When you focus on the regular people showing up magnificently in all of their flawed beauty, it helps you to keep going.

For my out-of-state friends wanting to help Minneapolis, Sanctuary Supply Depot is a grassroots mutual aid effort to support unhoused folks here. They take cash as well as in-kind donations: linktr.ee/sanctuarysup...

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

Oh neat. They're using chemical weapons on American civilians that we condemn when other governments do the same on their own citizens.

Federal agents allegedly drive off with baby in car after father detained in Cypress Park raid The father, who is a U.S. citizen, was detained for allegedly throwing rocks at agents. He says agents then drove off in his car, with his 1-year-old daughter in the backseat.

I'm sorry ... but this not crazy to you?????

Meanwhile, in Iran.

One of the biggest reasons for the uprising in Iran right now, as far as I can tell: water.

Only ~8% of the nation's water goes to people for drinking, bathing, etc. And even that's getting cut off.

you are struck by the general contrast between these heads

ICE Arrested Dozens of Refugees in Minnesota and Sent Them to Texas, Lawyers Say

Okay maybe this has been reported other places but this is the first time I’ve seen this ICE attack explained: tldr - the administration removed policies that inherently made people who were in the country legally no longer legal, essentially creating illegal immigrants who can’t get documents

one of my who's is the sun, they aren't kidding about doing a morning vitamin D walk within first hour of waking-- a practice of interbeing

U.S. Attacked Boat With Aircraft That Looked Like a Civilian Plane

"The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first attack on a 'drug boat,' killing 11 ... the laws of armed conflict prohibit combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then killing them. That is a war crime."

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.

One thing I’d like to see is my senators and governor every day on tv at 5pm holding a press conference with video of every documented abuse that ICE is doing. Curate all of the witnessing we’re doing and show it to the press.

man these Baltimore potholes are ROUGH this winter for anyone with a non-SUV normal ass car

People have been asking, how do you get ICE to leave? These folks did it, documenting as they figured out what to do in real time. Watch the whole thing.

A 35 year old letter to the editor, written by a very ballsy 15 year old, about the Rodney King verdict.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.

lol, did not know this story (hi from Sarah D)

there’s a lot of not getting scared of crowd control shit in these clips

A woman on IG has been making videos of immigrant lines at the U.S. Mexico borders…full of Americans standing in line to get affordable dental care in Mexico.

It’s sublime counter programming.
