From a Comrade 19h. C One of the nuts things about organizing in the Twin Cities right now is that even the most long term organizers who've been here for decades can't keep track of all the resistance that is going on. There are so many self-organized crews just doing work that in any conversation with someone from another neighborhood you might stumble over a whole collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers taking cars of detained people away for free. People delivering food to families in hiding. So many local rapid response groups that the number is uncertain but somewhere between 80 and the low hundreds- especially when one considers that several immigrant communities have their own non-English rapid response networks usually uncounted in the main English-language directories. People standing watch outside daycares and schools. This whole resistance has so many poles of initiative and leadership, so many layers of self-organization, that it's extraordinarily difficult for the state to repress or for opportunists be they Democrats or movement-riding parties) to co-opt and control. Of course, that's built up through many years and decades of organization, and not only through explicitiv political campaigns or formations built during times of crisis and rupture like 2020. It is also built through day-to-day mutual aid, culture building, workplace and tenant organizing, and simple, basic relationship building among neighbors and coworkers here.

message from MN

do you not understand how an interview works

🙄

Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet

Gotta keep your head on a swivel around those two. I will say HuffPost used to do a pod about what it’s like to lose an election and her episode was oddly affecting.

This is the guy who nerfed Tumblr’s usage with the porn ban btw.

Oh wow! For me it was Jill Stein. Utter dipshit.

he will get to spend more time with his loved ones (empty bottles of alcohol)

love a good primary

this will matter a great deal to me on 2/28

ICE detainees from Maine being held under ‘inhumane’ conditions in Mass. facility, attorneys say An Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said the allegations of overcrowding and lack of access to lawyers are false.

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

The man cooked with this one.

another county heard from!

kthx

When Will Democrats Decide to Join the Resistance? The party needs to forge a closer connection with the people fighting for democracy in the streets. Here’s how to do it.

I wrote about ways to bridge the gap between the national party and the civil resistance.

We truly live in a Mad Lib

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance. But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain. He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again. He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

RIP Sonny Jorgensen; growing up in the area the pro move for football watching was to mute the tv broadcast and have the radio on instead

to borrow a phrase from @greene.haus, Rosa doesn't know what time it is

Nice to see the Nazi bar thread play out in real life

I have such deep, deep animosity for being told what is possible right now. my tennis club, my neighborhood sex shop, my daycare group text, and my local cafe have all ceased normal operations and been turned into thriving mutual aid hubs in the last 3 weeks. how about I tell you what’s possible?

DeLauro to pressing clergy: 'I will not vote to abolish ICE' The Connecticut U.S. representative found herself at odds with faith leaders.

I like Rosa DeLauro a lot. when I was around her while working in Congress she was really thoughtful and kind to me personally. all of which makes this extremely disappointing. this is not remotely good enough. www.ctpublic.org/news/2026-02...
