Much of my youth revolved around the website ZineLibrary. It went down around Occupy in a massive loss for a movement whose ideas and knowledge mostly doesn't circulate online but in person.

Anyway I've put it back online with a *thousand* anarchist zines:

Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.

All bodycams are going to do is facilitate a surge in prosecutions for “assaulting agents” and improve data collection about protesters so good work everyone who pushed for that big reform.

I learned recently that Minnesota has a new bail fund, "The People's Bail Fund." Folks here might know that the Minnesota Freedom Fund recently moved, at least largely, into other work. I think it's good for other orgs to step into the bail/bond relief roles. pbfmn.org

it’s a good thing COVID is long gone, a thing of the past, nothing to worry about anymore from COVID or any other highly contagious disease in the middle of winter…since Dems insist on taking masks off ICE workers who definitely are all totally vaccinated anyway.
NEWS from inside the Senate Dem meeting tonight:
1-Schumer has the votes to block the DHS funding bill
2-They're going to ask for real investigations into the murders (including an end to impeding the state/local investigations), an end to masks and arrest quotas.

Cannot stress enough that you can just do stuff. You don't need permission. You can just do stuff because it needs to be done by someone.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

I'm seeing parallels with the ICE murder and what happened here in #Denver in 2015 with Jessica Hernandez.

Both had agents/officers claiming they were trying to stop a moving vehicle by shooting the driver.

Didn't make sense then, doesn't make sense now.
