I genuinely believe that if they use the Insurrection Act to put troops on the streets to open fire on crowds with live ammo, as Trump has openly dreamed of doing, they will light a fire in this country that they'll never put out. If they kill you for protesting, what's left to lose by fighting?

I don’t think the ICE Gestapo enjoy that people aren’t afraid to have this kind of smoke for them straight to their face like this. These nazis got fucking cooked.

is this about Greenland or Minneapolis?

city council member J Duncan has confirmed that DHS is intent on using an empty warehouse in south KCMO as an internment camp.

Imagine doing a PhD in electricity, just so you knew how to blow up nuclear power plants and heavy water-producing facilities. “I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them... I am not a pacifist.” A profile in absolute courage.

Heard a lad earlier talking about ‘Belgian whistles’ “A basic website costs 10k or 25k upwards if you want all the Belgian whistles” BELGIAN WHISTLES

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

Trump to Reuters about the midterm elections: "When you think of it, we shouldn't even have an election." www.reuters.com/world/us/fiv...

This is the dynamic across most of America: Liberal cities generate revenue, which state governments then transfer to benefit conservative rural areas, whose residents despite city-dwellers and consistently vote to harm them. But politicians endlessly pander to rural voters and demonize cities.

There’s no such thing as a free Boeing jet.

As a kid I used to wonder how Germany fell to Nazism so quickly - how an entire society accepted the extermination of its own people. I never imagined I’d live to understand the answer.

We need to get back to the founding principles that made this country great. That’s why I support putting militarized troops in US cities and giving them the power to search anyone and enter any home at any time. And to rough up or possibly shoot anyone who objects. Let’s do Boston next!

Welp. There it is.

ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

Live right now, MPD and Minnesota State Troopers are full on assisting ICE, for those who keep wondering why Jonathan Ross hasn’t been arrested.

Just a reminder that these "federal agents" in Minneapolis are not law enforcement They are Proud Boys, J6ers, 3%ers, and every other piece of slime from under a rock DHS could find to use weapons against the American people

Hey white folks, listen up.

Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Both parties are fully on board with fascism and destroying our position in the world. We are done here as a nation. Seriously. Democrats literally do not fucking care. Prepare yourselves accordingly because shit is about to get so...so...so very much worse.

aka do not do stupid antagonizing shit in North knowing you get to leave and the residents have to deal with the fallout.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Just another morning in the Twin Cities, keeping my eyes on the preschool parent signal chat to make sure none of my child’s classmates, their parents, or their teachers were kidnapped by the federal government in front of the school.

No! The criticism of the Dems isn't that they never win elections, it's that they don't use power to solve the problems that got us here. Elite impunity, concentration of wealth, the unitary executive. Winning is only step 1

My whole life, fascism was defined as being stopped by armed, masked agents of the national government who demand your papers, on pain of arrest, injury, or death. That’s now here, and the group of people who warned about that the most are either silent or in favor of it,

My partner @jasoncapsaicin.bsky.social made a step by step guide on how to break up ice in your neighborhood in Minnesota. Enjoy!

1/ I recently wrote about Frances Perkins—FDR’s Labor Secretary and first woman cabinet member. She is best known as the architect of the New Deal but she had a lesser-known achievement: She dismantled her era’s version of ICE.🧵

10/ Abolishing ICE is much harder today than Section 24 was then. ICE is statutory and an entrenched agency. But Perkins reminds us they are policy choices. They’ve been built, dismantled, and rebuilt before. Immigration enforcement is policy. And policy can be changed.

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it. We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics. What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

Q: will this help? A: yes. celebrating the misfortune of bad people is one of the ways society discourages antisocial behavior Q: is it healthy? A: also yes. one needs to pretend that the unaccountable can at least be laid low by chance

One of the shitty things about the racist and anti-lgbtq extremist direction of this administration (and all those like them) is people and corporations quit celebrating, or even supporting, marginalized people to avoid 'trouble.' Fuck trouble. Fuck bigots. Raise your voice.

telling the secret police they have immunity to harm & kill citizens really lays bare the hollowness of decades of right-wing GOP screeching about encroaching Big Government - it was never a problem they had with government per se, just that it wasn't being used to harm the people they wanted to

The usual problem with the "just asking questions" crowd is that they have no interest in listening to any answers except the ones they are already sure of.

I was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota. If you have places for me to add, please DM me.

New York Times and CNN talking about wine moms and queer people this week

The missing piece of the "if we get to the other side of this" puzzle is ACCOUNTABILITY. We need to hold people and companies and government departments accountable ESPECIALLY when they seem too strong to. It's time to put the knife in Too Big To Fail once and for all.

If you won't bring severe consequences for these relentless crimes against humanity, if you won't even consider it, if you won't even try then what is the point of you? Not just as a politician; as a human being.

we've sort of reached the platonic ideal of the paradox of tolerance here. they've repudiated the social contract, thus it definitionally no longer protects them or binds you vis-a-vis them

For the rest of my life: "We can't pay for--" fuck you they paid for ICE to ravage our cities. "We can't just defund--" fuck you they abolished the Department of Education.

and I feel like we were steadily heading in that direction for a half century (as i type on a shard of glass) and then this dude showed up, and a few other dudes like him, and now we’re in the mirror universe where people are trying to bring back slaves.

Lmfao Bari turned CBS into a clown show so much faster than I thought possible. Just...literal lol.

We are dealing with an institution modeled on slave catching and the great news is that we also have resistance models This is a great book about the Underground Railroad in an urban environment, New York City: wwnorton.com/books/gatewa...

Abolish ICE. Never vote for a Republican. Primary any Democrat who won't abolish ICE.

Scott Adams dying at 68 rather than 69 is the perfect capstone to a life of being almost — but not quite — funny

I like that they’ve given up on even having immigration enforcement as a pretext for any of this. It’s just purely armed masked goons wandering around in the middle of intersections harassing U.S. citizens as a display of force now.

i think a lot about the old guy in LA who got shot in the head bc he was walking on a hot day and had a rag wrapped around his hand so he could wipe sweat off his face and a cop started screaming at him to "drop the weapon" and shot him when he "didn't comply" (bc he didn't have a weapon to drop)
