ICE must be stopped Border Patrol must be stopped the ethnic cleansing must be stopped and the roots that grew the tree of genocide must be uprooted and burned

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen

*Everyone has stories like this*

After a long period of vice-signaling supremacy, Twitter is going through a mass preference falsification collapse, whereby the selfish apathetic normies and less-committed racists are distancing from the suicide-cult fascists.

Fascism was cool until it became potentially personally inconvenient.

When folks would add cheap functionality to report abusers -- as on fetlife over a decade ago -- the self-aware abusers spam it with made up garbage, either crudely copying or intentionally making the most fucking trivial lies, in order to "prove a point" or flood the zone and provide cover.
They can, collectively, over time, absolutely obliterate the meaningfulness of public call outs and accusations *and* achieve the coveted power of socially smearing or disposing of their enemies

“are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” has been knocking around my head all day
one of the agents said “okay we know” when we were whistling so i leaned in and whistled louder and he threatened to pepper spray me. i then said “are you scared of a fucking whistle dawg” and he very meekly said “no i’m not scared of a whistle”

The comparison with insurgencies is both true and good. Every protest movement is an insurgency.

I'm mad today because the "stop defending non violence, it protects the state" guy who is also the "don't defend people retaliating against their abusers, abusers need therapy" guy is somehow being supported by trans guy anarchists.

Oh it brings me back! Posted a tame (for me) thread talking about how Jonah Hill and abusers like him use therapy to develop other means of control and a guy who made his name on theorizing the necessity of violence had a multi-week crash out about it and called me a know-nothing cult leader.
The edgy pro violence direct action guys get nervous when people talk about killing your batterer or rapist and they start suddenly cherry picking black feminism and describing everyone as "carceral" for endorsing feminists acts of militant resistance to patriarchy. Everyone really does have a line.

We laugh at the masses of right-wingers who cannot fathom giving a shit and so massively misunderstand us, but far more dangerous is the genre of right-winger who comes to understand with horror that sincere altruism exists in this world and sets their entire life towards frantically destroying it.
The original post.

“This is a hard pill for most of you to swallow but these MN agitators possess a fiercer faith in their cause than many Christians show in Christ, a faith proved not by words but by readiness to act, to sacrifice, to endure. I witnessed it.”

Ends in calling MNs communists.

It is deeply telling when a progressive voice with a massive platform cannot handle critique from someone to their left while still maintaining open dialogue with those to their right.

This tells you both a lot about someone’s class interests & their political loyalties when under stress.

tbh he is a useless lib and will always stay a useless lib, his position on ice slightly changing doesn’t change that he is a NYT columnist because he has the opinion of a NYT columnist.
Calling a trans woman illiterate for saying Abolish ICE, blocking her, & then 12 days later adopting the same political position she was advocating for is a fascinating decision.

Did you know that dogs in ancient Mesopotamia also refused to drop the ball?

According to a Sumerian proverb, “The dog understands ‘Take it!’ It does not understand ‘Put it down!’”

We meant to write "travel to Minneapolis".

To all Border Patrol and ICE agents: Stay home, save a life. Do not volunteer for these positions, quit your jobs or take early retirement unless you want to become famous and hated forever in your own communities.

Kent State does provide a good point of comparison for this moment because it, too, was not the first incident of its kind. It was the first time the victims were white which sparked more widespread outrage and political action than was ever offered the victims of the Orangeburg Massacre.

Do not forget Silverio Villegas González and Keith Porter when you talk about the people murdered in the streets by federal agents under this regime. They and their loved ones deserve the same attention, righteous anger, and solidarity that Good and Pretti are receiving.

Reactionaries can leverage advantages in asymmetric conflict against us. Lies take more time to dispel than to generate, etc. But it's vital that we have a clear picture of how few they can be. The TERFs that derailed the SF anarchist bookfair were like 6 distant fake goths who never even went there
A literal handful of bigots are responsible for like 90% of bookbans. A half dozen British terfs flood the internet loudly enough to sound like a crowd of transphobes.

A few hundred ICE swarm into a single city to give the illusion of being an army.

Love and solidarity to the people of Iran and those with loved ones there. After two weeks of internet blackout more images and accounts of the mass murder of protestors by the regime are becoming public. The scope of this is a horror that defies understanding.

I've spent a substantial portion of my adult life looking at the intersection of war and civil society and these Minnesota Volunteers surprised me with their discipline, fortitude, and vision.

Leaderless, but propelled by a collective spirit.

They're the brightest beacon in America right now.
The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

Landlord is trying to send 3 different sets of people to our house before 9 tomorrow morning. Pretty much immediately tossed the “we’ll give you 24 hours notice” out the window. And also apparently expects us to LEAVE the house during these showings lmao. Fuck no!
There’s someone already coming to see our house on Saturday morning 😭 we’re going to have to hustle out of here. A place we’ve live in and taken care of for four years. I hate landlords so profoundly.
