Seems to me like a lot of civilizations of the past were really good at killing people. I donβt think that makes us special at all

I know it feels like the day-to-day intensity of the ICE occupation in Minnesota has calmed down, but there are so many lagging problems that need solving, right as peopleβs attention goes elsewhere. Financial assistance, like help with rent, and legal help for the detained. These horrors persist.
Iranβs people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
Itβs almost like heβs hoping for it so that he can have an excuse to use βemergency powersβ
Theyβre intentionally vague about what documents can be used to prove citizenship so that people canβt prepare
The Ukrainian resistance has become a symbol of resilience since the first day of the invasion.
BREAKING
Former ICE agent:
On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.
ICE was the quarry target this morning and then driving dangerously through northeast & downtown.
ICE is still very much here and we need to make sure we still have people out keeping watch for our neighbors.
Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate β overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.
Look at what theyβre doing to schools. Attendance cut in half or more in many. Armed, masked agents lurking in the parking lots at dropoff time, forcing families to physically protect children with their bodies. The other day ICE drew weapons outside an elementary school, forcing it into lockdown.
So let me get this straight for what happened at Whipple today. A violent neo-Nazi who was released from jail the day prior does a drive-by pepper spray on an innocent group of people, and Minneapolis police arrest the people who were sprayed and not the Nazi that sprayed them. Alrightβ¦
After 6am this morning in Whittier, MinneapolisβFOUR BLOCKS from where Pretti was murdered.
18 agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) markings smashed an apartment window, ran in, and came out with one man.
This is what they consider βde-escalating."
They donβt know the resiliency of Ward 9 neighbors though. We arenβt stopping until the whole dam system is abolished.
In the south side of Minneapolis, community members have started setting up filter blockades- which are make shift roundabouts. The intent is to slow down the erratic ICE driving behavior among other things. Full report to come on @statuscoupnews.bsky.social
My office has been flooded with reports of the cruel, unsafe, unlawful conditions inside of the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis.
This weekend, I was finally granted access to perform oversight of the facility. youtu.be/0SxPn8n2Bfg
We are currently looking to raise $4600 for a south Minneapolis family that is two months behind on rent.

Federal agents at powderhorn park
This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/
Would be great to connect at some point. Ever go to Arbeiter to watch the streams?
Wow, very nice! would love to see them at the sphere but wasnβt able to get tickets :(
My last show was the united center in Chicago. First show was in 2009. I think Iβm around 50ish shows at this point. Also a big Alpine guy as Iβm originally from around there
@mistermpls.bsky.social always nice to meet another phish fan from mpls :)
this was a legit motivator even for everyday people in nazi occupied areas of Eastern Europe during the Holocaust
The implication being that if you tell on your neighbor and they are abducted, you can move into their apartment for free and claim all their belongings
Mockler: He's trying to paint the peaceful protesters as lawless people. You know who's actually lawless? ICE. A Republican appointed judge said they violated more court orders in January than most agencies have throughout their entire existence.
Also interested if available
Quick Racket giveaway!
We've got one extra ticket to the Tom Morello show at First Ave today. RT by 10 a.m. for a chance to win!
The catch? The ticket is non-transferrable, so you'll have to meet Keith at the door around 11.
Racist propaganda found on the lawns of Bloomington and Minneapolis on Tuesday morning
Racist propaganda is being distributed klan-style throughout Bloomington/South Minneapolis. My coworker found one of these on his lawn when he woke up Tuesday morning. Some are purportedly being poisoned as well, he mentioned one of his neighbors went to the ER after opening one.
Help these MN immigrants return home to their families after being dumped from detention in El Paso. Coordinating safe trips back home to their families.
Holocaust Remembrance Day: a good day to remind ourselves that the logical result of an unchecked Trump regime is one of genocide, the beginning stages of which we are already seeing play out. Remembering is good, but it needs to be accompanied by action.
Seven Democratic Senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary:
