You know how people are like "well we should just have a general strike it's simple" and then us folks who've done labor stuff are like "cute yeah try pulling that off without unions"

Well
Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

As a cancer survivor, I won't gloat when bad people die of cancer.

Scott Adams was a bad person, who said vile things. It's ok to discuss that, as we do with the loathsome Al Capp.

Adams will quickly be forgotten. Most of the damage he did was to his place in comics history. As it should be.

Some of you aren't listening to folks on the edge. The people most affected by all of this.

Your solutions from a distance aren't helping. Push your leaders to impose sanctions on the US due to human rights abuses. Have leaders file lawsuits and tie up oligarch money in overseas accounts.

Frost: People should know that them cutting your healthcare, them cutting nutritional assistance, SNAP benefits, all this stuff—they're cutting that from working people so they can give ICE money to go terrorize our communities.

It's so real.

I am helping a church pull together a community meeting about preparing for ICE and everyone I'm reaching out to "yes-ands" me.

I am 40 and I have spent my entire adult life organizing, and I have literally never experienced this before. It's wild.

People are DONE.
i hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.

The curiosity was killing me. The guy said he found the ad on Instagram and that, as of today, the post is still up. So I spent an hour or so on a spreadsheet of every single bar, pub, or club I could find in Salt Lake City, almost 100.

None of them posted it

If I'm missing any bars in Salt Lake, please tell me. But this might be literally every bar in the city

The only bar that has ever advertised any kind of Heated Rivalry event was a gay bar, on December 31st, not January 9th, and was a dance party, not a watch party screening.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I don't give a fuck what insipid slogan Democrats come up with about ICE. they are not coming to help the people or they would have by now. The ordinary people of Minneapolis have done more for our rights over the past week than elected Democrats have done in decades

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

For 18 months, I had to keep the secret that I didn't just voice The Flying Dutchman in the SpongeBob movie, but I also played him in live-action sequences. The hours it took flew by thanks to superb makeup artists Gage Munster & Marcel Banks who were both so kind AND hilarious. 🤣 Thanks fellas! 🙏

I think one thing I find endearing is when watching a movie and you see a glaring mistake like this mambo combo left in the shot.
Maybe it’s the Navajo in me, but it gives it this human touch. I know people made that little mistake as they were creating this and I love it.

this country is extremely large and while this makes it hard for the kind of overwhelming protests we see in other countries to work (where one of the only the major cities is the capital, etc) it also makes repression on a large scale hard

they need a lot of guys! they don’t have enough guys!

It's actually a good thing that previously apolitical normies are finally getting angry and starting to speak out. We need the numbers in the streets and at the polls.

If your response to them is "no, fuck you, too late," then you don't actually care about stopping Trump. You're just preening.
