These attacks aren’t abstract. They’re happening right now — to real people and real families. Minnesotans are leading the way. Now we must carry that momentum forward, organizing + taking action every single day. Train up Feb. 5. Show up March 28. This country belongs to us: moveon.org/nodictators

I look forward to the stories from the businesses who at first offered services to ICE and then quickly regretted it because the agents are undisciplined, violent children.
My Lyft driver said his friend, who works at a rental car company, said they're not renewing ICE's fleet contract tomorrow, because they have damaged every. Single. One. Of the rentals.

social media has made it okay for people to share inside thoughts outside.
but organizing is different. you have to think differently. somethings you want to say but cannot. and you must realize and accept that silence is your friend sometimes to do it effectively

Use separate cars for rapid response and mutual aid. That one really is important
Don’t use your full legal name as your Signal display name. Assume your Signal chats are public & don’t talk about crimes or share sensitive info you wouldn’t want screenshotted by a reporter or read out loud in court

Censor the truth. Silence critics. Suppress organizing. That’s the authoritarian playbook, and it’s happening in plain sight.
TikTok blocking Epstein, ICE, and anti-Trump content should alarm everyone. Democracy depends on free speech. Our leaders must act NOW.

There's always going to be bad news and suffering happening somewhere at any given time. It's not insensitive to find joy and distractions in your own life. This is what we're fighting for after all, that we can all be safe and happy. So don't waste those opportunities to enjoy life when you can.
if you feel guilt about creating non-activist/political work right now remember that you MUST balance out being informed with keeping your sanity. do your best to help but do not let it consume you to the point where all you do is doomscroll. maintaining your joy is part of the long game.

This should be boosted regardless if you're anywhere near Minnesota. Since organizing general strikes is something that should already be on the minds of Americans across the entire country, might as well talk about and support any where they may be popping up.
A major coalition is launching a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow, aimed at pushing out ICE.
It includes:
-Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1005
-The MN AFL-CIO
-SEIU Local 26
-UNITE HERE Local 17
-CWA Local 7250
-Saint Paul and Minneapolis Federations of Educators
-Faith leaders
And more. 🧵

Buy the cheap 50lb bags of non-clumping litter and put them in your car over your rear axle wherever that happens to be. Do at least 100lbs. Your rear axle just doesn't have much weight on it compared to your front axle which contributes to fishtailing etc.
Hey southerners, put a bunch of containers of kitty litter in your car right now. Put it under your front wheels if you get stuck and it will often give you enough traction to get out.
