IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS: TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION "Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

"Abolish ICE so Minneapolis can go back to making puppets and fucking in the streets."

From the city that gave you "Make the golf course a public sex forest..."

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

LORD, I SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR OTHER PEOPLE

For Liam.

A stack of thin pink books that say OBSTETRIX * NAOMI KRITZER on the spine

HEY I AM DOING A FUNDRAISER FOR MINNESOTA RENT FUNDS

THAT'S RIGHT YOU CAN HELP MINNESOTA FAMILIES AND MAYBE GET A FREE EARLY SIGNED COPY OF MY BOOK

“[this apparent absurdity of this dismissal] represents the court's committed effort to faithfully apply the dictates of the Supreme Court to the charges in this case. The law must be the court's only concern."

is a hell of a subtweet by the judge

Who Was at the ‘Melania’ Premiere?

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: Trump takes over the Kennedy Center, illegally slaps his name on it, and uses the venue to premiere a film about his wife—a film, directed by an accused rapist, that is a gift from the founder of Amazon, who wants to avoid regulation and is firing a fuckton of reporters.

We already have a warrant requirement. It's called the US Constitution. If that's not fucking binding them, what the hell does your little agreement mean?

by popular request i have turned the meme into a blog post, which explains how it works, links to the template file and includes a selection of examples from the thread

"I reject your question" is one I'm adding to my everyday vocabulary.

What is Nick Shirley? Slop doesn’t need to be AI-generated

The violent occupation of Minneapolis started with a vlog. I've wanted to find a framework to describe Nick Shirley & others like him: "Influencer" is too quaint. "Journalist" is obviously wrong.

I landed on "slopagandist."

ICE has killed 9 folks in the first 26 days of ‘26:

• Alex Pretti
• Renee Good
• Keith Porter
• Heber Sanchaz Domínguez
• Victor Manuel Diaz
• Parady La
• Luis Beltran Yanez-Cruz
• Luis Gustavo Nunez Caceres
• Geraldo Lunas Campos

They all deserve justice. And for us to remember their names.

here's a sketch I made in early 2025 that I never finished

I’m a Bodega Cat, and I Guess I’m in Charge Now? Dear Customers: Some humans (I think? Hard to tell) in masks and vests showed up this morning and took Manny and Kumal away. As you may have notice...

"I would like nothing more than to return to my little bed and leave the actual work to the Mannys and Kumals of the world. Maybe you all should have thought of that before you decided to vote in the goons intent on ripping out the spine of this country."

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

A closely cropped nude of my torso, with just the hint of pubic hair peeking into frame on the right. There is a faintly visible bruise from a bite on the arc of my hip.

Jonathan Ross, the agent who murdered Renée Good, is a firearms trainer for ICE. He lives in Minnesota. He has been with the agency for a decade.

The issue is not a lack of training.
The issue is not out-of-state personelle.
The issue is fundamental to ICE & CBP.

The formula here is a lot simpler than finding an old hippie.

If you want to organize ICE Watch or grocery distributions, Signal is fine.

If you want to organize the kind of thing where even discussing it is a crime, in person only, in extremely small groups where you trust every single person.

for example

One of the best organizers I know in the Twin Cities has a great line, "We can't always take away the hurt, but we can take away the alone."

There’s a form to submit your own Love Note.

Love Notes

i havent shut off the notification for this form and it has just been vibrating every minute in my hand.

just a steady beat.

every great laker has a little switch in the back of their head and if you flip it they decide they only get to go to lutheran heaven if they kill a plantation owner and the more plantation owners they kill the more lutheran the heaven they get to go to becomes

rethuglicans commonly look at the upper midwest and go “oh there’s a ton of germans there of course they’ll be That Kind of german”

wrong bitch. we all came over in the 1860s and immediately signed up to kill slavers

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
