one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

This cannot be accepted. This is a bullshit move to try and keep the status of the occupation basically unchanged but try and play it off as a compromise

World's least surprising stat, now with alt text:

Pretty sure that one of Epstein’s victims said the only person who went to her during a party and asked what she was doing there and whether she needed help, was Melinda French Gates

Never, ever give in to a bully

Columbia Heights (Liam's school district) cancelled school today because of a credible bomb threat at Liam's elementary and multiple ICE vehicles parking in the high school staff parking lot at 6:15am.

I kind of wish there were an alternative to Run For Something that wasn't completely ageist. Like I'm the first person to advocate for many more younger people in Congress, but having your cutoff age be 40 is kind of gross.

This is why Democrats need to compete EVERYWHERE. We won’t win every race, but it’s stupid and irresponsible to simply forfeit certain races to incumbents. Always but especially now, we need competitive elections. And at the bare minimum, make them spend money defending seats they had won by 17 pts

Tom Morello live in Minneapolis

I'm getting a little annoyed with the people saying things like "ICE wouldn't last a day in [my city]". As if we in Minneapolis are rolling over and not actually making a intentional, concerted effort at nonviolence so that our situation doesnt get worse from Trump sending in the freaking military.

Not to get political, but America is very pretty and has a lot of nice folks making cool things, and I think if we had a president who wasn’t actively trying to murder us, we could have a pretty good time

Chris Hayes was here for awhile so he gets it. Living in this environment has taken an incredible toll on everyone in the cities.

Absolutely fucking evil

There is a level of alarm coming from many great small businesses in Minneapolis & St. Paul that I haven’t heard since COVID. This weekend - pick a locally-owned business or three that you love and go spend some money if you can. We’ve all got to look out for one another and they need our help.

"You don't understand. We're going to make deporting citizens extra super mega illegal." - Hakeem Jeffries

“we should also put, ‘ICE isn’t allowed to shoot at us’ - you and me”

Lady Gaga has put out a gorgeous anthem for Minneapolis. youtu.be/e3o5FIXoK84?...

Hakeem Jeffries agreeing to fund DHS if the GOP bans something that's already illegal is like countries agreeing to something they're already doing in exchange for Trump not raising tariffs on them. Jeffries is not even fit for politics, much less leadership. How tf did we end up with these clowns

I’ll escalate this to a what the actual fuck??

just choked on my beverage

As longtime observers of struggles to establish peace and justice in the US and around the world, The Nation is honored to nominate the city of Minneapolis and its people for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize.

There are so many people that need help in Minneapolis. One thing I'm doing is paying $10-$20 to as many GoFundMes as I can. If you are able and want to do somwthing similar there is a loooong list of them at www.standwithminnesota.com.

I love that she went after him herself. She’s scrappy. 🥰

Bovino's gone but it's not over: they're ramping up. They're going to use Fort Snelling for "parking approximately 300-500 vehicles . . . a ready room space for 500-800 CBP personnel . . . access to a magazine to store munitions."

So now that Bovino is out, is Tom Homan the final boss?

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...

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

"We refuse to generate taxes under the guise of a functioning for-profit capitalist business aligned with government strategy" 👏

In the last 24 hours, all my Tik Tok content has been removed for US users. I have about 250K followers on there, 80% are American. They now see NOTHING. I know many on here hate Tik Tok. But it is a huge platform for 18-24 year olds and information suppression is the fascist’s tool of choice.

There are a lot of men out there who do not see any of the logistics happening around them and they're like "wait, where the fuck did these hand warmers come from?" Look at every kid wearing mittens, and that's your answer. From the people who have been silently keeping hands warm for centuries.

Someone in one of my groups 3D printed a whistle that looks like a severed finger lmaooooo

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today. This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Tonight, on behalf of Minnesota law enforcement, I filed a lawsuit against DHS to prevent the destruction of evidence related to the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti. DHS is not above the law, and Alex sure as hell is not beneath it.

Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.

Beyond helping establish DHS itself in 2003, Mr. Mitnick was a senate-confirmed Trump choice for General Counsel for DHS in his first term. I've talked with him a few times, and he's not a man for hyperbole. So bear that in mind when you see him calling out DHS's "lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty."

folks, we’ve got ourselves a WAZ - a whittier autonomous zone!!!

Congressional Dems need to face the hard truth that people are dying in Minneapolis to oppose ICE precisely because some Dem Reps in Congress aren't. They are dying because the Reps somehow can't see the moment. Would doing so have saved the MP'ers? Maybe not - but they stood because you wouldn't.

Alex Pretti, the man shot by ICE in Minneapolis, appears to have previously worked with the federal government at the VA. There is a photo of him on the VA website, where he’s cited as part of a medical research team. www.vacsp.research.va.gov/CSP_2004/CSP...

How soft this is. How weak. No calls for abolishment, no plan, no nothing but a slogan, and a weak slogan at that. It’s gormless, spineless, unready for not just this moment but unready for the last ten years.

You can clearly see in the video that he was holding up his phone to film, crossed the street, intervened with his body when ICE attacked someone, pushing them to the ground. Then ICE pepper sprayed him several times, pulled him down to the ground, attacked him and shot him.

We seem to have the video from the lady in the red coat. It shows the guy observing and filming and that's it. They executed him for filming.

We need to do this here

So we're supposed to sit here and let them kill us off, one by one? That's whats happening here. We're staying nonviolent and they're fucking brutalizing and killing us. We have no leaders. There are no saviors.

There was a lady in a red coat filming from a few feet away on the other side of the street. Hopefully her video will be released to make it extra super clear that this guy had no fucking gun.

It’s real that struggling businesses are taking the hit today for expressing solidarity with the victims of ICE slavecatchers. So for those with means, I declare the weekend Spent That Shit Saturday and Sunday at their shops and eateries to provide them some instant payback. #spendthatshit

O'Hara refusing to step away from the scene is something to keep an eye on

it's why even at our worst, I can't hate this country. so many of us are awful. the people in power are so often awful. but we are a 287 different cultures in a trench coat and when those of us who love being in that trench coat with the gang rise up, we are fucking amazing.
