Door Dash Imperialism. It's been one day and "nothing has happened yet." White supremacist racists are very smart.

@governorwalz.mn.gov what are you doing? Folks in MN are days away from rent being due but 10s of thousands of people are being impacted by ICE and the Federal government. You need to push to pass a rent moratorium until ICE IS OUT of MN. Please move on this fast.
Bro literally came out and said βitβs our labor and culture that has always made the Americas great: yβall are just the beneficiaries of slave owners from sea to shining sea,β and I am here for it.
Laughing at the people who seem to think that the halftime show that took place in the sugarcane fields wasnβt political
Do you know how many of our families cut sugar cane? For Americans to put in their cakes and tea while our cousins were forced to cultivate cotton and tobacco in their fields?
That is the story of so many of our families
OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

if you feel like passing around a link today and helping fundraise for rent that will actually get paid today (and in the next few days for families who have a grace period) you can send here.
we will be going hard all day. i wonβt be posting about it because I donβt want to flood your feeds.
please remember that no matter how many βICE is losing in MNβ articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.
people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.
DreamHaven Books owner Greg Ketter emerging from a cloud of tear gas that ICE agents fired into the streets of Minneapolis.
Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolisβ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will β now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. π§. dreamhavenbooks.com
πΆ People in the United States have been getting treated this way the whole time πΆ
Itβs not a boomerang, itβs an expansion
her TikTok about it is pretty amazing as well:

If Minnesota police are accusing you of racial profiling you must really be outta control
crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours.
please keep sharing with your networks.
I was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota.
If you have places for me to add, please DM me.
there is a reason why you are HEARING about the things that happen in this area. this community has a ton of organizers. they are oriented towards action. they stand up for their neighbors.
and because of all of that, and because they are also mostly BIPOC and poor, they are targeted by pigs.
Here is the fundraiser for Renee Goodβs wife and son, from a very trusted source.
Something I see a lot of folks missing in discussions about what's happening Venezuela, particularly around oil, is the role U.S. oil majors' interest in Guyanaβand the threat Venezuela posed to itβhas in all of it. Explainer here: drilled.media/news/guyana-...
I donβt want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed.
Here are the words she left behind:

This is a nice story about how libraries change lives.
OCLC loves to act like they're performing a great service out of a love for libraries. But OCLC is just performing extraction, and they'll happily remind anyone in court who forgets that.
RΓΌmeysa is one of the kindest, most compassionate people I have ever met. Many of you came to know her first and foremost as an ICE abductee, seized by a state that wanted to strip her of her humanity. I would like for you to know her in her own words, which are resoundingly human.
One day, our places of employ will actually listen to the records managers and destroy records like this in the normal course of business. On that day I shall hop on my pig and fly off into the sunset
This is so so sad.
And I donβt see many people talking about the student loan shit they jammed in that bill. Theyβve ensured only the rich can go the college. They capped the amount you can borrow over 4 years AND cut Grad Plus loans (which is how I paid my rent during law school).
Also there's no need to obscure US history of barbarism. Some folks always want to reach for Holocaust comparisons like there's not a guard tower from Angola in the Blacksonian, like camps used to hold Japanese Americans were a picnic.
They gave detainees wormy food. The facilities were filthy.

Not the New York Times calling most of Brooklyn and Queens the Commie Corridor.
what is it called when people who aren't cops and don't have a warrant drag you away, because I don't think "arrest" is the word
To note: the legislative session just wrapped up and their districts arenβt competitive.
Rep. Melissa Hortman is the most visible woman in Minnesota state politics. Sheβs the speaker emerita and the leader of the DFL House Caucus. She is not just a random member of the house.
