Every death in captivity is murder at the hands of the captor.

Good news in ghastly times

My colleague!

Prospect Park (Minneapolis) bridge brigade, the morning after 7" of snow... after a week with 50°F weather and Tom Homan's nonexistent "removal" of the federal paramilitary occupation of Minnesota.

BIG NEWS! The Minneapolis City Council unanimously passed the $7 million Small Business Resiliency Fund I brought forward with my colleagues. This will support activation and small businesses impacted by “Operation Metro Surge”. 1/

We just passed 25% funded!!!! There's a long way to go, but I know we can do this. Please donate what you can, even if you only have $5 to spare. 🫶

Emergency healthcare funds needed: A Twin Cities 18-yr old student, w/ parents unable to work because of ICE, suddenly diagnosed with leukemia. She is uninsured, has huge bills, and can't help support her family. Please help if you can. (I confirm this is genuine) www.gofundme.com/f/support-an...

in NYC? when hospitals end trans youth care programs, it’s time to ask mamdani about his platform: “…hold private hospital systems denying GAC accountable—hospitals that continue to deny trans youth access to gender affirming care are in violation of NYS Constitution.” www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

This is jail support also btw, and it’s something anyine can do for their local jail, because they regularly do this to folks they release. Cook County Jail Support is a good example of this. I’m not sure about any jail support here in MN

good thing so many schools over-complied in advance🙃

ATTENTION BLUESKY you don't want to watch the State of the Union next week you want to watch a PowerPoint party telethon of your favorite Bluesky super posters delivering their most unhinged hot takes to raise money for mutual aid in Twin Cities and Portland Poster's Madness for a good cause!!!!

Crazy ICE experiences yesterday! Four ICE vehicles boxed me in outside my own house after following me home and trying to have me arrested. Watch the video for details!

Support your local immigrant-owned taqueria!

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

EXCLUSIVE: Senior DHS officials double down on arresting and detaining refugees in new memo. Hours after DOJ filed the new memo in court in Minnesota, a magistrate judge denied Law Dork's request for greater public access in the case — including remote electronic docket access.

Whose got good anti-ICE / anti-fascist zines for teens and tweens? 👀

This aged pretty well.

We were told to scrub "biodiversity" from our websites because of this shit.

Cops in places with policies against coordinating with ICE are pretending to call ICE for "translation services" which of course prompts the feds to drive over & kidnap the non-english-speaking person without being explicitly tipped off that they might be undocumented www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news...

Just awful. People (like Ryan mentioned in the article, who is living out of his van) have been staying awake all night for weeks keeping watch over the memorial for this exact reason.

posting to boost - this one came to me vouched by a person i trust - mutual aid drive for rent relief supporting 11 MSP families Goal: $7,000 Venmo: @Emma-Torzs

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Two days after the deadly sea collision, ~1,000 people demonstrated in central Athens, chanting slogans such as “Athens – Minnesota we fight together, against the system that murders us,” “open borders for refugees,” and “we live together, we work together with the migrants, fight the nazis.”

Ramadan should be a time of reflection and peace, but the holy month is marred by Israeli bombing. Please give what you can to help Sama'a and her family. chuffed.org/project/157569

I can’t believe you lefty Luddites hate tech so much that you embrace mRNA vaccines, heat pumps, electric bikes, hybrid work, renewable power (and awesome advancements in storage), space telescopes, and hot/cold running water but reject the planet destroying plagiarism enrich the worst people bots!

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

While a candidate, @mayor.nyc.gov pledged to commit 0.5% of the city’s budget to public libraries. Unfortunately, Mayor Mamdani has broken this promise in his preliminary FY27 budget, released yesterday, where he allocated 0.39% to libraries. This amount is well below the promised 0.5%

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

My thoughts on how critical fully funded public libraries are to any Left political project in the U.S. open.substack.com/pub/prisoncu...

Top notch this-is-the-way sentiment I appreciate hearing directly (or hearing about) from Mpls 🧊 patrol calls, both N. & S. Mpls sides: Commuter: seeing 2 individs in SUV w/face gaitors, driving super sketchy...oh wait they're out and on the run, looks like just folks stealing a car, all good no 🧊

This happened yesterday evening while on patrol. Possible ICE oh wait the car is rocking.

My guess is that the goal here is not only to punish the children for turning more people against ICE/DHS, but also to make news outlets think twice about reporting on kids' suffering at the hands of ICE/DHS, out of concern that doing so might lead to retaliation against the kids.

There are a lot of horrors today, distracting myself with how Silent Shout by The Knife is 20 this year. So many feelings. The entire album holds up. Banger after banger (but I can write to every one because I know them all by heart)

Gdamn every one of you who makes this evil possible.

I'm debuting a couple new works at FXLK PLAY in LA, and I'll be there in person at the opening. Please come see me 💕

NEW: Today, an immigration judge terminated removal proceedings for Mohsen Mahdawi, the Columbia student, Palestinian activist, and U.S. permanent resident whom the Trump administration arrested in April 2025 and attempted to deport under the foreign policy provision.

If you’re concerned about trans people because of their roll in mass shootings, wait until you hear about cisgender straight men

Sometimes you repost because the horror is so intolerably painful and it is so hard to know what to do and it feels so powerless and reposting feels like nothing that has to be at least the barest trace of something

1⃣ We demand ICE OUT OF MN now! No collaboration, only abolition. Let's build people power✊🔥

In honor of Lunar New Year, one of my all-time favorite maps: How dumplings spread around the world (tl;dr: It was largely, though not exclusively, the Mongol invasions!)

🧵 THREAD: 🚨The Prairieland Case is a five-alarm fire for the right to protest in America🚨 If you care about your neighbors being terrorized by ICE — and about your own freedom to dissent — you need to understand what's happening in Texas right now. /1

I think people usually call this going back to normal, you know, when they kill and kidnap nonwhite people and no one writes pop songs about it.

Civil rights figures like Jesse Jackson are why black feminists are theorized intersectionality: he might have forged a multi-racial coalition but black woman weren’t always in that coalition. Complicated man, complicated politics.

Democracy Now! remembers civil rights icon Jesse Jackson, who died today at the age of 84.

"a community convinced that its financial survival depends on locking people up. It’s not a new phenomenon. In this iteration of the classic prison town... "Trump needs these towns, and he needs local officials who are willing—and sometimes eager—to sign deals...."

Normally this would be a 24/7 news story and instead it's like the 47th craziest thing happening right now.

⚠️ Eighteen people in Texas remain in jail after being accused of “providing material support for terrorism” for participating in an anti-ICE protest. The case is intended to set a precedent criminalizing protest. Jury selection begins for a trial involving nine of the defendants on February 17th.

Almost none of your colleagues speak on our behalf. In fact most of them are majorly Islamophobic. Fully bipartisan.

I talked with my friend @shaneburley.bsky.social about Nick Fuentes' recent rant about putting women in gulags. How seriously should we take Fuentes, culturally and politically? And what does rhetoric like this reveal about the broader trajectory of the movement he’s trying to shape? We get into it.
