Pinned
This lyric from Jesse Welles is reverberating around my skull day after day, minute after minute:
The masks are off
And they dont even try
They know that you know
That they know
And they don’t even mind
The masks are off
And they dont even try
They know that you know
That they know
And they don’t even mind
This is a reminder that the current situation we all find ourselves in was kick started by a Bush, compounded by a Clinton, accelerated at warp speed by another Bush and the “War on Terror”, expanded by Obama, and not adequately addressed by Biden.
They handed Trump the keys and said “drive kid”.

when unknown men come into our government center to grab teenagers, is there anyone that verifies somehow that they are actually federal agents?
These assholes look like the psychotically violent henchmen in a mediocre movie

Don't look now, but it is after 11 p.m. in Minnesota. Where has the time gone?
Have you done the things you need to do to take care of you? Food, water, meds . . .
Maybe take out the trash or set a reminder for when you need to do that.
Get some rest if you can. Hang in there. (Fuck ICE.)

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

Hey Tom. The resistance ends over all of our cold dead bodies. Go fuck yourself you pig.
In one 30-minute stretch, three legal observers were arrested — as Trump’s Border czar Tom Homan calls on locals to “end the resistance.”

You guys? Also? I’m in the flight tracking groups, and the number of drones in the air at night in the Twin Cities is insane. And those are just the ones we see. Opsec is great, but they park drones on apartment buildings and fly them over schools. They have eyes in the sky.

The real Minneapolis Miracle is how many families’ rents we got paid for February.
The hard part is we gotta do it all over again in 18 days.

There is so much going on in the cities that I have some very strong feelings about and if I said how I actually feel I’d probably be fired from my job.
So I’ll just say this: things are fucked up and y’all should support your local news orgs because they are the only ones reporting the truth.

When you see videos of ICE and CBP chasing down and abducting an 18 year old neighbor at the Hennepin County Government Center today, know that’s what @repangiecraig.bsky.social voted FOR in the Laken Riley Act. Arrest and detention for non-violent offenses. She can NEVER represent MN again.

I don’t wanna be on this planet anymore with these people unless there are plans to straight-up _______ them. Cuz you can’t do anything else with people like that. And there’s no legal system on this planet that will properly ”hold them accountable”—in case you are still waiting for that.
