Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Fantastic! And thank you.

Thank you for your brilliance

“Andrea.” But when they write me an email I get:
“Dr. Leap,” (inaccurate, only have MM)
“Mrs. Leap,” (also incorrect)
Or my favorite,
“Professor Andrea.”

JUDICIAL WARRANTS are the minimum.

Poverty and religious beliefs.

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

Preach it. I’m happy for this small win; encouraged to keep pressing for a bigger one.

Bovino is just a teeny tiny sacrificial lamb.

Ok, but STILL VOTE NO on funding ICE. Looking at you, Senate Dems.

I assumed it was a McSweeneys yikes

The march is now passing the Chicago city hall / Cook County hall building. The chant goes up,

"Minnesota don't you fear, we, the people, are right here"

Thanks! Right now I’m teaching a class of older adults in the Twin Cities who wanted to learn about protest music and to write their own. This was one of the ideas they discarded but it spoke to me so I set it. We’ve been talking about repetition aiding in getting people to join in, thus the chorus.

Thank you for everything you do/have done for Minnesota! I’m so proud you’re AG!!

I have another one for you if you’re interested: youtu.be/ElFVBvx5wCo?...

We are too, believe me.

It is hard to remain a pacifist in these enraging circumstances.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Also not buying “we’re a non profit it will risk our 503c status” nope you’re just gutless wonders

If Minnesota police are accusing you of racial profiling you must really be outta control

Behind the disturbing image of ICE snatching a half-naked, elderly Hmong American from his home DHS has claimed without evidence that they were looking for someone else when they took ChongLy Scott Thao.

New — I wrote about ChongLy Scott Thao, the elderly Hmong American wrongly arrested and forced out of his home by ICE in his underwear during the punishing Minnesota winter, what witnesses saw, and DHS's racist claim that he fit the description of another Asian man they were looking for.

My story:

If you know me IRL you know I think Minnesota exceptionalism is typically unwarranted but do you know what we are good as fuck at? being outside in the cold. for hours. we'll meet ICE outside no matter what the temp. fucking pussies.

The superior Phantom imho

Agreed, and as you mentioned, partly because they’re so sloppy and bad it mafia-ing. But this is the first time I’ve been scared to go protest. (Although also my foot is in a cast and it’s icy, so it feels unsafe on other levels too.)

From your lips to God’s ears. I remember the high anxiety of May 2020 and this feels uncomfortably similar.

SO annoying and yet every time, surprising somehow

Yeah, that’s…incomplete at best. Classical musicians are trained to be creative within parameters that require more compliance than say, jazz, as the score is a more detailed set of instructions than a chart. It requires a creative interpreter nonetheless.
