Did you know that The Limerick in Chains has a poem in it that was just nominated for a Rhysling Award?

Now you do.

For those of you who grew up after 9/11, we got along just fine without a Department of Homeland Security for 212 years.

The DHS was formed to try to prevent future terror attacks — now, it is orchestrating them.

We're each allowed 5 noms. I'm happy to chat about favorites you should check out, or your can find your own!

You don't have to know about poetry to nominate. You just need to know you liked the poem.

300 nominations is an achievable number.

We have no idea why it didn't post automatically, but it's up now.

Mike A. Rhodes brings us a story of that quiet time when everything is changing. "Migrations."

Marimar Martinez was shot by Border Patrol five times.

DHS accused her of being a domestic terrorist.

She went to court to get the body cam footage released.

It shows Agent Charles Exum driving with his gun drawn.

Saying “do something b*tch”.

Ramming her car.

Shooting her.

It shows DHS lied.

A screenshot of People Over Papers’ ICE reporting map. The map resets at 4 am ET every day. In Minnesota, over 100 reports have been filed today, with the overwhelming majority in and around the Twin Cities. Stay safe. Fuck ICE.

Still around 100 community reports of ICE activity around the Twin Cities today, the most of any state by far.

In case you’re wondering why so many of us aren’t quite taking Homan’s presser today at face value.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.

Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

This is a good time to call your senators to prevent the erosion of voting rights

El Monte police video shows moments before federal agents shatter activist's car window El Monte police video captures the moments leading up to federal agents shattering an activist's car window while she sat crying in the driver's seat.

Meanwhile, in Southern California, local law enforcement backing up ICE shattering a U.S. citizen's car window and detaining her for legally observing ICE activities.

ICE watchers, please stay vigilant. ICE kidnappings have not stopped in other places that ICE has "left."

Abolishing DHS is the priority.

Hugo nominations are open.

Here's a list of what we published that is eligible:

Video of the ICE-kidnapping victim under a sheet. You will also hear the officer say he saw them moving. I am inclined to believe the person was alive.

Remember, there are 535 people with the power to stop this. Keep the pressure on them.

Friends in ICE-occupied areas: Please keep posting your experiences.

It is difficult for us to know what is real and what is misinformation. The mainstream media isn't covering your situation any more. When you—someone we know—posts, we believe it and can share.

That's how we'll keep pressure on.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Today from Hell Itself, @chasej.xyz brings us magic, scandal, and technological changes in "OPINION: Ragnar Is a Disgrace to the Wizarding Community, but He Was Right by Frederico the Frozen"

So here's the thing: Congress absolutely has not only the power but also the responsibility to shut this shit down.

I will not be moved by pieces about how deeply our representatives care.

I will only be moved by their actions.

That is true regardless of party affiliation.

Remember, the media wants to move on.

The fight MUST continue.

I thought we were closer in age than that!

I can say it worked for those who were six years old in 1978.

TOMORROW: Get trained on the tools you need to exercise your constitutional right to monitor ICE and other federal agencies as they terrorize our communities.

Over 200,000 people joined last week’s ICE watch training. Let’s make this call even bigger: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

I keep arguing: there are 5 ways to fight fascism:

1) 3.5% in the streets
2) Peel off 8 Reps or 4 Sens
3) Rescue Trump catastrophe
4) Win in the courts
5) Win in November

If you've foresworn 2-5, fine. Then put everything into 1.

Immigration agents draw guns, arrest activists following them in Minneapolis Immigration officers with guns drawn arrested some activists who were trailing their vehicles Tuesday in Minneapolis.

While Congress grandstands, federal agents continue to threaten the lives of everyday Minnesotans.

If you are staff for @georgewhitesides.bsky.social @schiff.senate.gov or @padilla.senate.gov, please make sure they've read this.

You what would REALLY own the libs?

If the Republican Party introduced the articles of impeachment and the bill to eliminate DHS.

Just sayin'

Looking good! 🪞😺

Abolish DHS.

'Turn in your neighbors, and life will be better for you.'

Logic circa 1930s Germany, now DHS policy.
