I will say, that I have actually experienced having someone in fandom absolutely be really harsh about me/my work and then be congratulated for being nice to me, nicer than I deserved, even though they were just blatantly misrepresenting what I said in order to get fandom clout so... 🤷🏾

People often ask me which socialist/communist/left organizations and parties I recommend joining. Right now, I’d suggest giving thoughtful consideration to whichever organizations demonstrate successful leadership in the current crisis of the neo-fascist occupation of US cities by ICE, CBP, etc […]

Australia’s Labor government has successfully passed a “hate speech” bill that’s plainly aimed, at least in part, at suppressing pro-Palestine organizations as “hate groups”. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/australias...

Nekima Levy Armstrong is a Minneapolis-based civil rights attorney, activist and ordained minister. On Sunday, she helped lead a protest at a Saint Paul church, where one of the pastors also leads a local ICE field office in the Twin Cities area.

We stand behind @aclum.bsky.social in their effort to get the Location Shield Act passed. This would block exploitative practices of data brokers in MA and help protect residents data from bad actors like stalkers, vigilantes or ICE agents. Spread the word: action.aclu.org/send-message...

ok, so what? if people don't *normalize* a police state, what should they expect from their elected representatives who ABSOLUTELY are acting like business as usual. This post should be addressed to your Democratic colleagues. The rest of us know this is not "normal" and expect ACTION from you all.

"As thousands of federal agents have flooded streets in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area to round up and deport undocumented immigrants, Mr. Amezcua, 46, has mobilized his church and organized free grocery deliveries to help people stay safely inside their homes." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/20/u...

Los Angeles let this be the day you join us. Or find a training and network near you. There is a role for everyone regardless of ability, skill sets, capacity. If you don’t see a role for yourself, that’s ok. That’s what they want you to think. Reach out to me directly and I’ll help.

People need to unironically withdraw their material and political support from the Democrats. support another party, i.e., actively seek out and promote third party candidates to the masses in your areas. Because at this point, the Democrats are comfortable with ignoring the masses.

once more time in light of this. we need to wake the fuck up.

Take note, Canadians. This country has also always been a "show your papers" state for Black and Indigenous people. Maybe you can finally fathom why we are so angry about apartheid and genocide here.

You aren't actually overreacting other people are sleepwalking.

The Insurrection Act is not "martial law." It doesn't displace civilian law, it doesn't suspend habeas corpus, it doesn't alter or suspend state and local government, and it doesn't make anything newly illegal. It allows using the military to enforce existing law, it doesn't change what the law is.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

what a legend lmao

The import of this ruling: Foreign citizens in the United States—including green card holders—can be arrested for political speech and imprisoned for months or even years before being given a meaningful opportunity to challenge the constitutionality of their arrest and imprisonment.

Your regular reminder that there is no legal path from martial law to suspending elections in this country. That doesn't mean there is no path. It just means that we need to reject the framing that the federal government has any legal authority to cease elections.

I'd also like to point out that an early act of hers was calling online Black feminism "toxic" on the covert of Mother Jones back in the 2010s People keep acting like the way folksnl treat Black gender minorities isn't a commentary on the rest of their politics. Of COURSE she's a TERF now.

that so many are thinking "how do we differentiate ourselves from the people who saw this coming" is not a good sign people learned anything lol

That's a perfect example of how "performative" has become MEANINGLESS. POLITICS IS SUPPOSED TO INCLUDE A PERFORMANCE. PERFORMATIVE POLITICS IS NECESSARY. I truly despise these fucking so called 'moderates.'

bsky.app/profile/unra... Latest @unraveledpress.com is onsite (thread / videos) and has reported some use of tear gas as well as a CBP BORTAC truck arrived but some federal agents have departed in recent minutes.

Larry Ellison named a giant yacht "Izanami" after a Shinto deity, but quickly renamed it after it was pointed out that the name spelled "I'm a Nazi" backwards

The Oglala Sioux Tribe is still trying to locate four members kidnapped by ICE agents in Minneapolis last week, and many Native people in the Twin Cities have felt scared to leave the house to go to work or get groceries.

this is war. I don't know why this isn't the language that everyone uses. The Feds are waging war on civilians.

Aside from a UR contributor, several protesters were also injured last night by federal agents during a protest against ICE at the Whipple Building, including other members of the press. Watch the incident filmed by @statuscoupnews.bsky.social, who were also hit: bsky.app/profile/stat...

“No nurse should be asked to accept less pay, fewer benefits, or less dignity for doing lifesaving work,” said New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

A project to dismantle ICE will be years in the making. This is because you will have opponents [not just in the fascist GOP but also in the Democratic party]. And that means that organizing campaigns will have to be strategic and they will always be subject to being undermined by purported "allies"

Abolishing the Dept of Ed was a multi-decade project of the Right and it took a fascist regime to finally start to do it. Dem elites and politicians have no such investment in dismantling ICE and we can see that in real time. There's also no movement of its voters threatening them on the matter.

i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

The more aggressively the Zionists try to stomp out criticism of Israel the more necessary it is to aggressively criticize Israel. Now we're not just opposing genocidal atrocities, we're also opposing an assault on our own civil rights.

I've been silent as thousands of "arrest ICE" posts have moved through the timeline. The MN FOP statement is one example of why this won't happen.
