“…But while [making broad critiques online] has been normalized, it results in large amounts of criticism being offered without the common foundations needed to have real conversations that result in understanding each other and acting in the way most appropriate to our specific situation”

“You’d think, all else equal, that an “argument with no-one” would be the last resort, when one had exhausted all possibilities of an “argument with someone ….But I think many of us are stuck in a pattern of passivity that makes these behaviors our first resort.” open.substack.com/pub/slowmove...

Gee Tim. If you wanted help with fundraising maybe you should have given state employees more than a 1.5% raise and then forced them to spend all of it on a pointless return to the office. Sorry!

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

I finally got an excuse to cite @quinnae.com ‘s indespensable book “Log Off” at length! Only been talking about it since 2024… open.substack.com/pub/slowmove...

Can’t get over the absurd self-own of not pressing forward to abolish ICE and take apart DHS in a moment when the GOP is backpedaling. If not now when? Do Dems think they’ll have more power after more murders and abductions? Even as a negotiation tactic why not start by asking for everything?

AFGE, the largest federal employee union, is calling for the immediate termination of Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller for smearing their slain union member Alex Pretti as a “domestic terrorist.”

here's @prisonculture.bsky.social "Body cameras are worse than useless." You're giving money to the system you want to shrink. "The cameras are turned on you, the citizen, not the cop." And the cops control all the footage. Read it: www.nbcnews.com/think/opinio...

going into people's houses without a warrant. applying for a warrant to investigate a person they already killed. just wild fucking frontiers in 4th amendment law

We took our Schumer show to @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ’office — while he said he will personally vote agnst increasing ICE funds he ALSO said he wasn’t going to whip his caucus to do so 🤯 Why is he in leadership if he refuses to actually LEAD? @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

if you don’t think you can campaign on abolishing this agency and prosecuting the people involved - if you don’t think you’re able to make that case using this video and other like it - get the fuck out of politics

We represent the Lollipop Guild The Lollipop Guild, the Lollipop Guild And in the name of the Lollipop Guild We will kidnap your children, pepper spray your priests, and shoot your mothers in the face

The thing that many — including many (handwaves) 'on the left' — either don't understand or don't want to understand is that the Trump Regime is profoundly eugenicist, they're working to cull chronically ill and disabled people from the population.

I swear to god, if dems are so ‘scared’ of looking weak on crime, we need to find a way to make them MUCH more afraid of the rage of the American people when they abandon action in the face of violent, blatant illegal war against US civilians. I’m not advocating violence but WTAF.

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

It did not have to be this way. These are the devastating consequences of RFK Jr’s anti-vax ideology & policies. #IllnessPolitics

Here’s the report from KARE. The boy is five-year-old Liam Ramos.

minnesotans are prepping for a massive statewide protest on friday, a day where it will be -10. that’s how much we hate ICE.

I think it still hasn’t really sunk in for a lot of us that Minnesotans have moved from mass protest to mass resistance.

🧵Any Member of Congress can introduce the case that Donald Trump is levying war on the US in violation of the Treason Clause, and that treason is self-impeaching conduct. Every member should. The critical audience for this argument, now, is not their GOP colleagues but the public and the military 1/

We cannot normalize this federal occupation of Minneapolis. It is not normal to watch people abducted in front of our eyes—dragged from car windows, pulled from their homes, and children left without parents. This is not about immigration. It’s about unchecked cruelty.

My story:

It's a problem that actual elected officials post on social media as if they are powerless observers and commentators.

This is why @cortezmasto.senate.gov's proposal to turn ICE funding over to local police is unacceptable. Local police are helping ICE hurt our neighbors right now. Give them ICE's money and they'll just do ICE's work. No, never.

A lot of people i follow seem to follow this person (J. Cooper). This article makes a pretty convincing case criticizing him as a “resistance grifter” www.patreon.com/posts/148484...

It is a shit decade to have hyper-empathy

I would like to remind people that the reason Minneapolis caucuses had translators is ilhan, not the dfl.

“Conclusions and relevance: Adult vaccinations, particularly against herpes zoster, influenza, pneumococcus and Tdap, are associated with a lower risk of dementia. Vaccination strategies should be incorporated into public health initiatives for dementia prevention.”

never let ‘em know your next move. shake things up. take different beers to a bunch of different guys’ houses.

Two white friends tail me home if it's outside the hours when people are out and about. I'm damn near third generation Minnesotan. It's not just "you're a citizen you'll be fine." I'm a black woman alone. Who knows what they will do.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

"A fellow detainee says he witnessed Geraldo Lunas Campos being choked to death by guards at an ICE detention center in Texas on Jan. 3."

SCOOP: Internal ICE material and testimony from an official obtained by 404 Media provides the clearest link yet between the technological infrastructure Palantir is building for ICE and the agency’s activities on the ground. Inside the app called ELITE—what ICE uses to find neighborhoods to raid.

People really don’t understand how bad Minnesota is at this point. The news is openly discussing the federal plans to use old Amazon prime facilities in places like Woodbury and other suburbs as fascist detention centers. We are fully through the glass and people need to fully take in that reality

The lies I was talking about:

Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities. That’s why I’m joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for her impeachment. We deserve better, she’s gotta go.

the constitution has many flaws but addressing our current circumstances is not among them; the framers were in fact quite concerned about this kind of thing and were clear that it should not happen here what they did not and could not guard against is the people in charge ignoring their plain text

Are there any disabled/mostly housebound people in Portland I can connect with who are finding ways to get involved with 🧊current events? I feel so out of touch, realizing I’m still more connected in MPLS after 4 years living here, and following PIRC etc on socials is not enough
