Walz sent the National Guard to protect the ICE detention center. I wonder if he's ordered them to give donuts to the prisoners in the center? Sometimes nice isn't so nice.

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

Info in this thread can help us better detect fissures in Trump's mass base, which he uses to push the billionaires' agenda of profit uber alles. Mass resistance to the barbarian deportations has had an effect, though at a terrible cost in Minneapolis.

Clearly a diversion to shift our attention from resistance on the streets to ICE. Ignore.

BREAKING: Federal agents just shot and killed a man in Minneapolis after brutally beating him in front of witnesses. We condemn this killing and demand ICE and CBP agents withdraw from Minneapolis immediately.

When the international confederation of teachers unions, dominated by the NEA and AFT, its largest members, takes a stand against Israel, we know the movement in the US to defend Palestine has had a profound effect. Solidaridad!

Is it a coincidence the Tik Tok deal is finalized and this heightened surveillance pops up just as resistance ramps up in Minnesota today?

Impossible to say anything about Trump's regime that isn't a new low, but read the replies to feel not all is lost. Many do know this is evil. And yes, it seems accurate. First reply gives the source.

Pure evil. And we must try to fight it! Only question is how much money Jared and his pals will pocket from this war crime.

These are heartwarming stories of real ass people helping other real ass people and I would absolutely love it if someone in power would help these brave and selfless souls

This is one of those studies that is as heartbreaking as it is essential and well-executed. Trump could enact this tragic policy so easily in part because quality science education has been neglected in our schools for decades, in the "race to the top" to make us economically competitive.

This is meaningful because it shows Dems are feeling some heat. Other than that, we can already name the excuses they'll give for not fighting for this and backtracking to the hideous position of retraining the thugs being allowed to kill at will.

It's the condescension of ignorance, made possible by imperial blinders.

This is a union whose fight putting most of the labor movement to shame. Lots of lessons here for those bellicose labor "leaders" who pretend to stand for the working class while kissing Trump's ... ring.

Paying for Union Labor is WORTH IT. Union labor may cost more, but it’s because workers bring skill, quality, and reliability to every job. Signatory contractors who keep it local not only provide good jobs but also strengthen the community and support the local economy. Companies that hire union

British Jews know they don't face being shot in the face by armed SS-like thugs if they peacefully defend their neighbors from deportation.

A new federal witch hunt, now against @ctulocal1.bsky.social . The union's explanation is spot-on. Read it to understand what's really happening. We need to call out lack of political help from our national union @aft.org, supposedly a political powerhouse! www.ctulocal1.org/posts/congre...

So disappointed the state union of education workers in Minnesota hasn't stepped up to support the action in the state's largest cities, being built by both its locals. Have I missed the statement and resources from @educationmn.bsky.social? educationminnesota.org/about-us/who...

On Venezuela: "The operation was designed as spectacle. It was not enough to extract concessions quietly. Power had to be staged: the ability to strike a sovereign country, remove its president in under ninety minutes, and send a message ...'This is our hemisphere.'" tempestmag.org/2026/01/the-...

THE MAN THEY TOOK WRAPPED IN A BLANKET IS A U.S. CITIZEN. This is the Kavanaugh Stop of all Kavanaugh Stops.

Eyes on the prize. Every use of "libtard" shows they have no arguments to win people's minds, just insults and brutal force to replace thinking.

Gee! What a coincidence!

Disregard all GOP expressions of concern. Look instead at how they vote - to give Trump free rein in foreign policy, no matter how reckless. As long as that's what his billionaire backers want.

I started reporting this article weeks before the recent crackdowns on Minneapolis. It's important to remember that the nationwide organizing context of the uprising in Minneapolis right now is not just about protesting but mobilizing whole communities to protect the most vulnerable. #stopice

If you’re a Democrat thinking about running for president in 2028 and you don’t believe calling to abolish ICE is a line in the sand for Democratic voters, you’re done before you even begin. This isn’t something that can be fixed. It’s broken and it needs to be torn down to the ground.

Even the SS showed their faces.

Dems are learning the wrong lessons from Vichy. Collaboration doesn't save us!

Haven’t been on here in ages… but today I’m back to share my family’s story about being stuck in the emergency dept at an Alberta hospital for more than 90 hours. The UCP is fiddling while the system burns. @picardonhealth.bsky.social www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The call for a general strike in Minnesota on January 23 to counter ICE shows the urgency of making teachers unions on the local, state, and national level ACT on claims of social justice commitments and union democracy: futureschools.substack.com/p/minnesota-...

Thugs? Comparison to the SS is chilling: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schutzs...

Helpful article and valuable history. Do share with people who still think police "unions" should be considered part of organized labor.

#ICYMI .

Sounds like a great opportunity to make our work internat

Keep ICE out of schools! I signed this petition from Education Minnesota, circulated by @aft.org. Hope you do too. (Not in the letter and urgently needed - Let the Dems know we want them to abolish ICE): secure.ngpvan.com/MMulNbWbr06B...

People are starting to grasp what makes for an effective political argument.

1/4 🧵An extraordinary 12 minute film, "Marseille 1943: a forgotten history," in the Memorial des deportations, shows how Dems are repeating the mistake of Vichy: www.droledetrame.com/en/node/162

Question is whether the billionaires (private equity, investment banking, as well as Silicon Valley) see endless war as in their economic interests. It will take more than EU boycotts to show them it's not.

All true and should be said! We also should recall the political history of this legislation, passed by the Dems, Clinton/Gore, in 1996, and never rescinded: www.aclu.org/news/crimina...

“If tenured faculty can be dismissed without a hearing at which the administration has to make the case before an elected body of peers, then that’s effectively the end of tenure in South Dakota." — Mark Criley, AAUP Department of Academic Freedom, Tenure, and Governance

Today, someone who has been surfing the AI hype wave to boost his career, got upset by our position paper. He gave no substantive couinterargument. Just called it “activism”. As if that is an insult. In a world where techno-fascism hollows out our institutions, I’m a proud scientific activist.

Good to see Goldman,my representative, step up, for once, defend a principle other than protecting Israel's annihilation of Palestinians and big money. Clearly he's concerned, and rightly, about @bradlander.bsky.social primary challenge.

Frey: "This notion of inflammatory comments -- c'mon guys. I dropped an F bomb, they killed someone. Which one of those is more inflammatory? I'm going with the killing somebody."

If everyone just lets this go, that's the ballgame. Anytime they want to kill someone they'll just say the FBI is handling it.

The ICE murder in Minn. along with our takeover of Venezuela show beyond a doubt this is a rogue government, run by a president who gets his power from billionaires who own the GOP outright and rent most of the Dems. Perhaps we should consider that when we're told to write letters of protest?

Sounds plausible. Good to hear others weigh in though.

I know it's not mainstream conventional wisdom but I think "Abolish ICE" is a perfectly reasonable response to this and you can get the public to buy in. Most people don't want masked murderous thugs roving their streets

Yes, let's demand the Dems don't fund ICE. Still be prepared to hear excuses Dems give, attempting to obscure their duty to gut this criminal agency.
