It's a very January 2026 Minneapolis vibe when you meet up for bar trivia and first thing somebody drops a cache of 3D printed whistles to share with the table.

If you appreciate aggressively legible mathematical handwriting and gorgeous hand-drawn diagrams, take a moment to admire some of the images of Lonsdale's crystallography textbook in this thread. 🧪 ⚛️ 👩‍🔬 ⌬

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

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

There's no ICE accountability without ending qualified immunity. They're murdering people. There won't be justice for the lives they've stolen, but there must be accountability. My bill with @markey.senate.gov would ensure families can sue the agents murdering their loved ones.

As it happens, I know a young girl today who knows about Anne Frank and also has young classmates who have been hiding. She has already pieced together the similarities on her own. And if she can do it, adults can, too.

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., rolls out his demand for supporting a DHS appropriations bill: fire Stephen Miller

lmaooooooo how do you even HAVE a 22 point overperformance in a Harris +71 district?!

before you take any of the "Trump is pivoting/lamenting/lowering the temperature after the Pretti murder" stories too seriously, absolutely nothing has changed in Minneapolis: "an absolutely brutal day of raids and abductions" says one friend

I am. But there are three things at play here regarding ICE collecting private data. Quick rundown on the issue, why you should be paying attention, and what I'm doing about it:

This is your regular reminder that the data broker industry must be destroyed.

ICE thrives in paranoia and secrecy, where nothing is known for certain and anything can be true. The rest of us thrive in sunshine.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all. Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

"You know Bovino leaving won't st..." Yes I fucking know. I shipped 800 whistles across the country today. I'll ship another 500 tomorrow. I will not stop until they are stopped and also I will take the fucking W when one of their top fash fucks gets the boot.

Bovino is not leaving Minneapolis cause he wants to. Not cause Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Vance or Trump want him to go. He’s leaving because the extraordinary “ordinary” citizens of that great city - by peacefully protesting en masse - kicked him out. Lesson to be learned. We have power.

And spreadsheets. Can't forget the spreadsheets.

Very Online Democrats and Leftists: Bovino down. Noem on the ropes. Go for Stepher Miller: AFGE:

I was in a community meeting in south Minneapolis when we got the news. The cheering was cathartic, but nobody thinks the work is done.

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

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove. people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

AND IMPEACH AND REMOVE. We need to clamor for that even if the votes aren't there—yet.

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

Concentration camp victims protest! The incredible bravery and fortitude and care involved in doing this ✊🏽 ‘some of them holding signs that included “Libertad para los niños,” or “Liberty for the kids.”‘

I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border. Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE). Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:

Also where I'm at right now. Too much is riding on America getting it right after this administration collapses. It's time for a "release of energy", as New Deal attorney and legal historian J. Willard Hurst, put it. How can we make a new, more true America from this wreckage?

It seems to me that they want to negotiate because they know they're losing. The answer was always no, but now? Absolutely the fuck not.

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

man the stuff i am seeing on IG from the most normie, i don’t really talk about politics accounts suggests something different

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

Murray is the chief Democratic appropriator. She negotiated the DHS funding deal. She needs to present a new plan now

A gay soccer mom and an er nurse who literally died asking if someone else was okay. Against masked Gestapo. Anyone who agrees with the Gestapo needs to block me. I am not, and will never be your friend.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

I know Will wasn’t the first to say it, but I cant stop thinking about “we will never have as many guns as they have/they will never have as many people as we have” and how easy that makes it to pick a strategy

Do you honestly think people in the civil rights movement and other nonviolent movements faced no violence themselves? They practiced nonviolence because it works, because the oppressor wants a shooting war, which is the war it will win

Even now, even through all of this, the rapid responders in Uptown have continued to locate, pursue, and monitor ICE vehicles. They never stop. Heroes one and all

holy crap youtube.com/shorts/hyqtA...

Why is Dem leadership not on the ground in MN? If the answer is “polls show Trump’s disapproval is only -15 on deportations, but -25 on prices,” thats a Bad Use Of Polling and a complete failure in their capacity as leaders to lead public opinion and fight for democracy and the rule of law

The minimum moderate position is not abolishing or defunding ICE, it's Trump's removal. He is a tyrant, he has declared war against peaceful people, he is a criminal, he is corrupt, and he has violated his oath of office innumerable times.

And reinforcing the point that ICE is easier to say but the worst violence is coming from Customs and Border Patrol.

If you're wondering why the Dem Party just seems inept, I think this is the best explanation. There is no party. There is a fundraising machine masquerading as a party.

this is a win. no-avi lefty accounts furious he said "future" instead of "right now" are getting blocked.

Multiple video angles show that the man who federal agents shot in Minneapolis was filming with his phone immediately prior to a physical altercation seemingly initiated by the feds in which they maced the man, wrestled him to the ground, removed a gun from his waistband, and then shot him unarmed.

The bartenders at the busy restaurant I'm out supporting after they closed yesterday are all wearing "In MN we love snow and we hate ice" buttons.
