idk but this country has worked pretty hard to make you feel fuckin miserable for being Latino so I’m still riding the high of one show reminding everyone that being Latine is one of the coolest things in the world

We spoke to queer Nigerian gamers about the identities they hide online Voice chat can mean teamwork, coordination, and banter, but for many of the queer Nigerian gamers we spoke to, the mic is a risk assessment tool.

it's illegal to be queer in nigeria, but queer people still exist there (as they do everywhere). nigerian reporter ebenezer mowete spoke to queer local gamers about how they do and don't express their identities when they play --> www.mothership.blog/queer-nigeri...

I’m really inspired by all the aid going toward paying rent but it’s really making me think rent shouldn’t really be a thing. 🤔 Just another way the various crisis of capitalism (corporate land ownership and the police state) overlap and deprive people of their basic human needs. Just a thought!

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

journalism the rare field that will make you feel survivor’s guilt even if you don’t have a job

One thing I think is important to remember is that it does not take many subscribers on the scale of things. Your money goes a lot farther when it goes directly toward the people making the work. You do not need 30 million readers and infinite growth.

Sick fourth-grader among 4 Columbia Heights students held by ICE Columbia Heights Public Schools says four students remain detained by ICE after Liam’s return, including 10-year-old Elizabeth, who has fallen ill.

Elizabeth is a Columbia Heights fourth-grader who loves volleyball, learning English and giggling in the halls with her friends. She's been held in the Dilley Immigration Processing Center for nearly a month, and she and her mom have both fallen ill. sahanjournal.com/education/co...

Ok I’ll redownload Fortnite. They really got me with this one

Hell yeah huge w

'protect your peace' and 'pick your battles' are good advice for most, but it's ignorant not to know it as privilege. some people were minding their business when the battle picked them; some people are the battle

YouTube video by Rep. Kelly Morrison Rep. Morrison details her oversight of the federal Whipple building

My office has been flooded with reports of the cruel, unsafe, unlawful conditions inside of the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis.

This weekend, I was finally granted access to perform oversight of the facility. youtu.be/0SxPn8n2Bfg

Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

I’m trying to help this immigrant family who’s been inside for over a month due to increased ICE presence in our community. Rent and bills are due tomorrow (Feb. 1) so we are really hoping to support them. Let’s make this family happy & prevent their displacement. ❤️

Venmo: @ gretagretagreta

i literally can’t understand how rich people keep their money. giving people money they need to stay fed and housed is the most amazing feeling.

i wish everyone of you that have donated got to experience the gratitude of the people you are helping.

Hard agree on this take!!! As a person who struggles to plan and schedule stuff but loves my friends and wants to maintain contact, this is the way.

At best, I get to talk to a friend.

At worst, my friend can’t talk and they know I was thinking of them and wanted to talk to them.

A lot of times what happens is they can’t talk right away but I get the, “can I give you a call back at x day/time?” And then I get to talk to a loved one.

I do this and it has never gone badly because I never call someone with the expectation that the can definitely talk to me right then and there.

I have bad ADHD so a lot of times scheduling a call can actually prevent me from talking to people who I genuinely want to talk to.

Hennepin County Sheriff Dawanna Witt needs to stop assisting ICE. It’s very clear that the sheriff’s department has been harassing, intimidating, arresting and coming out in force to assist ICE. They have been using force against neighbors who are working to protect our immigrant neighbors. 2/

An unbelievable thing happened last night. 3,083 people from the @minnmax.com and @giantbomb.bsky.social community stepped up to protect the people in Minneapolis from ICE.

An old friend was harassed by ICE and asked to prove her citizenship, luckily she was carrying her passport. This stuff is happening every day in Minneapolis. She’s a self-employed hair stylist and has lost business with folks scared to leave their homes. Donations welcome. gofund.me/d8b49045d

Do not underestimate how much this context adds to these arrests for Minnesotans.

We lost one of our treasured leaders last year because she was tragically murdered and the tactics are being repeated. bsky.app/profile/atru...

There are 3,800 kids in ICE custody.
