I was so grateful to hear the folks on @allinwithchris.bsky.social talk about the growth of this MN moment from the response to & communities of care that were built after George Floyd's murder. I love Mpls & MN & the ppl are absolutely aces, & the enormity of what's happening now is rooted there.
But this organic and grassroots response doesn't come out of nowhere - networks of mutual aid, defense, and community solidarity have been growing in cities and regions across the country, as outlets like @truthout.org have been documenting for months. truthout.org/articles/whe...

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

you work for a company whose co-founder said it was created to "blow up commies", who tf did you think you were going to be helping?
Palantir employees are pressing company leadership over its work for ICE in internal company Slacks obtained by @wired.com

"In my opinion ICE are the bad guys. I am not proud that the company I enjoy so much working for is part of this."

My friend in Toronto
told me
that according to the news
over the weekend
they had record breaking snow,
and in response
I told him
that I’ve been watching the news
and things here
are breaking too.

When I was young
I read somewhere
that if you want
to picture the future
imagine a boot
stamping
on a human face forever,
much older now
I cannot speak
regarding forever
but in the present
you do not need
to imagine that boot,
no, you do not need
to imagine it.

My work friend is frustrated
with all the people
who can’t be bothered
to brush the snow
off the roofs of their cars,
“I guess some people
just don’t care” (he says)
“about putting themselves
and others at risk”,
and as I looked
at his maskless face
I simply replied: “how true.”

I found out about the tracking of immigrant status from my almost eldest. They found out from privacy concerns online.
TikTok is tracking people’s IMMIGRATION STATUS?

Buddy shoutout to my 5th grade computer lab teacher who put the fear of GOD in all of us 20 fucking years ago about all this shit. MAN was she fucking right.

beautifully written. thank you. you've probably seen this video but the Catholic hierarchy is, if anything, further down the track
Pope Leo ally Cardinal Tobin of New Jersey urged Catholics to lobby to defund ICE/DHS as "lawless organization" on a Zoom call with hundreds on Sunday night. Explicitly compares the moral necessity of resistance now to resistance against fascism.🧵1/

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)
Perry: Abolish ICE? How about DHS altogether.
"We have models for how to structure federal immigration oversight that doesn't rely on an unaccountable masked secret police force running rampant in our streets," David M. Perry writes.

You can chafe at people calling them the "secret police" or you can insist they stayed masked and anonymous while they take facial-rec photos of citizens. Can't do both
It's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.

This is what I've been saying. Hitler threw crumbs to the people and improved their lives (it wasn't hard because the depression hit them harder than the rest of the world. Giving them food was an improvement) so that when he took rights, it went unnoticed.

Trump's done the exact opposite.
Someone on TikTok had a great point: Hitler was able to consolidate power and kill millions because the German people overwhelmingly supported him.

Trump doesn’t have that kind of support among Americans. A majority oppose MAGA and millions of activists are derailing his plans.

Keep fighting!

Taking a break for the exciting snow shovel coverage to check in with the dog.

How does she feel about all this snow?

She's a big fan obviously. Can't get enough of the stuff.

Firing a few key faces at the top while maintaining the the fundamental system is one of the most common appeasement tactics in history.

Don't settle for Bovino. Don't settle for Noem. Don't settle for Miller.

ICE must be abolished. That is the bare minimum.

Belief is so different than scientific proof. Florida is trying to set a dangerous precedent for the nation and this bill must be stopped.
1. A new Florida bill would make it illegal for State, County, and Local employers and special districts from firing transphobes.

It would apply to airports, hospitals, even parts of Disneyworld.

It also establishes a private business "don't say gay" policy.
