If we have to pay to rent movies again on a subscription service, we should just reopen Blockbuster.
It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.
They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
I CAST WHIMSY ON THE SKYLINE
In terms of what cures are being lost:
- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease
It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea
always read @roxanegay.bsky.social , especially now.
"People often misunderstand nonviolent protest. It is not merely eschewing violence. It doesn’t mean that we are silent or that we are not angry."

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained.
Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk
I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi.
He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael.
At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk.
Wael died on Friday at age 30.
ICE caused his death.
They didn’t get to say goodbye.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
Hard to convey how much you can tangibly feel the love and care for one another people are showing here in Minneapolis. Even in the few days we’ve been here more businesses have come on board with the strike and we've met people from every walk of like doing the work to keep each other safe.
I wish I could say I feel vindicated by this long-awaited study, but I'm just... exhausted.
I take no joy in sharing covid info. This shit's horrifying at every turn.
But disabled people have to care doubly because the world doesn't care at all.
The past 5 years feel like 20.

“When an individual enters their residence, conceals themselves behind a closed door, and attempts to go about their everyday life, they are willfully impeding the important work of law enforcement officers and engaging in domestic terrorism,” said DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin
They like cops so much that all we’re getting is cops. No roads, no bridges, no school funding, no culture money, just a bouquet of different types of cops
Deporting children with cancer.
Using a 5-year-old as bait.
Shooting moms.
ICE is beyond reform. And today the House is voting to bankroll more terror. Hell no.
The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization.
This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.
I am going to BEG you to search out challengers in your area who state explicitly that they're for abolishing ICE, for healthcare and affordable housing, anti-genocide, ahead of the midterms. Now it's time to build campaigns, to canvass, to get visibility. Let's provide folks with an alternative.
Not exaggerating when I say that the collective action in Minnesota will be studied for generations if not centuries to come
They not moving like Nazis.. they moving like Slave Patrols and any other comparison is AMERICAN exceptionalism
This is a very important video to watch. Thank you Ashley the Barroness. One comment from IG was America isn’t becoming Germany. America is becoming America. That really hit home for me. Watch this! Be uncomfortable.
Two things this morning:
1) It's very important to understand that what brought us here is American history. Policing in this country began because of slave patrols. Read on.
naacp.org/find-resourc...
ICE is not Gestapo, but slave patrols.
It's not foreign, but deeply American, categorical brutalization of non-white people (& now those who stand up for them).
They do not need to have warrants, and people facing deportation are not entitled to lawyers, or what we imagine as due process.
It’s not so much that Trump & co don’t think slavery was important, they want to remove this history precisely *because* of how important it was. They don’t want people to learn about slavery because then people would understand how it continues to shape the landscape of inequality in America today.
