ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota.

This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats.

They hate the helpers.

Which is why must keep helping.
Twin Cities tow truck driver returns abandoned vehicles to families after ICE arrests
Juan Leon sends a "chase" car to check out where abandoned vehicles are located and arranges discreet drop-offs. Since late December, he estimated they have dropped off 250 cars.

San Francisco was a paradise before tech bros and neolib fascists that want to incarcerate the homeless took over. I still treasure my memories of visiting the city prior to the late 2010s.
SF is the most beautiful major American city. Very funny/good to see people who thought it is hell discover this objectively true fact and other amazing things the city has (burritos).
San Francisco is actually beautiful Super Bowl fans discover
This week, the fake narrative of San Francisco as a failed city was laid to rest.

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!

When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.

Speaking of the Norwegian red hats everyone is knitting: knitters have raised over $300k for MN by buying the $5 pattern.

And symbols (like red hats) are a vital part of any resistance movement. They are used to unite members and serve as a visible display of opposition to the regime.

The hypocrisy is obvious but at the same time, I am totally in favor of the WaPo spending as much ink as possible highlighting how for the first time in forever, Democrats are making life miserable for the political party currently hated by 62% of Americans

And it’s not just mental heath crises. Fully half of the people killed by police in the US have a disability.

What folx need to understand is that cops are not well-trained in deescalation or conflict resolution.

All they have that we don’t is that gun, and permission to use it to end a conflict.

Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.
