Hi Will, you're free to block me anytime.

We don’t need a celebration we need to abolish ICE and get justice for those murdered and for those whose rights have been violated and return our neighbors. Reminder the Roman Colosseum was a propaganda machine that enforced hierarchy and was a distraction from living standards. Stay focused MPLS.

14 February 1931 | German Jewish boy, Manfred Georg Broder, was born in Leipzig.
He was transferred from #Westerbork to #Theresienstadt ghetto in February 1944, from where on 4 October 1944 he was deported to #Auschwitz. He was murdered in a gas chamber after the arrival selection.

DHS is just a relic from the overreaction to 9/11 and all the opportunistic skullduggery that took advantage of it. There was never any need for it. Let it be dead. Its abrupt dissolution will be a bit chaotic but fuck it we ball.

It's not that you deserve to be sent to a camp, it's that you might actually be sent to a camp in the very possible future scenario of Newsom losing a presidential election to Trump's successor because enough would-be dem voters are delusional enough to believe he's not the preferable candidate.

trans people are roughly the same population as new mexico, and that's not including friends, family and people who understand solidarity, can you imagine a candidate saying an entire state deserves less rights and thinking it's a winning strategy?

Big numbers. Big impact. The numbers speak for themselves when it comes to the effects of Operation Metro Surge. What can you do? Support businesses. Donate. Volunteer for a grocery run. As Assistant Chief Gaiters said today, we're Minneapolis Strong.

For the first time since Jan. 5, there were no ICE flights out of Minneapolis Friday, probably because of this ruling.

Incredibly powerful opinion chronicling the awfulness in Whipple and the ways it interfered with the right to counsel.
One key part of the ruling (that ICE will likely appeal ASAP); Judge Brasel bars ICE from transferring anyone out of Minnesota within 72 hours of arrest.

no one ever asked republicans for specific details on how “mass deportations” would work and now here we are
Remarkable: Majority of working class voters oppose deportations of undocumented immigrants with jobs/no criminal records, per new Marquette data.
Remember how pundits said 2024 meant Dems must become restrictionist to win back working class? I challenge that here:
