The people of Minnesota did that. Not Schumer and Jeffries, not Walz and Frey, not the standard-bearers of decorum. The People.

Please consider supporting all the victims of ICE. While the murders of Good and Pretti have the highest profiles, they are not the only ones with grieving families who need help.

im sorry but we just spent the last decade being told the biggest issues were pronouns in emails and a trans kid playing jv lacrosse if you said these things and got paid for it then you need to go away. literally if “woke mind virus” is something youve ever said unironically you need to go away

Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.

“LET US OUT!” women & children scream for help inside a detention camp in TEXAS, where private prisons like core civic make billions of taxpayer dollars holding them while abusing, neglecting them, refusing them health care, feeding them dirty food & water, etc. In our name🇺🇸

Good. Keep going, everyone. Let's make them suffer until they abolish themselves.

they can’t imagine that living decades under patriarchy and male supremacist violence was not also preparing us for dealing with cops of all kinds

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

By my friend, the amazing cartoonist @mikedawson.bsky.social Part of a longer story. You need to follow him.

We are winning, but the ethnic cleansing is continuing. We need to stay locked in and protect our neighbors.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

Last week, MAGA was claiming they're the *real* victims because some protesters called out a church who has an ICE agent pastor. They're both babies and liars. But I also dug into the church. It's the church that declared empathy is a "sin." Analysis. www.salon.com/2026/01/26/p...

Wrote about him in TNR, prior to Renee Good. Remarkably similar incident. He’d just dropped off his kid. They rushed his car. He tried to flee. Cops then claimed he tried to run them over, despite video evidence to the contrary. Should’ve been a warning.

People at taken to Whipple are released into the cold in whatever they were wearing without their phones and IDs. Volunteers meet them at release (or find them left in parks and the woods) get them a burner, warm clothes, food, a ride home, etc (GFM in next post) www.instagram.com/reel/DTzJde9...

Alex Pretti's gun is like Renee Good's car: irrelevant to the central fact that they were murdered by ICE. ICE wants us to debate whether Pretti should have been carrying because that avoids the central fact. Pro-carry, anti-carry--that has as much to do w/ his murder as his fashion choices. Zero.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon. wapo.st/49Zqv1L

The Trump administration is murdering citiznes in the street to provoke violent reactions create conditions for even further oppression. Like the lead up to the Ghorman Massacre. youtu.be/-PGzPX6YeE8?...

"Once again, we note the role that local and state police play in enabling ICE to continue murdering with impunity. Democrat...s have expressed disapproval of ICE tactics, but they and the police... have yet to do anything concrete to stop federal agents from terrorizing, abducting, and murdering."

If you translate it into german it says, "I'm a Nazi trying to defend Nazis."

Donald Trump's plan for Gaza includes everything but Palestinians. We call that Ethnic Cleansing.

Most of the hobby subreddits I follow are pissed. Here’s stained glass

attn: everyone asking why athletes aren’t speaking out on Minneapolis, please meet two-time MVP, three-time world champion, three-time Olympic gold medalist Breanna Mackenzie Stewart.

I keep thinking about this fact that his last words were are you okay and hers were I'm not mad at you and it feels like a weird coincidence but it's just a reflection of the fact that the people who are coming out to take care of their neighbors are good and the people who are after them are bad

His dying words were asking about the safety of someone next to him Hero

It is not an exaggeration at all - at all - to compare this to how segregationist terrorists would murder peaceful civil rights activists and then their political and civilian allies would immediately laugh about it. It’s the exact same moral and policy cadence

"Liberty for the kids." "[T]hey're appealing for help, and they're appealing to the country and the world's population to come to their support and free them all from this place." "[T]reat us with dignity." #Texas #Minnesota #USA #Incarceration #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

What appears to be happening in the Twin Cities is that the federal government has selected this space to retaliate for Minneapolis’s revolt against police violence which launched a global abolitionist movement that taught people organized resistance to fascism.

I find this language really gross. First off, it's weak as hell. But second, if your demand is simply that ICE leaves Minnesota, that's just telling them to go to another state to terrorize people. These centrist squishes need to push for full abolition of ICE.

Nurses are pissed. This is on the front page of the nursing subreddit, along with many discussions about it on several other posts.

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

The reason we don't have universal healthcare, the reason we gave 4% of the world's population and 20% of the world's prisoners, has always been so we can't fight back when the government does *this.*

So NOW can we have that conversation that the United States having the world's largest carceral state, the most (and most heavily armed) cops, the most prisoners, and the most cages, has never been about safety and always been about institutional racism and suppressing dissent?

Concentration camp victims protest! The incredible bravery and fortitude and care involved in doing this ✊🏽 ‘some of them holding signs that included “Libertad para los niños,” or “Liberty for the kids.”‘

America as you have known it dying because we have to build this country better. Full stop. Holding on to the fantasy nostalgia doesn't help the people of Minneapolis, or anyone captured by ICE. You have lived with an illusion of freedom, but this is Authoritarianism 101.

"We lived happily during the war," Ilya Kaminsky

Let us all have the courage displayed by the residents of Minneapolis.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

I actually think it's pretty easy to explain. Younger people didn't buy into an older neoliberal elite's prejudices, the older neoliberal elite absolutely lost their shit at the notion that they might be called on to change, and fascists exploited that reactionary moment

What is the difference ‼️‼️‼️

The United States Government’s position is that it is unlawful to watch law enforcement and you will be assaulted, it is treasonous to oppose their work and you will be executed for it, the President of the United States will defame you in death, and they will say “good job, law enforcement” on CNN.

America has become an authoritarian state
