It’s day 77 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

This long weekend ICE continued to hit suburban communities hard - ICE is still very present across the metro

There are still thousands of ICE agents in Minnesota, and tens of thousands of neighbors ready to stand up.

ICE OUT.

Really not liking how open the new PT place is. Nothing obscuring the tables from the windows or waiting area. Way to trigger self consciousness, especially since I can see more of another client than than a stranger should. And loud, no verbal privacy.

NEW:

One of the most progressive institutions in the U.S., The New School, has begun destroying its humanities departments.

They have cancelled one of their most popular classes, "Global Soccer and World Politics."

We are going to teach it anyway.

Come on. Oh he never wore wooden teeth. The truth is worse. They mention his dentures including human teeth in the article. Where'd he get those teeth from? He yanked them from the mouths of the Black people he owned.
The Siege of Boston was George Washington's first campaign as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army and, in many ways, set the stage for his military and political successes — celebrated on Presidents Day.
No, George Washington didn't have wooden teeth. Yes, he led the Siege of Boston
More than a decade before he became the country’s first president, George Washington was leading a critical campaign in the early days of the American Revolution.

And they be like oh I can't tell if the posters from Gaza are fake. Well I know they're real because they're my friends that I talk to, & that choice is available to you all.
It's real funny how if you treat people in Gaza like people they treat you like a person back. Try it. They have lovely hearts.

Off-topic, but whoever did the "CHamoru" translation for the sign is an oddity.

A simple "Adahi" would've been better with a sign of explosives going off.

Bluesky is intentionally shutting down voices from Palestine.

Most of the news of developments on the ground in Gaza I have heard first from these accounts, and only days or sometimes weeks later from news organizations.

Bluesky is helping to hide the reality of this genocide.

Stop acting morally superior for using bsky but not other social media. Bsky has shown dozens of times that Palestinians, Native people, and Black people are treated unfairly. They needlessly ban accounts and almost always give the bullshit excuse of "spammy behavior"

Hello everyone

I am journalist Tamer Nahed from Gaza. I have returned once again after my previous account was shut down twice due to content related to Palestine.
