In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold,
Greater than the might of armies, magnified a thousand-fold.
We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old
For the union makes us strong.
Solidarity forever,

Video of federal agents getting run out of Lyn Lake this afternoon. Agents drop a gas can at the end and someone kicks it back at them.

lots of political space to convert those “not sures” into somewhat supports and those “somewhat supports” into strongly supports on eliminating ICE. also, with a funding battle coming up, plenty of political space to say “no government funding unless we claw back last year’s new ICE funding”
This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

This is absolutely true
I've said it before and I'll say it again: The best antidote to doom and despair is getting out in your community if you are able to and working towards something positive. Not everything has to be about fighting fascism directly. Simply building better and stronger communities is a worthy endeavor.

i want everyone to know how directly connected our calls to abolish the police are to this moment in minneapolis. The mayor cannot and would not order police to arrest ICE bc they would refuse and it would betray he actually has no control over them and they operate with complete impunity.

ICE agents are falling all over themselves to call Renee Good a "lesbian bitch" and Democrats can't even acknowledge that she had a wife.
Becca wept over her body. She screamed in agony. Fuck Ellison.

Ellison completely erased the existence of Renee Good’s wife, who was on scene at the killing. He said that Renee’s children are without a mother, and made a point of saying that her youngest did not have a father (deceased.)
Unacceptable, especially when MPR issued Becca Good’s statement days ago.

this isn't good enough, @warren.senate.gov. ICE isn't out of control, they're finally getting to do what every single ICE agent believes was their purpose all along: the ethnic cleansing of the United States. Dismantling the agency entirely and prosecuting them all is the only acceptable position.
.@PabloReports: Would you vote for any funding increases for ICE?
Warren: Not without more restrictions. This is an agency that is out of control. If we don’t get some restrictions in place, they’re going to put more American citizens at risk.

no, being a real shitlord to people who you find annoying on social media from the comfort and convenience of your own home is not actually praxis, much as you may wish it were so
