Whenever someone says “ICE isn’t the Gestapo!”, remember that Hitler’s movement used American Jim Crow policies, slave patrols, and Native American Removal as the base line. Correct, ICE isn’t just like the Gestapo, they’re like the Gestapo’s inspiration.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning. I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

Not only do we have reporting on the event, but we have footage that suggests criminal use of force. Anyone of right mind, regardless of the their feelings towards this, administration, should be enraged. ICE has murdered before, but now the whole world has seen it. apnews.com/article/just...

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink. Two Americas.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Bet this is what our ballots are going to look like soon.

"Israel Is Banning the 'Last Foreign Witnesses' to Its Genocide in Gaza" In a likely deadly move, the Israeli government told 37 foreign aid groups, including Doctors Without Borders, they could no longer operate in Palestine. Where is the outrage, asks Diana Buttu for Zeteo?

This is abysmal. Nobody should fear being present in public or online because of an evil machine such as this. Twitter officials need to be held legally accountable, the users who participate in this behavior need to be held legally accountable, and most importantly, we need legislation for this.

Unsurprising from the President who can’t stop glazing known imperialist former US president William McKinley.

Anything I wanna say about the US will get me knocks on my door. Evil ass country

EXTRAJUDICIAL ACTIONS

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands. Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame. Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump. Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

Congratulations to Mayor Mamdani. As a non-New Yorker, I know that although I could not vote for him, and he will not be *my* mayor, his winning will set a precedent. Democratic Socialism is our country’s only hope of ousting corruption and serving the people. #nyc #zohranmamdani #election

The murder of Jonathan Joss, details of which I saw last night, each moment described worse than the last, was truly gut wrenchingly horrific. This is where their "anti woke" rhetoric leads, and may it stop the train in its tracks or we, allied, stop it for them. Pure evil. Pure pointless evil.

Homeland Security has gone full fascism. This is why also we are seeing them show up with ICE. DHS raided @nadler.house.gov office and arrested one of the aides.

Just of four of today's headlines. Make no mistake: This is not, at its core, about illegal immigration or border enforcement. This is the federal government conducting a deliberate and nationwide campaign of white supremacist terror.

Always been told I work well in a pinch

"First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out, for I was not a communist." They'll start with those who they can get people to not care too much about. Next thing you know the MAGA Gestapo will be at YOUR door.

EVERYTHING IS TUBERCULOSIS is a #1 New York Times bestseller! THANK YOU to everyone who has read this little book and responded to it so generously. It's been a long time since a book about TB topped bestseller lists, and I'm so grateful to know more people are learning about this needless scourge.

Got editorial notes for a short story I wrote and apparently a word I thought was in common usage is recorded having been used first in 1611 and only extremely rarely since then, so, welcome to my brain I suppose
