I think about this thread all the time.

"This fucking sucks" and "all is lost" are two different sentences.

The first is often true and necessary to acknowledge, the second is both false and demobilizing.
There's a particular kind of doomer on here who's like "and then SCOTUS will install him as president for a third term, and the military will back him up" as if that's the end of history.

Friend, there's still an "and then" after that.

I hope Democratic senators and congressmen understand, out of pure lizard-brain self-interest if moral decency happens to be unavailable, what is at stake for them if they don't handle this the right way. This is a true "If not now, when?" moment.

NYC Stands with Minneapolis - Abolish ICE!

Trump is terrorizing our communities, and big corporations are profiting. Workers and students across the nation are walking out in solidarity with our immigrant neighbors across the country.

my Minnesotan friend confirms that the twin cities are totally united, even among people you wouldn’t expect
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

another post I think of often - having the right opinions online means nothing if you’re not also engaging your irl community 🤷🏻‍♀️
"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

if you think the President will invoke an act that allows him to send in the military to quash rebellion because some people are blocking cars and also think SCOTUS will let him do that—my brother in Christ, you already live in the future you fear resistance will bring

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

The limitations of his office notwithstanding it is in fact important to have a mayor, and behind him a series of affiliated parliamentarians and councilors, who will say this and say it repeatedly.
Last year's arrest of Mahmoud Khalil was more than just a chilling act of political repression, it was an attack on all of our constitutional rights. Now, as the crackdown on pro-Palestinian free speech continues, Mahmoud is being threatened with rearrest. Mahmoud is free—and must remain free.

I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.

We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

Today, it’s not your vote that determines whether the government brutalizes you or sends officers to your door. It’s your neighbors’ vote.

If you’re ok with this happening to Minnesotans, don’t get comfortable. You won’t be exempt for long.

In the end, a lawless administration comes for everyone.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.

That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

What is the end game for ICE? Terrorize one city and move to the next?

How many "illegals" are they actually finding for all this effort?

Seems like we should be hearing about high numbers being found but we are not because that's not what this seems to be about.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.

And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”

Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Let me just say it again: he can’t cancel the midterms. Elections are administered by states.

He can’t do it. Stop telling people he can do it.

Telling people their votes don’t matter based on absolutely false fantasizing by the demented sociopath is doing the work of voter suppression for him.
