Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

An extraordinary paragraph. buff.ly/uH5ykhX
The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesivebecause of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about "Western civilization," while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

The GOP’s Voter Integrity Sham Make the Republicans hell bent on passing the SAVE Act put money where their mouths are.

I just applied for a passport renewal. The cost was $149 including postage. Requiring a passport or similar proof of citizenship to vote is thus a poll tax. The SAVE Act before the Senate asks to do just that.

Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them NO SAVE ACT

Building the camps The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.

"...what we’re witnessing is the express repetition of a project on the scale of the larger concentration camp systems in historyβ€”the Soviet Gulag, the Nazi concentration camps, and Chinese labor camps in the People’s Republic of China."

This is a piece you need to read and share while we can.

Trump calls Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show a 'slap in the face to our country' President Donald Trump criticized Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime show, calling it "absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER," in a post on Truth Social.

He is just a horrible bitter racist man who has no understanding of our country or the world.

Because if he did, he would know that Spanish is spoken in more countries around the world than any other language. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/trump...

Yes, everyone should manage their own risk. Resisting ICE, even as a peaceful and law-abiding observer, is not risk-free. We’ve seen people brutalized and killed for it.

But I want people to weight risks correctly. They likely know who you are - you’re following them! The risk is primarily violence

Homeless Oregon youth got $1,000 a month for two years. Most found housing after β€’ Oregon Capital Chronicle Oregon is the second of its kind in the nation to implement the direct cash transfer program after New York City.

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."

A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.

Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

When one mother was taken by ICE, another stepped in to donate breastmilk Moms in Minneapolis are donating diapers, food and time to help families who have been ripped apart by ICE.

A newborn in Minneapolis hadn’t eaten for a day and a half

Her mother risked going into work when ICE took her away. At home waiting for her were her 16yo daughter and the 3mo baby

The teen tried to feed the baby, who was exclusively breastfed, formula to no avail 19thnews.org/2026/02/minn...

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump β€” 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.
