Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

I just drove past an abandoned car, with the doors open. (wrong side of highway, others had already stopped.) This is Minnesota. No one for any reason intentionally leaves their car on the side of the road w/the doors open in January Please understand: nothing has changed here. Please tell people

“There’s no single answer that will solve all our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers—at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.” ― Octavia E. Butler, A Few Rules for Predicting the Future: An Essay

AIDE: "Sir, they are about to release more Epstein Files." TRUMP: "Go find me a black guy to arrest."

News cycles are being manipulated to make people think a problem has been solved when it hasn’t. Bovino removed didn’t change anything but people have been tricked into thinking it did, so they move on. Same as it was. Know this. The situation in MN is as bad as it’s always been. Don’t forget them.

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

my grandmother, an Auschwitz survivor, was Anne Frank’s neighbor in Amsterdam, and Oma thinks this comparison is perfectly apt

Watching commenters on social media realizing in real time that content creators are real people with their own thoughts and opinions and not just performing seals that owe the people “no politics” parasocial relationships is wild.

And I think about Eric Garner’s last words so often, I have this beautiful poem by Ross Gay memorised:

Also remember to drip your faucets to keep your pipes from freezing!

“The truth is that we are all in this together. In public health, there is no ‘them’, there is only “us”. — Dr. William H. Foege

strange to me that a lot of people on this website simultaneously agree that the administration is run by incompetents who struggle to carry out their agenda without major political blowback AND that they’ll pull off a complex and sophisticated effort to rig elections and prevent defeat in November

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

This is the only correct response.

"History will not look kindly upon______" Damn history ... i don't look kindly upon it... we aint gotta wait

ChongLy Scott "Saly" Thao's family has started a GoFundMe for him:

Mr. Rogers said "look for the helpers," we all know this, but I would push that further - ALMOST EVERYONE wants to be a helper. People with training and/or proximity show up, and people sitting at home feel helpless wondering what they can do. In our experience, most people just need to know how.

If some Dems are afraid of the "abolish ICE" slogan but generally agree with the principle, which seems to be the case, they should come up with something better than "reform ICE." Obviously a totally new plan for immigration enforcement is needed. Not just some reforms

This is the bare minimum we want from our elected officials.

Black folks and immigrants have long lived in a "perogative state" when it comes to law enforcement, and maybe pundits at the largest national outlets should recognize that their past support for punitive policing and immigration enforcement laid the groundwork for the current moment.

Apple Watch “be” like “Low sleep score” Change the president… i wasn’t having these problems with Sleepy Joe

Carrying a passport to show ICE is a great way to ensure you're paying for a replacement passport shortly.

I totally understand that fear drives the urge to comply, but we can’t “comply” our way out of this.

My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

This entire thread 🧵 for anyone struggling with midterms doomerism.

Mutual Aid Request I hardly have the appetite for this so soon after needing help with rent, but I have a much smaller request that helps with multiple things. Asking for $270. CC bills, Uber to the copy place for documents, groceries, etc. 💕💸 V: Annaleigh-Watts CA: $annaleighmaria PP: AnaleeWatts

I was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota. If you have places for me to add, please DM me.

a lot of people think the cops should be allowed to shoot you dead if you disrespect them. No word on what you should be allowed to do when the cops disrespect you.

Update 11.1 - $10 came in, thank you A! As of rn if I went to get a money order to make a rent payment, it would be $110...so I may wait till Monday to get the next money order. It would be an enormous relief if I could pay the remaining $620 Monday bc I'm in poor health & ICE is lurking nearby. 💕💸

Mutual Aid Request Hi everybody, just reminding everyone I still owe $620 to my landlord for rent. I received a 3 day notice on Wednesday. Am also getting phone calls now about small past due credit card bills. Please help me clear this! 💕💸 V: Annaleigh-Watts CA: $annaleighmaria PP: AnaleeWatts

Reposting this to tell everyone I just raised $5 today and I'm stuck at $174/$500. Rent should have been paid today. This is getting worse, please help me. On top of things I don't feel very good right now and can't see myself reposting this a lot tonight because of the pain. 💕💸

Hey all, if you have a little extra consider helping this family out.
