The United States government doesn’t ban political organizations outright, but it does have a legal apparatus, put in place almost a quarter-century ago, for transmogrifying protesters into prosecutable terrorists.

Snail helm is go

Over 30 millions years of evolution has given us the perfect bird.

Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

It's #DragonAppreciationDay it seems! Or is it #AppreciateADragonDay? I don't know which as I only found out recently lol. For those who don't know me, I paint a lot of dragons! Here's one soaking up the last rays of sun while overlooking its domain. #watercolor #gouache #dragons #traditionalart

DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee. In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

Important shit that I’m still trying to learn.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

It's book launch week! Spend the weekend catching up with my bargain basement cyborg hivemind. Murder, mystery, and a detective who just wants to be left alone with her poetry and bad romance novels. #book #books #BookSky #scifi

We'll have to see if this does anything. I'm not holding my breath.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

🚨🚨VERIFIED STRIKE FUND LINK ALERT🚨🚨

in case you didn't understand why transphobic rhetoric worried us so much about this guy, well it's because it's a signal that shit like this is coming next.

Target is headquartered in Minneapolis, so it seems significant to me that a Minneapolis city council member is calling on residents to boycott the company for its role in facilitating ICE activity in the city.

Seems as if this works — if employers start firing people for standing up for their neighbors and fellow humans — than a remedy is publicizing the identity of those employers.

2K26 MN politicians stop using the term “fall for the bait” challenge level IMPOSSIBLE

That's only mildly terrifying 👀

Breaks my heart to share this, but today is my last day at The Verge and I am looking for work! I'd really like to stay in video games, preferably in some kind of journalistic capacity but I can do PR/Marketing and maybe even a lil Narrative Design. Please get in touch! www.ashparrish.com

Dear neighbor, It’s become common practice for ICE to stage its operations at the Target parking lot on East Lake Street. While immigration officials tear families apart, Target corporation is silent and makes its workers and customers feel unsafe. 1/

Same with Uline. Stop using these insane companies. There are SO MANY ALTERNATIVES

Worse than zero response, collusion.

this was a brutal piece to write, haven't been this emotional while writing something since late 2024. Karma Police is both emotionally fitting and correct for the time period (1997). Please enjoy

Uh, the Pierce County (Tacoma), Washington sheriff just threatened to secede and overthrow the county government by force if they try to fire him. Like no shit. No exaggeration. Watch it.

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis. He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden. (After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties. The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized. Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

This is what's happening in Minnesota

“ICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.” - the …we rate dogs guy

Y'all I kicked a box this afternoon that had some heavy stuff in it and may have actually properly injured my foot. 2026 can we not?

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know.

i think gavin newsom fucking sucks and if you ever try to guilt me into voting for him i’ll scream

I just got a call from a relative letting me know his close friend’s mother was kidnapped by ICE while she was heading to work. We’re close to our goal, but we need your help to bring Lidia Escobar Maya home. This will help with lawyer and bond fees. Working is not a crime. 💔 gofund.me/c4fd43a62

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

ARTISTS! It's a grim time so let's support each other! If you are open for private commissions post your work and your rates here! I want to boost you and get you some work! Anyone feel free to share this thread!

So, if I'm following all this correctly, a bunch of internet shitposters who spent years screaming "don't tread on me" and warning about federal agents stomping out people's rights... have been hired as ICE agents to go around breaking into people's homes, kidnapping & shooting them

Us brown Minnesotans might choose otherwise...

alright chat, how do we feel about this Neon Light as a new $50 experimental series? #art #wolf #werewolf #sword #neonlight #experimental #commission #stylized #fantasy

and i said fuck ice in the official record

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely. That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it. We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

Please respect the folks in the neighborhood and their wishes, guys We all wanna get spicy sometimes but this is coming directly from the people we want to support the most
