It is pretty funny that Abdul el Sayed is the only candidate I've ever heard say specifically he wants to end all military assistance to Egypt or Jordan

Every ICE agent should be put in jail for the rest of their lives.
ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

This is 1) an entirely hypothetical threat at the moment; 2) will not be much alleviated by anonymity in an open channel; 3) concealing your identity makes this kind of charge harder to beat; and 4) this is principally relevant for small groups of organizers who can be "taken out of the fight"
Murdering people with death squads has proven to generate bad PR. Wide ranging conspiracy indictments can take down protest leaders, which they very much want to do. Or at least take them out of the fight for years and they beat their cases, at terrific financial and mental costs.

I really wish NYC would’ve banned gas hookups before my building was built. I’m paying an extra $600ish a year for the privilege of using a crappy stove and a (maybe?) faster dryer (space heating is already a heat pump). It’s almost entirely in delivery charges, not the actual gas.

Abigail is her own little wormhole. Like her father was a founding member of Mossad? Led the intelligence bureau during the Nakba?!?

Then she does things like donate $100K to anti gerrymandering amendment but then turns around and donates 10K to Matt Huffman and all state republicans.

Thank you to Mr. Warren for doing the diligence on why, exactly, a dead pedestrian might have been “walking in the road.”

It sucks knowing that they died taking the only form of transit available to them.

Was talking to a random nice older woman from East Isles last night and ICE came up. She then detailed, totally free of irony, her plan for reforming US government, which included the simultaneous mass execution of every leading member of the Trump administration, many of whom were mentioned by name

This is tremendous. Take the time to watch it.
Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

The SS is increasingly "BS" -- casting aside its vital mission of internal security and national coherence to make YOUR wiener schnitzel cost 33% more.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel?

Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again.

And they almost shot some kids in the process.
They just blindly shot through the fucking door.

"Additional photographs show damage consistent with a bullet fragment lodged in a bedroom wall down the hallway — suggesting it traveled between a mattress and a portable crib in a room where several small children sleep."
"Photographic evidence from the shooting scene of a Venezuelan man by federal agents last month in Minneapolis supports the account of witnesses there – and appears to undercut the narrative provided by federal officials." www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

The people on the front lines are just protesting, which is constitutionally protected 1st amendment stuff. The ‘decision makers’ (ie receiving and passing on locations of ice agents etc) could be indicted, rightly or wrongly, for obstruction and seditious conspiracy. FBI has already come to

These are basic ground floor facts and it’s precisely why we’re now approaching month 2 of pushing against all of the security & trust theater that had, until the tail end of January, defined the first ~7 months of community anti-ICE organizing here. By no mistake, we suddenly tripled group sizes.
No offense but if anything MN puts the lie to the idea that popular resistance takes a bunch of time and preparation by established activists who are allegedly quietly building goodwill. Mostly I see those people upset that it's succeeding and trying to gatekeep the normal people out of it

to be kind of blunt, if the hardcore veteran activist organizer expertise that you bring results in "light a dumpster on fire, get mad that this is filmed" it's not really expertise anyone should respect, sorry. don't care how many little activism merit badges you have.

“What saleable assets” Epstein asked Mandelson

Fast forward to October 12, Epstein has the list (which includes the *student loan book*, as well as other controversial proposed sales) & is telling Jes Staley to ”sit with Peter” to discuss

same day, Mandelson is noisily defending the sell off 👀

I think this does get at the heart of it, that what's being advocated for isn't so much the achievement of material goals but the creation of revolution flavored content, kind of a stupid counter to the admins goal of creating ethnic cleansing flavored content

Anytime someone makes this point they get a zillion posts saying that their particular station in life makes this bad advice. But the fact is that of the people who have been most severely punished for protesting, we are able to defend Mahmoud Khalil, Öztürk, etc because we know who they are!
Is it a good idea to go to a protest wearing a surgical mask and sunglasses, looking like a lunatic, or not? That's what this is about. I think that's a bad idea and would think that if Stancil never existed. It did the pro-Palestine protestors no favors
