If the admin's strategic goal was to break public resistance to immigration enforcement activities, it was a tactical mistake to go to the Twin Cities.

And if they want to be cowards that’s fine, just don’t collect the paycheck. Get a different job. Give it to one of those freezing Minnesotans they seem up to it.

The anger people have at media institutions and college administrators can’t be detached from this, it’s not just that people can perceive cowardice it’s that they see others with more on the line doing more to stand up for their values than the people who have been trusted to safeguard things

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

sleep tight....... #art ✧ #painting ✧ #cat?

still feels like folks outside of MN are kind of not getting it: our state has been under attack for over a month, and the resistance is being organized by literally your regular old neighbors and coworkers and friends.

hello everyone. If you, like me, think you do not like oatmeal raisin cookies, this is for you. i loved this recipe and so did EVERYONE i shared a cookie with. (Do not sub out the brown sugar, it defined the taste for me) momsdish.com/recipe/99/oa...

riveting life updates!!!! I had a hard day so I baked two batches of cookies

Tonight...... we are all Indiana fans

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

i appreciate how theres at least one comment on every reddit post like "you need to consult a lawyer. have them draft up a contract to cover you against potential liability" no matter how small the issue or how unlikely the OP is to be able to afford that

i wish i could still buy things at the prices i used to complain about

i didnt think my septum piercing had closed from lack of use, but judging by the lingering pain in my nose, I may have been a piercing salon today

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

LRP wow I really cant even argue. It is correct. You can tell

the wildest thing is right-wingers acting like minnesotans in videos must be outside agitators when we can all hear their accents. i don't think i could do that accent convincingly if i spent a year practicing. and neither would i wish to. have you heard that shit? craziest american accent

i never feel like i have my shit together but someone i respect very much told me that she thinks of me as a consistent overachiever (positively). I may not successfully internalize this, but I will be happy about it!

For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

the valiant defenders of Minneapolis secured an absolute *haul*

classes this semester are so fun. i feel good about my budding research. my profs like me. :)

my weekend review by the way

despite knowing i am doing a lot, despite seeing the material impacts I’ve had… it’s so hard to not feel helpless in the face of what’s happening to the places most important to both my partner and I. simultaneously.

Sorry caleb williams, but it’ll take more than 4th quarter bullshit to win in January! (Caleb williams opens his bag to reveal an even deeper hitherto undiscovered level of 4th quarter bullshit)

he’s so photogenic :)

neither posting nor consumption count as doing politics and websites like this are a machine that turns obvious political solidarity into a black hole of endless discourse. that includes this post. you can’t out-post it by finding the right smart words you can only log off

already seeing discussions about whether you have to watch videos of fascists shooting people on the streets to properly resist them or scolding about not voting democrats and i cannot stress enough how little this matters. the only thing that matters is if your city will be in the streets tonight

Worth noting that Minnesota Public Radio is NOT doing that. They're interviewing people on the ground, chasing down witnesses and facts, and treating ICE statements with the appropriate amount of skepticism.

Hello this is your lawyer speaking -- every day is Shut The Fuck Up Friday!

we've got some ICE shit going down in our little town today and it took like three minutes for a convoy of wine moms to start chasing them around town. normies hate this shit and are putting in the work

I mean even just discussing what ever is wrong with Venezuela’s government or economy as being something we should fix is insane. ITS OUR FUCKING FAULT IN THE FIRST PLACE. The right will get theirs, but liberals must be included in that number for laundering this evil.

Time to dust this one off again

Reminder that misinformation and disinformation are going to be worse than normal and to check sources, and be cautious with what you're sharing.

There are 770,000 Venezuelan refugees in the US. Let's be sure to protect them too. Here's a list of refugee resettlement orgs by state that you can volunteer with or donate to: rcusa.org/resources/st... Here's a map highlighting resettlement clusters:

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

I just feel numb. Nothing to do but keep Mara’s family in Venezuela in my thoughts, which feels like worse than nothing, actually

Nuremberg now.

What's left to say? May everyone involved in dropping bombs on Venezuela be punished swiftly and finally in pursuit of a just society and a lasting architecture of peace.
