This is probably the most accurate description.
Someone in their mid-50s today told me that this is the first time he had thought about or been affected by politics. And that guy is actively guarding buildings and his coworkers from ICE.

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:
America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.
What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

This is Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales
She is 22 years old and has a U.S. birth certificate
ICE detained her for -25 days- and now is being forced to wear an ankle monitor by ICE because they question her citizenship status

This isn’t immigration policy. It’s a business model.
ICE keeps growing, not because it makes America safer, but because corporations are raking in billions off cages, bodies, and suffering. ICE’s existence is a massive revenue stream.

Schumer and Jeffries must step down from leadership if we have any hope to reform this country.
They are all part of the same club. They work for the corporate donors and all they want is restoration.
They won't fight b/c it's not in their interest.
It's so clear and yet still...

Her mother called 911 for help… and got turned into ICE instead.
They placed her and her five year old daughter in a hotel and told them not to contact anyone.
ICE didn’t want the community fighting for them.
Mother & daughter have been deported to Honduras and the local police were complicit.

This photo was taken by Sean Gallup for Getty Images. It captures the thousands who gathered in the capital Nuuk, to reject Trump’s threats to take the island.
