hey Jared Golden: Fuck no I won't support the Blue Dogs today, especially Marie Gluesenkamp Perez who voted to fund ICE.

Thanks for the reminder, however, to donate to primary challengers like @bhennrich.bsky.social for WA-03. secure.actblue.com/donate/bh4cl...

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Indigenous leader Olivia Bisa speaks truth to power.

One of the world’s most powerful finance magazines gave the floor to the President of the Chapra Nation and she used it to confront the institutions fueling climate destruction with a clear message: stop financing oil and gas in the Amazon.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

The Awá Indigenous people in Brazil have their own patrol group called the Awá Guardians 🏹

They protect their rainforest for their people, inc the uncontacted Awá.

Illegal logging is the main problem they're facing, but they won’t give up. Indigenous lands must be in Indigenous hands.

A group of ppl in Minneapolis made signs w/ the names & ages of other people killed by ICE to lay at Renee Good's memorial

in order to uplift people whose deaths aren't making national/ international news the same way.

This is to honor what Renee fought for & highlight that they, too, were Good.
Traffic is flowing again, large number of people have dispersed. A small crowd is lingering at the site of the shooting. Media doing interviews.

A sign for Silverio Villegas González, shot and killed by ICE behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September, sits in the snow and flowers.

Having the World Cup and Olympics here under the Trump regime is really a recipe for disaster.

Again: why would any player or fan come here under these circumstances? Especially non-white people?

Expect more of this👇🏽

Rep. @AOC: I understand that Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, and I do not. That is a fundamental difference between Vance and I. I do not believe that the American people should be assassinated in the street.
