I really can't state this enough.
Federal agents have been teargassing parks and residential neighborhoods for weeks but didn't show up for a fight downtown today and look what didn't happen.
Wishing absolute worst wishes to our occupying forces. GTFO of Minnesota.

Note how there's no violence or chaos when the cops aren't rioting.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

And here’s an Omni jet landing in Equatorial Guinea yesterday. This is very likely a third-country removal to a torture prison, the second in a week and the third there overall.

Venezuelan family seeking asylum -- entered legally, both parents with college degrees -- took their 7-year-old to the ER for a nosebleed and fever. ICE, which is now targeting hospitals as well as churches schools, blocked the child from getting care and detained them instead
The parents of a 7 year old, all of whom are in the process of applying for asylum, took their daughter to the ER when her nose wouldn't stop bleeding. ICE picked them up near the hospital and they are now in detention in Texas, presumably awaiting deportation. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Thanks for introducing me to this. Going to be listening to a lot more of her and I had never heard of her before.
Yes many pretenders to the mantle heroic-prophetic punk-folk radical but Carsie Blanton is it. Jailed by Israeli authorities for participating in a Gaza aid flotilla. Brilliant wry witty songwriter, nails the hard truths about everyday life in Trump's fascist USA. She should be as big as Springsteen

Another day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands.

Something I have repeatedly been saying to my friends in Massachusetts is: Look at all the people fighting in Minnesota. If you're inspired by them (which you should be) then *now* is the time to get ready to protect Massachusetts. Involvement is empowerment. Doom is surrender.
I’m watching friends succumb to doom watching what’s happening in Minnesota and I want to shake them and scream “Can’t you see the people organizing? Can’t you see them winning?”. Doom is a warm blanket of helplessness that keeps you from the fight.
doom is cope, everybody's saying it

The White House used AI to make a calm and unbothered Nekima look like she was crying for the same reason that an ICE agent shot Renee Good after she told him “I’m not mad at you.” Nothing triggers fascists like a woman whose emotions are her own.
