Your friend CJ

For those not in #Minnesota, please know that the remaining 2300 agents on the ground have redoubled their efforts at terrorizing the citizenry.

Oh look, exactly what we said was going to happen when Schumer caved on the shutdown

Spanberger is a moderate Democrat who used to work for the C.I.-fucking-A. It should put the actions of Schumer and Jeffries into perspective for everyone. Are they Republicans? Because they sure act like it.

They need to get the fuck out.

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

You betcha. (That's Minnesotan for yes, we are.)

always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post

Schumer Accused of 'Downright Complicity' as ICE Reform Plan Draws Backlash | Common Dreams "With Trump’s ICE murdering our neighbors, kidnapping children, and terrorizing our streets, do Senate Democrats want to be remembered as fighters or as complicit?" asked one advocate.

🧵Powerfully stated.

Schumer has already pre-positioned us into a negotiating position of irrelevance by giving a list of such weak, unenforceable, and ineffective "demands" that would do little to nothing even if ICE did give 100% compliance.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.

Sir. Democrats want to abolish ICE. Republicans who are trying to drag the party right because the right has gone full nazi want what you're peddling. All of DHS has been a joke since 2003, and it should be dismantled completely, starting with ICE.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

Lol had to find out what Gaiman is up to from folks outside of MN. Apparently we're busier than usual these days (my dude, go away, we CAN also be mad at you right now, but we shouldn't have to).

That means ~815k Minnesotans participated in the shutdown and ~310k in the strike. That would make Minnesota’s January 23 general strike one of the largest in history.

It really bums me out that Klobuchar, who was instrumental in normalizing Trump as just another political adversary, is almost certainly going to be the next governor of Minnesota, a state currently paying a severe price for that normalization of fascism.

Minnesota folks: if you know someone who needs a flight to MSP after being detained in Texas, standwithminnesota.com has collected donated SkyMiles to help them get home -- spread the word!

We are just Like This.

Dear Mr. Chappelle, if you don't support ALL of us, you don't support any of us. Apologize to my trans neighbors or stay the fuck out.

Just because we have a violent and unaccountable government disappearing the regime's enemies doesn't actually make Minnesota part of Saudi Arabia, does he know that?

You know one way you could help with that, Governor?

This place is super close to me. So proud of my neighbors.

Hours after I first posted this article, I was told that several VA nurses who are members of AFGE will attend the union’s annual legislative conference in Washington next week to raise the issue of kicking the National Border Patrol Council out of AFGE and the AFL-CIO. I hope they succeed.

@dfl.org censure your idiot colleagues when they do this shit. Put it on the record.

“The frog is accused of rabble-rousing. The National Guard is deployed to subdue the frog. You try to turn off the stove. Twenty masked men in body armor hit you with rubber bullets and tear gas.”

This was published last June.

And ... not to belabor the obvious, but the fact that these X pleas for applicants come from the people who brought you "we only care about MERIT." Good luck getting smart and talented candidates who can pass the "I am Loyal to Dear Leader" litmus test.

Protest sign from MN that says, “DEARLY BELOVED. WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY TODISMANTLE THIS THING CALLED ICE.” with a picture of Prince in the left hand lower corner.

I cannot stress enough to people who are not from Minneapolis that the news you have seen in the past week about things calming, and messaging from our electeds at *every level higher than City Council* that local agencies will protect us... That's all fucking LIES.

If you are at Bryant Square Park for the rally today, walk up 32nd street towards Colfax and grab a warm up.

From @miracmn.bsky.social, @tcc4j.bsky.social & PACAT:

Join us for a march and rally starting at 1pm at Bryant Square park in Minneapolis. We demand an end to police and ICE collaboration! Justice for Renee Good, Alex Pretti, Keith Porter, Philando Castile, Ricky Cobb II and all stolen lives!
