I wrote too briefly about a technical problem in our struggle which I am confident the creative streets can solve.

Professional athletes are being advised not to leave the hotel or go anywhere without their passports while visiting Minnesota.
This is not a country that can safely host international events like the World Cup.
Boycotting is not even a political question anymore. It is a basic issue of safety.
No need to imagine. The country incarcerates children as young as 9 years old daily in youth prisons and jails. Those children are routinely sexually and physically assaulted and also emotionally tortured. They are fed terrible food and given barely any education. This country has done this for yrs.
Today is February 1, the 32nd day of 2026, and police in US have murdered at least 193 people this year.

Some theory is necessary in order to know whether you’ve actually abolished capitalism or merely ameliorated it, and whether there’s a path from where you are to a planet where every has what they need to participate in society wo being forced to labor.
‘Capital cannot exist, it cannot become a social relationship, if it cannot confront an individual devoid of any value, and thus forced to sell the only commodity they possess - their labor power.’

National Nurse’s Union calls for ICE abolition www.nationalnursesunited.org/press/nnu-to...
It’s seems like though the haven’t shot a white activist in several days, ICE and BP have gotten worse in several areas since pulling Bovino from Minnesota, and now Minneapolis police, Minnesota State Police, and the National Guard are openly working with the feds.
This is called counter insurgency. It’s not just ICE needs abolished.
TEXT: I was Alex Pretti’s final nursing student. He was my friend and my nursing mentor. For the past four months, I stood shoulder to shoulder with him during my capstone preceptorship at the Minneapolis VA Hospital. There he trained me to care for the sickest of the sick as an ICU nurse. He taught me how to care for arterial and central lines, the intricacies of managing multiple IVs filled with lifesaving solutions, and how to watch over every heartbeat, every breath, and every flicker of life, ready to act the moment they wavered. Techniques intended to heal. Alex carried patience, compassion and calm as a steady light within him. Even at the very end, that light was there. I recognized his familiar stillness and signature calm composure shining through during those unbearable final moments captured on camera. It does not surprise me that his final words were, “Are you okay?” Caring for people was at the core of who he was. He was incapable of causing harm. He lived a life of healing, and he lived it well. Alex believed strongly in the Second Amendment and in the rights rooted in our Constitution and its amendments. He spoke out for justice and peace whenever he could, not only out of obligation, but out of a belief that we are more connected than divided, and that communication would bring us together.
TEXT: I want his family to know his legacy lives on. I am a better nurse because of the wisdom and skills he instilled in me. I carry his light with me into every room, letting it guide and steady my hands as I heal and care for those in need. Please honor my friend by standing up for peace, preferably with a cup of black coffee in hand and a couple of pieces of candy in your pocket, just as he would. He would remind you that caring for others is hard work, and we must do whatever it takes to get through the long shifts. Step outside with your dog, breathe in the world, hike or bike as he loved to do, and let yourself find peace in the quiet moments within nature. Stand up for justice and speak with those whose views differ from your own. Hold your beliefs with strength, but always extend love outward, even in the face of adversity. Take one step, no matter how small, to help heal our world. Through these acts, carry his light forward in his name. Let his legacy continue to heal.
From a FB post about Alex Pretti:
On the one hand, I’m glad members of the Cleveland Cavaliers are citing Anne Frank, on the other hand, I can remember when NBA players were going to strike for George Floyd and Obama told them to go back to work.
Someone just got murdered and they’re still in the streets. None of that “not our fight” nonsense. These are people who get it and aren’t backing down in the name of selfish cowardice.
Saw a post on IG of a protestor escaping ICE custody, gotta say: I'm loving it
