This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Children being starved in concentration camps.
Maria is one of hundreds of children, who — like Liam Ramos — have been held at a Texas detention facility where parents say children languish as they’re served contaminated food, receive little education and struggle to obtain basic medical care.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.

Early in the pandemic, when I needed to network with other Menominee folks about mutual aid, everyone told me to talk to those women, and they were 100% right. The process of making things together and putting those things out into the world is important, and dismissing that is often masculinist BS.

I suppose I also take this personally bc attacks on craftivism land poorly with me as a Native person. Beading together, making regalia, sewing in groups — this is at the heart of how the women on my reservation gather to do healing work, political ed, and mutual aid. This has long been true.

Please don't accuse people in knitted hats of only wearing their supposed politics if all you're doing is posting, which is basically just another way of wearing your politics. It's a silly thing to attack people over in any case. Using fashion to signal support for ongoing acts of rebellion is good

Begging folks to realize that ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event.
People are being shot. They’ve been blinded. They’ve been traumatized.
The camps are full of disease.
TB, Covid and measles can all kill but they also disable.
It’s eugenics.

Idk they just approved and sent another 6 Billion to Israel last week. If it’s true they aren’t mentioning it as much, it hasn’t slowed the actual and financial support or influence who remain abysmally silent on what they are doing to Palestinians. 10,000 being tortured in prisons. No charges.

When Steven Harper brought in multiple damaging legislation hidden within the Omnibus bills people were outraged. But when they elected the Liberals next, the Liberals didn’t reverse any of the legislation that they campaigned on and that people had taken to the streets on.

Really important corrective to the discourse that regards the Epstein scandal an outlier, as if the only men who ever rape are rich and powerful men.
A lot of people, and not just conservative men, use the Epstein scandal as a way to escape thinking about bigger issues.....
