I've probably doorknocked you.

And we still don’t have the Epstein files.
The DOJ is more than three weeks late in delivering the Epstein Files. In those three weeks:

- Trump declared himself acting President of Venezuela
- ICE murdered a woman in Minnesota
- Trump is preparing an invasion of a NATO ally
- Trump initiated a criminal investigation of Fed Chair Powell

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities.

This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

Trying to explain what it feels like in the Twin Cities right now to people who aren’t here and haven’t experienced this is genuinely crazy-making.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia.

Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.”

Really listen to it.

If you live in Saint Paul pressure your elected representatives to push Regions Hospital on why they’re so friendly to 🧊 these days.

SAY HIS NAME: A week before Renee Good’s murder, #KeithPorter was murdered by an ICE agent in LA. His story isn’t getting the attention it deserves.

Advocates want legal action after man shot and killed by off-duty ICE agent in Northridge
Advocates argue that the off-duty ICE agent wasn't trained for the situation and should have called police and waited for them to arrive.

We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Nicole Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city: obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.

This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

Ex-Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura: “We’re a 3rd world country now. I know. I’ve been to ‘em. I spent 17 months in SE Asia while the draft dodger was playing golf… that’s what happens in a dictatorship. In comes the military. That’s what’s happening here.” 🇺🇸

No family should have to choose between keeping a roof over their heads and risking being permanently separated from their loved ones by masked ICE agents.

Minneapolis needs an immediate eviction mortarium to keep our neighbors in their homes and safe from ICE.

221-205, House passes the “motion to discharge” the Jeffries 3-year ACA funding extension.

NINE (!) Republicans join unanimous Democrats in voting to advance it.

This tees up a final House vote tomorrow; it’s poised to sail through.

New text:
“[Redacted location] parents are working in their cars in the parking lot and in the neighborhood today, and helping take out the trash so staff don’t have to go outside.“

The Twin Cities are tight knit with neighbors that have a natural instinct to organize because we give a damn.

Text I received:

“My child's daycare is sending some staff home immediately and have asked all parents to come pick up kids due to nearby reports of ICE activity. We had kept our children home today as a precaution.”

This isn’t about safety or immigration. It’s about punishing blue cities.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.

That is called murder when they do that.

Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

oldhead advice from an oldhead.

every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"

and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work

gotta build for long term

Context: Dave Titus was the head of the SPPD union in 2017 and handed Melvin Carter his first election on a silver platter with a racist attack ad so egregious that his endorsed candidate at the time rightly condemned it.
