Good. Also, fuck the Department of Education for attempting to pull this bullshit in the first place, and fuck this whole racist, shitty administration. And fuck ICE, while I'm at it, because that's just an evergreen at this point.

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding? Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

Pressure to achieve at school at age 15 is linked to depressive symptoms and risk of self-harm, and the association appears to persist into adulthood, finds study led by Prof Gemma Lewis, UCL Psychiatry. www.ucl.ac.uk/news/2026/fe...

Well it's a relief to know that the entire modern education system isn't designed to pressure teenagers to achieve. ... Hold on, I'm receiving an update from my producer... ...Oh no.

Just sat through a day long training where the presenter consistently used deficit language about kids and disparaged liberal arts education. I wanted to support the overall message but it made it really difficult to stay on track.

Congratulations to Seattle and to everyone who didn't watch Kid Rock.

Students are better off with a mishmash of progressive grading practices than with consistent implementation of harmful traditional practices.

We can expect no honesty, no decency, and no humanity from this Presidential administration. It will be like this until the microsecond he leaves.

Fact , Trump has made more money this year as president than he has his entire life. And technically , he should not be making a dime. Other than his presidential salary.

It’s been 100+ years since the majority of US citizens were rural. Why do they get to define what a “real” American is or what “real” American values are?

Aside from the message, which I support, his control of his instrument is impressive

The fuck it was

No we don’t you worthless lump of campaign bribes, we want ICE abolished and every person who committed crimes, as well as those who allowed it to happen, prosecuted. Go fucking retire, you’ve done enough damage already.

100 percent you're going to see some right wing jerks complaining that Springsteen has gone woke because they never once actually listened to his lyrics before

It appears that this legend owns a little bookstore — and you can order books from him instead of Bezos. Link in next post.

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign. Gregory Bovino must also be fired. No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Here's one way to help: "Minnesota is under occupation by federal agents from ICE and CBP, and we need your support." 👇 www.standwithminnesota.com

Trump will not pull ICE out of Minnesota. That would be admitting he made a mistake, and God knows Trump has never made a mistake. Tom Emmer, tell Trump he's wrong . . . you can't can you. You will sell your state out to defend a madman.

Not exaggerating when I say that the collective action in Minnesota will be studied for generations if not centuries to come

I actually think one of the most American lessons you could learn in school is that your neighbors come from all races & religions, speak different languages, have families that may look different from yours, and that's what makes us great. I'd make Cultural Studies a requirement over Algebra II.

Call it woke indoctrination or whatever, who cares: the entire point of public education in a pluralistic multicultural democratic nation is to make sure we can live and work together without subjugating and killing each other. The alternative is what we're living through right now.

Honestly love the framing from Minneapolis because it's true: So many are saying, they're our *neighbors.* Why wouldn't we defend them? The difference between the Twin Cities and so much of this country is they don't have that asterisk next to "neighbor" that says "terms and conditions apply."

"According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history."

Ice is killing kids. RFK is killing kids Republicans in Congress are denying food and med aid are killing kids Trump lets his bffs rape our kids on Epstein Island and protects them. That’s killing me!

😫 #sigh

I was in Minneapolis for the first time a couple months ago. Ft. Snelling is one of the stops on the train into town from the airport. I saw the name and thought “what do I know that name from?” Googled it. “Ah. Right. The atrocities.”

Despite everything that keeps always happening, it still never ceases to amaze me how the right is happy to defend any sort of violent and abusive behaviour for the sake of free speech right up until the point someone says a naughty word.

I can't say this loudly enough: THEY ARE TRYING TO NORMALIZE THE KILLING OF CIVILIANS FOR PARTICIPATING IN FIRST AMENDMENT PROTECTED PROTEST ACTIVITIES.

Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down. This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

The icing on the cake is that it was a no-bid contract.

The shooter calls her a "fucking bitch" right after shooting her three times. He shot because he was pissed off, not because he reasonably believed he was in danger. Also, he is filming while handling his weapon at the same time?!? Was he even looking at where he was shooting?

Good morning.

Way too many songs titled Guillotine have nothing to do with eliminating the Bourgeoisie

Admin just canceled the lockdown drill scheduled for today in order to not cause unnecessary stress.

Just found this on the floor of my school. Sometimes we do things right. It’s too bad that it’s taken recent events to push my colleagues this far be I’ll happily support and welcome them to the cause.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

(checks the news after a day of writing) Well, fuck. (this is an evergreen post, alas)

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

Not a huge mayor Frey fan in general but this press conference!!!
