Minneapolis Council Member Jason Chavez, calling for statewide eviction moratorium. When he asks constituents to stay home, shelter in place, they ask: "How am I gonna pay my rent? How am I going to afford groceries? How do you expect me to change my whole life and get kicked out of my rental unit?"

Where Trump has direct authority, he has been able to exercise it in dangerous and authoritarian ways (ICE and CBP). Where Trump must rely on informal coercion, he is less successful, especially if/when those institutions resist. (4/?)

There are places where Trump, as president, has broad freedom of action. And there are places where Trump, as president, has been able to act unilaterally because the main point of opposition, Congress (and SCOTUS), support his program. (1/?)

I think trumpism, in absolute terms, is quite weak but has also been largely immune to certain factors that many people assumed would constrain authoritarianism. The key is not to assume trumpism is all-powerful, but to be specific and realistic about the ways in which it is actually vulnerable.

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

Just so people outside of MN know - a lot of the US citizens getting “arrested” by ICE never get processed at Whipple. They are roughed up during the arrest and then often dropped off miles from where they were picked up. It means we don’t know the true scale of what ICE is doing based on ICE stats

Minneapolis is headed towards something resembling a general strike, if you were wondering how the campaign to cow working people into quiescence is going
Last night, The Minneapolis Federation of Educators Local 59 signed on to the call for a Jan 23 shutdown. That brings total labor support to: the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1005, SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, CWA Local 7250, St. Paul Federation of Educators Local 28, and the MFE 59
Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

the sort of liminal space american politics exists in rn — a fed govt that *wants to be* fascist and *is* doing a ton of violence/damage but is also very clearly outnumbered and losing battles left and right in elections, courts, the streets — is i think hard for a lot of us to get our heads around
ICE can't even deal with irate middle-aged midwesterners. how does he occupy hundreds, if not thousands, of polling cites and precincts? trump v. illinois clarified that he has no legal authority to unilaterally commandeer national guards, how does he move forward from there?

it’s actually not hard to gauge the quality of any given tv show—if the characters involved make correct moral choices, it’s a good show. this is why the sopranos is considered one of the worst shows ever made, and it’s why every year the outstanding drama emmy goes to paw patrol

If you paint a wall like a tunnel and a bunch of ICE agents crash into it and they all come out of the car bobbing up and down like accordions, you're giving Donald Trump exactly what he wants. You're better than that Minnesota. Don't Give in.
State investigators have been on the scene in North Minneapolis.
I know you’re angry. I’m angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets.
But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community, and of peace.
Don’t give him what he wants.

Among perpetrators of violence, there is a very small share who are independently motivated to violence. But the vast majority of perpetrators commit violence to seek approval and status from others.
This is particularly true among men who use violence to affirm their masculinity.

I’ve said it before, but it’s so funny how this, of all movies, cuts the deepest into Musk’s racist buffoonery.
In The Naked Gun the evil world-destroying billionaire boasts that you can still say the original title for the Black-Eyed Peas' "Let's Get It Started" in his private club, and as it turns out, this exact kind of insane elite overreaction to being told "no" is the primary reason we have fascism now.
