No one of any consequence. Many interests & wearing several hats, so my posts/reposts will inevitably be all over the place.

🙋♂️we absolutely do not need violent tactics right now. Use your fucking minds, people. Miller, et al. are practically begging for people to get violent and/or start destroying property. They want that so they can crack heads.
i guess i would like to hear the theory on which setting fire to a random dumpster advances the cause of stopping ice

The rhetoric that got Renee Good murdered was, “I’m not mad at you.”
Homan: "I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March -- if the rhetoric doesn't stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn't right. I don't want to see anybody die."

So this is pure gangsterism, and also premised on the absurd notion that the people of Minneapolis would just lie back and take it if not for Tim Walz saying mean things about ICE.

After all this is over, we need to pass a law that makes social media posts from official agency accounts like this subject to perjury, equivalently to testimony before Congress. It is too destructive to the country to let them keep lying and lying and lying without any possible legal remedy.

Gov. Walz calls out federal officials who described Alex Pretti as a 'domestic terrorist.'
"Sitting behind a keyboard at 2 a.m. and besmirching a V.A. nurse and a son and a co-worker and a friend is despicable beyond all description."

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

honestly if you have a republican senator, call them about this funding shit, too, and use the angle of gun rights / 2A if you have to
it's wild that we just need 5 - 10 congressional republicans to not suck for this to be over - like they just need to not be total shithead losers for five minutes and they can't even do that bc they actually deeply hate their constituents

I'm asking people not to entertain anything other than a political solution for political problems. I'm not trying to be a contrarian. I've seen a civil society devolve into violence and I don't want to see it here.

It is genuinely insane to watch capital decide that allowing this shit to go on is better for them than having to allow the FTC to do mild monopoly investigations and require cancellation buttons on websites.

administration *keeps* wandering into THE NORTH REMEMBERS territory, getting close to breaking bread and salt taboos
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.

The American position is that climate change is a Chinese hoax which will expand Greenland's strategic importance for homeland defense and that is why U.S. allies who are too unwilling to stand up to evil should stop standing up to evil and cede their territory to protect their territory.

Dem leadership really needs to be talking to our allies on this, not just to the American people, because this is a dire threat to our future, and we'll have less work to do reclaiming trust the harder we stand up right now.

Something important about how regular folks have responded to the occupation in Minnesota is that it has created a permission structure for other people across the country to feel like they can fight this regime. Over the past couple of weeks I've seen a lot of people finally step off the sidelines.

The same people who spent the last 4 years arguing that Russian expansionism is not a problem, and that Ukraine being invaded was the fault of the West, are now arguing the US must take Greenland by force to stop… Russian expansionism.
It is astonishing how dumb their supporters are.
