Minnesotans following and documenting ICE activity here have been detained, pulled out of their cars, hit with chemicals, had agents route them to their homes and take photos. Even after the killings of two observers, they aren't stopping. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”

It's so important to understand that when you argue on their terms your are reinforcing their frames. And mental frames really do change how we think about politics, even though we all think we're too smart to be influenced. Reframe using your own values and language, not your opponents'.

I am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.

Unfortunate thing about the assumption on the part of Israeli leadership that Democrats will never respond in-kind to their hostility is that they've been correct for well over a decade and a half

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Rep. Foushee would be great for a purple district in Eastern NC. But #NC04 is one of the most progressive districts in the country, and we deserve representation too - especially at a time like this when leadership *requires* confronting fascists. www.theassemblync.com/news/valerie... #NCpol

Incredible. Millions are newly-mobilized, questioning how their taxes are being used to hurt their neighbors. Republicans are in a terrible position. Democrats have huge leverage. And they may just go ahead and give DHS more money — as long as they slap on a few rules DHS is already not following.

Data confirms that vaccines have prevented illness, disability, and death from polio, measles, cervical cancer, and more for generations. Get the facts and get your family vaccinated to help give them longer, healthier lives. (1/2)

“This is a call to every healthcare worker, to every union member, to every American, to continue these acts of bravery, to confront ICE, to confront Border Patrol where they show up." Important reporting by Amie Stager. workdaymagazine.org/we-will-not-...

I need all of my friends to know that every time you share a story, a game, or even a recipe from the NYT, I think a little less of your judgement. They are an actively destructive force to this country and this planet, and there is no information they have that can't be found somewhere else.

We're proud to announce our newest endorsement: @nidaallam.bsky.social in #NC04! As County Commissioner, she's proven you can deliver real relief for working people, if you fight for it—that's exactly what we need in Congress. Anything less is an excuse paid for by corporate PACs.

🎉 ENDORSEMENT ALERT! 🎉 We are proud to endorse @nidaallam.bsky.social for Congress in #NC04! Nida has always rejected the corrupting influence of AIPAC and the Israel lobby. In 2022, AIPAC & co. spent millions propping up Valerie Foushee to keep Nida out of Congress. Now she's back for a rematch.

We're going to win because their side has no good art and they know it.

I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/ (New piece) newrepublic.com/article/2057...

the reason I'm so heated right now is Ilhan Omar has been thrown to the wolves so many times by the Democratic establishment for saying the things the Dems are finally, YEARS LATER starting to say. They've let Rep Omar take a lot of heat and have not used their voices enough to defend her

I've said many times over the past year that the task before the left of center is to build new, functioning institutions in place of the old and failed ones. I think Minneapolis is the perfect example: state and local govts no help, courts a mixed bag, but the people built their own networks

Trusted friends in Minneapolis tell me that this fund is supporting many people but does not have enough money. If you can give, please do: chuffed.org/project/1671...

This woman has more courage than every member of the Democratic leadership caucuses in Washington combined. And there are tens of thousands of everyday people just like her who are finding courage to confront evil face to face while our "leaders" dither and argue over semantics.

Let's do some ACTUAL remembrance of the holocaust

The PBS documentary on NYC is so incredibly worth your time but when I got to this part covering Emma Lazarus I wept, like *sobbed*, and watching it again just now tears were rolling down my face One of our true founding documents. Not what we are but what we could be youtu.be/sY5K2DnD3Bs?...

bloop

Amen.

After executing Alex Pretti on Saturday, ICE has shifted to primarily targeting bus stops and elementary schools in my community this week. I cannot overstate how much of the ICE activity in my community is just targeting places where little kids are.

Organizing and activism is about power. Strategic organizing means making moves that reduce your opponents power and increases your movement’s power. The fascists are weak right now. There are cracks in their wall. Our power is growing. Do. Not. Stop. Keep. Pushing. We’re going to win.

This is your regular reminder that the data broker industry must be destroyed.

Signal doesn't replace actual security culture and practices

“[Stephen Miller] pushes everybody to the absolute limit because he knows that the clock is ticking.” It's up to us to make sure his days are numbered.

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

“You know, like Nazis do.”

I’ve always been the most enthusiastic couch potato sports fan since I was a little kid, and my joy could never be dampened by the corniest of nationalisms and absurdities (I mean, I cheer for “Chinese Taipei” 🇹🇼) But now? Please world, boycott the U.S. hosting of the FIFA World Cup. And Olympics.

They went to Minnesota to rendition Somali-Americans because Donald Trump hates Ilhan Omar. That's really the extent of it. And they don't understand why nice white Minnesotans are putting their bodies and lives on the line. And so those white folks are just a bunch of ni-[CLANG] lovers to them.

If there's one thing I know about racist white people is that they expect all white people to be racist. So they literally cannot compute why a bunch of white folks would be in the streets when they're not the ones being kidnapped

In 2024, @UAW members went on strike for Gaza — and were met with fireworks, bear mace, and boards with nails. Union workers were hospitalized while police stood aside. @sarahlazare.bsky.social reports on solidarity in opposition to the slaughter of Palestinians. inthesetimes.com/article/work...

Signal is compromised in the exact same sense that an irl community meeting would be compromised when a dude nobody knows shows up and starts loudly asking where all the guns are and whether any fellow leftists can let him in on any cool plans to commit crimes. Which is not at all.

Never Again Is Never Again For Everyone

Seems to be a Guardian US piece (not transphobes) shared by the Guardian proper (institutionally transphobic). The Guardian US has a seperate funding structure and editorial independence. It's confusing, but it matters - they're not the bad guys (but the UK Guardian are).

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and the Trump administration have been clear that, to them, the problem isn’t ICE agents running amok in American cities; it’s the people documenting ICE activities and posting to social media. But doing so—even anonymously—is protected by law, writes CDT's Kate Ruane.

There's apparently body cam footage of Alex's murder. Do people know this? This lets you know that a demand for body cams is USELESS and in fact just a way to give more money to the killers.

And they need media editors and owners to stop dismissing growing mass protests as a story to be buried on the back pages of their newspapers and the tail-end of their newscasts — a phenomenon called the "protest paradigm" — if they cover them at all. pressingissues.org/to-the-natio...

there is no earthly reason to believe that these goons will comply with any new regulations! it’s like if I put a sign on my door ordering the pines not to drop their needles! they’re pines and those needles will drop! zero funding, “reform” my ass, this guy must be stopped

Good morning. Immigrants are #HereToStay.

We're just a wee news site in a vast internet, but we're not alone - our readers are what makes us strong enough to take on disinfo and bias and bring our trans community the news. We're in the middle of a fundraising drive, and we need your help! Become a member, donate, share this post.

While we should be thrilled that Minneapolis effectively killed ICE there with their kindness, we should be ready for them to find a new site that will react as they're clearly hoping we'll react -- with some kind of violence they can use as a pretext for cracking down.

if you were on the fence about gayness being a super power... allow the bigotry of the frozen chosen to shove you into certainty

If you're running around telling people not to use Signal right now, you're either dangerously foolish or actively fighting against the cause, and I believe we lack the time to sort out which is which right now.
