ilhan’s security are total pros and i’m cheering em on here, i once rode in bearded guy’s truck in between stops on a press event with her last year because i don’t drive lmao

That’s right

a reporter asked “is mutual aid a form of resistance?” and i felt my body pulled into of a room of movement elders who have made this seem like a question i don’t have to think about to respond of course of course mutual aid is an expression of love love is an act of resistance

ProPublica has identified at least 15 major disasters since 2016 in which officials in the most-harmed communities failed to use a federal system to send emergency alerts to residents — or waited until it was too late. (Published Aug. 2025)

Minneapolis has seen a stunning 1,646% spike in calls from families who can't pay rent because they're afraid to leave their homes to work. This is state violence manufacturing housing precarity in real time. People should not be facing eviction when their city is under occupation.

I have been helping with a high school history class and they were learning about the civil rights movement last week. My friend Marione was a member of the Student-Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and volunteered her time answering questions students had written. Please listen and share.

My gosh. Alex Pretti was notifying neighbors that Trump and Vance's agents were chasing a family. A mob of agents then tackled him and broke his rib. He thought he was going to die. Then the very next week, he came back out to support his neighbors. And a mob of agents killed him.

Folks we don’t need to choose. Bovino is literally walking around dressing himself like a Nazi, of course we should look to *his* inspiration for what the fuck he is up to. Is it his only inspiration? No. It’s a both/and situation.

Bovino’s retirement needs to be a cage. His command environment yielded Renee Good’s death, Alex Pretti’s death & Julio Sosa-Celis’ shooting. Failure to prosecute Bovino & everyone else materially responsible for these atrocities will be understood by ICE, CBP, etc as a green light for the next ones

I'll repeat my ask to Democratic Senators here: don't vote for the DHS funding bill, yes. AND ALSO do not vote for another single thing in the United States Senate until the invasion and occupation of Minnesota ends. Don't vote to name a post office, dedicate a road, or even a procedural motion

Everyone is being dazzled by which opportunistic privilege baby is “changing sides” Instead of asking how do we make sure this NEVER EVER HAPPENS again That man shouldn’t be dead Renee Good shouldn’t be dead the now 9 people in 2026 alone 6 in ICE custody SHOULD NOT BE DEAD

The US Holocaust Museum being more outraged by Tim Walz saying that, like Anne Frank, children today are in hiding from armed agents of the state, than they are about the fact that children are in hiding from armed agents of the state, is why Holocaust remembrance culture is in crisis.

quotes & replies are disabled, but this has hundreds of reposts and it is just not true. it's so sloppy it doesn't even have the right wrong information. the CURRENT governor of mississippi is tate reeves. she's thinking of the last governor, phil bryant, who is also not carolyn bryant's nephew.

i know i’m not saying anything most of you don’t know, but for sake of clarity: bovino being transferred out of minneapolis is not a victory, it’s a start the white house panicking and reversing their narrative is not a victory, it’s a start take 10 seconds to celebrate & let’s get back to work

links below you know what to do

"ICE OUT" on Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis, as seen from my flight leaving MSP airport

“We are starting to build a huge ICE OUT sign on Lake Nokomis [in Mpls.] 100 foot letters for MSP flights to see. By day snow letters, by night we’ll light w/ candles in white paper bags Send this widely. Tonight will get it outlined. Tomorrow night we’ll light it up and keep it going all week.“

Looking forward to the day when we win hard enough to not need articles like “what are the paramilitaries spraying at you?: a helpful guide”

I've spent my day tracking down Canadian companies that have direct or indirect contracts supporting ICE operations. So far, I've found NINE. I've reached out to all of them. I plan to publish my video on this tomorrow, detailing the companies, contract amounts and purposes.

Dear neighbor, There’s a ton of ICE activity today in South Minneapolis and across Phillips today. Please stay on alert and be careful. We need folks to observe. Please continue to show up and when you do please bring a pair for safety. Jason Chavez 1/

Underestimating the logistical genius of middle aged PTA moms is akin to invading Minnesota in January

coz often people invoke me and my book in online scraps about "where were you when..." and to chastize those newly organizing: I'm not interested in whataboutism & disparaging ppl. As an organizer, I appreciate ppl are joining, and I hope my work is of service. Stay in the struggle & keep building.

There is no "immigration problem" There is no migrant problem There is no problem with illegals There is no border crisis Only a problem of the border and the machinery of death that upholds it.

My friend who lives in Minneapolis posted this touching remembrance of Alex Pretti, who was her mom's nurse. www.facebook.com/668193731/po...

“We dream of a world free of these carceral systems, borders, and the empires that enforce them. Abolition is a proposal for ushering in this new world. It is our map, our hammer, and our paintbrush.” dionotes.substack.com/p/monarchs-a...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

From a FB post about Alex Pretti:

Damn straight, KAT

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.

Secretary Noem offered assistance to New York ahead of the impending snowstorm. I shared that the fastest way to help is for ICE to back off so people feel safe accessing warming centers, shelters, hospitals, and houses of worship.

Reupping to not only remind folks to call Walz re: #EvictionMoratorium, but to demand he NOT turn over voter rolls! (Phone number in thread; call today or after 5 if you're phone shy) 👇🏻

There are about 100 protesters outside Schumer’s building in the middle of the blizzard urging him to whip Dem votes against any more ICE/CBP funding.

Cowards. They want business as usual which -by the hour- fewer and fewer Minnesotans will put up with. ALL law enforcement is based in protecting commerce over community - especially white-run wealth.

Four of the eight Democrats who voted for DHS funding have since condemned the killing of Alex Pretti

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

The second killing by ICE of a civilian in Minnesota is terribly upsetting. And the subsequent DARVOing by the government is predictable and horrifying. Our research indicates that educating people about DARVO reduces its power to manipulate. Here I explain: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eea...

If you feel like paying respects be aware that 26th and Nicollet is awash in cops, undercover feds, out of town streamers, right wing agitators and act accordingly.

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

The library even has a digital collection of oral histories celebrating 20 years of Eat Street if you want to dig into that: The Eat Street Oral History Project can be found in this collection archives.hclib.org/repositories...

we're working closely with a bunch of folks as the end of the month approaches and rent is coming due we're gonna continue raising aid, venmo donations especially help us get funds to folks quickly, but i'm gonna start looking into setting up a chuffed page too

A federal judge effectively ordered the U.S. government not to cover up evidence that it illegally executed a civilian, at the request of local prosecutors seeking to investigate federal agents for murder. Don’t want to overstate things but it feels reminiscent of the run-up to the Civil War.

Some people say not to call them Nazis because there are antecedents in our own history, while others are over-reliant on outside examples. But it's important to acknowledge the mingling of our own trends and history with global fascist legacies and movements because that's our reality.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

Reminder that the Democratic response to the Floyd murder was significantly larger police budgets nation wide and even more military equipment. Every Democratic leader of the last decade has failed catastrophically and must be removed from power for that party to have any hope of truly resisting.

God. I flipped off so many of these in 2020 & 2021 while biking...

They killed a parent/poet involved in their child’s school, They killed A nurse and researcher standing up for others attacked by ICE. I worry they will kill a teacher soon, As so many are involved in protecting our students and their families.

How do Democrats frame their arguments? For this piece, we interviewed a man who covered up a murder.

The guy that runs the Reddit where people post about patting their cat on the butt like bongos has put his foot down

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.
