1) I agree that Trump's people aren't capable or clever enough to "steal the midterms".

2) I think they are brazen and witless enough to TRY to do it in an utterly hamfisted way that ends in real violence.

Harry Potter? you mean the book series authored by professional transphobe JK Rowling of the Epstein files???

I am never, ever happy to see his name come up but if something Very Funny Happens and this is the last time it does, I’m okay with that.

Urgh I have this argument constantly with someone in my life (a retired judge). He is still having a lot of difficulty wrapping his mind around the fact that laws, even those actively reinforced by court rulings, DO NOT MATTER if no-one will actually enforce them

Last I checked they were also still happily allowing people to sell "alligator Alcatraz" concentration camp merch. Fuck Etsy.

The still allow people to sell AI generated crochet and knitting patterns that don’t work. They’re actively taking money away from humans creating real patterns. They’re making hundreds of sales a month selling AI slop, and some real creators are struggling! Fuck Etsy!

This is torture. The US is torturing children. Children whose words and whose art contain infinitely more humanity than the people keeping them detained.

I'm in the "German-speaking progressive intellectuals" cluster? I guess I'm progressive, but I certainly don't speak German, and I don't follow any accounts that post in German because I wouldn't understand what they were saying, sooo...

as you watch all of the rah-rah pageantry of the Super Bowl it’s astounding to remember that MAGA is so weird and offputting that they’ve apparently given football to the libs in the national divorce

Yes. Ring cameras are ICE cameras.

tweet reading: I'm not falling for that hot take that's clearly someone with a fetish for getting yelled at I refuse to participate in that kind of perversion

Everyone telling you we need to be incrementalist about ICE are lying to you or worse

He's pretty cozy with Epstein. But his proclivities have been known for a while, judging by this article from 2013: www.npr.org/sections/the...

Overthrow the Epstein class!

Minnesotan members of congress are complicit in the crimes of this regime.

who called him Jeff Bezos and not Lex Loser

Late result for anyone still awake: Na’Cole Thompson, the Democratic candidate in the mayoral race today in Leander, Texas, has won the election.

She got 57% and won’t need a runoff, with two Republicans adding up to 43%.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

man, if you have a republican representative up for reelection this year and you live in a place Trump won by less than like +40 this is probably a very emotionally satisfying time to call your rep and be like "hey man you are about to get your shit rocked."

This is a FANTASTIC time to primary your local D electeds from the left.

This guy got beaten by a bunch of masked thugs whose salaries are paid by our taxes simply for being Mexican. Help him out.

I said for a long time the Dems would win if they switched out Biden, but when I said that, I wasn't expecting them to wait til the last minute to do it and then for Harris to do things like say she was staying the course and sneer at Palestinian activists asking to speak.

Call this out for what it is-- torture. Alberto Castaneda Mondragon was tortured by ICE agents. Then they lied about it so unconvincingly that within seconds of a nurse tending to him, she could tell the "he ran into a wall" excuse was bullshit.

State AG's must throw heavy charges at these ghouls.

gotta agree with this. at some point we all have to contend with what good faith is actually for and extend it accordingly

As a person who absolutely hates sudden loud noises, I will happily listen to whistles forever if it saves even one single person from the regime.

When the Headlines Change but the Violence Doesn’t “This is not a cruel novelty project. It’s infrastructure, designed for permanence and expansion.”

My latest: Applauding community defense is not enough. We are organizing resistance to a concentration camp regime. The front lines are everywhere.

Why would you document the evidence of your cruel animal abuse like this? That cat is CLEARLY starving!
