“None of what I’m doing is enough. But all of it, I reassure myself, is better than nothing. The most heartening thing about this deeply disturbing moment is seeing how consistently and forcefully Minnesotans of all demographics have been pushing back.”

It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis
But locals are organizing to keep each other safe from ICE agents.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Posts may be a bit more sporadic from me today as my kids are home from school because my city is being brutalized by the federal government to the extent that it's unsafe for schools to be open

Not on socials much. But I guess today I feel like yelling into the void. It’s really hard. Both domestic and abroad. And what is happening in Gaza. It sits lodged like a stone in my throat every day. Volunteering. Giving. None of it feels like enough. No reflective conclusion. Just sad.

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's attorneys urgently ask Judge Farbiarz to order ICE to permit Khalil to hold his newborn son today "for the most elementary human reasons." ICE has so far denied the request, despite his wife and child having made the 1,500-mile trip.

Banning books is not about books. Banning books is about the erasure of stories. Banning books is about the erasure of identities. Erasure is the precursor to eliminationism. Silence is complicity. Resist this regime. Resist this regime of monstrous evildoers.

The framing from legacy media on the Ms Rachel stuff is insane. Nowhere do they say that these are baseless claims, or that what she said (every child's life is precious and worthy) is not "Hamas propaganda." If u didn't know the background to this story and saw this post, you'd believe their smear

Random tip: the plastic cases that Extra chewing gum comes in make an excellent caddy for mini zines. Just cut off the top, push a thumbtack through to attach to a community bulletin board, and stick your resistance mini zines inside.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody. She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care. This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

Dear CDC friends. Today was the most foolish of April Fool's days. We have not just lost jobs. With entire teams and offices being cut, we have lost vast amounts of institutional knowledge. Take the time you need to grieve. Then join your fired colleagues in the fight.

In addition to everything else that is wrong with this, why aren't these men wearing uniforms? They're dressed like they just came from the skateboard park and half seem to be concealing their faces. These are terror tactics, meant to inspire a penumbra of fear beyond those directly victimized.
