On that note, my worried small ass is off to bring it all down, emotionally, to enjoy my *25* years of marriage, tomorrow. 25 years. Not bad for a couple of fucked up kids of divorced Catholics.

Can’t decide between “Martha worried about everything“ and “Zacceus was too small.“ I think that both are my superpowers. 👹

Durant, Oklahoma and the Choctaw Nation say fuck ICE. “The tribal council unanimously approved a bill opposing the rumored facility over the weekend.” www.kosu.org/news/2026-01...

The Civil Rights Division is going to charge a Black Man under the Ku Klux Klan Act on MLK day. Do I have that right?

Like the Afghani and Iraqi people who helped our military on the promise of protection and citizenship during the Bush wars, our country tells all of our allies from previous wars to go fuck themselves. The opposition party apparently agrees. @democrats.org

Who up bending they arc toward justice

The problem was not labeling Trump correctly as a fascist. The problem was not treating him as one. They still aren’t! That creates a gap where you’re warning people that things are on fire, but instead of evacuating or getting water, you’re casually sitting down with a cup of tea.

Weird criticism to level at a play about a historical time period in which every single female stage role was performed by a person with a penis

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

Durbin - durbining instead of just calling it a fucking day and resigning so someone who actually knows what’s at stake can take over.

“the civil rights issue is not just some ephemeral domestic issue which can be kicked around by vociferous demagogues, but it is an eternal moral issue which could determine the fate of our nation. If we are concerned with the survival of democracy ... (interview at Hillel, Hyde Park) 1/2

This is a definition that has literally nothing to do with working or class.

“They voted for him for understandable reasons: to stop Hillary of (sic) Kamala…” If this isn’t all the proof that the @democrats.org need that there’s literally no amount of ass-kissing you can do to get trump voters to date you, then you should just make the full move over to their side.

Very good piece by @mashagessen.bsky.social, the author of Surviving Autocracy, who left Russia in 2013 as the authoritarian hammer really started coming down, and moved to the United States. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/o...

God bless the United States of Minnesota

I'm watching literal Nazis register to run as Democrats because they want to either (a) trick people not paying attention (b) take advantage of the good natured people believing you can change and that's why we're here now.

The Congresswoman Criminalized for Visiting ICE Detainees LaMonica McIver went to tour an immigration jail in her New Jersey district. Now she faces seventeen years in prison. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202... | @newyorker.com

Just updated my ipad and it looks like we're back in the 2007 shiny button, rounded rectangle stuff. 🫤

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

If they are going to kill us and call us bitches, we need to be bigger bitches.

You are not imagining it!!! Agents have been more aggressive and more emboldened, quicker to fly into a rage. And the community being more organized/prepared to confront them bc they've seen this play out in other cities = feds know they have even less time to execute a kidnapping

Ah. Well my video is available online and is never paywalled.

Albatross chicks begin hatching in a few weeks! Note the “egg talk.” Research in other #Birds suggests vocalization thru the egg shell may help embryos learn species-specific calls & identify parents. Thanks USFWS biologist/volunteer Dan Rapp a Black-footed albatross pair: youtu.be/abpU3raeAMo

They don’t have a video upload form but are documenting cases of fed abuse in Minneapolis.

For those interested in the processes we use, take a look at this piece. Documenting war crimes in Ukraine isn't substantially different from documenting ICE activity in terms of process reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/how-bel...

Does anyone know if independent media or any other group in Minneapolis is collecting videos of fed abuse like the indy media collective did here in Chicago?

Discovered the Art Institute of Chicago bot this morning. One of my top accounts on here now

Working on getting connected with folks/orgs who could use cash. I’ll post a GFM update as soon as I have stuff allocated. We will use the whistle fund going forward for community safety and community care wherever folks are under attack. So whistles, print materials, mutual aid.

whistles can’t work everywhere. some communities find they increase fear. and before they can be used, people have to be educated about what they mean. enough people have to have them, and know how to respond. and places have to be dense enough that there are enough people to come ASAP.

I have done my part to welcome the LA Rams into the watershed 🌊🌊

This opens up wider questions about how far the UK and Canada in the 5 eyes intel sharing framework as well as other former allies of the United States can still provide the Americans with any sensitive intelligence information at all

I think the White House badly underestimates the strength of the pan-European folk memory of 1930s appeasement, and how deep it still cuts. I suppose this is what happens when you learn in school that WW2 started in 1941 in Hawaii.

The next good thing will never happen without multiracial solidarity and everyone coming together to build it so it's been a big point for me to try to see how that's developing as a lot of people get mobilized. It is STILL important in urgent times to think about different experiences & make space

Evergreen: “The men who were less-skilled at the game and performing worse relative peers—made frequent, nasty comments to female gamers. In other words, sexist dudes are literally losers.” www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-int...

Let me tell y'all about guys like Newsom, because we learned the hard way in Dallas. Eric Johnson was a respected Democratic state rep when he was elected mayor in 2019. This made sense, as Dallas is deep blue. Johnson's tenure began normally. But then he started hanging out with Republicans. 🧵

My last two shots before my world went dark.

Trump has already lost. No would-be dictator can repress cities united against them. Tyranny only works when the people have to doubt their own collective willingness to resist, and there is no doubt in Minneapolis, or Chicago, or LA, or Portland.

Not saying anything at all ;-) is there a point when CYBER may be used tu support the State goals? Not a joke. Tariffs aren’t a joke either!

this is what the nail girlies are up to

"A Woman's Game" is easily one of my new favorite non-academic books on soccer and politics. Written by the first journalist exclusively devoted to women soccer, @suzywrack.bsky.social of the Guardian, it both chronicles and contextualizes the history of women soccer and is excellently written.

He's fleeing now, maybe attempting to march, still surrounded. Folks chanting, "go home Nazi!"

Honestly all Denmark needs to do is to withdraw all Ozempic exports to the US and Americans will finally revolt

Good morning. I read this dispatch from a comrade in Minneapolis this morning and thought that some of you might appreciate it too.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
