If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head

Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time. Time to claim your true history.

And if you truly have none, you can be the person you wish your ancestors were

Less than $15k from the goal!

ICE has kidnapped so many people from their cars that the city had to put out this statement. Let that sink in.

oh shit this sounds cool. queer & BIPOC writers encouraged to apply btw feels like a job for the great @yoshiyoshitani.bsky.social tbh

Anyone who has been in an abusive relationship recognizes the "Look what you made me do!/Fighting back will only make it worse for you!" logic that runs through all of these admonishments.

People love to say “the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 moved the cultural needle back to Trump” while seemingly oblivious to the fact that the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 took place while Trump was in power and immediately proceeded an election that he lost.

White folks. Watch this. Twice if you have to. And don’t just listen to her. Understand what it is she is saying.

Two white friends tail me home if it's outside the hours when people are out and about. I'm damn near third generation Minnesotan. It's not just "you're a citizen you'll be fine." I'm a black woman alone. Who knows what they will do.

Imagine 7000 ICE agents sent to polling stations in Democratic strongholds, harass/intimidate black/brown people or people with accents, prove your citizenship or we detain you. Call Senators NOW to demand they block DHS/ICE appropriations. We aren't in Kansas anymore people! 1-202-224-3121

NEW — ICE violence has spread well beyond Minneapolis, with agents landing in small cities like St. Cloud. I spoke with Alice Valentine, a local queer trans woman, who protested ICE on Monday and was pepper sprayed, beaten and jailed as a result, along with her girlfriend. This is Alice's story:

This isn't housing policy per se, but in a city where infant care averages $26k a year, universal child care would function as a massive, de facto housing subsidy—freeing up roughly $2,100 a month for rent. More politicians need to grasp this: when it comes to "affordability," it's all connected.

A former federal agent after watching the New York Times breakdown of the ICE shooting:

You have always been, and continue to be, our support in times of hardship. During the coldest nights, when we needed help the most, you stood by us.❤️ Today, we reach out once again, asking you not to forget our family to pay the rent.💔 We still have £177 remaining, and time is running out.🥹😓

I would like to underscore this part: "People are in the streets in greater numbers than the first Trump term." Elite pundits and opinion are extremely resistant to this fact and it has trickled down to regular people. But it is demonstrably TRUE. Ask why they are so resistant? Who does it serve?

Demonizing specifically white women who act in solidarity with racial minorities isn’t new. Here’s a southern political cartoon depicting Harriet Beecher Stowe, published in 1853. Surrounded by devils, she‘s holding a book titled “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” Subtitle: “I Love the Blacks.”

When the national health and retirement plan for non-rich people is "Die Young," there's really no need to save money so...

So this is unbelievably vile. From someone I consider a very trusted source.

elected democrats who want their constituents to remain non-violent in their protests of these abuses must actually offer a path for ending the abuses non-violently. they currently are not as a party and it’s a major problem.

“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

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

The lady in this photo is autistic and ICE agents dragged her out of her car as she tried to go to the doctor.

“They chased him, he got home and when we closed the door they shot him.” MN orgs/electeds say👇🏽this is the family calling the police with ICE outside, after a man was shot in the leg with a pregnant woman & child inside Different than DHS’ shovel story: www.instagram.com/reel/DThEdD8...

Doing the Nazisim

ICE just confronted us in our car saying it’s our first & final warning. There’s nothing illegal about driving your car safely on Stinson, Lowry, or any street in our community. They are purposefully surging at school get out times terrorizing our families. Ice needs to stay away from our kids.

They have fucking assault rifles and we have whistles and they’re scared shitless, because they know we’d rather be righteous and dead than ever be them.

The complicated reality is there are 3 things happening simultaneously: -Trump preternaturally understands the ebb and flow of the media and does perform for it -His inner circle is in a mad dash to turn the US into a fascist ethnostate -Like all authoritarian regimes, they're grossly incompetent

The Hmong are here because they fought for the US in a war we lost.

Very much looks like Idaho is moving to significant cuts to home and community based serves due to federal Medicaid cuts. idahocapitalsun.com/2026/01/14/t...

99% chance this is what they mean

Just to be clear about what's happening w CBS News: Larry Ellison is acquiring a media empire to spread right-wing, billionaire-enabling, hypercapitalist propaganda. He purchased Paramount to get CBS. He's taking over US TikTok next week. He's attempting a hostile takeover of WBD to control CNN.

For over a decade I have tied my shoes one specific way: Ian's Secure Shoelace Knot. I learned it from Ian (aka Professor Shoelace) whose site is over two decades old. The knot has never failed me. I spoke with Ian about knots and the dangers of the modern internet. aftermath.site/ians-shoelac...

Neighbors standing guard over churches so that parents can have secret meetings about how to keep daycares safe. This is what's happening in the Twin Cities right now.

Reason everyone stopped hearing about the Proud Boys is they all got jobs at ICE

made some updates to the list. if you want to give to a gofundme, the ones in spanish are getting way less than other, and they are asking for much less

Van Hollen: We are here to say not one more dime for Donald Trump's ICE operations

Claudette Colvin was a magnificent person. More of us would know her name if we did not live in a culture and media environment that too often requires perfection from victims as a toll for legibility, for their humanity and the violation thereof to matter. To honor her memory, let's do better. 🖤

lotta Dems should be taking notes from Van Hollen on how to respond to the moment we're in

It is impossible to properly calculate the depth and breadth of the courage and sacrifice of those prepared to confront white supremacy and assert their right to full citizenship. We - and by that I mean ALL Americans - owe them a great debt. Rest in Peace & Power Claudette Colvin.

Why Minnesota? It's not merely the most horrific kind of ill-luck that delivered another caught on video state mandated murder. Minnesota represents a direct assault on the white nationalist narrative & thus claim to power. 🧵

I am calling for a complete and total boycott of the Mercator projection in all news stories about Greenland until every member of the American public has seen this

Rest In Power to a brave trailblazer

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .
