NEW: Indigenous activists erected multiple tipis at Coldwater Spring outside Fort Snelling and near the Whipple Federal Building -- headquarters of ICE's Operation Metro Surge -- establishing an occupation demanding 'land back' in the form of “returning Fort Snelling” to the Dakota people. [Video]

Important thread about what is happening to immigrants after they are snatched off the streets. We have to face this and take action, we cannot allow this to continue.

I will say, there is something in how this reactionary political movement nationalizes southern plantation cultural production to enact their fascist plan to break nation-states into corporately controlled economic zones. Talk about the afterlives of slavery. Whew.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Boosting! ICE just abandons the people they've illegally kidnapped sometimes thousands of miles from home. Help them get home.

Babies too young to be vaccinated. This is exactly what happens when you imprison people while there is an active, highly contagious (& preventable) outbreak on the rise. Is there a way to pressure them to at least release the babies and their families &/or to get folks who are unvaccinated vaxed?

Feb. 1, 1960, 4 NC A&T students sat-in at the “whites only” counter at Woolworths in Greensboro. Their defiance ignited a movement led to the birth of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Young people fuel movements. It is inspiring to see that today they still do. #BlackHistoryMonth

heartbreaking cruelty

We need to be more creative in our thinking and in our actions. I've seen posts on FB lamenting the fact that the Feds are tearing down exhibits etc... But this is not the final word. It's an opportunity to do other things to spread the word and educate people.

We love you, Minneapolis!

I ask my clients what they have to lose? At this point, it’s nothing. Go ahead and follow that dream; the worst that happens is it ends terribly and you have to survive it. This is America; we’re barely surviving anyway. You might find joy. Joy is worth everything.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

In solidarity with all those standing up for our communities against the brutality of immigrant detention and ICE occupation, we're offering free ebooks of three crucial books about migrant justice and border abolition. We’ve also added a list of additional recommended reading:

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

Unions were out. Minnesotans were out. Immigrants were out. Neighbors were out. Rapid responders were out. People who were scared were out. Even kids were out. And it's still going! My report from Minnesota: inthesetimes.com/article/minn...

genuinely stunning image

In reality Black American and intersectional thinkers continued to use liberalism's foundations to expand the structure of rights those foundations supported. And as they gained cultural traction, social salience and political purchase, white liberals moved the goalposts of "true" liberalism.

This is arguably a blueprint for how Black people should engage with the current moment if you ask me. We should allow our survival to inspire community, art, and intellectual thought that expands what opportunity is for us even amidst the chaos. #blacksky

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

People, especially vulnerable children and babies, are still dying during the ceasefire. Please don't forget about Palestine, they still need us.

“…the visual evidence shows no indication that the agent who fired the shots, Jonathan Ross, had been run over.”

"Officers threw flash bangs and tear gas in my car. I got six kids in the car" "His wife, Destiny Jackson, told FOX 9 their 6-month-old infant stopped breathing and lost consciousness. She then performed CPR on her baby."

NEWS: A federal judge found that ICE had repeatedly retaliated against peaceful protesters in unconstitutional ways — and barred agents involved in Minnesota's "Operation Metro Surge" from using similar tactics and force. w/ @joshgerstein @hassankanu www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Best video analysis yet of Renee Good's slaying. #giftlink www.nytimes.com/2026/01/15/v...

Ms. Cohen is getting to the heart of the matter.

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

Today I met with our Just Recovery and Healing Collaborative, then did food distro for a couple of hours w/ Bounty & Soul. Saw a bunch of folks I know and got hugs from a couple kids I had in summer camp last summer. And I can honestly say, if it weren't for the people I know doing good work (1/3)

Don't save America she don't wanna be saved. Let's start fresh, something not founded on genocide & slaveholding that expands imperially by ravaging the globe!

youtu.be/l1CYn-7Gvjg?... This one goes out to all the MAHA mf'ers in my former life who voted for Trump because of RFK, and the ones who voted for Trump for whatever dumbass reasons they had. And the ones who made apologies and excuses for the ones who did it. Yeah y'all did this shit. OWN IT

Alaa's husband is a prisoner of the occupation & she's raising their family alone & homeless in Gaza if you can help.

Mitqal is in touch with me a lot needing help, he will appreciate if you can share & donate!

Sak passe! Happy Independence Day to the Haitian homies & thank you for lighting the way to Black liberation! 🇭🇹

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

i do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

I've watched this movie at least once a year for at least six years--it's my oldest child's favorite movie that we all watch together every year on their birthday (Wolf Children).

ok little buddy, I know how you feel. 2025 has been a rough one

Oh you wanted that new new Chantal James novella for the season without supporting an evil corporation? Here, get from a Black bookstore in New Orleans! bookshop.org/p/books/fes-...

Members of POP are among 30 people arrested yesterday blockading the Krome ICE detention facility in Florida standing up to Trump’s deportation machine. No human being is illegal. It’s time to stand up and shut it down.

I am seeking useful resources that folks have found to: 1. share with people who are seeking to keep folks engaged in activism/organizing work. Resources that may also help to combat burnout. 2. help people who are trying to get engaged to find their people.

Read this thread!

“There’re about a thousand of us.”

“Tell your children who the cowards were.”

All year long, Christophe Waggoner scours Texas thrift stores for children’s Halloween costumes. His hard work is worth it in the fall when he hosts an event in which anyone can pick out a costume — for free.

an incredible but heartbreaking response to racism:
