Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

I think when Death Cab for Cutie becomes your cardio music it’s probably time to increase your Lexapro dose.

there's this new dynamic where the DOJ cannot win in court and is (relatedly) incapable of meeting the minimum threshold of professional legal conduct, and so an increasing percentage of its actions are purely for intimidation and content

Georgia Fort, an independent journalist and vice president of the Minnesota NABJ chapter, was also arrested by federal agents this morning

I was sent this video of agents at her door:

As others have aptly pointed out, police forces have been murdering people for a long time, especially POC. This terrorism from ICE is only a continuation and newest version of what we have been seeing for a long time.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

Minneapolis protester as he's being brutalized by feds: "You're gonna have to kill me! You're gonna have to kill me! I've done nothing wrong! My name is Matthew James! I'm a US citizen! You're gonna kill me! Is that what you want?" (You can hear his wife screaming)

Patagonia sues drag queen ‘Pattie Gonia’ claiming ‘irreparable harm’ “The harm Pattie Gonia has caused and will cause to the Patagonia brand is irreparable,” according to the lawsuit.

What the hell @patagonia.com? There's no way their drag name would cause confusion under the Lanham act. This is purely vindictive.

I'll keep shopping at The North Face instead and I suggest others find a different brand.

What if we just stopped paying taxes? Where there's a will there (might) be a way.

New in PN: What if we just stopped paying taxes?

"Like many other blue states, Minnesota pays more to the federal government than it takes in. But why should the state continue to subsidize a government bent on destroying it? What if it just … didn’t?"

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed.

Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

Seriously, @people.com has been meeting the moment better than 90% of publications with direct reporting and crystal clear headlines.

This is a good way for the low-information voters who are usually detached from the news cycle to get turned around.

A dozen plus reporters at the stadium to cover the signing of a multimillionaire.

Not one single reporter covered how the Tours union was successfully busted today.

Baseball labor isn’t just about the players.

I’m sad for all of the employees supported by the economic collapse of sports but I hope every single owner and sports exec who happily helped drag us to hell for lower taxes ends up losing their shirts when sports collapse.

this crystallizes why, despite truly heroic solidarity and activism, i can’t quite get in the “we’re going to win” mindset right now. the harm is so active and there’s so much violence we don’t even know about. people are being turned into ghosts.

If you work for ice please understand that your kids will laugh at a character based on you dying in an action movie before the end of the decade. They’ll be in movies for really little kids. Like Phineas and Ferb shit. There will be an action figure of you with a detachable head
