Tell mayor Katie Wilson to take decisive action to get ICE out of Seattle, at a listening session Monday, January 26 at 4:30 pm.

Today's bonus pigeon is 70 years old and he's fucking angry (and he's fucking right). Greg Ketter of DreamHaven Books in the Twin Cities 💛

I am once again asking for wealthy, powerful CEOs to display a fraction of the courage that regular people are showing every day in Minnesota

The lying is the story The lying ensures it will happen again

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

Rein in ? My neighbors in Minneapolis are being executed by the federal government. There’s no reining in a secret police. ABOLISH ICE NOW!

When will you learn. You must fight fascism every inch of the way. Fight. Stop complying in advance.

Voting no on the funding bill is your first step. But you must start acting like a member of an opposition party. We don’t need you to lower our expectations. We need you to show us that you are willing to fight this illegal activity coming from this unpopular administration.

So pass a bill that revokes the slush fund!

more then: rescission. Claw. It. All. Back. abolish ice. full stop.

PSA

I’m appalled & disgusted!

Some immigrant parents, fearful of their children facing similar uncertainty if they were to be arrested, detained or deported are taking the extreme step of legally transferring parental authority to teachers, co-workers, fellow parishioners and neighbors.

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has yet to make a statement on the murder of Alex Pretti by ICE maga-aligned agents in Minneapolis, Minbesita two days ago, bc he's a fraud and a coward. He is the only Democratic Senator who hasn’t issued a statement on Pretti’s killing.

“It’s like Call of Duty,” one could be heard saying via a TV mic, referring to a first-person shooter military video game. “So cool, huh?” " Immediately after Pretti's murder. Jan 6ers, Proud Boys, self-righteous incels. These emotionally stunted and sociopathic men have been handed our country.

Perhaps when this is over, the US will consider free education, universal healthcare, a universal basic income, and planetary ethics, leading the world into an unprecedented era of peace, kindness, and inclusion. Or maybe it will choose more of this stupid bullshit.

For fellow Canadians, Jim Pattison owns the PriceSmart, Save-on-Foods, Urban Farm, Choices, and Nesters grocery stores among others. If you shop there it would be a good idea to let them know how you feel about their parent company profiting off fascism in the country threatening us.

Canadians/West-Coasters: Boycott Save-On-Foods, Buy-Low, and any Pattinson-owned business, who is currently deciding whether to collaborate with USA’s ICE. “It is currently owned by Jim Pattison Developments, a Canada-based development company, and is currently vacant.”

Emily Lowan Jim Pattison, BC grocer billionaire, owns a US warehouse that will soon be an ICE facility. Let’s crank up the boycott pressure on Pattison and organize for a real tax on these ghouls. This is a stark reminder of how the billionaire class aids and abets fascist forces.

OF COURSE they are completely lying about the guy they were targeting in the action that resulted in them murdering pretti. "he died defending a criminal" is just projection again

Residents of Maine, Minnesota, et al... I have heard from a Minneapolis resident that ICE is coming into neighborhood bars undercover, wearing Twins, Timberwolves, etc gear and asking stuff like, "Where's a good place for Mexican food?" Do not answer. Protect your neighbors.

Totally understand the Puka hate but I'll never understand the Stafford hate. He's a wizard, one of the best to ever play the position, and he's on our side! Born in Texas and played football at Georgia and somehow still didn't get MAGAed

#EpsteinFiles #Coverup #Russia #Epstein 👉 Epstein & Maxwell, multiple trips to Russia (1992-2003), continued payments to Russian girls (2008-2012). In 2020 Deutsche Bank fined $150 Million over Epstein's transactions

and by the way, i’m not just saying this as rhetoric. that is actually what the numbers are, and i’m qualified to say that, as someone in the field

just opened the center console of this vehicle rental and discovered a bunch of know your rights cards and a whistle.

What does Citizens Bank financing of ICE prisons have to do with the capture of 5-year old Liam Conejo Ramos? It's that he was taken to a south Texas detention center run by CoreCivic, one of the for-profit prison companies being financed by Citizens.

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

I guess we're back to this: www.meditationsinanemergency.com/the-she-made...

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding. Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

For the Canadians who want to help but feel like they can't: The vehicle here is Canadian made and was sold to ICE. Your Provincial government should know support like this is unacceptable. globalnews.ca/news/1155658...

Every time I remember the 28th Virginia Battle flag I feel compelled to remind non-Minnesotans about it. Captured by MN troops at Gettysburg. Virginia has asked for it back MANY times, and all governors (of all parties) have refused and told them to fuck off. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...

Ewwwwwee

During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake

I don't post about my kids' school but we're doing it, too. Seems like every public school in the Twin Cities has one. Look around, pick one, donate a few bucks to assist people directly. Neighbors helping neighbors. That's what we're doing right now.

oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove. people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

I also have a little man, who with a single look determined the lass was underage and left her alone. Another reason spiders are superior to humans

The invincible resolve and indomitable spirit of a community determined to throw off the yoke of injustice. Thank you Minneapolis for your strength and nonviolent resistance amidst horrific ongoing tragedy.

The WSJ editorial board says it was "foolish" for Alex Pretti, a healthcare professional, to have attempted to attend to a woman who was assaulted and gassed by DHS agents. If one of these WSJ editors suffers a heart attack, I hope the EMS unit remembers his comment and acts accordingly.

Yesterday, the world lost one of the greatest and most impactful public health leaders Task Force Founder Dr. William H. (Bill) Foege, who died in Atlanta at the age of 89. Learn about Dr. Foege’s life and legacy: www.taskforce.org/bill-foege-t...

Meanwhile the WSJ editorial page says that Pretti — a nurse — “foolishly” tried to assist a woman who was being gassed, and that his actions “warranted arrest” www.wsj.com/opinion/time...

Before speaking with two armed men at the Pretti vigil last night, a man approached & asked if I was going to tell the truth. I said yes. He told me how frustrated he was at the media & the harm it’s causing to his community. I asked if he wanted to share words for the media on camera, & he did:

“He’s killing us in the streets and we still have to pay our taxes in April” is an incredibly compelling point.

I saw this dude vote for yet another federalist society judge a day after telling our soldiers not to follow illegal orders. Make me understand why that’s ok?
