No, I do not want to be a “creator journalist” or “influencer” or run a newsletter by myself

I want health insurance and a decent editor to work under and a team of comrades to work with, attend union meetings with, do good with

Do not love how this industry has been shredded and remade into a teetering heap of gig work

Freelancers fighting each other for a dwindling number of scraps, generational talent falling out of the ecosystem entirely, former staffers struggling while billionaires stuff their pockets

Fuck all landlords, fuck all fascists, fuck all snitches.

"new documents confirm in the government’s own words that what prompted the raid was more pedestrian: allegations that immigrants were squatting in the complex. 1/2

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons.

We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team.

This week of anti-protests across the Bay Area ahead of #SuperBowlLX takes us to Kaiser Permanente in #SantaClaraCA for an "ICE OUT OF HEALTHCARE" rally.

About 60 people are here including one blow-up chicken.

Kaiser security watch from various spots in the parking lot.

The Hypocrisy is the Point There is always fine print that says, “but only for us.”

Something I've been thinking about for years and needed to write. Stop debating right wingers and ceding any ground to them. Call them out for what they are: unrepentant fascists. They bask in their own rank hypocrisy as a power play. Instead, focus your energy on making a better world without them.

i don't particularly disagree with a lot of the critiques of anarchist activism by liberals but I bristle when they act as if their best practices are any wiser. we're here because none of us figured out how to avoid being here.

everyone should have some goddamn humility.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

I'm also working with someone to create an interactive map of police predators, but that's essentially an extension of the spreadsheet. I'm just thinking I spend too much time aggregating and summarizing with no real benefit (to me or to readers)

I need some feedback from y'all. I want to keep Police Predators going but I don't know that my current format makes sense. I summarize the news stories but barely anyone reads them. Should I continue as is, reduce it to just a list of names and their crimes (+ the spreadsheet) or something else?

Quote from article: 

"A major Somali shopping center called Karmel Mall closed for the day. Daycare centers were forced to close when their staff demanded the day off. Workers forced a major AT&T call center to close. The biggest nursing home in the Twin Cities metro area held mandatory all-staff meetings to threaten to fire employees who participated, but those scare tactics failed and they faced mass absenteeism. The combined population of Minneapolis and Saint Paul is less than 750,000; that Friday, we saw an estimated 100,000 people take the streets in sub-zero temperatures. It is safe to conclude that at least one out of every eight Twin Cities residents took part in the general strike."

"The leaderless character of the resistance to ICE in Minnesota is precisely what has made it effective. The everyday anarchism of the Minneapolis revolution is its greatest strength."
