No fucking shit

Just posted an episode on atrocities conducted by both sides during the Irish Civil War on my patreon. Episode will be released to wider public on Feb 25. www.patreon.com/posts/episod...?

"In Chicago, of 92 people arrested for assaulting or impeding officers last fall, 74 cases have resulted in no charges; in 13 cases, charges were filed and dismissed; and five charged cases were still pending. . . there have been no convictions. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The most disturbing part is knowing ICE left a little girl alone and didn’t care. Annabella was six years old when her dad was detained by ICE while he was picking up their food order. She stayed inside, waiting. He never returned to her that day. 1/2

The floor plan for the planned ICE concentration camp in Social Circle, Georgia:

Jesse Jackson was an early and ardent supporter of gay rights. In fact, on July 17, 1984 at the DNC in San Fransisco, the first speech EVER at a national political convention calling for gay rights was delivered by none other than Rev. Jackson himself.

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

ICE “left” Chicago in November, but they’ve disappeared three people from my community in two days this week. Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.

My vet who is a saint and a goddess basically let me give her an IOU since I’ll be getting paid next week and because my dog was cut up so badly just when I lose faith in humanity someone does something really nice for me and makes me cry

It feels like every month I’m asking for help but one of my dogs got into a fight with another dog and tore up her ear and I need help paying the vet bill. Can you please donate and/or share? ko-fi.com/theferdarian...

One of the Minnesotans who stood up was Gust Johnson, a Vietnam war vet and nurse He went to scene after Alex Pretti was killed Agents repeatedly sprayed him in face They tackled him (knocking out hearing aid and cutting arm) They shackled him. They held him ten hours. They kept his phone.

“A modern-day concentration camp” Seamus Culleton, an Irishman still detained by Trump’s ICE goons for 5 MONTHS (making private prisons rich), here LEGALLY for two decades, married to a citizen— describes horrific conditions: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

It’s not a withdrawal until ICE is abolished. I have neighbors everywhere.

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN. No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated. Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here? No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

NEW: This was the last essay I was supposed to publish at the Washington Post. But they fired me. I'm publishing it anyway-- about my family's connection to a sword the British looted from Ghana in 1874. If youve ever wondered why I love swords, here's why. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

minnesota is still being terrorized by ICE. it hasn’t stopped and from local reports has gotten way worse. it isn’t making major headlines anymore and we know why. ABOLISH ICE !!!

Protect Rep Ro Khanna, please!

HOW THE FUCK DID THIS PASS?!!!!

I forgot I published a new episode today but I did! In today’s ep I discuss the guerilla warfare stage of the Irish Civil war, relying heavily on Gemma Clark’s book Everyday Violence in the Irish Civil War which everyone should read #irishhistory podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

Please don’t forget about us and our neighbors! standwithminnesota.com

Just watched Bad Bunny’s halftime show and it was breathtaking. It was an artistic masterpiece that deserves to be preserved for all time. Absolutely blown away.

#BadBunny's performers continued to dance and party outside the stadium after the #SuperBowl #HalftimeShow

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

I think for a lot of survivors of abuse, these are immensely activating times. I know for myself, I have trouble knowing whether to engage or disengage from soaking in the stream of horrific news.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

There are lots of important books about concentration camps; two that I have used in my own teaching are "KL" by Nikolaus Wachsmann and "Illness and Inhumanity in Stalin’s Gulag" by Golfo Alexopoulos.

Trust me, the woman of academia are not at all surprised by the number of academic men orbiting Epstein.

I stand with County Executive Calvin Ball as he signs emergency legislation today prohibiting privately owned buildings from being used as ICE detention centers. Howard County chose dignity, accountability, and its people. Tune into our event now: bit.ly/4a2VtHw

May/may not have cried watching this again just now. "These wonderful patriots have defeated a concentration camp." I believe that we will win.

TNN reporter Mira Lazine (@thefreeradical.org) found a community in Minneapolis. Now, that community is under attack by a fascist regime — and fighting back. Here’s her look of the realities on the ground, where exhaustion and terror exist alongside defiance and hope:

The banality of evil is shocking. An ex-Big Lots warehouse for cheap consumer junk is bought by ICE to ship as many as 7,500 handcuffed human beings, as the Trump regime builds a U.S. gulag archipelago The unthinkable comes to Pa. coal country. My special report www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

Advance notice for DHS, ICE, and CBP: There is no way in hell I will obey commands from an armed man wearing the same camo fatigues, body armor, and skull mask uniform worn by members of the Neo-Nazi group that tried to kill me. Go ahead, call me any criminal category you like; that’s fantastic.

I need people to understand that yes we need all of the Epstein files released AND we need to prosecute every motherfucker who used Epstein‘s services went to his island and raped, tortured murdered kids. If people aren’t prosecuted, this is just a demented circle jerk at the expense of the victims.

This is another effort that has taken a HUGE amount of local activism, led by community folks who care. It CAN be done. Get involved where you live and push back. www.elpasotimes.com/story/news/i...

Here's another #transcrowdfund: Hailey Kaas is a brilliant writer, translator, educator and activist in Brazil, and one of my fav humans. She founded Brazil's first transfeminism website/collective. Hailey's mom has cancer and she's had to quit working to take care of her: ko-fi.com/haileykaas

Minneapolis, MN (Feb 4, 2026) — Door-to-door ICE operations have intensified across the city. Masked goons, heavily armed with long guns.

Surviving, and trying to keep the cell phone on! Getting paid in probably a week or so but that’ll be a little late ko-fi.com/weredawgz

that stage of society when school children share the bond of having endured the camps together

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

If Democrats are sincerely concerned about the Trump / MAGA threat to election security, they need loudly, publicly, and relentlessly demand international election monitors. 1/4 #Tulsi #Atlanta #elections #Trump #democracy #electionintegrity #fascism #FBIraid #FultonCounty

Marimar Martinez talks about being shot by CBP: “My arms, legs, and chest were all wrapped in bandages. I had 7 bullet holes in my body. I remember the agents rushing the nurses to finish up so they could take me with them.”

Marimar Martinez, shot 5 times by Border Patrol in Chicago, speaks out after Renee Good, Alex Pretti deaths 'I am their voice' NEW w/ @adrianacardmag.bsky.social: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Just posted a new episode on my patreon, in case anyone is interested in the guerrilla phase of the Irish Civil War www.patreon.com/posts/early-...

The recent actions of the Border Patrol are not new and date back to its 1924 founding when the Ku Klux Klan was active.trib.al/9quOhXC

Whoa. Dems just flipped a Texas state senate seat in a district that Trump carried by 17 points. Not only that, but the win was decisive, making this an enormous swing. Plus, Republicans went all in to try to save the seat, to no avail.
