The US government has abandoned its mandate to govern based on Constitutional law and the permission of its citizens.

The current administration is illegitimate and must be stopped before they escalate their program of public harassment and executions.

The rule of law must hold or we are lost.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

A moment to be present in the natural world is the most self-affirming gift.

A keen reminder how remarkable it is to be alive.

When you are the richest country in the world, maybe you are not the ones who should be tearing down your existing institutions. But that’s exactly what this president is doing

I’ve seen some stuff along these lines but has anyone composed a list of ANY AND ALL Twin Cities businesses and/or mutual aid groups that those of us out of state can support?

Well said.
2/3 of homicide deaths in Minneapolis this year are ICE murders. about 8% of male homicide deaths nationally are at the hands of police. you cannot separate acceptance of state violence at the hands of LEOs from MAGA’s justification of state violence now.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Parking this for later:

We need to seriously de-privatize all core civic functions.

E.g., No more privately owned health systems, prisons or institutions of any kind.

We tried it. It failed. Time to evolve.

🚨BREAKING: Hours after federal immigration officers shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, Pam Bondi seized upon the incident to demand access to voter rolls, directly tying the Trump administration’s quest for voters’ unredacted personal data to its aggressive immigration raids across the state.
AG Bondi demands access to Minnesota voter rolls after fatal Border Patrol shooting
Her demand came as Minneapolis was reeling from a second fatal shooting by a federal agent this month.

If corporates across the board–especially in media–want to maintain any degree of profitability going forward, they best get on the right side of history ASAP.

Your “rights” to meddle in society are specious at best. Your business continuity aren’t guaranteed.

You thought BLM was bad?
Buckle up.

I grew up in New Hampshire where we're inordinately proud of our state's motto. But the full quote is:

"Live free or die. Death is not the worst of evils."

The full phrase was coined by Gen. John Stark in a letter to the volunteers of the Battle of Bennington. The final passages feel relevant now.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now):

-If you work for ICE.
-If you vote for money for ICE.

You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.

The GOP needs to be eliminated as a political entity and its members barred from public service.

They are the ONLY threat to national security this country currently faces.

Every last ICE agent must be prosecuted for their participation. Every cabinet official must be impeached along with POTUS.
