My buddy took me to Wisconsin and it was preposterously awesome. A chickadee ate from my freaking hand! It was so tiny, it had no weight, I could only feel its tiny talons

Whatever one thought of it in the moment it's clear that a wide swath of Saint Paul residents have given SPPD a lot of good faith assumptions during an era when policing is under greater scrutiny. And I think today is gonna mark a major shift in that sentiment for a significant chunk of citizens.

I want to point out a new resource page on Monarca website.

Small (or large!) businesses can post signs saying ICE/CBP must have a warrant to enter premises.

Also Know Your Rights signs for targeted people.

PDFs of signs and KYR cards. Plaster these puppies everywhere.

Ice has a legit warrant for the action on Maryland Avenue in St. Paul.

Leave the area. Document sppd action and fight like hell for them not to participate in future federal activities.

If you are on site, MIRAC is urging observers not to impede execution of a warrant, which is a crime, and to follow MIRAC member leadership on site.

Update: more ICE agents are arriving, some wearing gas masks -cars are out front, thinking on the ground is that ICE may make a move soon. If you can go to the address below, go

Interesting. Tina Smith and the "Fight Club" Dems think the DSCC is "quietly signaling support for and pushing donors" toward Angie Craig. Makes me like Peggy Flanagan more. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/u...

This is (mostly)where they’ve been sending women kidnapped in the twin cities.
Douglas County Jail is located in Superior, Wisconsin.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement currently detains a person at this facility for an average of 10 days.

Just read a brilliant post about the current state of mental healthcare in the U.S.: “We’re not choosing care; we’re foraging for it.” Sascha Altman DuBrul has an idea for what comes next. If you have a stake in mental health at all, read this: undergroundtransmissions.substack.com/p/the-quiet-...
The Quiet Collapse, and the Quiet Rebuilding
A portrait of a failing mental-health system, and one emerging movement to replace it with something more human.

The itinerary of this new wave of fascist deportations (Louisiana -> Barbados -> Equatorial Guinea) is the transatlantic slave trade in reverse, FYI
A small Journey plane landed in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. This is the first flight since Equatorial Guinea agreed to accept third-country nationals and it’s unclear if such nationals are on board. The plane departed Alexandria, LA yesterday and stopped in Barbados.
