Yeah this is how we should get policy updates from the president
Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.
As someone who started out in mathematics, it's saddening that I find out about these women when they die as opposed to when they were alive π

Guys, calm down. Most Minnesotan Christians can still worship, they just choose to do it the way Jesus did, ya know, love thy neighbor, welcome the stranger, donβt hire ICE pastors & such. 120 Minnesotan pastors also did this last week: bringmethenews.com/minnesota-ne...

Contact every pos lever of national & global power in your spheres of influence and proximity. demand they fight for Minnesota. Demand they remove ICE urgently and swiftly. demand your elected officials, your businesses, ambassadors, your people wherever they may be, demand they help us. Strike
Pt4
Nonviolent direct action is not passive and is how we win this battle. Establish peace, resist, apply strategic pressure, demand ICE out of Minnesota. Do not endanger additional lives by escalating with violence.οΏΌ
Pt3
If you allow that to happen they will respond in a way our folks arenβt prepared for. They require the consent via a violent pretext from our side in order to accomplish this. In this particular situation, any violent response will set back gains.
Pt 2
People donβt understand the nuances of what weβre dealing with here. Obviously resist. However thereβs necessary and effective strategy to nonviolent direct actions. They have to manufacture consent. We are on the verge of losing the narrative battle
Pt1
know with precision the enemy we face. Holding the line and establishing peace is our best line of defense against this enemy, unless some outside nation is planning to disarm our enemy, we need to apply economic pressure immediately and urgentlyβnational strike now!

As a Black Muslim Minnesotan, by way of the Middle Passage may Allah be my witness that I spent a lifetime affirming our human rights. I have no regrets. We stood firm in our solidarity with Palestine & Sudan, know we tried warning you. With love, Allahu Akbar βπ½ππ€²π½

"Artists have more to offer than our art."
Thanks to the hundreds of people who shared ideas and examples at our event focused on practical, down-to-earth ways artists can show up.
Here is the post-event report-back: notes, slides, collaborative "padlets," and more resources. Please put it to use:
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
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
We did a ride along. Not with law enforcement. But with the Minneapolis residents defending their communities from those very officers.
@premthakker.bsky.social's front-row seat at ICE's psychological warzone in Minnesota β and how residents are banding together against it:
I have never been prouder of my city, I have never been prouder of my state; Minnesota is united βπ½ππΈπ΄πΈπ΄πΈπ΄πΈπ΄πΈπ΄πΈπ΄πΈπ΄πΈπ΄πΈπ΄πΈπ΄πΈπ΄
