As terrible as the situation is, I love seeing Minneapolis step up and show up for their community. They have a long history of anarchism and antifascism going back to the 80s, and their history of radical activism is very strongly linked to Portland's own. Fuck around and find out.

The thing I love most about social media is seeing all these posts:

“Hi, I’ve been wrong about every facet of American politics and policing for my entire life.

Here’s why I should be given a microphone and should lead the resistance as the loudest and only voice in the room…”

Locked in a perpetual struggle to stay awake when I need to, or stay asleep for more than 1-3 hours at a time, and when I am awake, half the time I need to periodically go lay down

I need like one solid night of uninterrupted, 8 hours of sleep pls

Things really went downhill after they cancelled The OA, and I'm not saying they're linked, but I'm also not saying they're not linked

The Department of Homeland Security is refusing to release information on 3 detained Oglala Lakota tribal members who are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp for Native people, unless the tribe enters into an immigration agreement with ICE.

If experienced activists from 2020 learned nothing else, I can guarantee that we all learned very quickly not to trust the media or politicians, and that both will completely misrepresent everything that happens otg, whether by accident or as part of a calculated disinfo campaign

Wildly vacillating between rage, dread, antifa tactician, and wanting to cuddle up all sleepy and mash my face into blankets with a hot baddie, all of which is honestly the current baseline

Flashes me back to 2020 a little bit, except it's not PDX... yet

My "What You Need To Know About Tear Gas" thread:

First, tear gas is a particulate, not an actual vapor or gas. In some cases, this means you can get some of the tear gas off your clothes by standing in a stiff breeze or strong fan.

It's fascinating how many people are talking as if 2020 never happened and they've never seen any of what's transpiring before, despite the mass of footage and activists being loud as hell about it. Far less security culture now too.

PDX in particular was a test. We tried to warn ya'll ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think that people don’t comprehend that the state has been unapologetically beating young people’s asses basically nonstop & charging us with massive crimes for protesting since at least Occupy Wall Street & growing up like that has a chilling effect on the way people engage with democracy

You know someone's had a tiring day when they fall asleep in the middle of a FaceTime call, so you just leave them on video like it's a baby monitor, then they wake up for a minute, and promptly roll over on their other side after a little mumble and fall right back asleep 😅

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.

Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.

BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

For those who've been in denial, rambling don't take the bait, let Minneapolis be a lesson that kills your naivete and ignorance. There is no bait, it's not a distraction. This is a planned and violent occupation, it won't be the first, and no amount of peaceful protest makes a damn difference.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.

You could be next.

The House voted 341 to 79 to fund Trump's war-mongering foreign policy agenda.

This week feels unusually long and tense, and the days are bleeding together into a haze of waiting for the hammer to drop, yearning and wanting cuddles, being tired and sleeping erratically, thinking about anarchist shit to work on, with your head constantly on a swivel. Weird fucking times ya'll.

Music idea, sample the sound of ICE agents falling, slow it down and add reverb, do ASMR making the like k-k-k-k, a-h-h-h-h sound from Friday the 13th

I rarely say much about Laura Jedeed, because I always feel a little torn and socials aren't places of nuance or complexity, but I don't think she's a bad person. I do think she's made some really poor and problematic choices, and I wish she would self-reflect more and consider a different approach.
I have mixed feelings, and it's important to note that folks in PDX actually know her irl. I like her as a person, she's really nice, and we always got along, but her approach is misguided, and she should unravel why she clings hard to being close w/ the right, given her background and upbringing.
