there are people going out in the freezing cold and literally putting their lives on the line in defense of their communities and the multicultural secular society they believe in. not interested in what some online wannabe dnc consultant type wants to tell me what is and isn't possible now

ICE are running around in the streets using facial recognition on random people and telling anyone filming them they're a domestic terrorist and Democrats solution is to equip every ICE agent with their very own body-worn surveillance camera

feeling very smug as a longtime Aranofsky hater

Libs of TikTok has spent the days following Alex Pretti's murder doxxing teachers, nurses, and school board members — trying to get ordinary people fired for supporting Pretti or opposing ICE www.mediamatters.org/libs-tiktok/...

The Senate has blocked a massive funding bill as critical talks continue to avoid a government shutdown this weekend. https://cnn.it/4rr7JaB

A lot of people in the immediate aftermath of that press conference kept trying to tell me that Biden was talking about the Gaza Health Ministry. Putting aside that the GHM has now been proven repeatedly to have been correct, the then-president himself *did not say that*. He said *Palestinians*.

The implicit argument is that *being Arab* is antisemitic

If you’ve been thinking to yourself “man, I really want to help people in Minneapolis, but I also some some cookies, AND I’d also like to help out trans, neurodiverse, and BIPOC youth“ boy oh boy do I have some good news for you! digitalcookie.girlscouts.org/scout/troop5...

also ICE is already very active in NYC (though not to the degree they are in MPLS)

i sincerely love the energy but I'll say I'm a bit tired of hearing how--in theory, just you wait--other places are gonna be more badass and confrontational than MPLS lol

"Why, in the wealthiest country in the history of the world, are class sizes so large — and resources so scarce — that teachers are forced to rely on AI instead of instructional assistants? Why aren’t we hiring more librarians... or reducing class sizes so teachers can tailor learning themselves?"

I can't stop thinking about this. Is *ANY* Democratic senator talking about conditioning their vote on measures that would actually free kidnapped people or even improve the conditions of those in concentration camps?

part of the reason their plan for rebuilding includes pushing all the rubble into the mediterranean is so that the missing bodies are never exhumed

71,000 dead and here in America our politicians and cops were siding with the murderous regime and expelling students from their universities. a stain that I hope future historians will contextualize for the evil it is.

Tomorrow we’ll be raising money for the Women’s Foundation of Minnesota with our friends in the Goo Crew! We’re gonna be playing Lethal Company, Peak, REPO, and a bunch of other fun games all day - drop by to watch and help out!

Brits: you are nowhere near frightened enough of what's happening in the US right now and what UK politicians are promising with the help of Palantir and friends. From @ markmcposts on IG.

ICE & CBP have been out kidnapping people in Los Angeles every day since June. The media has moved on and acts like this isn’t still happening. The crises are ongoing. Solidarity with the people fighting back in Minneapolis and everywhere.

Real World: Robert’s Rules

Read the highlighted sentence a few times, jfc From @lukeferrell.bsky.social's "THE MEANS-TESTING INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX" lpeproject.org/blog/the-mea...

he’s chilling

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota. people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

[Stares in “Screams Without Words”]

getting ads for a race science app on Instagram

I remember during Ilhan Omar's first month in Congress she faced down warmonger Elliot Abrams in a congressional hearing and demolished him for supporting death squads. Now her first reaction to being sprayed with a mystery substance is to march at the guy with a raised fist. She is brave as hell.

You fucking morons

say what you will about Khrushchev, buy it would be nice to see a democrat bang their shoe on the table and say “history is on our side. We will bury you”

this is the most great barrington thing I’ve ever seen

Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

Friends, I recommend you ALL get on the phones and or send emails first thing tomorrow telling @democrats.senate.gov NO FUNDING FOR ICE. NONE. They are, per Chris Coons, planning to negotiate body cameras. This willl not change the violence, the invasions of our cities.

Reminder: - Nothing being reported on ICE withdrawing - By govt’s own admission, 2,000 ICE invaders here, a still-astounding number - Unclear how many CPB agents will be removed - Tom Homan, the new Bovino, was the force behind ICE’s family separation policy, a bribe-taker, and a monster

curious now about if anyone sincerely holds this belief

god this is so embarrassing

Looks like she packed a bag lunch, smart

With the opening of the Rafah border crossing, we are likely to finally see international reporters in Gaza. Israel prevented foreign journalists from entering the Strip for two years and four months, and the IDF killed more than 200 local reporters during that period.

Hey @womensmarch.com: your ads fundraising off what's happening in MN keep popping up in my FB feed. You say contributions "will go directly toward local organizers, legal defense funds, and critical resources on the ground" but the link goes to a generic "support our organizing work" ActBlue page.

LMAO

This is from the NYT masthead editorial about the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. The highlighted line invalidates not just the editorial, but the very idea of newspaper editorials crafted by the consensus of a board. Better to publish nothing at all than to publish a line like this.

Please call Hochul, thank her for these words, and tell her to back them up with ACTION by supporting and signing New York 4 All, a bill that would prevent local and state agencies from collaborating with ICE. Call her at 518-474-8390 today!

If you'd like to support us, we have a GFM that covers shipping (and we use overflow cash to drop ship supplies, know your rights signs, and ICE NOT WELCOME signs to cities in need) and we have our filament wishlists for printers! I do my best to keep the more pressing lists at the top! 💓

Good morning from the whistle witch! As of last check, we've shipped 121,880 free whistles this month. The Whistle Avengers are picking their superhero names & meeting the demands of our increasing requests! If you need whistles, hit the email addy at the top of our linktree! linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border. Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE). Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

My god. Statement from AFGE: Alex was a member. His killer may have been as well.

Children screaming and crying can be heard as a possible uprising is underway at the ICE Children's Concentration Camp in Dilley, TX (1/24/26).

The point is not "told you so" but to recognize how your reactions are shaped by racial narratives and normalization, and you can take this opportunity to overcome and denaturalize that hardness and cruelty within yourself, to deconstruct the whiteness that makes you defend the indefensible

The pain and the outrage is correct and just and I'm glad everyone can see and understand it here, and this is also already what BLM was, if you argued for training, police reform or body cams instead of abolition this is what you sounded like, this is why people were so mad at you

if Jacob Frey wants ICE the fuck out of his city yet wants ICE to continue to exist, perhaps he can provide a list of cities where their actions would be appropriate?

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.
