Gavin Newsom has never had a homeless, a working unhoused, or an affordable housing advocate on his podcast despite governing California.

So yeah I think it’s weird that he’s entertained & platformed multiple fascists while grinning, nodding & relenting to their easily defeatable talking points.

Yes please! This is what Gov Walz should’ve been announcing last night, not “good luck with your mutual aid & whistles.”
Today the Minneapolis City Council unanimously passed a resolution calling on Governor Walz to enact an eviction moratorium to keep Minneapolis families in their homes to protect them from ICE.

I know it isn't the most important thing but if that is one of the original copies of the Declaration of Independence on the wall it is getting damaged by the bright lighting
As WSJ calls Mamdani a "communist" for suggesting that the wealthiest pay tax rates that are still lower than they were under Eisenhower, Trump is engaged in bona fide communism by forcing state ownership of major commercial ventures. Here's yet another one.

Gov. Tim Walz said the state is creating a "database of atrocities" by federal agents against Minnesotans.

The Minnesota Attorney General's Office has launched a form where residents can share information about the actions of federal agents in Minnesota: www.ag.state.mn.us/Federal-Acti...

The Streisssnd effect is an icy bitch.

🚨 Everyone in Minnesota!! You need this DHS PSA:

You should NOT POUR WATER ON THE GROUND TO FREEZE BY ICE VEHICLES so the goons slip.

REPEAT: DO NOT MAKE TREACHEROUS ICE SLIDES WHERE GOONS WILL BE WALKING!!!
DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin on "acts of violence" against ICE agents in Minnesota: "Pouring water on the ground so that it would freeze the ground in front of our federal law enforcement vehicles so that they would potentially slide, crash, and potentially kill them"

Have had the unfortunate experience of watching broadcast all day. Insanity inducing to watch the coverage of last night ("they threw water bottles!").

Heavily armed men attacked an entire neighborhood. People only smashed cars *after* feds had left the area and poisoned blocks of family homes.

It’d be a real shame if our nation’s noble ethnic cleansers came down with a mass epidemic of explosive diarrhea from some bad food they all ate. I hope the people making their food take extra care to prevent that from happening.
One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

A reminder that you now live in a country that has concentration camps & multiple classes of citizenship & party-affiliated paramilitaries knocking door-to-door hunting groups it doesn’t like, & we told you this would happen if people didn’t go to jail & weren’t barred from office for trying a coup.

DHS said the man died while he tried to commit suicide and “violently resisted security staff.”

A medical examiner called it “asphyxia due to neck and chest compression.”

A witness told the Washpost *on the record* that guards choked him as he said, “no puedo respirar.”

I hope he can find time to attend Board of Peace meetings between meetings about invasions of Venezuela, Iran, Greenland, Canada, and Minneapolis
What happens when the Board of Peace recommends renaming the Department of War, and the Department of War moves to rename the Board of Peace?
