Resistance Was at the Heart of This Year's QuiltCon indyweek.com/news/culture...

Fifty-nine-year-old Pejman Karshenas Najafabadi is currently the 11th person to have died while in ICE custody this year that we know of, and the 17th ICE-related death since the killing of Keith Porter on December 31, 2025. Story lataco.com/iranian-ice-...

never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

"I need you to think about why you’d do this in a Democratic primary... You weaken whoever comes out of it. You damage the eventual nominee. You shape the field. You get a test run for your playbook."

tldr THANKS SUCKA

“.. Nearly 680 data centers are being planned in the United States, according to the data firm Cleanview, requiring the energy-equivalent of 186 large nuclear power plants.” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

@egrattan.bsky.social People have been talking about how administration insiders bet in prediction markets on this sort of shit. It is a comment about corruption.

Republicans clapping for Donald Trump bragging about taking away food stamps from poor folks is grotesque.

The State of the Union: the president is a corrupt demented sex criminal who tried to overthrow the constitution.

Incredible opinion. It holds that the common ICE tactic of jumping out of an unidentified rental vehicle and seizing suspected noncitizens while masked violates the Fourth Amendment because the *manner* of the seizure is incompatible with a free society governed by the rule of law.

Dear America, on this day, as much as any other day:

- pass a law that requires IDs and passports to vote - use the State Department to stop passport processing This is the end of free and fair elections in America.

The halftime show is a joyful explosion of cultures that is what America should be. At its best it’s what we can be. When everyone stops being a stupid fascist bigot.

Truly he is the Best Bunny.

Bad Bunny just abolished ICE through relentless fuck you pride and joy

And I loved every minute of it.

Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

just saw 4 ice agents go up to a house and knock and within 1 minute there were 30 people out whistling and they left. we will not take our foot off the gas

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Minnesota Rebel Alliance quilt block, free pattern by QuiltByNight. Made with love for the people of Minnesota, their courage and strength are an inspiration. #abolishICE 🩵💙🩵

If you’re a Democrat looking to run for president in 2028, now would be a good time to find the nearest microphone and state clearly that you will prosecute every Trump Administration official enabling this state sponsored terrorism to the fullest extent of the law.

The work being done by these observers of ICE to document, illuminate, and share what is being done in Minneapolis, in below freezing temperatures, given all that has transpired is so remarkably courageous. They are being killed for that courage, as ICE further reveals their cruelty and cowardice.

People are rolling trash bins down the street toward the federal agents and leaving them in the middle of the street, apparently creating a barricade.

I'm on site where a federal agent shot a Minneapolis man this morning. It's bad. Dozens of federal agents are facing off with hundreds of outraged residents. People being tear gassed, helicopters above, I keep hearing pops, and lots of loud BANGS. This smoke is from tear gas:

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!" "Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!' - two older Minnesota ladies, bidding farewell after the protest

On a downtown street in Minneapolis, as people stream out from the massive march, Mary Tyler Moore says “fuck ice.”

One of the green shoots of hope emerging from Trump’s oppression is a movement to make boards of directors more responsive to their constituents — especially university boards. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/opening-boards

In case you missed it: One of the ICE observers was pulled out of her car by CBP, who used facial recognition on her. Three days later, she learned her TSA-Pre clearance had been revoked.

Thank you to everyone who is risking their safety and contributing their time and money to protect our neighbors. If you are so inclined, please check out Stand With Minnesota (standwithminnesota.com) to find a way to help. And no one start any beefs with Will Stancil. (2/2)

Tried to watch the Jack Smith hearing but I just couldn’t. So I packaged up more whistles with new local zines and signage and put them out in my little free library. And with that I did more to help the people of this country today than all those awful republicans combined. It’s something, I guess.

ICE is writing secret memos claiming power to invade homes without warrants. They're using children as bait. They're killing. Congressional Democrats are about to vote to increase their budget by $18 billion. Call your House rep tonight. The vote may come tomorrow. www.patreon.com/posts/148814...

1/21/2026 - Minneapolis Federal agents abduct two teenagers (15 & 16) from a doctor's appointment At one point, it appears an agent tases one of the children

Shooting moms in the face and abducting and trafficking children ARE FUCKING KITCHEN TABLE ISSUES.

Incapable of understanding how "abolish ICE" was silly but arresting 5 year olds is public policy

right now the floor for me is abolish ICE and put every agent on trial and the average elected democrat is like what if we told them to cut it out

Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Cmdr. Greg Bovino is seen deploying a gas canister at Mueller Park in south Minneapolis this afternoon. Video by Ben Luhmann.

It should be fucking obvious to our representatives that we don’t want children to be kidnapped or for journalists to be held down and pepper sprayed or for moms to be shot in their cars… but here we are, trying to be heard, but are they listening?

This picture broke me, but the description of this kidnapping by a witness who says ICE referred to this precious child as “it” as they took him away fills me with an unspeakable, murderous rage.

That is an ICE agent pepper spraying a restrained victim in the face at close quarters; it's an unquestionable and indefensibly abusive use of excessive force that should (but won't) be criminally prosecuted as assault

I really should have made it just say “Fuck ICE” but I was trying to channel Minnesota Nice TM. Hand and sign outline quilt pattern by QuiltByNight, the sign is my own design.

A Minnesota high school student was nabbed by ICE agents as she was trying to pick up food for her family after work. She was violently dragged from her car and lost her shoes. So, barefoot in the middle of winter, she was put into the back of an unmarked car in a small town (Willmar).

incandescently enraged. They kidnapped a 5 yo and shipped him to Texas with no way for his family to know where he was.

ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old and sent him alone to a facility in Texas. Hell isn't hot enough.

state-sponsored child trafficking

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

He’s insane. 25th amendment or impeach him. That’s our remedy, that’s what the constitution allows.
