MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!” So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it (H/T longtimehistory)

It's not just "stand up to ICE when you see them," it's building many vast networks of support and trust to - create safe spaces - protect schools - get kids TO school - check on neighbors - deliver groceries - help pay the rent - let people know of danger - feed the helpers, too! - and on and on

In Minneapolis and many other communities across the country, we're seeing people come together to peacefully protest and support their neighbors. If you're looking to get involved, here are some ways to help:

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I’ve never been prouder to be a Minnesotan.

Heads Up Minneapolis! MAGA propagandists Cam Higby, Kevin Posobiec & Hailey West have been spotted undercover otg & filming people today. They mean to twist your anger & sorrow into demonization. Avoid or nonviolently, but firmly, demand they leave. The less content you give them, the better.

A friend of mine on disability is struggling very hard right now, on the brink of being evicted and now their car has been repossessed. If you have a little extra, it would mean the world to Zuri and Rob. www.gofundme.com/f/help-zuri-...

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

People here are PISSED and not leaving. One older woman is crying after getting tear gas in her face. But she not leaving. Another loud BANG from the ICE agents. More smoke in the air. More trash bins.

I'm on site where a federal agent shot a Minneapolis man this morning. It's bad. Dozens of federal agents are facing off with hundreds of outraged residents. People being tear gassed, helicopters above, I keep hearing pops, and lots of loud BANGS. This smoke is from tear gas:

Note how there's no violence or chaos when the cops aren't rioting.

#FuckICE for those looking this national map of ice rapid response numbers by area (I.e. if you witness a raid who to call to get local groups involved) icerr.com. Thanks to the person that shared this with me.

“They chased him, he got home and when we closed the door they shot him.” MN orgs/electeds say👇🏽this is the family calling the police with ICE outside, after a man was shot in the leg with a pregnant woman & child inside Different than DHS’ shovel story: www.instagram.com/reel/DThEdD8...

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

Look closer and notice the ICE vehicle not using any lights. None. That is why the bus was continuing to drive by. Now remove the your prior knowledge that ICE is operating here. Youre the bus driver approaching a white SUV and a commotion on the sidewalk. Thread ⤵️

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Lights are on but nobody is home. We have a broken Roomba for President.

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

Democrats want a government funding bill that won't raise your health care costs by 75%. Trump won't even meet with them. He’s shutting the government down and making health care even more expensive for families. What a bad deal for America.

So, apparently we can block mega corporations from spending money on politics at the state level. 🤔 www.vxtiktok.com/t/ZP8SgrA4P/

if you have a Christian family you’ve been wanting to wordlessly abandon tomorrow would be a great day to do it

Reminder: we still have the right to free speech, regardless of the president's temper tantrums.

Hey, Tesla board? Dump Musk. He's making your company worse and spoiling the face of Electric cars in general. Stop paying him ridiculous sums of money and figure it out without him.

Does anyone have recommendations for a good garden blog/book/magazine? Everytime I go to search up a potential disease or issue, I get 18 sites with names like "Garden Know How" that has some shitty AI-written SEO-Optimized junk and very little useful info.

Gov Walz cancelled the No Kings protest because one crazy guy with a gun shot some syltate.reps. UGH. THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD KEEP THE PROTESTS.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Noem needs to go.

"The Raven Tower"by Ann Leckie has a promising world building aspect. However. It's written in second person. Every "You" pulls me right out of the story and breaks my suspension disbelief. Don't write a novel in second person. Ever. I'm trying to push through but I suspect this one will turn DNF

I think we need anyone who wants to hold a political office in the United States to pass the citizenship test. Must pass before you can on the Ballot.

I was reading up on the history of diphtheria and ran across this interesting fact.

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.
