i’m not carrying my passport i’m an american goddamn citizen and fuck you for asking. officer.
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.

A buddy in MN shared a drawing a classmate of his kid made. They've been making thank you notes for parents who have volunteered to carpool them to school so their own parents don't have to risk waiting out by the bus stop.

if any of you beautiful freaks live in dane county — i know i have at least a handful in my menchies!! — let’s hang out. and/or join dsa
This is the thing you should be building today. Talk to your neighbors. Get a signal rapid response channel going. It's okay if it starts small. Have something ready that people can join when the need arises. Get the lines of communication open. That way, when ICE comes, you're ready.

Getting a lot of messages. A lot are like "Can I come help?" (appreciated, but unless you know the area very well, probably not THAT useful) or "Can I send money?" (not to me, please).
But the best ones are like "I want to build what you guys have back in my home city." YES, DO THAT. DO IT NOW.

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

Okay folks, one thing you need to understand about social media is that in participating in it *you* are creating rhetoric.
My recent posts are trying to address that fact and maybe get you to think a little bit harder about what your rhetoric might encourage or discourage.

if rethuglicans want me to obey them then they can come to my house and draw a gun on me. i’ll obey them while they do that and i’ll stop as soon as they leave. they will never, ever, have my compliance except through direct and sustained application of force
"Oh but who cares they have the guns and will do what they want". Yeah, okay. We're going to be ruled by raw force. Really. Yeah I don't think that's happening, ever, and I know it's not happening for ME.

whiteness always grows to keep it from being a minority and shrinks to keep it from being a majority. whiteness exists to be the largest plurality — right around, say, 30% — in a system, so that it can have enough enemies to fight but not so many to surrender
Serious question; does white supremacist thinking include a caste system to be imposed on "whites" after all others are removed?

that is a pretty good second reason to explain the behavior of the MPD yeah
To the people out of state who keep saying “why won’t the local cops stop ICE” you need to understand that ICE is overwhelmingly the largest force on the ground in Minneapolis. They outnumber Minneapolis cops four to one. They’re more likely to stop the cops than the other way around
The Star Tribune had an insane graphic about the presence of immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. There are more immigration officers in the metro right now than local police officers.

the inescapable weakness of encryption is that ultimately it has to be decrypted and then shone into a human being’s eyeballs. there are two problems with this: one, we do not yet have lasers that shine only into one person’s eyeballs (reüsably), and two, people are allowed to be stupid or tortured
I need people who don’t live in the Twin Cities to stop telling people not to join massive Signal groups right now. People are doing it. They’re going to keep doing it. Give them good advice about it.
The actually practical advice is don’t say anything to 1000 strangers you wouldn’t say in public

Even if you assume that protestors exercise superhuman levels of restraint, this is a country that has culturally enshrined a fantasy of using force against people that step on your lawn. All it takes is one person to generate an incident that will serve as a pretext.

i am minneapolis born and bred but as a communist and current wisconsin resident i cannot fucking beLIEVE they would insult the only municipally owned team in the nfl like this. and u-dub! fuck you! i wish every ice agent a merry “only one bullet in the magazine today” and a moment of clear shame
Would love to know how famously famously protective sports teams and associations feel about ICE using their trademarked logos to celebrate the destruction of communities

THEY BREAK UPON US
Yes: we are essentially tanking the DHS paramilitary army for the rest of America right now. They have to break us because they’re pulling men out of everywhere else for this surge, and if it fails, what then? But they will not break us.
There is no way they can sustain this without all their other areas losing capacity.
