What’s happening here is accelerating and expanding no matter if you are still hearing about it or not. Minneapolis is a fascist police state where they are disappearing whole families while going door-to-door to ethnically cleanse the city.
It’s happening here.

The one advantage any of us have over fascism is that we plan to persist it. Fascism is highly ephemeral, it’s unsustainable, it is not a long game. The damage they do until they fall on their own sword is most of the resistance work. The defeat is (unfortunately) a function of time.

Got a very good system of changing colors on my #plotter without any goofy calibration problems or registration issues (way more rigid) and made it out of a retractable pen tube with the spring reversed and the detent cam removed shoved between two well sized eye bolts in a piece of 3/4 square dowel

Spent a month trying a lot of very elaborate approaches, including leveling it with a micrometer, and…my first idea is the best solution…move the spring in a retractable pen to be behind the cartridge, done and done. Now it’s a spring loaded pen, you can adjust tension with the threaded segments.

If or when I get caught in some immigration stop, I am going to have endless fun with the fact that I am an (on paper) Mayflower descendant, and no branch of my family try has crossed the Atlantic since the mid 19th century. I am as “native” (their version of the word) as they come.

The government is openly waging a war against its own citizens as they protest. I don't know what else can even be said. The federal government is instigating a war against its own people. The goal is all of us dead. Its about fucking time elected officials respond to the moment we live in for once.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. 👨🏻🍳 💋

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

Everything about this is so fucking bad but the part that stands out to me is where the woman is like "can we call someone for help?" and the answer, unspoken, is no. There is no one to call.
The Minnesota government has failed to call up the National Guard or otherwise protect their people
