this is functionally equivalent to a newspaper editor in 1938 cheering on a team of nazi scientists seeking out the Orb of Eternal life hidden in the frozen tombs of Hyperborea

there’s something about the fixation on polling when people are being brutalized in the streets by federal agents that doesn’t sit quite right

It’s so heavy when you are going to get groceries and you find a car sitting with its windows broken out and it’s empty but still running and someone’s stuffed animals or pictures or papers are just laying all over the road. I have personally seen at least five of these in the last three days alone

I am happy for people in Maine if this is true. ALSO, this suggests that the administration is unleashing ICE in blue cities and states as punishment for political reasons. Collins is up for re-election and they need her to keep their control of the Senate. This is GROTESQUE.

Not just any journalist, she won the goddamn Triple Crown of broadcast journalism (an Emmy, a Peabody, and a Murrow) in 2024 for her reporting on Gaza. This is textbook censorship of the highest degree

fantasizing about retribution feels great but how is this party going to do a Nuremberg or seize assets or in any way excise, root out or even shame the white nationalist project? they refuse to act in a climate of relative national agreement

I will simply never recover from reading this sentence: "Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."

fucking incredible. keep it up

wtf www.bbc.com/news/article...

yeah, exactly the laundry list of Adverse Masculinity Experiences (AMEs) you'd expect on perhaps the most stereotypical radicalization pipeline i've seen in a minute.

nice argument, unfortunately I have already depicted myself as a squared-up Ilhan Omar and you as a collapsing sewer ogre

I think one of the things I'm angriest about re Pretti's murder and the response is that he didn't need to die if only eg Jeffries and Schumer had decided to start fighting when this dumbfuck brutal plan was announced

ICE is now using LRAD on protestors, if you are going to go out in MN or LA, make sure you bring serious ear protection

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.

For the 1000th time, ‘solely because she was Jewish’ is incoherent. Nazism otherized Jews as part of a fascist state project. Drawing political lessons from the Shoah, & insisting upon its relevance today, is essential to understanding history & acting responsibly within it

wealth tax when

Bodycams for the masked chuds happily assaulting people the moment they feel inadequate as a man is an idea that only the most unserious people think can work

ICE & U.S. Customs & Border Protection employed at least 30 people with sexual & violent criminal histories in recent years. At least 20 agents committed offenses with underage victims. The bulk of abuse happened within the last two years. This article includes names of the agents.

The LRAD truck I discovered (same plate) last July outside Minnesota State Capitol is being used for 1st time (AFAIK) in MN tonight against protesters. Terrifying sonic weapon. Fed court (2nd Cir) ruled using LRAD on non violent protesters can be considered 14A violation, excessive force

My neighbor, a single mother of two in South Minneapolis, was abducted today and everything about it is heartbreaking. There is an immediate (and steep) financial need for lawyer costs. I know there are so, so many of these right now, but please consider this dear family: gofund.me/9516b14f7

Why is the msm outside of Maine not covering this? It seems like a huge and very troubling story to me. ICE coming to observers houses or calling them on the phone warning them to back off??!! www.pressherald.com/2026/01/23/i...

that the forces of human emancipation are more numerous and better organized than they are, and having more fun, with a more compelling vision of the future than they can ever dream of.

Absolutely gobsmacked to learn that the titular “Scooby Snacks” of the Fun Lovin’ Criminals song are not weed edibles, but in fact VALIUM???

And I think about the fact that Breonna Taylor was an emergency room technician which means she spent her days and nights helping other people hold onto their lives. And how hard the State fought to protect those who had murdered her.

The largest Trump superPAC donor so far this cycle is the president of OpenAI

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

I have had that feeling before where in the middle of an action you feel how tangibly another world is possible, but this time I feel it across an entire city. So many here are seeing what life could be like if it were organized around different principles, if the rhythm were completely different

when I am surrounded by my neighbors in these moments I know that love is constituted by this resilient care, the shared belief made material that we belong to each other and will fight for one another, no matter the cost.

Jfc these kids are screaming and it’s 34° where this children’s detention center is in TX children’s detention center

Protesters chanting "We're not cold, we're not afraid, Minne[apolis/sota] taught us to be brave" in Boston tonight outside Government Center station.

They put Geraldo Lunas Campos in a chokehold and compressed his chest until he stopped breathing. And then they lied through their Nazi teeth. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I know they’ve lied before but to be lied to so blatantly about a video we can all see, phew

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

I would treat any statement from a US government source at this point as about as trustworthy as the Russian government or any other modern authoritarian regime.

inescapable conclusion is we have no laws, just cops

I just did this. You can too.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

ICE is the logical endpoint of American policing

Hakeem Jeffries orchestrating a fake NO vote for most of the members is complicit They’re all complicit If you’re not actively against this you are for it

fantastic list assigning myself as homework

no one involved in this at any level, or any historical moment, deserves any empathy ever

This is so fucking apocalyptic.

Worth noting that the 1934 general strikes were also powered by interracial and immigrant-native solidarity. The longshoremen don't shut down the ports without Harry Bridges bringing Black workers in. Minneapolis is won in large part by Scandinavian trotskyists.

Incredible. It’s -12° (-24.4° C) at MSP airport right now.💪

been said Trump thought Minnesotans too nice to fight back, but Minneapolis is one of the most democratic socialist cities in US, if not the most he thought maybe he’d get the paroxysm of state violence he’s wanted since 2020. He didnt count on people standing up for each other

turned on NPR: but some disagreed. After watching the video ____ thought Macklin-Good was partly responsible for choosing to protest ICE turned off NPR

Now that the White House is using AI to edit photos of their political opponents to create fascist propaganda I’m wondering if anyone could have seen this use of AI coming. Okay I’m hearing lots of people did and they were forced to watch corporations smother the masses with the technology anyways
