Definite uptick in Bluesky content aggregators taking legit clips regarding Minnesota from a few days or weeks ago and posting them without any sort of timestamp context, which gives the impression of them happening today, which then gets clicks. Be vigilant with what and how you share.

What the fuck

If you're a nuclear booster, you should be opposed to this - it undercuts any and all arguments about how safe and well regulated nuclear reactors are, and this erosion will lead to generational disasters which will slam the brakes on any future projects, just like after Chernobyl.

It is absolutely by design. Theyr’e tired of white people sympathizing with Black and brown folks. That’s why they’re so mad and confused in Minnesota. All the nice white people yelling at them to get fucked. It’s like their dads are yelling at them in a bathrobe. They can’t cope.

This woman is unfathomably brave and we all owe her a debt of gratitude for her determination to show the world what Trump's goons did to her.

lmaooooooo how do you even HAVE a 22 point overperformance in a Harris +71 district?!

never been a better moment to go after qualified immunity for EVERYONE, not just ICE. Pressley never misses

I want to curse tf out all the peanut section sideline keyboard "activists" on Facebook, but I also don't want to fedpost.

getting feds to say shit like this on camera with their face exposed is NUTS -- you can not reform this agency, everyone involved must go, there is no practical way to root out all of these guys

Here's what ICE is up to in Northeast Minneapolis today. Absolutely heartbreaking. Warning: video is hard to watch

The reality of the situation is that whatever Trump personally thinks about anything, he is allowing Stephen Miller to run his administration because he is lazy and stupid, and the entire decision-making apparatus on immigration has been infested with Nazis.

This is a critical point from Sen Chris Murphy: If Dems fold on ICE now, it could be a disaster in the midterms. "The result will be a lot of voters who tend to turn out in midterm elections just won’t." Here's our full exchange. It's powerful stuff: newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Here's Senator Chris Murphy's extended discussion of this group of restrictions on ICE: newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Revisiting, repealing and replacing most if not all post-9/11 security legislation needs to be part of policy platforms. Just like you shouldn't make big life changing decisions during a personal crisis, what was passed in a moment of national frenzied panic should not be permanent law of the land.

I can't wait to have my own house and do all sorts of twee tiny folk art/cottage core/craftsman style decor projects all over. My living room is going to look like Merry and Pippin had a bender and vomited all over, but with cats.

👀 Judge Schlitz, the chief federal judge in Minnesota, has ordered the head of ICE, Todd Lyons, to appeal personally in court Friday and threatened him with contempt for the agency’s repeated violation of court orders. “The court’s patience is at an end.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Just to say: You can be happy Greg Bovino is out, and that ICE is starting to leave Minneapolis, AND continue to call for the dissolution of ICE/DHS. Take a little victory lap and then keep on the pressure.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

all gas no brakes

Politicians gotta start calling for Miller to go. Right now.

Remember, folks: Greg Bovino won't see your jokes about how short he is- because you put them up too high lol

the thing this says to me is that I and every other dude who lives with a melanin deficiency need to be front and center at these things because literally no one with any authority will care unless something happens to us

seriously

Deleted this post in the abundance of caution. There is currently disagreement about whether this is true. Anna deleted her original post and now Bill Melugin at Fox is saying it's not all. Will follow up once it's clearer what's happening.

One of the reasons I have resisted any consumer AI is that I just don't see any practical uses. Today I for shits and giggles I tried using ChatGPT to try to edit a couple grant passages down to the 2000 character limits, something that I figured it would actually be useful for. It fucking failed.

The rest of it is even funnier

Organizing is a marathon, not a sprint, and that means we need to learn how to build community resiliency and support each other's mental health and wellbeing. Sign up for our General Meeting this Wednesday January 28 to learn more about resources available in WNY actionnetwork.org/events/clean...

Every little bit helps. EVERY. Little. Bit. Don't listen to the haters and the self-appointed purity/heroism cops. Do what you CAN, and don't self-bash for not doing more.

Yesterday @cacwny.org brought together 100+ people on a frigid January morning to train everyone up on the Midwest Academy organizing model. I'm no poet so I can't put into words how healing/impactful it was, but what I can say is that I have a stronger conviction today than ever that we will win.

someone in a nail polish subreddit created a shade that matches the one in this photo and is selling it on etsy so she can afford to buy her boyfriend a bulletproof vest to wear while doing ICE watch at home depot. we live in hell but we are going to fucking win.

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

you’ll never guess what this was in reply to

It also betrays a fundamental lack of understanding about sensible risk assessment in organizing. There are some organizing activities that are so sensitive that yeah, have that conversation offline and put your phone in a Faraday bag. AND there's some stuff you can do in an unvetted group chat.

Migraines are always awful, but the older I get, the more I've come to recognize that it's my body's way of protesting when I've been pushing myself too hard and making a clear demand that I take the day off.

The way to reconcile this is their aspiration was always to put down a slave revolt, not fight in one. bsky.app/profile/osit...

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process. This is one that stands out: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

There would be no ethical use of generative AI even if it weren't *literally* bankrolling the goddamn gestapo and its concentration camps and providing them the ability to generate infinite nazi propaganda slop. But it is also doing that too.

I just want to make it clear that it was *Border Patrol* agents who murdered Alex Pretti, and those fuckers murder people regularly here along the border. Renee Good´s murderer is also a former Border Patrol agent (currently ICE). Disband ALL the paramilitary groups and prosecute every member.

Showing cross-racial solidarity is a potential death sentence. There are few things white supremacists hate more.

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

I get it, it's frigid our, but if Buffalonians cannot weather the cold on a clear day with clear streets, then IDK how they expect we will weather climate disaster and white nationalist fascist oppression.

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

I was discussing this with my kid earlier today. I noted that they shifted from big cities like L.A. & Chicago to smaller ones like Mpls (and now Portland, ME) because they simply don’t have the manpower to overwhelm larger cities, and presumably can only do so in a handful of smaller ones at once.

This bill by a Washington State Democratic legislator would prevent any law enforcement agency in the state from hiring anyone employed as a sworn ICE officer after January 20, 2025. A good start, I say. Make them outcasts.

ICE attacked an observer after they tailed a group of clergy on a spiritual pilgrimage. Our digital producer @sam.vp just so happened to be with the clergy on their journey. He spoke with the observer who was attacked and others who witnessed the assault.
