-5°F in Minneapolis tonight.

At the site where feds killed Alex Pretti, the air still smells faintly of tear gas. Hundreds of people still here behind some impromptu barricades.

Message spray painted on the road reads, "fuck ICE, love always wins."

the failure of democratic leadership to fight back against this tyranny is wholly disqualifying. jeffries refusing to whip votes against ice funding is effectively a tacit approval of the street executions of americans by an unaccountable federal paramilitary. I dunno, man. they’ve abandoned us

How do you plan to do that, sir? Pretty words aren't a substitute for action.

It's not enough to defund or abolish ICE. The entire DHS needs to be dismantled, with its few reasonable functions assigned to different agencies, and not replaced by an equivalent government agency. Demand more from these fascist bastards.

I’m one of the ProPublica reporters who has been documenting the aggressive tactics federal agents are using against immigrants & U.S. citizens

All eyes are on Minnesota right now, but I want to tell you about Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-YO citizen in Houston who was choked by immigration agents in October

I'm glad that people have come to recognize this but it sucks that it took the development of a people eating gestapo force in the US to get y'all here.

I was treated like a crazy person even by SJW Black creators for saying that this is all part of the same problem with policing as an institution & it didn't fucking matter what the races of the victim & perp were in that case. The collective gaslighting was wild.

Every single person who downplayed Justine Damond's murder by cop in 2017 because the cop was a Black immigrant & she was a white woman better own up to that while screaming about Renee Good's murder now. The disease & the symptoms didn't change in the last 9 years just because you saw the light.

Social movements are strong when the rowdy and the peaceful elements work in solidarity with one another. The myth of the provocateur is spread specifically because it undermines that solidarity.

really wish the “opposition” party had not spent years upon years trying to outdo the GOP in lavishing money arms and deference on state security forces

The garage scene is incredible but oh my God the needle drop on that train scene made it impossible for me to hear that song without bursting into tears for YEARS

The Americans finale left me emotionally disemboweled. I've seen it twice and randomly feel the urge to rewatch it every few years

Thank goodness, maybe they can manage this life better than I can

Also listening to Danny Brown's entire discography in order of release was accidentally the perfect thing to do while cooking today. I'm in the midst of some of his more unhinged albums and it's fitting the mood too well.

The fact that the Democrats aren't fighting each other to be the 1st to change their campaign slogans to Impeach the Motherfucker Already & submitting articles of impeachment over war crimes confirms everything many of us have been saying about them for decades. They want to be controlled opposition

Someone turned foreign policy into another failed casino

I'm so sick of our foreign policy being cribbed from the Cold War. *Minutemen start playing in the background*

The 2 worst people you know are fighting

Calibri is one of my least favorite fonts. The fact that I feel the impulse to defend it in reaction to this stupid administration because they've decided a font is "DEI" angers me so much

It's a winter wonderland, trapped in a snow globe, etc. over here

The surrender caucus secured yes votes from Democrats who aren't facing re-election this cycle, but four of them have Democratic governors who can pick their replacement.

If you live in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maine or Virginia this is an easy and effective way to make your anger clear.

Do you know what the word leverage means

Chicago folks, I giddily sent text messages to my boyfriend and sister-in-law on Thursday about how it's so nice that we're actually getting a proper autumn for once and I feel like that brought on this winter storm nonsense. I am so sorry. I have learned my lesson.

I would even go so far as to call it active collaboration given all the stuff that's coming out about so many No votes working behind the scenes to end the shutdown

If you're not calling for Schumer to step down, even if you voted no, primary.

Primary everyone.

Chuck Schumer is a fascist enabler and collaborator and I hope he has the worst holiday season of his life

MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems.

My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.

Important to note that the DNC, House Dems, 2028 contenders, and even the most pro-leadership pundits and influencers are all laying on Senate Dems right now.

They betrayed all of us. Schumer has no allies left.
