This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

Hey everyone,

We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history.

Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!
1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Abolish ICE.

If you work for ICE, you should quit to save your immortal soul.
Every day at noon, no matter how busy, Johny Merida Aguilar left his construction job and hurried to his 5-year-old son's school to feed him. His son has brain cancer and generally only accepts food from his father.

Merida Aguilar was arrested by ICE in September and faces deportation to Bolivia.
He was caring for his 5-year-old son with brain cancer. Then he was detained by ICE.
A court has temporarily blocked Johny Merida Aguilar's deportation to Bolivia.

This is the second CEO to come crawling to the public hat-in-hand to beg us to stop rejecting their product.

It’s almost like the inevitability of mass adoption was both wildly overstated, and just a bullying tactic to strong-arm consumers.

One reason it is, in fact, worth shaming those peddling "AI." It's on fragile ground, the cracks are showing and our refusal is actually really powerful.
There is no way to win this PR battle, LLMs and AI chatbots are synonymous with fraud, theft at an unprecedented scale, spam, abysmal quality, impersonal and ugly design, and dick-riding sycophancy that induces psychosis.

Nobody wants it. We hold firm, their investment crumbles.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Every day it’s another war crime. Every day it’s another impeachable offense. When will there be some accountability?
Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

There’s reports that there will be 1,000 more agents coming to our city. We need that same surge in residents out patrolling our streets. Even if you can’t patrol, come work from a coffee shop on one of cultural corridors so you can be there to show up for our neighbors.

People amazed at the quickness with which Minneapolis Mobilized should know that the structures the community built to survive the last time we were occupied by an invading violent State Force never went away because THE COPS WERE NEVER DEFUNDED.
No, we don't have the resources right now for a general strike. We don't have the rent and food funds or the bail funds or the child and healthcare funds.

But the response to that isn't "welp, we're fucked, so much for a general strike."

It's to start organizing those things in your community.

Whatever groups Good may or may not have been a part of have no bearing on what happened the day she was killed. Nor would her membership in any group justify her killing.

This is not an investigation. It's authoritarian propaganda.

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming
