“For 280 days we haven’t eaten a single piece of fruit, banana, apple, orange, or anything fresh. We are all in one big room with no doors or windows. We can’t see any grass or trees. We are all constantly sick."

“You’re Not Going to Investigate a Federal Officer” It doesn’t happen often, but local law enforcement can arrest and charge federal agents. Legal experts say there’s a moral obligation to at least try to hold federal immigration officers accountable w...

“Residents have every right and should be demanding that, ‘Hey, state authorities, police, local police: Protect us. Arrest people who kill us, who batter us, who point guns at us and threaten and assault us without legal cause to do so.’”

My musical contribution to the times. It's to the melody of The Rambling Rover, my favorite version of which was done by the late great Andy Stewart.

Feds Identify “Leader of Antifa” The list they're creating says so, anyway

Just when you think it can't get any more batshit crazy, the sun comes up again.

That means ~815k Minnesotans participated in the shutdown and ~310k in the strike. That would make Minnesota’s January 23 general strike one of the largest in history.

Please allow people to work from home and have an eviction moratorium. These two things can help people suffering a lot more than calls for this to end.

The group bike ride for Alex Pretti is about to depart in Minneapolis, stopping at his memorial, then Renee Good’s, and finishing at the VFW. If you can join, hop on anywhere. It’s a warm 17° & sunny!

I’ve never seen this many cyclists for a group ride. ⚡️✊🏽⚡️🚲⚡️✊🏽⚡️ #RIPPretti

if you feel like passing around a link today and helping fundraise for rent that will actually get paid today (and in the next few days for families who have a grace period) you can send here.

we will be going hard all day. i won’t be posting about it because I don’t want to flood your feeds.

The French had a better solution back in the day.

Who wore it better?

18 people demonstrating out in the cold this evening in Sandstone, MN...Stauber country.

CNN in Minneapolis: We are seeing thousands and thousands of people, we've been standing on the corner here for the past ten minutes. This this crowd has not let up. It's just continuous.

WOW! 👏Philly DA Larry Krasner:
“This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis in a country of 350 million. We outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will. We will find you. We will achieve justice.”

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.

But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

With so much info flying around, just want to uplift this link to specific calls-to-action from a coalition of *Minnesota* immigrant rights orgs: iceoutnowmn.com

(resharing without the image; that's a longer conversation but the link is still worth amplifying)

So they'll take footage. They'll never release it. So we know who kills another US citizen or deports a child. They're won't be any recourse or punishment, only pardons. This is like like dabbing with a hanky after you shat yourself. How about "release the Epstein Files and shut down DHS"?

Another corporate Clinton-style democrat who can't seem to read the emotional tone of the room. If it's her or Mike Lindell, I'll vote for her. Otherwise...any. other. liberal.

Also don't pretend secrecy can truly protect you. We are citizens, not MI5/CIA/KGB. Musk liberated so much personal info during DOGE purges that you're already on a list. And that's another thing: Let's all get on the list. When we're all on the list what will they do?

Pete Stauber: Had you 1/100th of the bravery & conviction of Ilhan Omar, you'd pull your turtle head out of Trump's ass & answer some questions. Quit selling us out. Get your grubby hands off the Boundary Waters. Dismantle DHS, remove Noem, Miller, and the rest, and get in line with the state.

Even in Minnesota's hinterlands the organizing strengthens. Took part in a marvelous training and community building call last night and I'm energized. Every step leads us closer to the mountain top.

Seeing as how he's a 2nd gen Italian immigrant couldn't we call him Il Douche?
