Secretary Marco Rubio claimed no one died as a result of cuts to USAID. That’s not what we found.

Mamdani: I am in support of abolishing ICE… I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life.

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

Dakota Nation rises. They ride in defense of human rights. When the federal government sends armed thugs into our communities to terrorize families, it exposes a long history of dispossession, removal, surveillance, and racialized control.

U.S. defense officials are saying 1,500 active-duty soldiers are on standby in Alaska for possible deployment to Minneapolis. That’s on top of the 3,000+ ICE agents already in the area.
We don’t really believe this is about undocumented immigrant crime in Minneapolis, do we?

Quit talking about Trump. Address everything, every issue to Miller and Vought. Make Trump irrelevant, his ego will not let him be out of the spotlight and you’ll see Miller and Vought removed and the rest of the administration collapse.

There is no “better training” for an organization that does this.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

I try and avoid political posts because… well… *gestures*, but I am *still* seeing posts from Americans talking about stuff that the “next president” will have to clean up after “the next election” and it blows my mind that even despite… well… *gestures*, they still think there’ll be one.

At a church in Minneapolis that is hosting an anti-ICE singing vigil, which will later process through the neighborhood.
They sing: “This is for our neighbors who are locked inside, together we will abolish ICE.”

Having served in multiple countries run by ruthless dictators, I am accustomed to their tactics for keeping their populations under control. One of them is to employ a legion of fake opposition figures who promote the false narrative that "all parties are the same, so why bother voting?"

I’m sorry everyone. It needs to be said. If you are one of the accounts on here telling people that they need to obey in advance because you are scared of martial law and elections being canceled, the psychological warfare that authoritarians use is working on you. Fear is psychologically powerful 🧵

You help people who are going thru it right now.
Because this forces you to build the community relationships, infrastructure, and operational rhythm that you need to protect yourself.
Sending aid to others builds resiliency at home. None of us are free until we're all free.

The media (and everyone else) need to stop referring to ICE as "law enforcement".
They are out to perform "ethnic cleansing" and to terrorize the population.
There is nothing "lawful" about it.
