Update:

Katie just called me. She is being held by Homeland Security at the Whipple Federal Building down by the airport.

They have not told her anything. No word on release, no word on charges. Nothing. Ridiculous. But she is fine and in good spirits.

Her attorney is en route there right now.

Approaching 3 hours since Katie was cuffed and taken by masked federal agents while peacefully protesting and filming today and our lawyers still can’t get anyone to tell us where they actually took her.

Fucking absurd.

Federal agents wearing tactical gear used chemical irritants on protesters at the Bro-Tex facility in St. Paul.

Councilmember Aurin has been and will continue to be an excellent representative for our neighborhood/ward. I’ve always gotten a prompt response from her office and she shows up for the hard topics and also for the joy of being a community that cares for each other other
I’m so tired of this racist and xenophobic dog whistle. Never something that follows white candidates who move days before an election to a district. I Grew up here. I’ve organized here. I live here. And I’m not going anywhere. 10,000+ of my neighbors agreed they want me to rep them. Scoreboard.

Update as of 10:55 AM:

Federal agents have left the Territorial/Hampden location. Mayor Carter and I are on site.

We have heard reports of several individuals that have been taken by the federal government. At least one person was arrested.

UR has released the footage of 73 Minneapolis Police videos from the mass arrest of 646+ the night after the 2020 elections. The videos show officer interactions & tactic discussions while illustrating MPD’s antagonistic relationship with the community.

Looking for picture book recommendations! What’s new and good?

I have two nibblings, a 14 month old and an 8 month old, and am doing some winter shopping. Have some classics that my kids enjoyed when they were little, but I know there’s gotta be some great new stuff that’s come out.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Such a reveling quote from Sarah McBride's Advocate interview: “If I let them make me the issue, then the actual issues — health care, housing, jobs — get lost.”

I wonder: How is transgender rights NOT an "actual issue"????

Really hoping that at the end of the night Omar Fateh is my mayor and Aurin Chowdhury gets re-elected as my councilor
omar fateh had lunch at slice pizza at midtown global market on election day with jason chavez, aurin chowdhury and anquam mahamoud. he walked around and talked to shop owners and visitors to the market, helping one woman find her polling place on her phone

irony because the threat wasn't some foreign invaders but homegrown fascist violence

in the book, Saruman destroys the shire by convincing many of the hobbits that industrial capital is better than their quiet ways of living. Goods are tarriffed and expensive and freedom of speech is restricted.
DHS just posted a Lord of the Rings meme as an appeal to join ICE

Tell us ALL the voting results. Why is this league so fricking reluctant to ever tell us anything? You're already not telling us who made each choice; at least tell us who nearly made the All-WNBA 2nd team. Players aren't the only ones who've been begging for transparency for years on end. #WNBA

Also, the way to not "die on that hill" is to be united. These folks who want to jettison trans folks, immigrants, Black folks, etc. are so short sighted they think it'd be a victory to die a couple steps later, when choosing solidarity is actually choosing to not die at all
If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.
I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.
