Friends and Thriends, I need your help with this fantastic legislation that will repeal Illinois' anti-BDS law. It is unconstitutional and particularly shameful when Israel is committing genocide. I signed a witness slip in favor, and I hope you'll do the same. Easy instructions are at the link!

Does anyone else remember this show?

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

Please, if you are able, give even 5 dollars. My child is fighting to survive, and every small amount helps us move closer to the care he needs. @industrialathena.blacksky.app @citizenio.bsky.social @reggiereece.bsky.social @singlecheeseburger.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/twha...

Desperately looking for anyone in Scotland to foster a 2 year old female cat named Bambi. Incredibly affectionate and friendly. Indoor-only. Whether temporary (a few weeks) or longer term. She's going to be put to sleep otherwise -- due to a heart issue that won't affect her for another 12 months

Julius "Juice" Collins is a legend in the Minneapolis music scene, and he's dealing with a rare autoimmune disease. I love his work with Greazy Meal, Sons of Almighty and other bands. Please give what you can spare! <3 www.gofundme.com/f/juice-we-g...

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Reminder that the actual people doing the brilliant investigative reporting, the people that ARE ProPublica, are having to fight against management there who refuse basic worker needs and want to use AI slop. If you currently donate to ProPublica, please donate to the union/strike fund!

My little sister has spent the year doing the impossible: making an ornery group of seniors and an eager group of emergent bilinguals READ BOOKS. Her mission is to encourage reading (in TX 😩) and we’d be grateful if you would consider donating a book or two. + www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Hey folks! Street Medics in Minneapolis have reached out to us asking for help boosting another wishlist! Everything on this list is going straight to Columbia Heights. (If you hate amazon, please visit www.standwithminnesota.com and find a different way to help! just help, that is what matters)

i'm being more intentional w/ how i engage with the digital world, either changing software or at the very least not giving money to things that annoy me. i'm tired of companies taking money for worsening their products and my general quality of life so here's a list if you need ideas where to start

My IRL friend's dad, a Laotian refugee, was seized by ICE and sent to a concentration camp in El Paso. His family is fundraising to afford legal fees. I'd really appreciate it if you could help. gofund.me/383933317

I told @ziibiing.com a few days ago that I wanted to sponsor rent for a family in Minneapolis, but then my brain collapsed. So @lefttheprairie.bsky.social used $3,300 of our surplus money from our GFM to pay the rent. We were going to fundraise to get it back, but I'd rather you send it here!

A water main break in south suburban Dixmoor has left around 50 homes without water. The village has seen at least six other water main breaks in recent weeks due to a combination of aging infrastructure and freezing temperatures. READ MORE: https://tinyurl.com/27w5a62z

Ghouls ⚖️

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

There are major federal tasks forces operating still in Memphis, New Orleans, Miami-Dade, Phoenix, South Texas, still raiding homes, kidnapping people, black-bagging people from courthouses. If ICE does controversial things but doesn't *say* controversial things, it disappears from the news.

And now, I'm almost out of firewood. We have a big snow supposed to hit this weekend so I'm raising my ask to $700. $400 for firewood to finish out the winter $150 for parts for my Van, and $150 to replace my carpet shampooer. PayPal.me/starbroken anything helps #winter #helpsky #mutualaid

The fact that Patreon won’t let me see my billing history in the app is so goofy.

was epstein uniquely responsible for evil or is he just the one obscenely wealthy person whose emails we're getting to read

I'd better not see anyone defending the Democrats in the Epstein files. We should all be able to agree associating with Jeffrey Epstein is gross and evil, right? So *everyone* in there from Trump on down needs to be launched into the sun, agreed? All of them.

Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

if you are looking for a place to give a few bucks today please think about b.resale in Minneapolis. the shooting yesterday happened in front of their store. they are staying open as a refuge. they’ve been handing out free supplies for ICE watch for weeks. cashapp $bresalempls paypal.me/bresalempls

ICE agents killed a man and are disappearing the witnesses.

Witnesses are being taken to Whipple. From a lawyer friend: “They’re trying to keep local PD and BCA from getting statements and confiscating any phones with video.”

As I say every day- please try to imagine how you'd feel, and treat people how you'd want to be treated. I bet you wouldn't want to be scrolled past while you were trying to save your child.

"What stayed with Amundson most, she said, was not the adrenaline of the moment but the realization that came while she was holding the agent’s head in her hands and keeping his airway open. “I was hit so hard with the fact that this man would not do this for me,” she said.'"

Monsters. Irredeemable. Unreformable. There is no technical or administrative fix for this, this is not a matter of training. This isn’t about policy at all. As a matter of democratic self-defense, ICE must not be tolerated.

Like many in our city, the Blade has struggled in Helene's ongoing aftermath. We're a local journalism co-op of working class trans people. It has not been an easy year. Amid exhaustion, illness, poverty and trauma we've still done important work. Please help us keep doing it.

I'd rather slam my head into the wall than ask AI for help on this creative problem, Thanks
