The BWCA is a gorgeous and important natural area, visited by many people for recreation. Copper sulfide mining is always horrifically polluting. Continue looking for ways to prevent this tragedy from moving forward. This is not the end.

April 2: guards cut all phone access in the housing units without warning. When detainees protested, CRS officers allegedly punched a man, threw another to the ground, kicked him in the head, and pinned him by the neck. A third detainee's wrist was broken. The entire cage was pepper-sprayed.

Brutal.

Billionaires shouldn't exist. This woman, and everyone else, should have access to food. This is awful.

In 1938, the German Reich invalidated all German Jewish passports. They must surrender them, after which their ID will mark them as a Jew. In 2026, the state of Kansas invalidated all correct trans drivers licenses. They must surrender them, after which their ID will mark them as trans.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Hoping Dems add kids and their caretakers out of concentration camps to demands in DHS funding fight. Not only moral also strategic: keep kids in public eye, force Reps to visibly defend this, claim moral hi ground for their position.

Happy 3rd Birthday to the version of this that went semi-viral at the other place. “CDC update: “Emerging evidence suggests that…SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can have lasting effects on nearly every organ & organ system of the body weeks, months, & potentially years after infection…”

Voters: What we want is leaders who actually give a shit about working people and prove it by clawing back the wealth we created that billionaires stole. Newsom: Got it. Don't tax wealth, do trash trans people!

Tina @smith.senate.gov, "said in a statement that Republicans are 'using an unprecedented, sneaky maneuver that would open the door to reversing protections across all our public lands.'” Tell your senators NO! mining in the #BWCA! #SaveTheBWCA #StopTwinMetals www.startribune.com/congress-mig...

Trump admin is exploiting a loophole to hand 225,000 acres near the BWCA to a Chilean mining company. House passed H.J. Res. 140 last week 214-208. Senate votes next—simple majority wins. (202) 224-3121 — Call your senators TODAY. Vote NO on H.J. Res. 140. Can't call? Fill out the form in our bio.

#uglydogs especially. This goes to the Senate for a vote this week. The BWCA is a precious wilderness. Minnesotans and the visitors who come from all over the world to spend time here deserve to have this resource protected. Please call your reps! www.savetheboundarywaters.org/action-center

Today marks the third anniversary of the 20-year mining ban, which is under threat in Congress. ⚠️ Also, the Chilean mining giant Antofagasta was just fined about $775,000 for failing to comply with regulations in Chile. Call your senators now: www.savetheboundarywaters.org/anniversary-...

This very sick 2 month old baby has now been deported with his 16 month old sister and parents, with very little money. Completely inhumane. This needs to stop. Abolish and prosecute.

UPDATE: A whistleblower's allegations of abuse at the Baltimore ICE facility have sparked a sustained protest movement outside the Fallon Federal Building. This week, a group of concerned community members are organizing strategically-timed weekday pickets. open.substack.com/pub/projects...

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

🚨🚨Call now. Senate vote next week on opening the Boundary Waters in Minnesota to copper mining. @swingleft.bsky.social @altreclamation.altgov.info @altfws.altgov.info @nrdc.org @nature.org @altdoi.altgov.info script here: 5calls.org/issue/bounda...

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Begging you not to let Wael’s Tarabishi’s story get lost amidst all the horrors. He was a 30 year old disabled man. His dad was his full time caregiver. ICE took his dad away. Wael said it would kill him. He said the fear was “real & immediate”. He died last week. ICE killed Wael.

Keith Porter Jr Geraldo Lunas Campos Renee Good Alex Pretti All killed by ICE/CBP. 32 others died in ICE custody in 2025 alone. That we know of. Meanwhile ICE has stopped paying for most detainee healthcare. This is a public health emergency. Public health and medical workers. We must speak out.

We are calling our senators right now and demanding that they vote no on the omnibus with DHS funding We are explicitly mentioning ICE’s murder in cold blood of a man on the streets of Minneapolis this morning
