One aspect of the DMV deep freeze that local Latino politicians are talking about but no one else I can see: we are short hundreds of snowplow contractors relative to this time last year because they're scared of 1) doing government work 2) alone in a truck outside. ICE is making the ice much worse.

(clearing throat) they’re publishing pedophile papers to distract from ice

my contribution to opsec discourse is that i have been invited to group chats where we talk about things that are absolutely above the ice attention threshold and nobody has asked me ANYTHING about who i am or what my background is. i just showed up to stuff with no friends or contacts

Working in government I learned that 99.99% of compliance is people thinking it’s the right thing to do or being afraid to break the law. Here, the government is threatening to prosecute masses of people for 100% lawful acts, but can only harass a teeny tiny fraction. So do it and don’t be scared!
Let me reiterate: THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO PERSECUTE LARGE NUMBERS OF DISSENTERS. What they are doing, instead, is using fear and paranoia as a force multiplier: they don’t have to persecute us if we keep ourselves home because someone told us we can’t walk in public without being terrified.

the catholics in chicago brought a monstrance to the detention center and made a huge deal out of being forbidden to minister to the people inside

and that’s

the only example i have
Almost every clergy member I've seen protesting ICE has been from a mainstream Protestant denomination. I've seen Catholic clergy speaking out but none directly at protests (I may have just missed it).

The mega-churches are mostly Evangelical, conservative, and pro-ICE.
props to the clergy standing up to violence and fascism and evil but where are the mega-churches, where is joel osteen

I’m so glad you went. I had many people ask me - “is it safe? Should I leave my phone and ID at home? Do I need an exit strategy?”

We’re building this bizarre and paranoid civic culture based almost entirely on miasmatic online fear endlessly feeding itself. Selma marchers didn’t even mask!
Online security theater posting made me really afraid about having my phone or showing my face before going to a no kings protest and then when I got there it was a great time and my mom was taking pictures of everything lol. I felt ridiculous because I almost didn’t go people made it sound so risky

The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

There should be secure facilities where you're allowed to get drunk BUT you can only go to the one where everyone else has the same level of clearance and need to know as you
The exception to this is if the strip club is a SCIF.

i thought the president can’t be sued for execution of official duties. hrm
Donald Trump (private citizen) has sued Donald Trump (President) for $1 trillion. A Trump administration spokesman said that they intend to defend the suit vigorously but that they are hopeful a resolution beneficial to “Donald Trump” (unclear) can be reached

very funny to read will stancil talk about getting shut out of his neighborhood chase crew and then two hours later be in a group chat where a guy talks about why he schism’d from a larger and actually effective group and now shows up to their gathering “under duress” but doesn’t do anything himself

Minneapolis should press its momentum and demand not only withdrawal but start talking about the need for immediate reparations, loudly, with the total certainty that only winners have. "You have wronged us terribly and must pay recompense" and let them argue the second part.

“abraham lincoln vampire hunter” was a documentary and i am not kidding about this
there's a moment when he briefly breaks off his engagement to mary todd because he gets sprung on an 18 year old girl he meets. then he crashes out once he realizes what he's done. its literally the knives chau subplot from scott pilgrim

dane county put up 82% for crawford last year. we’re the bluest county in wisconsin

minneapolis 64a went NINETY FIVE yesterday

I mean we just had a special election in the twin cities under surge conditions and it was what D+20 on top of a 70% district, which is numbers you’re not supposed to be able to get unless the other candidate is literally a squirrel or something

i’m sorry, “outperformed the candidate who didn’t have an opponent” is fucking insane to me. WHAT
She borderline beat the margin of the DFLer running elsewhere in the Cities who was literally unopposed lmao
