These guys two months ago: ha ha I hope there's a civil war we'll make those LIBERAL BITCHES cry for mercy These guys now: waaaaaa they're using whistles it's not FAIR waaaaa (You can get free community safety whistles, quantity 100 to 1000, from here: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles )

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

HEY I AM DOING A FUNDRAISER FOR MINNESOTA RENT FUNDS AND GIVING AWAY A SIGNED ARC (advance review copy) OF OBSTETRIX THAT'S RIGHT YOU CAN HELP MINNESOTA FAMILIES AND MAYBE GET A FREE EARLY SIGNED COPY OF MY BOOK

Michigan folks: ICE is raiding in Ypsilanti. If you know an org that people can get in touch with if they're scared, please dm me. A good person may need help.

La Migra have always been monsters, be they INS, ICE, CBP, HSI or any other weird slush fund org. Just nobody heard the brown people who were their primary prey when they told you. immigration isn’t a problem in need of violence. It needs more paths & access, open doors. All else funds cartels.

Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

One of the reasons that rapid response is so important is not just to prevent ICE from kidnapping people, but, if someone is taken, to inform family and friends of the kidnapped to start the legal process so that their family member isn't sent out of state.

This is an *extremely* important story. Food pantries and mutual aid are beautiful, critical things, but the need will be greater than they can meet. People across the country are going to be forced to choose between paying for food or paying rent.

Signal will never message you like this. If you get a message like this, SOMEONE IS TRYING TO HACK YOUR SIGNAL. DO NOT GIVE THEM THAT CODE.

People at taken to Whipple are released into the cold in whatever they were wearing without their phones and IDs. Volunteers meet them at release (or find them left in parks and the woods) get them a burner, warm clothes, food, a ride home, etc (GFM in next post) www.instagram.com/reel/DTzJde9...

I know people are on this already, just want to amplify that none of these MN corporations are willing to even *mention* ICE and some have been extremely cooperative with them. Target is a huge offender there. I think redoubling on #BoycottTarget + telling them why helps. bsky.app/profile/prem...

Please call Hochul, thank her for these words, and tell her to back them up with ACTION by supporting and signing New York 4 All, a bill that would prevent local and state agencies from collaborating with ICE. Call her at 518-474-8390 today!

Gaza is in ruins, and the winter is unusually brutal. please give what you can to help my friend Sama'a survive. chuffed.org/project/157569

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

Per Jake Sherman, the Democrats who voted for it all hail from Trump districts Henry Cuellar #TX28 Vicente Gonzalez #TX34 Jared Golden #ME02 Tom Suozzi #NY03 Don Davis #NC01 Gluesenkamp Perez #WA03 Gillen NY04

Things I learned in the '21 TX freeze: - looser clothing keeps you warmer (sweatpants > yoga pants) - put a sheet OVER your comforter on your bed - drape a sheet around drafty doors, roll a towel on thresholds - keep curtains and blinds closed - use one or two rooms, close up rest of your home

Any rep - GOP or Dem - who votes for the DHS funding bill today, votes for more of this. Tell them you're watching their vote this afternoon: act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

I'm looking for witnesses/victims of DHS retaliating against people who were recording their agents (ICE, Border Patrol, FPS, etc.) in Southern California. This is for LA Press Club v. Noem case, but victim does NOT need to be press/journalist. Everyone has right to record. We're fighting for all.

I've started printing portable water bottle based eye wash stations too (www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...) in addition to whistles. I'll be bringing 10 to Strike ICE on Friday the 23rd for those who need.

🧵ICE's tactics for arresting and holding observers and protestors is ever-shifting, and I'm hearing lots of different stories. Right now, my perspective is that these are your best practices:

Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family. gofund.me/be8a1b2ab

This is bad bad bad, but it’s worth noting that the memo’s from May 2025 and not this month. I think that’s useful information for limiting panic, because I read this headline and thought “oh this is about to get way worse”

Want to help Minnesotans currently under siege? Friends on the ground say this food bank is delivering to folks who are having to stay inside to avoid ICE harassment. www.2harvest.org

I’ve been writing Popular Information for 8 years, and this is one of the most important stories I’ve ever published. This is a humanitarian crisis that has gone unreported.

Hearing confirmed reports from people on the ground of ICE sightings in Portland, Maine today. If you see/know anything, message me on Signal at marisakabas.04
