I understand the urge but... immigrants are not only valuable because of contributions to the economy.
This is damaging coz:
1. Contributes to commodification of immigrants
2. Makes migrants disposable & deportable when labour is no longer needed (esp periods of high unemployment & austerity)

All these Trumpers are in for a hurting real bad once they feel how important immigrants are to the economy.
It's going to be immense pain. And you know what? The country did it to itself—the self-destructive power of white supremacy.

I absolutely reject the logic that comrades are ever responsible for any increased state repression. We are living in fascist time, they don't need "excuses."
Be ungovernable, maintain solidarity, & keep tactical differences internal

I wrote about the confusion created by disgruntled voters who believe that voting is enough, and the trouble many have visualizing an alternative. Fear, frustration, and the work of those who came before us are not an excuse to promote inaction or resignation. prismreports.org/2025/06/03/i...

MPD is already trying to lie about what happened. City of Minneapolis official account also reposted them. As long as Frey is Mayor we will have a police department ready to assist ICE and then try to lie about it. Look at the thread to see what MPD’s cooperation and assistance led to today.
