I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Learn how we're protecting donors from deceptive practices ActBlue strengthened existing tools used against organizations that try to deceive people by updating policies to further protect donors.

Are they though? The above text alone violates 2 out of 4 of their “stronger policies” (impersonation and unverified match) and AB’s response is that they are still exploring what to do about it. www.actblue.com/posts/actblu...

Well, you see, they’re just a poor little tech platform, so what could they possibly do?

I think it’s more that opsec culture in US activism needs to get a lot smarter and more strategic about realistically assessing risk (and we need to get better at training people around that)

How One Minnesota Union Is Helping Members Survive the Federal Siege Local 17 is one of many unions, community organizations and faith groups calling for a work stoppage tomorrow, showing a key way Minnesotans are organizing against ICE.

As tomorrow's Minnesota-wide shutdown gathers momentum, here are some of the less visible ways workers and unions are helping each other survive to fight another day, by delivering food to workers hiding in their homes with the lights off. My report from Minneapolis.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional!

ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

Full text: Charter of Trump’s Board of Peace No mention of Gaza, which bolsters ToI's reporting that US also envisions panel helping resolve other conflicts worldwide; member countries must pay $1 billion for permanent spot

This appears to be true. Chairman for life and he gets to pick his successor. So basically he’s created an inheritable noble title for himself.

Jesus, this is horrific. No warrant, broke into a home to beat and abduct someone’s grandpa for the crime of… being Asian.

This is it. And specifically, the play is not over (down by contact) until you complete the process of the catch.

18.01.2026 13:04 — 👍 1    🔁 0    💬 0    📌 0

No, it’s an element of completing the process of the catch. There can’t be a simultaneous catch until there’s a… catch.

Yeah, I mean that’s just not what the rule is though. You have to survive the ground, and you can tell in this case he didn’t because the ball ends up in the defenders hands.

If the defender punched it out instead, would you say it was a fumble or incomplete?

In this clip from a longer interview, she says while she was in detention, agents called Renee Good a “lesbian b*tch.”

This video belongs to @statuscoupnews.bsky.social and I’ll take it down if they want me to.

Ok, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Apologies to the literally dozens of people I've lifted from... I want to do a fully credited version, but I'm sitting here sobbing and, well, maybe you'll feel some release, too.
