As someone in the comments noted, if they're now losing the suburban white guys in Callaway ball caps, they're losing badly.

“To be hopeful in bad times is not foolishly romantic. Human history is not only of cruelty, but also compassion. The future is an infinite succession of presents. To live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory" Howard Zinn

In my opinion these people are the real heroes of the resistance to ICE. There’s no credit, no one can talk about their work (because they directly contact vulnerable families). It’s expensive and dreary and neverending. ICE follows them around. But they refuse to abandon their neighbors

Yesterday, I said the best, most precise, most lawyerly language for discussing what is going on in the U.S. now is going to be fierce, intense language. Judge who just ordered Liam’s and his father’s release from an ICE concentration camp agrees. See my thread at mastodon.social/@heidilifeld....

Starting a new ongoing pinned 🧵 1/... I'll stay on this until it's front & center: the ultimate goal is election interference. Dirty tricks, thuggery on US streets, it's all about November (and beyond). We must STOP this in its tracks, somehow. Here we go:

Speaking to a friend after yesterdays poem about acts of kindness about a conversation he had with a waiter where he took time & care to engage in genuine dialogue & how much this was appreciated Being kind might not change the world but might change the world for one person #poetry #poemoftheday

Being able to identify hoaxes, avoid scams & debunk propaganda is a civic skill required in today's information society. That's why curriculum for students in Finland includes media literacy lessons, aimed at safeguarding a precious resource: the truth. Via @aljazeera.com

Colbert made me weep last night with this video. MN coming together reasserting their confidence that they made the right decision in the last election voting AGAINST what is actually happening to them now BECAUSE they voted against it! www.instagram.com/reel/DT6U_vu...

#NYT, didn't you guys read Elements of Style? Less is more. "Lies" > "advances one-sided narrative."

If only we as a country, as we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our independence, had some historical events from our founding era that might help us understand why agents of a distant government shouldn’t murder protesters on the streets of the city where they live.

What we’ve seen in Minnesota should make you furious, but it should also inspire you.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Thank you, @atrupar.com .

Looks like Senator Blumenthal's office worked with the whistleblowers, and has already put out a letter to the Trump admin demanding answers. Congress MUST act. This is a five alarm fire for our basic rights under the law. bsky.app/profile/blum...

“Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE” is a sentence that shouldn’t exist.

“A young protester narrowly avoided being killed but was left permanently blind after a Department of Homeland Security agent fired a nonlethal round at close range during a Santa Ana protest last week, according to family of the victim.” 1/13/26 www.latimes.com/california/s...

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

"The wall looks permanent until the day it comes down." data4democracy.substack.com/p/the-wall-l... Several people I know have used the word "beautiful" for this piece, and that's exactly right. A beautifully phrased essay on the bind we're in— until we aren't. Recommended, in an extreme way.

This is so blatantly unconstitutional...never, ever in my life would I have ever expected an American government treat citizens and residents in such a transparently authoritarian manner. THIS IS NOT NORMAL

Watch this and weep.

Please stop and read this statement from Renee Good's wife.

All this...

Emily Heller, an eyewitness, is speaking out to set the record straight. Officers were screaming at Renee Nicole Good, “Move, move, move.” So she moved, and they shot her multiple times? Then Noem and Trump branded her a domestic terrorist. Does everyone see how absolutely insane that sounds?

If Renee Good is a "a domestic terrorist" according to Kristi Noem it means the label is meaningless and will be used by the Trump Administration to murder anyone it wants. From Venezuelan fishermen to anti Trump protestors in the No Kings Rally. Eyes wide open, friends.

This is murder.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Activist arrested on-camera in Grand Rapids, Michigan while summarizing the reasoning behind a peaceful protest against the U.S. government’s kidnapping of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro held earlier that day.

ALOT going on in the world, so here’s an adorable yet majestic owl for your TL. Hang in there, friends! 🦉 🗃️

Before Zionism became the dominant intra-community debate, this was the original Jewish civil war. Its epicenter in the US was NY (as well as Chicago and in some culturally significant ways Hollywood). It was largely driven by class divisions between and within different immigrant waves.

Adding my voice to the chorus of praise for this book. The story of Pei's Glass Pyramid,but also a tribute to architects, artists - to anyone pursuing their unique, luminous dreams. Congratulations, @jeannewharvey.bsky.social and Khoa Le!📚 👍 #kidlit #architecture #booksky

Fellow William Steig fans, lovely piece by Liana Finck in the @newyorker.com FYI, PIPERS AT THE GATES OF DAWN has a nice chapter on him (and therapy). #kidlit #illustration #picture books 📚 www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

When I worked in a school library, one discussion we had before a lockdown drill was which of the three of us would push our copy machine in front of the door and which one of us would go hide with students. A truly fucked up conversation to need to have.
