We aren’t resting until ICE is out of MN. We aren’t stopping until ICE is completely abolished. They want us to bend the knee so they can continue separating families, but we won’t be doing that. We’re going to win, and it’s bc of the resiliency of our neighbors.

Minneapolis council member Chavez: We are not going to rest until ICE operation ends
While DHS said that it removed about 700 agents from the 3,000 that were in the state last week, Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez says he hasn’t seen much change on the ground.

I love this so very much. 😍
Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

Just had my first square meal in eight days

my body's sort of
"What's this? Huh?"

Good morning. Happy Monday. Minneapolis is still under federal occupation and thousands of my neighbors are still afraid of leaving their homes. Nothing has changed.

This is exactly correct

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

I worried about what hostile foreign nations would do during T2
But they don't need bombs
They don't need tariffs or embargoes
All they have to do is whisper to the rest of the world....

When I was a kid, the super bowl ads were all beer, cola, and Doritos. Then it was dot-coms. A couple years ago it was all crypto. This year is all AI slop, surveillance, and online betting. What a grim reflection of the world the tech oligarchs have wrought.

We can build a world where being in a gambling ad is just as cringe as being in a crypto ad was a few super bowls ago.
NFT, crypto, sports betting, polymarket. It's all the same grift, and everyone associated with it deserves unending mockery at the very least.

Maybe consider somebody other than the Uvalde congressman to talk about how much the Republican Party cares about the well-being of little kids
Gonzales on Liam Ramos and his family: "They're not gonna qualify for asylum. So what do you do with all the people that go through the process and do not qualify for asylum? You deport them. I understand that 5-year-old and it breaks my heart. I also think, what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"
