This is one of the most irresponsible things I've seen someone in the trans community do. Absolutely disgusting that Tara Knight faked claims about getting a letter from the FBI and then forged a letter with AI when journalists tried to verify. theneedlenews.com/alleged-fbi-...

damn what is wrong with me, i am having the hardest time concentrating on work, i lament as i compulsively refresh live feeds of unspeakable horrors

Trying to protect everything from everyone all the time is a good way to drive yourself crazy. This is why we threat model. Here is EFF's Surveillance Self Defense guide to putting together your security plan, also known as threat modeling: ssd.eff.org/module/your-...

Right-wing influencer Jake Lang is stuck in a window recess against Minneapolis City Hall. He’s soaked with freezing water after counterprotesters hurled water balloons at him. bit.ly/4baGhJn

that’s right

The first words out of our next President must be: “Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored [….] As He died to make us holy, let us die to make men free,” On Day 1 of the ICE tribunals.

No. The problem has been very specifically one thing: if they move in any kind of detectable force, they pick up a tail within minutes, and then it often grows and grows until you have a dozen cars following two ICE SUVs, making so much noise that the entire neighborhood knows they’re there.

This makes me feel more patriotic than the national anthem ever could

We can definitely make this the most blocked account here

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

The best videos of ICE agents eating shit in the brutal Minneapolis winter

yeah i'll vote for gavin newsom under extreme circumstances. like say we're on a life raft and need to decide who to eat first. or our plane crashes in the andes and we're figuring out who to barbecue for dinner. or if we're wagon-bound and stranded in a frozen pass over the sierra nevada mountains,

Fraud is a serious crime that merits laying siege to an entire city and collectively punishing every immigrant from Somalia. It's also a crime for which you can be pardoned and relieved of compensating your victims, so long as some of the money you stole finds its way to the president.

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 group of Home Depot investors is asking the company to review its partnership with surveillance firm Flock Safety and state how its data is used and shared with law enforcement…”

please put me first on the "people who defended their neighbors" list. bold and underline it while you're at it

“Oughtposting vs isposting” is immediately load bearing for me

It's been a chaotic time to be an artist. Now that Canada has a trade agreement with China, it's only a matter of time before Trump ends free trade. If you're American and been eyeing a piece, now's probably the time. I know times are tough, but if you could help with a share, it'd mean so much.

In fact most if not all cheerleading teams are notionally co-ed; Title IX has long included a "right to try out" for sports with no sex segregated equivalent such as football and cheer. Several football players at my own high school spent winter season on the cheer squad and that was 25 years ago.

I noticed that at the end of last year that I was no longer seeing Yukon Gold taters, so today I went and looked for some to make this dish. No dice. Found a bunch of different yellow taters and these are good, but not the same. Turns out, they’re going away. 🍽️🍜 www.seriouseats.com/yukon-gold-p...

Fun fact! We could be using the $75 billion allocated for ICE on literally anything else! Like essential services that help people exist! It’s almost as if these issues + our priorities have a lot of overlap! Also people definitely can’t afford things if they get shot in the face!

Twin Cities Leather (and adult toy store Smitten Kitten) have stopped regular operations to become a staging and delivery space for food and supply donations- they are requesting monetary donations to keep them afloat without any income www.paypal.com/paypalme/kpa...

Posts from Minneapolis residents read like they'll be read in voiceover in a Ken Burns-like doc one day

I was thinking about that 1980s James Bond movie where everybody's trying to get their hands on a Fabergé egg for some reason And then I realized: It's an Egg McGuffin.

The amount of restraint the people of Minneapolis have shown is INCREDIBLE. Fucking INCREDIBLE. We don't need our leaders lecturing us like children. ICE is kidnapping and beating and MURDERING us and we're out here with fucking whistles and phones and an occasional snowball.

Here are the communities who will be impacted by this repression. Expect ICE / CBP raids to ramp up over the next 2 months. Time to get ready. Source 1: zipatlas.com/us/city-comp... Source 2: data.ydr.com/refugee/all/...

Murdering a wife and mother. Abducting a baby and giving it a bruise on the cheek. Flashbanging a car full of kids, including a 6 month old. They better fucking hope we only stop at “Abolish ICE”

As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free

The fact that thousands of Minnesotans continue to show up day after day and night after night to protect their communities knowing ICE agents are a hair's breadth away from murdering them is a fucking testament to their bravery, empathy, and resolve. America has not earned it, but there they are.

every elected with an ounce of ambition should see this as the opportunity of a life time if they are willing to break the mealymouthed consensus of mediocre substackers and instead listen to the polls heralding incandescent rage

The green gas looks like this. bsky.app/profile/notu...

the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

As a small woman I think it’s pathetic to feel the need to carry a gun everywhere to feel safe. If I don’t feel the need how tf do these men that think they’re so big and tough.

One of the main things I appreciate about LA is that going anywhere, at any time, in any way, is a horrifying ordeal

My husband was on the 2 train and a guy started braying about how Renee Good deserved to die and her "lesbian lover" did too. My husband got pissed and said, "You're absolutely disgusting." "Fuck you!" the guy said. "Fuck YOU!" my husband said. The guy left. See? We just need to talk to each other.

Horrible violence against a protester in California: www.latimes.com/california/s...

don't write songs about it or make tv shows about how bad they feel about their actions or or movies or comics or music videos about it. they are fools. they are an embarrassment to humankind. they are the mcdonalds happy toy version of nazis. our job is to make sure they know it

we don't have very much but we can strip anybody who works for ICE of any social niceties whatsoever. you find out somebody is with them? they don't get to be ANYTHING to you anymore. and tell them WHY. it SUCKS to be ostracized and stigmatized. please use it on somebody who's earned it for once

Hey @hillarymonahan.bsky.social and @mostlybree.kitrocha.com can you signal boost the homie’s shop? Single mom making some excellent abolish ICE bracelets!

we should want to make it undeniable that there is no choice but to end ICE, prosecute its officers for lawbreaking, and fundamentally rethink immigration enforcement.

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?” 1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore. 2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions. 3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

These peaceful observers I spoke to had ICE show up at their homes in what they see as attempts at intimidation. ICE has somehow been accessing Minnesotans' private data in likely violation of state law, according to privacy advocates. share.google/J00lpWzPzOu2...

Get in loser, we're going to put our bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, to make it stop
