“Touch grass.” - a psalm and a proverb

wow que locura

Standing on business is easy lawd, nor is starting a new era and YET we stand tall

One would think that this would merit an emergency convening of all Blue state governors, Attorneys generals and Congressional representatives. It's a declaration of war on one state which means they'll do it to others too.

My high school biology teacher said she’s proud of my garden so I feel like I won this morning #science #nerd

stress baking an apple pie at midnight in a Thursday

I hope New Yorkers will challenge Mamdani about this. Too often, people feel they need to be absolutely for or against a politician — ignoring their missteps or throwing them out with the bathwater. You can like and/or believe in someone and still challenge them to deliver on their promises.

Hiiii I started my gardening & cultivation TikTok and instagram. Please follow me @kaliacultivates on both platforms. It would mean a lot, I’ve been planning this project for months!

Historian of medicine here. Yes. Yes, they did.

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

Did y'all know that NYC was such a slave city that Mayor Fernando Wood proposed that NYC secede from the Union? www.untappedcities.com/on-this-day-... How many New Yorkers do we think know this today?

community organizing resulted in MANDATORY MINIMUMS being removed from the proposed Marij* legalization bill in Virginia. as well as so many crimes & penalties that would have been enforced in ways that harm our communities and lock up our children

BREAKING: 4 students at the University of Minnesota are currently chained to Morrill Hall, demanding that their school end all cooperations with ICE and establish itself as a sanctuary campus.

Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.

It's also not unique to this moment for people who are brand new to believe they have it all figured out, or for onlookers to believe the same. That part of the equation rhymes with a whole lot of history, and people who stick around long enough learn that they don't know what they don't know.

Its literally the foundation of the United States. Like please let's not erase centuries of Black and indigenous genocide in this moment that's a fruit of those labors.

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

the new a$AP rocky album is sooooo good, especially for long time fans like me!! it’s an ode to old a$ap, while still having lots of growth and genre jumping 😍 I haven’t listened to a full album no skips in a hot minute

ok, so what? if people don't *normalize* a police state, what should they expect from their elected representatives who ABSOLUTELY are acting like business as usual. This post should be addressed to your Democratic colleagues. The rest of us know this is not "normal" and expect ACTION from you all.

I watched the film “Margaret” today and it’s a really good one. Watching the extended cut now. The last scene really moved me to tears 😭

If people who are living in the midst of an invasion tell you that an action you are taking IS UNHELPFUL, the proper response is "thank you so much for letting me know. What would be helpful?" or You can just STFU and keep it moving. You don't have to have a public meltdown. It's OK.

Free the people Fight the power Fuck the pol(ice)

They also don't like the Democratic party.

You aren't actually overreacting other people are sleepwalking.

BREAKING: James Rodden, an ICE prosecutor who the Observer identified last year as the operator of an X account that posted “America is a White nation," “‘Migrants’ are all criminals,” and apparent praise of Adolf Hitler, appeared to be back at work Tuesday. www.texasobserver.org/ice-prosecut...

so much to cover right now, but a thread i just want to throw out there from my reporting is that the car rental market in minneapolis is reportedly totally screwed up right now because ICE has cleared the inventory. rental companies should have to answer for supplying vehicles used in terror.

Minneapolis is a war zone right now.

We need honesty about what US policing actually is or there's no possible way to something different.

I really need a sabbatical for seven…years.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

Hit my first rowing PR of the season!!!

I NEED THAT NEW JILL SCOTTTTTTTT

Friends, Claudette Colvin—the 15-year-old who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in March 1955 & joined the federal case against bus segregation that went to the Supreme Court — died today at age 86. But there are lots of myths and mis-impressions about her. A short corrective thread:

This is Minneapolis: Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city. Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.

For years, many of us have tried to get people to care about criminalization with only limited success. We made the point that criminalization is fascism's fuel. And I really really hope that more people now understand this.

My question for dems is …. Will they continue to vote to increase funding …

Frost: People should know that them cutting your healthcare, them cutting nutritional assistance, SNAP benefits, all this stuff—they're cutting that from working people so they can give ICE money to go terrorize our communities.

your quality of life expands when you realize peace doesn’t always arrive as a breakthrough. sometimes it’s a small bird, minding its own business, reminding you to slow down.

ICE AGENT: “I love my job. I can’t believe they pay me to do this. I’d do it for free. I only went to high school and I make $200,000.”

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

preview says 3, as of now the headline is updated to 6
