Mass deportations were a key part of Trump's campaign & the GOP's platform this year.
He's stacking his administration with extreme anti-immigrant hardliners like Stephen Miller & Tom Homan.
We can expect to see brutal human rights violations. What can we do to reduce the harm?

If this government is so against vaccines, how did it get its immunity to telling the truth?
This case involves another Minnesota shooting. The agent fired “to defend his life” from a weapons assault that we now know never happened.

Some of the defendants in the Prairieland case apparently never set foot anywhere near the protest in question.
Just as authorities sought to crush the #StopCopCity movement by randomly indicting people on baseless charges, here they aim to scare people out of acting in solidarity with immigrants.

Pay attention to the Prairieland case.
By saddling the defendants with indiscriminate charges, holding them without bail, and isolating them from lawyers and the public, prosecutors are attempting to terrorize them into signing guilty pleas in order to set a precedent criminalizing dissent itself.

They keep changing tactics but keep kidnapping my neighbors. Every time they claim they’re drawing down things get a little worse.
ICE observers in Minnesota are skeptical about the White House's claims of a federal drawdown.
But they have noticed in recent weeks a shift from aggressive street sweeps in Minneapolis to instead target people in the suburbs or quietly waiting in unmarked vehicles of residential areas.

learning abt feminism helped me claw out of the (kinda silly but very real) depression that started at the end of my first real relationship. It helped me really understand consent and desire and notions of autonomy that I had only sorta intuited before. Fear of feminism puts us in a worse position
people are honestly still so scared of feminism including just the word "feminism" and it would be funny if it weren't so sad. some men will go to their graves defending actively hilariously offensive portrayals of men in games/tv/movies bc they're so scared of engaging with feminism at all
