And reporting on a situation as press is now a "coordinated attack"
interested to learn what “at my direction” means because it sounds like “without a warrant”

Friendly and unfriendly reminder that there's a general strike tomorrow!

No work, no school, no shopping.

Will not judge if you can't do all three, understand the nonsense of this world. BUT if you can do any/all of them, you'll be appreciated!!!

"It is striking that the capital offense for which both Pretti and Renee Good... were summarily executed was the crime of witness... Both were engaged in the task that democracies assign to citizens: that of paying close attention to the workings of power."
The Crime of Witness | Fintan O’Toole
Renée Good and Alex Pretti were murdered for daring to interfere with the Trump administration’s efforts to normalize abductions and state violence.

A group of trans people in Germany, circa 1930 (pre full Nazi take over and book burnings).

It's important to share this image widely as it dispels the myth that being trans is something new and trendy.

Want to re-emphasize what this bill does. It implements a $1,000 bounty for anyone to sue someone they suspect is trans and using the bathroom.

yes, there are no real signs of any big change in DHS activity here yet. In Chicago there really was after Bovino left and they basically ended "Midway Blitz" not so here so far.
I don’t know, declaring victory in MN seems premature. They’re still arresting people and brutalizing the community. The changes appear—so far—to be cosmetic

No one responsible for the formation of these agencies (DHS, ICE, CBP) and their orders sending squads of legit domestic terrorists onto our streets and into our neighborhoods should ever be allowed to experience another moment of peace or joy on this Earth.

The reason congressional Dems are becoming more and more vocal about firings and impeachments is because the base pushed them towards it. *That's* why we should be critical of them when need be.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.

"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."

"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I’m relieved Ilhan is okay and the guy who did this is in police custody.

Notice how Ilhan stood up and basically said “No, I'm not done yet. I'm not going to let this guy scare me away from doing this town hall.”

That's what service and patriotism looks like.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

Republicans have no values. They have no beliefs. They have no faith or love for this country.

They only care about power and will sacrifice anything to retain it.
