Truly something that I think anytime I watch movies now. Nobody sweats!

Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI How ICE is an arm of capital example No 7,893: a man who's lived in the US for 20yrs was targeted because he was a labor organizer who fought, among other injustices, against wage theft. He had helped workers-documented and not documented— recover $6M and now he's in a cage in NM Sarah Lazare @sarahlazare. 1h Federal agents abducted Eustaquio Orozco Verdusco, an organizer known in Minnesota for fighting wage theft and labor trafficking.

#AbolishICE

We’re fixing brake lights this weekend in the Central West End! Broken taillights are a frequent excuse for police traffic stops so we’re keeping each other safe from unnecessary police stops.

If you want to volunteer to replace bulbs or check people in, RSVP here: stldsa.link/brake-light-...

There were bombings done by suffragettes. I think that when it comes to those movements they had both direct action and underground violent action that caused people in power to come to the table with folks because if your options are negotiate or violence it’s better than negotiating or not.

The institution itself is inherently violent. Incentivizing not using deadly force won’t change the fact ICE’s job is to forcibly remove people from their communities and homes. As said in the piece, we just accept that we have institutions like ICE that can kill people. Let’s just Abolish ICE

I love the idea that Dems controlled the White House and access to these documents for 4 years. Even though they had proof of trump being a treasons pedophile, for some reason, they didn’t think that was relevant information to share? I know blaming Cold War enemies is comfortable but come on.

The cool thing about my apartment building is that the snow by all is the doors is yellow as fuck from all of the dog piss. Really gives you the chance to step back and think about all of the pissing we do

I think you still see them as failures but you talk about obamas post presidency maybe a little different. Not quite on the level of Jimmy Carters post presidency but closer to him

new QAA pod just dropped

huge turnout in stl despite 15 degree weather - @thegiantjake.bsky.social doin it big

📹 NEW from KSDK News: hundreds of people in St. Louis marched to Enterprise Center on Wednesday and dropped a banner to demand Enterprise end *every* contract it has with ICE!

It’s the playbook of fascism. “We are the strong and powerful who were born to inherent the earth. But we can’t do it unless these (insert contradictory stereotypes) group are removed from society” the Nazis said both that jews controlled the world but were also weak rodents that poison bloodlines

Buddy is about to fuck around and reinvent MKUltra

I’ll say the differences between America now and the axis powers (they were never the singular global super power that financially backed all global trade, never had military bases in a majority of countries virtually acting as their army, and didn’t have nukes) makes it a worse situation

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Here’s how I feel about it. If a service member truly stood up and said “I’m not going to do this.” I think he would be charged in military courts much faster than if he just followed the illegal orders. The US always finds a way to justify the violence. They are not big on principled stances

I don’t need politicians to argue on the basis of the law. You are the law makers. I want you to fight for what is morally just.

Markie Kelly @MarcTwinCities Follow MN Fraternal Order of Police put out statement saying that they stand with ICE. MINNESOTA STATE LODGE FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE STATE OFFICE P.O. BOX 270026 Minneapolis, MN 55427 minnesotafop@gmail.com www.mafop.com January 8, 2026 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: "FOP Stands with ICE" Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police Condemns Rhetoric (Minneapolis, MN) The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police stands with the men and women of Law Enforcement across the country. Over the past month, while Federal law enforcement has been doing their job in Minnesota, political and community leaders have condemned and vilified them. The hateful and anti-law enforcement rhetoric by Mayor Frey and other politicians have made their jobs and those of local and state law enforcement more difficult and dangerous. The job of law enforcement is difficult and dangerous enough without the agitation by leaders in our state and communities. When citizens are accused of a crime, they are given the presumption of innocence as afforded by due process. When there is an incident involving law enforcement, politicians and activists immediately condemn those involved and are scrambling for sound bites. They do not afford them the same due process but rather convict them in a public court of opinion while an investigation is barely beginning. The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police condemns these attacks on law enforcement and calls on politicians and leaders to stop the anti-law enforcement rhetoric and to ask for calm while the facts come out. ### The National Fraternal Order of Police is the oldest and largest law enforcement organization in the United States, with more than 382,000 members. 5:04 PM 08 Jan 26322K Views

The police are not your friends.

Don’t worry, I got it

My Uncle:THEY are making Christmas woke now! First it was black Santa, then black Jesus, now they’re calling it X-Mas!
Me:(a quart of whiskey eggnog deep) I herd ghat THEY r unionizing Santa’s elves
My Uncle:Communism is ruining America *Puts another $1,500 on his 47% interest credit card for guns*

Anyone done a bit about making Christmas woke and that’s why “they” call it X-Mas? Coming back to this after a few more eggnogs

Enormous mixed media painting, maybe 34 ft tall, a bridge over the Mississippi River with a gold leaf sky and three metaphysical figures in the sky.

The Saint Louis Art Museum has stepped-up with Anselm Kiefer’s ‘Becoming the Sea’ exhibit. I haven’t read any reviews yet but these large scale mixed media paintings 2021 - 25 are other worldly. Some are over 32 ft tall. As a fair weather fan of his past installations, these paintings are epic! #art

I think people should think about their class position as “Do I have to work for a living?” There are many shades of wealth in that distinction, like a surgeon vs a fast food worker, but both of them are selling their labor to someone who does not in fact work for a living.

could be a great day to preorder 👀 @haymarketbooks.org

my friends know me so well 🥲

That is, if your enemy agrees with capitalism. If they try anything that puts democratic controls over the economy it’s time to overthrow or assassinate them.

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:
