I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

For all those who have been calling for a General Strike. How we support a localized/ state-wide General Strike to succeed, is an important muscle building exercise for a larger General Strike.

Historically as in Watergate resignations (diff context but still similar enough …) - this sort of thing is more than a canary in the coal mine, it is more like a three alarm fire at this point🗃️

The reason that Donald Trump spurs so much hate divisiveness and division, is because he's hiding his own criminal activities — past and present. Like the Epstein files. Also if you haven't heard of Sascha Riley yet, you may want to acquaint yourself with his interview tapes. TW: SA Murder

. This is now the third week they’ve been in violation of releasing the Epstein files And nobody is in jail or being held in contempt. What are we doing next guys? Because we’re not letting this go. #Epstein #TrumpFiles .

Boys were abused. I saw an IG from a male survivor who was an Abercrombie model seriously abused by Les Wexner (billionaire founder) who was infatuated w Epstein and signed several of his properties over to him. Unspoken quid pro quo (blackmail of sorts)

"you can see ours when we see the complete epstein files"

Trump is compromised by Russia. These emails show that Epstein helped Russia blackmail Trump:

They lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and take a little break to not release the Epstein files and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and naptime and lie and lie and lie and lie and

WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES?

The Jay Powell investigation is a distraction from the ICE Minneapolis shooting which is a distraction from the Venezuela invasion which is a distraction from the Epstein files. Release the Epstein files!

The president of the United States is actively breaking the law by not releasing the Epstein files because he and his billionaire donors raped children.

So the Jerome Powell subpoena didn't work to distract from the Epstein files, so now Trump, the Peace President, the one to "end never-ending wars," is going to attack Iran and stir up the Middle East War. When cosplaying becomes real. He is clueless. EPSTEIN FILES EPSTEIN FILES EPSTEIN FILES

Seeing the proof of the Epstein files isn’t shocking. I knew 🍊💩 was a horrendous human when he mocked a disabled journalist. I saw how disturbing of an individual he was. No one with a moral compass or emotional intelligence does that. Little did I know how absolutely fucking depraved he really is.

Please excuse Epstein. He was sick. Signed Epstein's mom. -- Welcome Back Kotter Please release Epstein's Files. They were all sick. Signed Epstein's mom. -- The American People

@aoc.bsky.social has this exactly right.

The Senate is considering legislation to fund the government in 2026 But we are seeing-in real time-the monster Republicans created when they tripled the ICE budget in Trump’s Big Ugly Bill Renee Good dead Dozens assaulted So many lives destroyed Democrats cannot continue to support this atrocity

Federal judge orders HHS to restore $12m in funding to American Academy of Pediatrics https://twp.ai/4itnAw

DAVE MATTHEWS: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for masked thugs to roam our streets & terrorize our communities... She was trying to get away. He shot her 3x in the head. Murdered in cold blood. They’re trying to tell us not to believe what we see. FUCK ICE.” (H/T @marcofoster.bsky.social )

Absolutely insane that my life has become texting with local church pastors to try and find a safe place to hold an emergency meeting for parents at my kid’s’ preschool to figure out how to respond to the federal government kidnapping neighbors.

A great reminder. A wise soul predicted we would need ongoing witness to atrocity. Keep recording. Their distortion displays the ongoing inhumanity within. Keep witnessing. Keep rising. We shall overcome. #proudblue #pinks #MomSky

🚨🚨🚨 4 hours ago: ICE agent, “Have you not learned?” The message is, “we will kill you,” and “do not film us.” WE WATCHED the MSG from every angle. ICE agents shoot to kill.

Yes. They introduced NO new evidence/facts. The evidence/facts are in support of murder, and facts...don’t stop being facts...because they involve human beings. A mother was killed while trying to leave a situation she didn’t create. That’s not emotion...that’s reality.

How much longer? This is NOT America we can live in.

When I said I was concerned about ICE in Chicago (because I live here!) coworkers said I was a white US citizen, I had nothing to worry about. Didn't believe me when I said it's not going to matter, this administration doesn't care about collateral damage.

