look if a Democrat wants me to be really fired up about voting for them, they will promulgate the Crimes Against Humanity Reparations Act which gives US citizenship to everyone targeted by the Trump administration.

Happy Year of the Horse! 🔥🐎 The year of the fire horse, a year of forward momentum and change. The only way out is through! #yearofthehorse #chinesenewyear #lunarnewyear #firehorse

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

Happy Lunar New Year! 🔥🐴

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

"Maybe all we do is frustrate," Star said. "Give someone one more day with their daughter or their dad. "But if you lost your dad, or you lost your daughter, you would give anything to have one more day with them. And that’s what we can do.” My latest for Slate

In 2004, Boston PD killed a young aspiring journalist using "less lethal" munitions while she was enjoying a street celebration. Boston PD realized it had to change its ways. LAPD just keeps maiming people. Costs taxpayers millions. Mayor Bass has never said one word. www.wbur.org/news/2014/10...

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage. The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts. Follow along!

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons. We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team. Read more:

A lot of times people default to the logic of “we can’t get rid of this unjust system, because what will fulfill its role?” But if the system is unjust, it’s not fulfilling that role. It’s creating more harm. It’s the problem.

ICE tracker, 2/5

Most of the footage you see from ICE observers in Minnesota comes from the core cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. I talked to observers in the northern suburbs, who say they're taking on the same mission in very different conditions. (1) share.google/ei9giIFLsuEJ...

realistically they are doing this because they need them elsewhere and this is not sustainable and that in itself is a victory for the MN resistance

Not ICE, but CBP. ICE is terrible, but CBP is orders of magnitude worse. In many ways, abolishing or radically overhauling CBP is of greater urgency than ICE, but likely tougher to do. One can argue that ~all of ICE's duties can be reallocated. Harder to say that with CBP.

aw yeah hat and backpack I'm so glad they're free I'm so furious they (and so many others) were traumatized This doesn't end until there are zero (0) kids being traumatized

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

Absolutely surreal to continue to hear about drawdowns and lowered temperatures and things calming down in Minneapolis when, as far as I can tell, literally nothing has changed on the ground

No child should live in detainment. No child is illegal. A country that jails children must be stopped.

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.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

I'm a resident of the Twin Cities. A small team and I spent 3 days sculpting this for a competition/festival in extremely cold temperatures. We were disqualified for political messaging and one of the organizers defaced it. I have no regrets and I have never been more proud to be Minnesotan. (cont)

Alex Pretti’s coworkers take a moment of silence this morning

The regime obviously thought they'd be able to take out a few dozen scary-queer-weirdo Antifa types in black masks and then successfully cow the rest of the Coastal Elite Liberal class into terrified silence: they were not expecting "totally fearless mass nonviolent resistance by entire cities."

Border Czar Greg Bovino is doing an all hat no cowboy walk around Minneapolis like he's playing Hitler in a school play. Wait for the guy at the end, he will give you life.

In this thread I’m providing you links to the names of photographers who are on the ground with me, who I trust and like, and whose work I admire. If you don’t like Instagram, I don’t really know what to tell you but there’s nothing I can do. Sorry. You’ll have to figure that one out on your own!

Feeling helpless? Here’s how YOU can help take a stand against ICE! lataco.com/five-easy-wa... By @ivan-ehlers.bsky.social

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

Again, talking about ordinary government processes as if we're not living through a major political crisis creates the illusion of normalcy. It's counterproductive. We have a lawless, illegitimate president and we have to confront that fact, loud and often

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."

Alex Pretti’s last words were “are you ok?” said the woman next to him who ICE also pepper sprayed in the face.

You know me I don't share fundraisers unless I can tell you I trust them with my whole heart and my own wallet. This one gets protective gear to legal observers in Minneapolis / Saint Paul www.gofundme.com/f/help-equip...

recommend reading the analysis here over watching any video

ICE murdered a nurse today

Seth Moulton is calling for ICE to be prosecuted in no uncertain terms. This is becoming a foundational political agreement for anyone seeing to oppose the regime. We need the broadest possible coalition all united about the necessity of caging these fucking monsters.

National guard to control protests but not ICE. They protect power not the people.

Again, this is just the moderate, law and order position.

How many people have to be killed in broad daylight for democrats to show a spine

It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

Solidarity with Minneapolis

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

Deporting children with cancer. Using a 5-year-old as bait. Shooting moms. ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.
