed process.

Incidentally, as far as messaging and strategy, pretty much anytime we test a process argument (i.e. they didn't follow the rules) it is less convincing & far less galvanizing than outcome argument (i.e. it's going to result in this fucked up evil) with voters. Yes, swing voters too.

The whitewashing of white supremacists by the NYT extends beyond the politics desk: Brigitte Bardot, a star-& virulent racist-dies: NYT vs Le Monde. Headline “renounced stardom” vs “sympathy for far right” Subhed: “devote her life to animal welfare” vs “ Convicted 5 x for racist remarks” 1/

NEW: A democratic socialist adept at social media challenges the Democratic Party establishment in NYC. But it's not Zohran Mamdani vs. Andrew Cuomo. It's Chi Ossé vs. Hakeem Jeffries. My take on the question everyone is asking: www.michaellange.nyc/p/can-chi-os...

How can Zohran win the agenda he campaigned on? The answer is that he won't do it—WE will! To win, we'll need the organized engagement of tens of thousands of New Yorkers. The campaign showed the world we can build this kind of movement. Join us tonight at 7 to hear what's next! bit.ly/11-6-call

Nothing but respect for my president.

When Border Patrol came to my street, McLaughlin claimed that someone threw a bike at the officers, video shows the officers taking the bike and throwing it at neighbors.

lmao david byrne showed the video of the ice agents tripping over themselves while trying to run after a biker on wacker drive during the “life during wartime” segment of his chicago show tonight

Resistance isn't futile Here's a thread (and article) on five reasons for hope — and two concrete steps we can all take to stop Trump www.laborpolitics.com/p/after-no-k...

Per @chicagotribune.com, the pajama-pants-guy is a former county prosecutor. And he had some things to say. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/25/c...

This man was part of a coalition of Reagan-era apartheid apologists who opposed U.S. opening talks with the African National Congress which he called a terrorist org. He has been a right wing activist for decades. His son was part of the Jan 6th mob and was convicted (later pardoned by Trump). 1/

Thank you, Chicago.

The dream of every Muslim is simply to be treated the same as any other New Yorker. And yet, for too long, we have been told to ask for less than that, and endure hatred and bigotry in the shadows. No more.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.
