To clarify, 2 vehicles at the same time.

If CEOs want to fund parties, they can give $100k to every restaurant in town to cater something in their immediate neighborhoods

hate to break it to you but this also applies to the vast majority of democratic politicians

When they say "courts are the firewall" it means we can count on personal injury law firms to put up so many billboards asking if you've been injured in a crash intentionally caused by federal agents. alexandriainjuryattorney.com/blog/car-acc...

I JUST FIGURED OUT MY PROBLEM. 🧵 I GREW UP WITH STUFF LIKE THIS AND REALITY HAS BEEN A MARKED DISAPPOINTMENT IN COMPARISON: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjBd...

It's been yet another LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG week, friends. I am out of sense. So, for the next several of hours, you get varying flavors of nonsense.

"[N]ot every peace is better than the war it prevents." medium.com/extra-extra/...

too many liberals on here who think criticizing democrats from a further left position means you are just helping republicans. as if these democrats are above reproach and we should support them unconditionally and not want them to move left as republicans keep shifting the overton window rightward

In this thread I will list the things the mayor did during the occupation: 1. He said the F word 1/

Here's the opinion and order from Brasel, finding a likely Fifth Amendment violation: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... This echoes the D.C. rulings I discussed at Law Dork earlier today: www.lawdork.com/p/the-dc-dis...

My eternal thanks to @coachfinstock.bsky.social for the video clip representing @klobuchar.senate.gov's behavior during the ongoing attack on Minnesota. Here's the full video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6lq... And the original song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXs0...

@governorwalz.mn.gov What are the updates? When do we see a draw down? What is the timeline? We need answers and we have been waiting for months.

people have been calling on your office for an eviction moratorium & anything else that can help us protect each other, where mutual aid has been doing all the heavy lifting & you have the fucking gall to send out this spam text asking for contributions to your fucking legal fund?? beyond parody.

I am wary of any politicians doing a victory lap today before we’ve seen on the ground that ICE has left. Their surety makes me think that they negotiated something and I think they owe it to us to be as transparent as possible about what that is.

Okay, I suspect I'm pissing on the third rail here AND I need to understand my community better. 🧵 I am universally contemptuous of federal representatives. Universally - with zero exceptions. Not a single one of them has used their enumerated powers to the fullest. 1/

There is still time to register. Fill out the interest form now, and we’ll share more details with you: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

HAPPENING TONIGHT: Have you been affected by ICE? Join Sahan Journal and local community trauma specialists Felicia Sy, Ana Mariella Rivera and Munira Maalimisaq for a free, in-person wellness workshop at 6 p.m. Come learn practical self-care tools in a supportive space. Dinner will be provided.

It’s been, um, a busy week. Any reporting on what our mayor promised Homan? What did Sheriff Witt promise Homan? What did Walz promise Homan?

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

Fuck it. Make me President of the United States of America. First of all, I cannot possibly do a worse job than SEVERAL previous presidents. Second, I will ENSURE that every single person who stood by or helped fascists gets what's coming to them.

On behalf of Minnesotans, I officially declare @klobuchar.senate.gov Not a Minnesotan. You actively voted to support Trump's regime. You CONTINUE to support Trump's regime. You did NOTHING to help us. Get the FUCK out of our state. YOU WILL NEVER AGAIN BE WELCOME HERE.

Abolish ICE. Abolish DHS. Abolish the police. Universal basic income. Medicare for All. 100% wealth tax above $10,000,000 for individuals. Every single person involved in Trump's regime arrested and tried for their crimes. Ditto for every quisling and capitulator. That's a start.

What actual EVIDENCE do you have in support of this claim? The federal government kills us, assaults us, abducts us... ... and if memory serves, you scolded Minneapolitans to keep the streets clear.

A few ways we will know ICE is actually gone: • Commuters no longer report regular verified ICE sightings • Abduction reports dry up • Hotel and car rentals end • Non-ICE federal employees are brought back to the Whipple

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

I’m gonna call it. We will see a few days of calm and then as vulnerable people start to emerge, targeted blitz operations. I’m betting they leave 1000 here. Three times Chicago at the peak with about a third of the population. Here’s the thing…they hired all those agents for a reason.

my 2021 meme still accurate

* Continue to patrol, observe, and support your neighbors with daily tasks. * A recovery package that includes support for small businesses and impacted neighbors who are facing hardship and legal assistance and rental assistance, so our neighbors aren’t displaced. 10/

I recommend you continue your current plan until we can give you more information. We still need observers and the community to be on the lookout. These “draw-downs” are expected to continue through next week, which means we will still need help now and in the future. 6/

I am still asking the community to remain cautious and vigilant until we can confirm what this truly means. They said they are not backing down from mass deportation but will be ending the operation in Minnesota soon. 5/

This post is not for Minnesotans. THE GOVERNMENT LIES. Everything they say is a lie. When they tell the truth, it is in service of a greater lie. So when Homan says the surge is ending... ... HE IS LYING. The surge isn't over until ICE is destroyed and our neighbors ALL come home.

Encouraging our Chicago allies who survived Operation Midway Blitz to please post here about that post-”drawdown.” IIRC heat died down but ICE is back doing same shady shit only shadier. Celebrate the win (when it actually happens, not just a liar‘s words) but know this is a strategic retreat.

📣 NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on! “Searching for Birds” searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com 🐤 A project, an article, an exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.

YOU KNOW WHAT IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE HAD A FUCKING FUNCTIONAL STATE GOVERNMENT THAT WOULD STEP IN AND HELP PEOPLE BUT NO WE’VE ALL GOT TO SCRAMBLE AND FIGURE IT OUT OURSELVES

Today I baked muffins for the first time in years. They were thoroughly edible and almost completely devoid of flavor. And dry. Quite dry. I am very proud and also am soliciting recommendations for things into which I should dip them to provide actual flavor and supplemental moisture.

Way to shift the burden onto individuals there, Governor.

We’re never going to turn our backs on our neighbors and stop exercising our constitutional rights. No amount of meetings with Tom Homan or anyone in the Trump administration will change our community’s resolve. This only ends when every DHS agent leaves and they no longer exist to terrorize us.

rep. kraft is so whimsical , using his pez collection to show what the ice presence in minnesota looks like

I WILL PUT ON A FULL PRODUCTION OF THE WIZARD OF OZ AND YOU ARE ALL INVITED TO PARTICIPATE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6cn...

@governorwalz.mn.gov we are also over a month into ICE occupying our state and beating people (illegally), kidnapping people (illegally), breaking into their homes (illegally), and killing people (again, illegally). So how about you use gubernatorial powers instead of posting about legislation?

If you’d like to help out, Amazon’s pricing on dash cams is now damn near what we can get them for wholesale - if you’d like to help ordering a few on the wishlist, we’d sure appreciate it - we can’t keep up with demand for our ICE observers here in Minnesota:

"Based on my experience" is not evidence. What evidence do you have in support of this claim? You just did a public speculation - which is not news reporting, I hasten to add.

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN. No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated. Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here? No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

I pulled together a small list of body camera-related resources, just in case anybody is curious about how abolitionists think about them. - Mariame Kaba wrote a blog post in 2014 about police reforms to oppose: www.usprisonculture.com/2014/12/01/p...

Seems like this is the kind of thing @governorwalz.mn.gov and @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social could be addressing since they've given up on the feds - just the bare fucking minimum. Any kind of recognition to the public that they even see this. I remain astonished that Walz has all but disappeared.

Axios reports @governorwalz.mn.gov won’t call an eviction moratorium because it is “legally fraught” yet the definition sure sounds like one. www.mprnews.org/story/2023/0...
