It’s not infighting and it’s not counterproductive to the movement, because our enemy should be racists and not the specific racist institution of the day.

When y’all finally celebrate a victory won mostly by Black and brown people, we’ll have to move on to the next battle without your support.

Our survival has always depended on crumbs from nice racists. It’s nothing new. I’m so tired of being told that any expression of anger is inappropriate and should be set aside so people who didn’t give a fuck about us 6 months ago can feel maximally comfortable now.

Sometimes I think about the time around 50 Nice White People called me a T, forced me out of a building, and removed me from organizing spaces because I said we should oppose ICE and accept nothing less than abolition.

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

Please speak up for Rodney. A year in an ICE camp is beyond comprehension.

Public pressure works.

If enough people speak up, a life may be saved.

Many of the deaths in ICE custody have been due to medical neglect… let’s make sure Rodney isn’t one of them.

The next witness is Aliya Rahman, a U.S. citizen and resident of Minneapolis with autism and a traumatic brain injury, who in January was dragged from her car by immigration agentsβ€” four blocks away from where George Floyd was killedβ€”then detained without access to medical care or lawyer.

Martinez is recounting her harrowing experience: after being shot by CBP agents, she drove a mile to the safety of an auto shop where she called 911, got treatment at a hospital for 7 bullet wounds, then was immediately taken into custody by federal agents.

Shocking video of Wittβ€˜s sheriffs acting exactly like ICE. These are not Feds, this is local law enforcement. www.startribune.com/ice-hennepin...

I stand corrected. Four out of 5 Democrats want to abolish ICE.

Any elected Dem asking for less is outside the mainstream of their party.

You’re describing an emergency. The world is also watching you and waiting for you to do something.

Are you going to establish an eviction moratorium? Rent is due today.

This means that people who are wrongfully detained by ICE can force ICE to pay for the legal fees it takes them to get out. Could have big implications in how this legal work is paid for.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Lots of regular degular, never-done-an-activism folks have been activated in recent months and are working alongside a bunch of seasoned, die-hard, been-tired-for-ten-years-or-more organizers, and you don't know all of those stories bc most people are moving with a bit of discretion in these times.

yeah seeing the "Minneapolis took off because the so-called 'activists' got out of the way and let normal people in" takes is really frustrating. that's not at all an accurate look at what's happening in Mpls or anywhere else. All these movements rely on cores of people who have experience.

For about 5 minutes there, I refrained from saying anything bad about him bc he seemed to be doing good things. I usually refrain from saying anything bad about him bc he's a loser with a fetish for leftist contempt, and I don't give out free spankings. But seriously, the guy is 100% full of shit.

A PLEA: If you are in the Signal groups, YOU SHOULD REALLY STOP LETTING JOURNALISTS GO ON YOUR COMMUTES.

Yes, I am screaming!

I say this to all people. And I scream it bc there are a lot of young folks in movement spaces for the first time who grew up with β€œcontent creators” who need to hear it.

β€œβ€¦ on a commercial flight to a Texas family detention facility…”

Which commercial airlines at MSP are flying kids to detention facilities for ICE? Delta’s the only one with non-stop flights to San Antonio, the airport nearest Dilley, TX.

the news cycle right now is unbearable. between the abduction & imprisonment of these children and the new wave of revelations about the child fucking elite, i just do not understand. how can you look at a child and feel any of those things. it seems incompatible with what i know about being human.

I keep saying this. We have SO much power. Every single one of us. We just haven't seen it yet. Acknowledged it.

I’m lovingly begging us to stop groveling. We have immense people power right now. Stop putting the same faces in front of every crowd and begging the same media outlets for coverage.

We’re used to scarcity but this is the moment to redistribute power, not hand it back to the old guard.

Heartwarming to see known dickheads and abusers welcomed back in the name of unity against ICE. Grateful to everyone they weren’t targeting for extending forbearance.

We cannot fight bad guy racists without good guy racists. We keep (a select few of) us safe!

Some in South Minneapolis have created what they call β€œfilter blockades” on Cedar Ave. A handout says the roundabout like blockade is meant to bring neighbors together to strategize against ICE while also identifying traffic coming into the area.

Jeffrey Epstein, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and Marc Andreessen share an enduring fascination with eugenics, race science, and transhumanism and there is an entire generation of public intellectuals who benefited and continue to benefit from their patronage.

Pinker, Huberman, Attia, Weinstein, etc.

graph tracking democratic backsliding is occuring more quickly in the US than elsewhere.

graph tracking democratic backsliding is occuring more quickly in the US than elsewhere.

New from me: It is not just that the US is experiencing democratic backsliding. Authoritarianism has emerged more quickly than in other benchmark countries.

This graph from John Burn-Murdoch sums it up. 🧡
