cool thing about this @lyz.bsky.social excerpt is I'm pretty sure I know which guy she's talking about but I'd believe it if you told me any of them said that

Federal judge orders release of Minneapolis man detained and sent to Texas with 2-year-old daughter The pair were among the immigrants swept up in Operation Metro Surge.

Thank you to everyone who helped share this story and contributed to the GoFundMe for the family.

Two-year-old Chloe, Elvis, and their entire family should never have experienced this. They will finally be together again for the first time in 50 days.

Hey folks - @dbrauer.net put together these t shirts in honor of all of the work folks did to fight back ICE. All profit goes to Lucy Laney school here in north Minneapolis. Also some options just to support the school.

didn’t know i had more room for dread but “Rob Sand unopposed for the nomination.” actually did do the trick

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.

Absolutely awful result in the "antifa terrorism" trial against the Prairieland noise demonstrators. Innocent people convicted under conspiracy statutes because they had zines at home, or wore black, or were in a Signal chat — even those who did not actually participate in the demonstration.

Iowa ranks second in cancer rates. It’s also 7th in country for population decreases. Also, its water is polluted with nitrates from agriculture runoff. But the state’s main priority is passing laws to strip trans people of their rights.

We have a verdict and we are heartbroken at the results.

This is only the beginning. We will continue to fight the remaining charges until every defendant is home.

Anti-ICE protesters accused of being part of antifa found guilty of support for terrorism in Texas Case was seen as major test of the first amendment and whether the US could use broad anti-terrorism statute to prosecute leftwing protesters

Breaking news: A jury convicted people who protested outside an ICE facility in Texas of providing material support to terrorists, and other charges in a closely watched case in which the gov't argued the protesters were "Antifa". www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

i think it's really really bad for Dems to roll with the idea that taxes are bad instead of 'everyone deserves a living wage'. if you ever wanted to add fuel to the "takers and makers" argument this is basically lobbing them an alley-oop

If Democrats continue being who they are, 2027-2029 will be a lot of shrugging because they don't have the votes to do anything. We need the presidency. Once we do that we shrug because the Supreme Court won't let us do anything. Then we all wait for the next fascist to come to power

Thanks so very much @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social for helping to cut resources for the city you're supposed to be running.

apparently a military wife i went to high school with went on a facebook rant the other day. maybe i’m nuts here but i think if your husband signed up to kill for the us government it’s fair to “get political” about it

[sweating]

“Fund the police” was Biden’s *applause* line in his first joint address to Congress. It was written to echo LBJ saying “we shall overcome” in his joint address as a lifeline to a movement under attack. I really don’t bring it up enough.

i believe in jinxes now

also super cool: they’ll slow down to take your photo if you’re just walking down the street near them! Super cool that the sheriffs started doing The Stuff The Nazis Are Doing.

NEW: Tenants Call on Minneapolis City Council to Override Mayor's Veto on Eviction Protections

On March 12, renter's rights advocates gathered to speak about the importance of an eviction moratorium following Operation Metro Surge, the deadly multi-month-long federal occupation of Minnesota.

The average amount of back rent for folks of these 43 filings is $865.

This is why people need extra time to get their resources together. It’s so frustrating.
