Facebook plans to put facial recognition in its glasses and they think we’re too stupid to fight back.
Their internal memo: “We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns.”

In my less hard hit northern suburb I have seen so many cars destroyed with every airbag deployed while out running errands. Prior to January I had never seen that before. They drive like maniacs because fascism is a suicide cult for assholes.
There are so very many things that are fucked up about how things are in Minnesota right now and it is hard to tell what the outside world knows about.
The street blockades may seem odd . . . if you haven't seen the way ICE & CBP drive.

Tim Walz doesn't have to win an election because he already quit, and so far he's used the gently chaotic freedom that decision grants him to *checks notes* let fascism run rampant while the rest of us scrape together whatever we can spare to help keep people housed and fed. Unforgivable cowardice.

that is to say, there is no neat and universal mutual exclusion between "masked members of a black bloc" and "the local you know who is looking after their neighbour". sometimes, oftentimes even, these are the same person

The most important thing for people outside of Minneapolis to understand about 'The Uprising' in 2020 after MPD murdered George Floyd is that, despite deep civil unrest, the political system—the DFL, law enforcement, and news media, etc.—made sure nothing changed.

An (I’m assuming unpopular) thought I have been having is the importance of centering immigrants and refugees in our stories of this moment.
When we center the stories of only observers, we get milquetoast.
Do you know who is brave? The mom who is terrified to go to work accepting help.

I haven't looked at whatever Amy Klobuchar did to get everyone mad yet, so I'm gonna guess she see if I'm right.
Most likely: she voted to give ICE more money
Less likely: She took credit in some way for the massive mutual aid project that's holding Minnesota together.

abolish DHS, abolish borders
The danger of abolishing ICE without broader changes, says @jesspish.bsky.social, is that the agency's personnel and functions would just be moved to other parts of the government. The real key, she says, is to stop arresting and detaining so many people as part of immigration policy.

We're on our own. We know that. And so we help when help is needed.
