In an Irish context this was called β€˜felon setting’; a favourite tactic of Dublin Castle to punish via RIC/DMP visits to employers & landlords. But after #EasterRising Irish Times eagerly leaped to print detailed lists leaked to them, not realising how this would soon be a roll of honour #spΓ©irgorm

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.

I don’t know if this will cheer you up, but the conference I’m attending wanted to donate a portion of their profits to an org in Minneapolis, so I sent them to your website.

Because of you, the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund will be receiving $2000. ❀️

every Signal chat of laypeople is losing their minds over the wildest opsec advice imaginable and every Signal chat of security professionals is like β€œdude wtf”

The vast majority of problems can be avoided by not being foolish, being aware of your surroundings, and using common sense

The Boss’ song is lovely, but this one made me cry and feel very seen.

But Bruce gets a big high five for pronouncing Nicollet right!

The Democratic Party leadership's failure to honestly and with integrity propose any policy solutions that will address these issues is a moral and strategic catastrophe.

Super normal night where you hear a helicopter that’s not even making loops and isn’t on radar. And even more normal that there’s not a single plane flying over the city πŸ™ƒ

Oh no, my neighbors will know? You mean those people I went to the vigil with on Saturday? Or the ones who picked up whistles from my house? Or do you mean the ones I met with to talk about how to start a mutual aid fund?

I did celebrate her, but I take your point. My gut reaction on seeing her reflex was β€œbeing ready to throw down and keep things moving has been conditioned into her by a lifetime of being treated abhorrently”

If there was ever a tag yourself…I’m at least a couple of these. Glad I meet their stereotype!

Christin is a dear friend and I'm so glad she's running for School Board. No one will stand for Minneapolis Public Schools, the students, the teachers, the families, like she will. Christin has literally been on the front lines fighting the ICE occupation for them. I'm proud to support her candidacy

I’ve know Christin for 15 years, since our babies went to preschool together. She’s been a tireless, passionate advocate for her community for as long as I’ve known her. She’s also brave af and speaks up even when it could cost her. You couldn’t hope for a better school board member!

Yup! I even had a friend in NYC who was lefty (and is today, thankfully) but had a terrifying bloodlust post-9/11. We both lived in Brooklyn and I was shocked by how different our reactions were.

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek

I think a lot of people were, but it was also established when most people were at their least rational about their sense of safety. The Shock Doctrine covers this very well.
