He is driven by appetite, devouring endlessly. Whether it’s real estate, gold, fast food, applause and adulation, crypto, women’s bodies, Venezuelan oil, or Greenland, he has demonstrated that he will never stop himself; he can only be stopped by others.

Shabbat Shalom to the 100+ rabbis who joined clergy in Minneapolis today to say:

Jews stand with our neighbors. We want ICE out of Minnesota, out of NYC, and out of all our communities.

Left the office and a massive anti ICE protest walking across 23rd.

It is scary to be living through this history. Be on the right side of it.

Walker Art Center joins growing list of organizations closing on Jan. 23 "This reflects our institutional values to center our community, support our staff, and to approach our work with care and safety in mind," a representative says.

oh man, the Walker Art Center is going to be closed on Friday

(If you're not from the Twin Cities, this is like MoMA closing in support of a general strikeβ€”a very big deal)

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

they’re also useful against chemical weapons like tear gas, and, to some extent, pepper spray.

George Washington swearing an oath of allegiance to the United States and rejecting "any allegiance or obedience" to King George III. Courage, people.

In Denmark, you get free healthcare, free university education, a solid state pension and 5-star public transport.

The USA have people going bankrupt to pay medical fees, many with huge student loan debts and ICE terror on top of it all.

If you were from Greenland - who would you choose?

Part of knowing US history is knowing about the genocide of native peoples, the slave trade, the failure of reconstruction, etc.

Another part is knowing about John Brown, the IWW, the 1934 San Fransisco General Strike, and others who worked against the above.

It’s horrible Connie. Our state is under secret police rule right now & it’s out of control. (It’s -45 windchill this morning, I hope those MF’ers freeze their ball sacks off. Nazi pieces of sh*t.) Hopeful today’s general strike makes a dent. Corporate America needs to acknowledge what’s happening.

Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since.

That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

After Bluesky officially verified ICE account I decided to quit this place for good, and just move to Mastodon. But then I realized I can just move off Bluesky servers to 3rd party providers. So I am back πŸ™‚

Elon Musk’s companies are disasters waiting to happen.

This approach like his Tesla products are reckless and could end up harming not just people, but global infrastructure.
