I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.

Advising someone on fundraising for community rent support.

There are 67,000 people in MPLS facing eviction in March because they can't go to their jobs to make rent money. This is early-covid era levels of potential evictions.

MPLS RENT MORATORIUM NOW.

And if you’re wondering β€œWhy is there a blob in the back?” Well, that’s where the first woman president was supposed to go. More than a century later, it remains unsculpted.

I think it’s time for Democratic leaders to start saying β€œif you’re a pilot or ground crew involved in a deportation that was stayed by a judge, you’ll be held criminally liable for human trafficking.” Everyone involved in these flights should have that fear in the back of their minds.

An incredibly easy metric for dismissing anything anyone says about politics ever again is if they say any variation of β€œAOC could never be elected president, she’s only a congresswoman, we should go with a senator, a thing that’s only happened three times in 250 years”

I was struck by how similar "I am somebody" is to the spoken-word work of Gil Scott-Heron

Turns out, Scott-Heron was very inspired by the Reverend, and gave a canny analysis of Jackson's political philosophy to a reporter β€” from prison! β€” in 2007:

β€˜Daunting but doable’: Europe urged to prepare for 3C of global heating Advisory board member says adapting is β€˜not rocket science’ but Europe already paying price for lack of preparation

This is a terrible headline!
Adapting to a 3C hotter world is not 'daunting but doable'. We need to be doing everything we can to avoid such a catastrophic future, while heavily investing in adaptation.

I often think about the fact that if the FBI et al had not killed Fred Hampton, he would be 78 today. Younger than Jesse Jackson was. Must have felt strange to outlive many of your contemporaries by decades.

Quit complaining about not being able to afford/get RAM. Thousands of the most annoying losers you’ve ever seen need that RAM so they can do a bunch of line break posts calling themselves Builders because they pay for an AI subscription

this is exactly why I am absolutely not willing to overlook anyone who was once β€œadvocating for ending USAID” as merely committing a little oopsie-daisy-booboo, by the way

"What you don't know is that that button message is not just 'ICE is overreaching,' it's not 'Reduce their numbers,' it's not 'Give them more cameras.' It's actually 'Abolish ICE. Dismantle the entire tyrannical agency.'"

New York Fashion Week Joins the β€œICE OUT” Movement: β€œIt Changes Hearts and Minds” From designers to front-row regulars, the industry is rallying behind a growing campaign against ICE. Organizers and participants tell β€˜Marie Claire’ why this moment matters.

I know people like to dunk on wearing tiny "ICE OUT" pins, but I think they represent a really important culture shift. Even people who are very conscious about their image and expected to perform in a palatable way are wearing them in very public places.

It's odd that the conspiracy theorists unable to stop talking or ever use inside voices for forty+ years are all suddenly so quiet. Because the stuff that's actually happening right now is wild

definitely seems like you're safer from any kind of punishment for being in the Epstein Files than for, say, just to pick two examples totally at random, attending a college protest for Gaza or tweeting that you weren't very sad Charlie Kirk died

Savannah teacher killed in crash by man fleeing from ICE According to the Chatham County Police Department, Monday morning’s fatal crash was the result of a chase between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and a suspect.

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.
