trans rights are human rights
this is why I stopped following jamelle. he's great but his pre-election talking point of 'mass incarceration/deportation is a fiction' didn't exactly work out that way
modern american politics consists of experts patiently explaining why something insane that people are talking about could never happen, followed by that exact thing happening

Mamdani: I am in support of abolishing ICE… I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.

This is probably the most accurate description.

Someone in their mid-50s today told me that this is the first time he had thought about or been affected by politics. And that guy is actively guarding buildings and his coworkers from ICE.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.

The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

Minneapolis activists disrupted a church service where David Easterwood serves as a pastor, according to lawyer and activist @nekimal - Easterwood is also the acting field office director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in St. Paul, Minnesota.

I'm LIVE from Minneapolis right now 🤝🏾

Imagine the kind of pastor that runs an ICE field office. What do you think he was like in high school? Lock in your answer. Now look. You were right weren't you?

Arlit Maria Martinez is a mother of 4. Her son, Kevin, died of cancer while she was in ICE custody.

ICE refused her request to be at Kevin's side in his final moments. They must let her attend Kevin’s memorial.

Arlit, I hope you hear how many patriots stand with you.

I work with state parties every single day. There are only a handful of national leaders who actually raise real money for the year organizing state parties do--Ken Martin (dnc chair), Simon Rosenberg (Hopium), Sen. Warren and Actblue. Come for Simon and you come for all of us.
I'm not interested in arguing with the good people of Minnesota, on the front lines, doing the hard work of protecting our democracy. I've worked hard to bring your bravery and courage to the world in recent weeks on Hopium.

But attacks like this are false, defamatory, and need to end. 1/

this crystallizes why, despite truly heroic solidarity and activism, i can’t quite get in the “we’re going to win” mindset right now. the harm is so active and there’s so much violence we don’t even know about. people are being turned into ghosts.

Very curious what the long-term ripple effects of this ICE occupation will be. Many very privileged people have stepped up to prevent their own government from disappearing their non-white neighbors and have now confronted inequalities and social problems they never would have experienced firsthand.
