please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.
people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

To be clear, the demand is:
Get out of Minneapolis
Do not go anywhere else
Disband them
Prosecute all the crimes
And most importantly
GIVE US BACK OUR NEIGHBORS

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

An appropriate reaction to the federal government attacking a WHOLE STATE -- murdering, disappearing, brutalizing, kidnapping our neighbors isn't to just haggle over the funding for one agency. It's to stop all business as usual until this ends.

To be clear, I want ICE the fuck out of my city. I do not want them then going to someone else’s city, ever.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

This morning, on a street in Minneapolis, at least seven federal agents tackled and then shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse for the local VA hospital.

I put the rice cooker on. I made tea. Fed is best; do what you can. We need you.
Doesn’t matter if it’s healthy. Materials that don’t kill you go straight into your face. Right now. Please. We’ll come back stronger tomorrow.
I suppose I could do an "oh fuck we should probably eat something tonight" reminder with the knowledge that lots of us have no appetite and/or no energy to figure out something like food.

The path for Democrats is very clear: have good ideas, believe in them, state them clearly, stick to them, act decisively in support of these ideas, speak to the young half of the electorate, support other democrats who do these things. Follow Mamdani and Lander's example or fade into nothingness.

I don’t know, peeps, but I just keep coming back around to the idea that what so many people want is a hopeful vision of a better world, with autonomy, dignity, & respect for all, affordability of food/shelter, education, medical care, clean air/water, & a place in a community. That’s the message.

Hi! Cis queer person here who overwhelmingly supports trans rights, yes. And I am not alone in that.
It’s the NYT trying to cover their own asses for helping to diminish trans people’s rights, by trying to paint themselves as just going along with “normal gay” interests. It’s a crock of shit. Cis gay people overwhelmingly support trans people and overwhelmingly also vote Democratic

it is beyond time to see your own complicity in the present moment: when you only mask at protests & never even consider doing so in the grocery store, pharmacy, on public transit, you contribute to a social climate able to criminalize protective tools. CHOOSE SOLIDARITY, prevent infection, mask up.
resist mainstreaming the far right & their ideals with choices you make every day—an easy one is to wear a respirator in, at the very least, public indoor spaces.
needless spread of novel & thought-to-be-gone pathogens has been key to the eugenicists playbook. prevent it.
