It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are.

It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo.

The ones that really mattered.

Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end.

Because how could the end be happy?

I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.

When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL

I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.

The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

Solidarity, particularly across race and class, is Kryptonite for authoritarian regimes. They can only thrive when their us v. them framing is adopted by society at large, and they join as active or passive collaborators with the regime. So the only response they have is to raise the cost of unity
They are telling us in unequivocal terms that if you show solidarity with immigrants who are in the literal crosshairs of Trump/MAGA, you're risking a death sentence.

All of them. Please understand that before this moment we were already over the line, it has just expanded to include more communities
Let me say something very directly.

We are objectively in a fascist authoritarian moment here in this country.

Academics and historians have established indicators for this. We are well over the line on many of them.

What is there to say? I’m a person beyond exhausted from personal trials looking at the news, my community, and my family, kicking into triage and strategy.

To say the least, work trip to Miami isn’t feeling like the right move right now.

this is why you still pursue justice after all this time. That shame didn't fuckin go anywhere.
They wheeled this Nazi asshole into court in a wheelchair and he was still trying to hide his face in shame 76 years after World War II ended. That's the kind of commitment I'm looking for.

Yes. And this is the moderate position.
Abolish ICE. Fire them all. Prosecute *every single abuse*.

If you’re an elected official, talking about reforming ICE should be instantly disqualifying. I don’t want to hear one goddam thing about electoral strategy

There is no excuse anymore, not that there was before. You don’t reform death squads

The Religious Right was one of the more effective and sneaky ones. It was a racist movement disguised as an anti-feminist movement disguised as an anti-LGBTQ movement disguised as a “pro morality” movement.

One of the many great evils of the Religious Right movement is that they mounted a remarkably successful propaganda campaign to make the idea of being religious **at all** into a right wing-captured one.

There is a video from across the street of half a dozen or so masked federal agents wrestling a man to the ground, punching him. Then there is a shot, then several others, until he is lying completely still.
You may want to be cautious if you don't want to see the video.
Star Tribune is reporting this as well now, multiple shots in the chest.

It's worth noting that the population of Minnesota is about 5.8 million, so close to 1 in 100 people in this entire amazing state showed up to say #FuckICE today
50,000+ marched against Operation Metro Surge and IN FAVOR of our neighbors in 10 Degree below weather.

If they can continue this for 3 days the local economy will grind to a halt, I hope they can manage it, general strikes might be the only real weapon the people have left
Massive anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis today draws thousands despite -10 degree weather. Their statewide strike calls for no work, no school, no shopping, and ICE out of Minnesota FOR GOOD. Cheering you on from Illinois!

When Trump dies we get Vance. Thiel’s pet.

They'll blame a lot of stuff on Trump AND try to fast-track an even uglier white supremacist techno-Christofascism.

We must prept for this now & organize accordingly.
Grassroots activism, coalitions. Dissent. Sand in gears. Strikes.

Every angle.

Arlit Maria Martinez is a mother of 4. Her son, Kevin, died of cancer while she was in ICE custody.

ICE refused her request to be at Kevin's side in his final moments. They must let her attend Kevin’s memorial.

Arlit, I hope you hear how many patriots stand with you.
