Oh btw ICE activity today at Whipple was fucking nuts. Large convoys of masked agents leaving every so often with a constant stream of single ICE vehicles in between.

This 'drawdown' was clearly just a brief hiatus to pacify liberals and get bourgeois media/politicians to completely lose interest.

BREAKING: We're suing Kansas for a law that invalidates transgender people's updated driver's licenses and authorizes anyone to sue anyone they suspect of being trans for using the "wrong" bathroom.

One of my favorite shows regarding visual storytelling! The artists really know how to pace scenes, do music and sound effects, visual focus for a while, etc

its gobsmacking to me that people can look at our situation and think the problem is the democrats are receiving *too much* criticism

Kansas Revokes IDs for 1,000+ Transgender Residents Under New State Law More than 1,000 transgender Kansas residents have had their driver's licenses and birth certificates invalidated under a new state law that took effect Thursday. The legislation requires gender marker...

It was never about protecting cisgen women and girls. This law strips transgender adult male and females of their right to pursue liberty.

How Brothel Workers in Nevada Just Made Labor History The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch were staring down a horrifying new contract. So they did what workers everywhere do: They got organized.

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast.

They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

Trayvon Martin should be in his thirties. He should be getting somewhere in his career, finding his art, meeting a partner, finally knowing himself really well.

He deserved all those things. He deserved protection.

I have long covid now, and me/cfs with it. Unfortunately, I've had to learn how to pace myself when I am doing fun hobbies too 😅 it's certainly difficult to stop yourself from doing something fun now because it'll cause burnout or a health flare and impact your ability to do it more overall 😅

So true. It's also so difficult to fight against all the influences pushing you towards burnout. Typically, the only one who cares about you working a reasonable amount and not burning out at the workplace is yourself.

it's not the issue of this story, but it is a transparent example of how the "cars are freedom" narrative is a complete farce. when the state controls your movement and can immobilize you on a whim, you are not free. car dependency is an arm of fascism for the car *IS* fascism and must be abolished.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Even if temporary this cut to Medicaid will result in providers no longer accepting the insurance. People can’t run a business without knowing if, or when, and how much they’ll be paid.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

Your activism will either include sex workers or it will be useless. We can't build a better future by leaving the best of us behind.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

I'm a huge fan of Spyro the Dragon games that Copeland did the music for. I also love Oysterhead. As a non drummer, he's one of the drummers I know the name of 😅

so much of the discourse about depictions of trans women could be sidestepped if u ppl just considered us fucking women lol

German soccer team cancels Minnesota visit due to ICE crackdown Bundesliga side Werder Bremen were planning to visit in May, though no matches were scheduled.

This is what needs to happen.

Cancel the World Cup.

Cancel the Olympics.

Cancel your US vacations.

Refuse to support this regime and refuse to endanger lives.

U.S. Reps Ilhan Omar (D-MN) (R) and Angie Craig (D-MN) speak to press after conducting oversight at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in St Paul, Minnesota.

Angie Craig: "They removed everyone from the ICE facility 30 minutes before we arrived — this is not the intent of the law. DHS is violating the law"

Ilhan Omar: "What happened today is a blatant attempt to obstruct members of Congress from doing their oversight duties"

COVID-19 vaccination status during pregnancy and preeclampsia risk: the pandemic-era cohort of the INTERCOVID consortium COVID-19 vaccination with a booster reduces the odds of PE by 30% approaching 60% reduction among women with pre-existing morbidities.

Remember when RFK Jr. unilaterally decided that COVID19 vaccines should no longer be recommended during pregnancy?

Well, COVID19 increases the risk of preeclampsia.

And it turns out that getting boosted, either before or during pregnancy, significantly reduces the risk of preeclampsia.

The level of anger normal Minnesota people have at their elected representatives is palpable. It's not about party, but the perceived failure of local/state electeds to do anything of substance to protect residents who pay their taxes and get left facing off alone against masked, armed men.

They're trying to make observing/filming ICE illegal.

Then we must show up in greater numbers.

BE UNGOVERNABLE.

‘Please come back’: Minnesota restaurants brace for a long recovery after ICE surge With no official bailout on the horizon, the restaurant community tries to save itself.

Recovery will not happen overnight, but we will rebuild. We can all make an impact by continuing to shop local.

We will help stabilize these businesses, protect jobs, and ensure Minnesota’s economy rebounds.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

On January 10, 2026, while driving back to work after getting lunch with his father and cousin, a car quickly passed O., sped up, then stopped in front of him. (Id. ¶ 3.) A few men in civilian clothes stepped out of the car and asked for his identification. (Id.) The men threatened O.—if he did not get out of the car, they would force him out. (Id.) O. exited the car and was told he was under arrest. (Id.) The men handcuffed him and did not allow him to bring his phone. (Id.) O. felt like he was being kidnapped. (Id.) The men detained O., his father, and his cousin, taking them all to Whipple. (Id. ¶ 4.) At Whipple, there was “food scattered on the floor, the floor was sticky with mud, and everything stuck to your shoes.” (Id. ¶ 5.) The space was so cramped that sometimes there was no space to sit on the floor. (Id.)

The horror stories rolling in from Minnesota are just the tip of the iceberg. This 20-year-old, who's lawfully present in the country, was arrested for being Latino, then jailed in a filthy cell where he couldn't even sit down. 18 days of illegal detention. democracyforward.org/wp-content/u...

They're coming for adult care and they're explicit about it.

I think this applies to a lot of "competitions" 🤷‍♀️ most people entering a 5k or half marathon or something aren't attempting to win it. They just want to finish it / personal best / whatever

Either way, great for you to do for yourself 🥰

On Tuesday, the Minneapolis City Council will be voting on a resolution urging Congress to adopt the Abolish ICE Act and Melt ICE Act.
