Lawmaker will demand opposition follow the already existing law as a precondition of funding their gestapo and concentration camps

Noting that’s without windchill. Welcome to Minnesota!

Can confirm.

Abuser logic. “Look what you made me do.”

Black folks and immigrants have long lived in a "perogative state" when it comes to law enforcement, and maybe pundits at the largest national outlets should recognize that their past support for punitive policing and immigration enforcement laid the groundwork for the current moment.

We don't need Greenland. We need healthcare. We need living wages. We need democracy. We need equality and a real justice system. We need freedom from Russian influence. We need a president who isn't a felon rapist determined to watch his opponents burn.

I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.

I hear that, but the violence we're seeing now is nothing compared to what Stephen Miller wants to unleash on U.S. cities; I think Walz struck the right note

n.b. Leavitt is all over YouTube right now accusing Walz of 'fueling violence against ICE agents.'

(I agree he should get out there tho)

is this real life

ICE agents eat at small-town Mexican restaurant — then detain workers “Would your mama be proud of you right now?” a bystander said as agents returned at closing time to nab the workers.

Instead of tipping them,
the “grab & go Gestapo” kidnapped their servers. 🤬

literally the villain in every movie ever

hi, political philosopher here! this is not funny, central banks only do this when they're in extreme distress

Sigh. The NPR national news brief at the top of the hour mentioned the shooting and simply cited the DHS statement.

An eye witness says an ICE agent shot a woman several times in the face through her windshield this morning near Minneapolis. They said she was trying to turn her car around.

This is what happens when you give every chucklefuck with a punisher sticker a badge.

Eyewitnesses are reporting that ICE just murdered a woman—a US Citizen—in cold blood in Minneapolis.

Set up a local protest this Saturday, at a Citgo or Chevron gas station near you. Toolkit includes flyers and more goodies. #Hoosiers #RiseUp

Mumble. Grumble. Complain. Wallow. Hope. Despair. Worry. ACT! Best cure for the doldrums is standing outside with your neighbors at a Chevron/Citgo gas station this Saturday and spreading the good word: We are the Many. They are the Few.

Host toolkit: bit.ly/chevroncitgo

Politicians can and should be interested in the problems affecting regular people, their constituents. How did we all forget this

A view of the majestic Grand Tetons from the Snake River overlook. The jagged mountains are glowing pink from a sunrise. I got my ass up 4 days in a row at 0 dark:30 for this pic and am still not pleased there were no clouds in the sky. Other days there was nothing but clouds obscuring the view. The best thing about getting up that early in a national park is all the wildlife you see at that time of day. That was magical for 4 days. This park is overshadowed by Yellowstone which is a mere hour north, but I personally enjoyed it far more. Floated down the Snake River one day and that was simply glorious.

As long as there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free. - Eugene Debs

More than 150 aircraft were involved, we don’t (yet) know how much ordinance was used yet on how many sites. The NYT reported a three story civilian apartment building was hit, and local press reports helicopters firing on several civilian neighborhoods.

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

No Blood For Oil vs. Exactly How Much Oil Are We Talking About?

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

Chavez in 2009, while being labelled as paranoid, outlines exactly what is happening today.

May Day Strong is calling on every elected official to take a stand - they should work for us, not greedy Big Oil billionaires. Is it enough? No. But it's not nothing either.

Zohran’s inauguration brimmed w/the energy that NYC is “a shining beacon of possibility” per @jumaane.bsky.social.

Amidst the darkness of authoritarianism, inequality & hate, we have a chance to show what’s possible.

That’s always been our mission as New Yorkers—it was profoundly renewed today.

There's been a few books on how the CIA influenced lit during the red scare years and Iowa was involved- when I taught there that was well known and talked about. But the proliferation of MFA culture, I think, has done the most damage to working class literature in our current era. Classism, etc.
