Barely clutching a spark of light. Hopeful in the face of despair and rage. Looking to grow an activism and resistance gang of folks to withstand what’s coming and cause good trouble.
But also, Some days it doesn’t pay to gnaw through the straps.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.
Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.
BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

Kristi Noem has been a complete and total failure at her job. She has violated her oath and has allowed ICE agents to terrorize our communities.
That’s why I’m joining @robinkelly.house.gov in calling for her impeachment.
We deserve better, she’s gotta go.

America isn’t supposed to have such trappings of dictatorship saturating their everyday lives, a lot of people think. Rogan’s latest broadside—“Are we really gonna be the gestapo?”—speaks to that intuition. trib.al/dacCfd8
Joe Rogan’s Harsh New Takedown of Trump ICE Raids Hands Dems a Weapon
When a Trump supporter refers to ICE as the “gestapo,” a door has definitely opened. Will Democrats charge through it?

Violent CBP goons beat up homeless legal resident
Kneeing someone in the face while they're restrained is not law enforcement. They are taunting the public. They want us to react with the same energy so they can really let their dogs loose on us.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

I am so very sorry to hear about the passing about my friend and colleague Professor Kimuli Kasara. She was a brilliant scholar and a bright, funny, warm person. I remember first meeting her as the only other Black woman/faculty at the Columbia political econ seminar and feeling relief/happiness
