Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

If I were still living in Chicago, there would be no question who would get my vote in this race: www.chicagotribune.com/2026/01/26/i... - I've know Juliana for years - before she was in politics. She is a person with deep integrity and importantly she is also really kind.

Can you help us keep this Minneapolis neighbor and her family safe from ICE? One of her daughters has been on the frontline while also working to bring back neighbors kidnapped by ICE back to Minneapolis. It’s time for us to also show up for them. gofund.me/6228ad4b3

Here's my granddog, possibly confused as to why one of her humans is laying in the snow and flailing about: 😂

This my great great grandfather Magdaleno. He fought for land restitution. I’m so glad I have ancestors like him to guide me.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in. Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

The H Mart delivery truck just honked in support of us lol

one of the gofundme campaigns sent to me today is only trying to raise $1,600 and has a horrific story of an experience of a Hmong elder. they've only raised $10.

Midday listen: Bill Withers (live) album... so good.

In her book "The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America", Professor of African American Studies Dr. Carol Anderson uncovers the history behind the Second Amendment and argues that it was designed to keep African Americans vulnerable and subdued. #CiteASisterSunday #History #BlackSky

I have a relatively slim book my maternal great uncle wrote abt the family history. It is all in Korean. Will be teaching myself to read Korean better so that I can read this book one day. Will also be reteaching myself Spanish (very slowly)... It's a hopeful plan at least.

"Families could also be heard outside chanting “Libertad!” or “Let us go""

Please circulate!! This deserves to be a big story.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Morning listen: a cover of I know Where I've Been. A partially difficult morning, but I reached deep. A well of strength is there. A bit vague, but doing well. Good morning.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

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."

Your calls are working!!

Especially if you're not in Minnesota. Especially if you have Republican senators. Please help us.

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

I am begging people to please DECENTER Trump voters. It's just not helpful.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

There were six or seven agents, trying to harm a man who looks unarmed and still they murdered him in broad daylight. These ICE agents are venal, incompetent, cowardly and this type of execution will keep on happening because they are an unchecked paramilitary force of scared men who crave power.

When will it be enough for you, @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social ? When will you be moved? You should be standing in the streets of Minneapolis. You should be shouting from the rooftops. What a pathetic pair of cowards.

I’m logging off I will absolutely not risk watching this but if you must stay turn off your video autoplay IMMEDIATELY

All US senators need to reject DHS funding unconditionally and shut everything down. General strike now. It’s either that or a civil war.

ICE agents just murdered another protester

All of these people getting abducted and shot are our neighbors. All of them. If you are moved by what’s happening in Minnesota, you can already bring their actions closer to home. They are all our neighbors.

executions in the street.

i left the church and have nothing to do with it anymore but something happens when i see priests and pastors and rabbis and imams and sikhs at protests going so hard in mega harsh conditions i get choked up. this is how all of that is supposed to be. that's what all of that is supposed to be for.

As clergy pray, arrests begin

The Greg Bovino Bitch Fund Benefiting Immigrant Rights in Minnesota received some additional donations and I'd like to spread them across a few local businesses participating in today's general strike. Who do you recommend?

The world must recognize the pattern because it has seen it before. And that is why people in Minnesota are putting their bodies and businesses on the line today, because they know what is coming is even worse than what has already arrived. bsky.app/profile/chan...

Starting work listening to Signal to Noise by Peter Gabriel. "Turn up the signal, wipe out the noise..." It is helping me focus...sometimes music distracts the distractions...
