If you were in St Paul today, thank you.
We need more observers. There’s a thin line between protesting and observing. You don’t have to be on the front line!
If you see staging activity, call a response hotline! Describe what you see.

Hey twin cities friends!
There’s a new website for the Mn Rapid Response network, now called Monarca.
It has the hotline to call if you see 🧊 activity as well as Know Your Rights information and lists upcoming community trainings.
A great resource. Please share widely!

MSP folks: I have a question about the Bro-Tex raid from someone who works at a different manufacturing facility. When ICE showed up, did they come through the front door, through the back door/loading dock, or through both at once?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

All Summer in a Day
Jim Theis’ 1970 The Eye of Argon [1] is a stand-alone sword and sorcery novelette. It was originally published in OSFAN 10.
The barbarian Grignr has many skills. Avoiding danger is not one of them.

What he's saying obliquely is, even if we can't enforce the Hatch Act to get people fired from the Administration, Bluesky totally CAN kick people off for violating it ON HERE.
But only if you report it.

Some assorted reminders as we enter the weekend:
1. Posting illegal content is a violation of §3.B of the Bluesky terms of service.
2. Violations of the TOS may be reported through the app. See TOS §6.A
3. The Hatch Act (5 USC §7321 et seq) is a law.

But that’s no excuse for not showing up.
Show up to a protest on the 18th. It’s a way to stand up and be counted for the proposition that what these people are doing to your country is not right, not acceptable.

This brought out a bunch of doomers "...but! but!"-ing with all of the obstacles facing a pro-democracy movement in the USA, but I think it is worth thinking about the question from the other side.
What does MAGA need to do to do (not how, just what) to hold power long-term? Are they doing it?

Well, I guess my question for all of the doomers now would be why they think no one can stop Donald Trump from taking our democracy from us?