When it comes to fatal state violence against civilians, the U.S. is already an outlier. And now the federal government is using guns against the people, calling it patriotism, and promising itself impunity and absolution. 🧵 The result will be more people shot and killed by our government —

Johnson: It is equally inappropriate for ICE agents to just throw teargas out of a window because people are yelling at them. It is unacceptable for ICE agents to go up and threaten to arrest and harm people because they are honking a horn or exercising a protest, that is unacceptable.

AOC eviscerates JD Vance on ICE killing: ‘Believes shooting a mother is acceptable’

The correct way to greet a Buddhist monk is with hands in a prayer position and a slight bow. They use the style “venerable” and can be addressed as “venerable sir.”

NGL... As a winter person who grew up in NY, spent a cumulative 10 years in Wisconsin, lived in MD/DC where they still can't deal with snow, has driven across almost every mountain range in the country, the Keystone cops aspect of ICE trying to drive/park/maneuver on icy roads is comedy gold.

There is no one in the White House that has morals

Democracy itself depends on humans caring for one another. That's why education is so vitally crucial. Citizens need to be taught how very much all of us depend on public good will. Instead, dumpty and GOP are proudly supporting "might makes right." They're racist haters unworthy of anything at all.

Not to mention "Al Green" introducing articles of impeachment twice this year. Once 78 voted yes.This last time in the past 2 months 140. + quite a few who were too afraid to step up & do their damn job & protect our constitution voted "present" Spines for sale(backbones) $250 dollars for 250 years

Agreed... but It shows us: A- where we need to/can/must strengthen the system to codify boundaries & limits above & beyond mere norms. B- how many really good people there are & there have been. Not perfect, never, but very very good overall. It is time to build towards our more perfect union.

So many of these policies are landing squarely on the people who voted for them. Maybe, just maybe, the ones who said we’re all connected and community matters knew something. But by all means, keep believing your Etsy shop is one algorithm away from billionaire row.

Character matters. Integrity matters. Not just for candidates but also for VOTERS!

I’m so mad right now

After the DOJ sued Arizona, demanding unredacted voter rolls, AZ SOS Adrian Fontes (D) refused to comply with the illegal order: “𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮’𝙧𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙪𝙩 𝙢𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙟𝙖𝙞𝙡 𝙞𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙗𝙤𝙙𝙮 𝙚𝙡𝙨𝙚 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙄’𝙢 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤 𝙞𝙩.” #USDemocracy #MomSky

WITNESS: "I just can't let this narrative of self-defense go any further. That’s absolutely not what it was… ICE agents didn’t let anyone help her for 15 minutes, then medics couldn’t get through with their ambulance.”

ICE ILLEGALLY assaulting MORE US citizens in North Carolina. Where the fuck is Congress?! Oh right, getting paid to look the other way.

Renee Nicole Good’s death is due to Convicted Felon Donald Trump hate. It's due to Botox Barbie Noem hiring unqualified and untrained ICE agents. May all involved never have a peaceful night's sleep again. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsACriminal www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

This is a US government official calling for any US citizens who dissent from his immigration policy preferences, and "get in the way" of federal officers, to be executed by being shot in the face. By "get in the way" he means: being present, unarmed, dissenting, & driving away, without attacking.

#ReneeNicoleGood #SayHerName

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

One of the most respected, actually conservative voices on the bench had this to say about the GOP and Trump.

I think The Epstein Files are Really Really bad. I mean BAD.

THANK YOU! About goddamn time someone in Congress did this. If the Red Team can't bring themselves to vote to impeach (and in the Senate convict) Noem, they are just as guilty. Today's ICE murder should be the red line. The buck stops at the top. None of what happened should be partisan.

Protesters are reportedly clogging up ICE’s hotline all day today leaving hundreds of messages where they play out loud recordings from the Nuremberg Trials.

This is a test for Democrats right now. If you really want to grab the mantle of leadership and emerge as a frontrunner, you have to speak out forcefully and against ICE... Right now. No centrist mealy-mouthed bullshit.
