I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
“Everybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE
Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.

“This friend of mine, they’re brave. But they’re not exceptional. Minneapolis is an entire city full of people standing up to a literally murderous regime…I’ve always been fascinated by the ways that people come together in crisis to take care of one another. And people here have come together.”

I wouldn't be surprised if they start using these lists to put people on the no-fly lists, audits by the IRS, etc. as retribution. Once a government starts making lists of its citizens like this, the abuses will inevitably follow.

NOT a news agency.

Looks like the Hamilton Police Service needs to step the hell up if they're serious about repairing their relationship with the #LGBTQ+ community.

If.

Why is it that whenever you see white supremacists it's always the least supreme white guys ever?

Like, when you add up the greasy hair, the vacuous gap-tooth grin, the trout-like shoulders and the casual dart hanging off a lip, the total just doesn't work out to "das Herrenrasse", you know?

I'm sure everyone will be SHOCKED to hear that the videos do not show the whole "people came out and attacked ICE with snow shovels" thing that ICE claimed was what happened. This was not a remotely defensive gunshot.

Maybe I'm the asshole, but this is exactly the vibe I needed today.

I'm no philosopher, but I think if we all just united as communities to douse neo-Nazi shitheels with water and deer urine in the freezing cold before hounding them back to their cars to flee sobbing, we might make a better world.

I've seen a couple of these posters in the wild in #HamOnt. Good to see more local folks pushing back against the fascist bullshit.

I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder.

Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.

I know it's hard to shock these days but Elon Musk going full Rhodesia defender and calling for the ethnic cleansing of the US should still shock you.

These are neo nazi views that were only previously shared on explicitly neo nazi sites.

I realize all these vids should get a trigger warning but this one in particular may be bad for femme presenting folks, as we get more & more & more evidence how much these Nazis want to hurt women.

ICE: “Have you not learned from the past few days?”

Woman: “Learned what? What’s our lesson?”

Every domestic violence survivor knows what those words means.

The misogyny on display by ICE is terrifying & escalating.

There’s no lesson we need to learn.

Filming is legal. Murder is not.

“My kids, my grandkids are blonde. I was blonde. Now you look [at] all the schools, there's no blonde people anymore. That's wrong because we need a mixture. I want my Canada back.”

On the one hand, we shouldn't platform these ideas. On the other, it shows the public how racist these asshats are.

So a little band of petulant peewee piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre’s most rightwing supporters gathered at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto today to demand mass deportations.
They brought the Trump 2024 campaign flag but largely kept it hidden (naturally).

This photo tells you everything you need to know about the far right in Canada.

How fundamentally stupid and bigoted do you have to be to look at the disgraceful shitshow our neighbors are enduring and think to yourself "yeah, let's get us some of that"?

New in PN: Renee Good's killer can and must be prosecuted

"There’s no path to justice that runs through this administration or the federal courts. Hell, Trump will probably give the shooter a medal, and would certainly give him a pardon. But there is a path to justice that runs through Minnesota."

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.
NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do."

“We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs.
