A whole bunch of Loons and a couple of Wizards on the way to Minnesota!

A glitched loon says ICE out in glitched lettering. WITH LASER EYE.

If you’re having a hard time w/ legibility

Settings app > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Toggle on “Reduce Transparency”

I also suggest

Settings app > Accessibility > Display & Text Size > Toggle on “Show Borders”

Been living with it for a while now & that make it at least easier to use.

Along the same lines of us not being okay, this article points out what we’ve been through lately.

George Floyd.
The Hortmans.
ICE.

I’d add Philando Castile.

We’re not okay. We are strong and beautiful but absolutely not okay. We’re fucking falling apart.

It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis

But locals are organizing to keep each other safe from ICE agents.

MINNEAPOLIS LABOR UNION DELEGATION AND LOCAL REGIONAL LABOR
BODIES ENDORSE JANUARY 23: DAY OF TRUTH AND FREEDOM
NO WORK, SCHOOL, OR SHOPPING
MINNEAPOLIS – The Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO along with
regional bodies throughout the state, including the Saint Paul Regional Labor
Federation, the West Area Labor Council, the North East Area Labor Council and the
East Central Labor Council, have joined in solidarity to endorse a powerful unified
statewide action on January 23: Day of Truth and Freedom. The Minnesota labor
movement is united against the violent ICE occupation of our beloved cities that has
directly impacted union members, our workplaces and our families.
Workers are essential for our communities to function. Since the ICE campaign of terror
began, both immigrant and non-immigrant workers have feared for their safety when
going to work, being at work, and coming home from work. Union members and our
families are being illegally detained at alarming rates, with workplaces and schools
facing increased challenges.
Chelsie Glaubitz Gabiou, President of the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation,
AFL-CIO, shared why union federations are joining this call:
“Working people, our schools and our communities are under attack. Union members
are being detained commuting to and from work, tearing apart families. Parents are
being forced to stay home, students held out of school, fearing for their lives, all while
the employer class remains silent. Our labor federations are encouraging everyone to
participate on January 23rd. It’s time for every single Minnesotan who loves this state
and the notion of truth and freedom to raise their voices and deepen their solidarity for ● ICE must leave Minnesota now.
● The agent who killed Renee Good must be held legally accountable.
● No additional federal funding for ICE in the up…

Bloomberg's X account has more than 800k followers. Their most recent post was shared five times

It would basically come at close to zero cost for outlets like Bloomberg to delete their X accounts, and "We don't want to use a non-consensual deepfake abuse app as a comms platform" is a fine excuse
