Thank you 🫶🏻

My son told me that most of the immigrant students in his school are doing the virtual option, and the laptop has to be facing the teacher for the kids’ privacy. It’s basically just white and Black students in class and everyone else is invisible to everyone but the teacher. Fucking bleak.
Did I mention that large portions of MN’s population are in hiding right now? Kids are missing school. Adults can’t go out to work. People aren’t able to buy food or pay rent, and mutual aid is all keeping everyone going. We keep us safe, on our own, and people are being shot in the street for it

Seriously—you don’t want ALL your people out in the street.
I keep seeing posts going "when ICE comes to MY city, we'll be out in the streets even harder" and man, I get that sentiment but I need everyone to understand that the work in Minneapolis is partly confrontational but MORE IMPORTANTLY aaallll the stuff organized in the background to help neighbors

In an Irish context this was called ‘felon setting’; a favourite tactic of Dublin Castle to punish via RIC/DMP visits to employers & landlords. But after #EasterRising Irish Times eagerly leaped to print detailed lists leaked to them, not realising how this would soon be a roll of honour #spéirgorm

You walk into this bar and show your ICE mugshot, you don't pay a dime.
Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.

Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

every Signal chat of laypeople is losing their minds over the wildest opsec advice imaginable and every Signal chat of security professionals is like “dude wtf”

The vast majority of problems can be avoided by not being foolish, being aware of your surroundings, and using common sense

The Boss’ song is lovely, but this one made me cry and feel very seen.

But Bruce gets a big high five for pronouncing Nicollet right!

The Democratic Party leadership's failure to honestly and with integrity propose any policy solutions that will address these issues is a moral and strategic catastrophe.

Thanks, Boss.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Super normal night where you hear a helicopter that’s not even making loops and isn’t on radar. And even more normal that there’s not a single plane flying over the city 🙃

Oh no, my neighbors will know? You mean those people I went to the vigil with on Saturday? Or the ones who picked up whistles from my house? Or do you mean the ones I met with to talk about how to start a mutual aid fund?
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

So proud of my congresswoman
I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Christin is a dear friend and I'm so glad she's running for School Board. No one will stand for Minneapolis Public Schools, the students, the teachers, the families, like she will. Christin has literally been on the front lines fighting the ICE occupation for them. I'm proud to support her candidacy
My name is Christin Crabtree, and I'm running for Minneapolis School Board - At Large.

There are so many important ways to plug in right now, but if you're looking for one that's about building towards the flourishing schools and city we all deserve, I'd love your support.
January 27, 2026 at 3:19 PM
I’ve know Christin for 15 years, since our babies went to preschool together. She’s been a tireless, passionate advocate for her community for as long as I’ve known her. She’s also brave af and speaks up even when it could cost her. You couldn’t hope for a better school board member!

Nobody should look to these folks for moral clarity, but in this case, as you would imagine, “weigh in” equals weaksauce, anodyne statement designed mostly to not offend.
