Note: Minnesota is full of great writers who need work. Stop putting your dudes on planes and start hiring local writers. I've now connected two folks. I can find you more.

American Indian Movement (AIM) patrol trucks have been spotted around NE and folks are flagging them as suspicious and giving them unwelcoming glances because they don’t know who they are. This is the AIM logo and flag, which you might see on their trucks. They are friends!

If America makes it through this, anyone who murmurs platitudes about "binding up the nation's wounds" must be drummed out of public life. They tried that after the first phase of the civil war, and it just led to where they are now. The cancer must be excised and destroyed. Nothing else will work.
Holy shit.
Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

Former USAF here who went through basic CBRN and got doused in the stuff.
When washing off afterwards, shower in cold water first. Warm water will not only open your pores to release any clinging tear gas but also reactivate the stuff. Having a second round in your shower is unpleasant.

Adding my 2¢…if you’re going to a protest (or just leaving the house in general at this point) keep a change of clothes/shoes & a towel to put over the seat in your car. This help you transfer less after the fact and save you from getting it on the car’s upholstery or, worse, in the air vents.

And if you're sharing URLs delete everything after the ? to reduce individual tracking or links back to your profile (like FB or insta)
(This should just be good practice in general)
(This should just be good practice in general)
Security folklore of the morning is that no one should share URLs on Signal because it exposes IP addresses and people should use QR codes instead. Please don’t do this! QR codes are much less secure. If you’re concerned about link security, turn off link previews which you can do in Signal settings

In general my rule is to not type anything into a phone or computer that I couldn't live with the feds reading. You can't encrypt your way out of user error, malicious or accidental.
Signal’s encryption is good. That encryption does not prevent people who aren’t friendly from listening to you when you don’t know who you’re talking to. Use common sense and don’t say anything to 1000 strangers you wouldn’t want read out loud by a right wing rag or in a court of law

If you are looking for a way to send support and love to Minneapolis
We are in fact DESPERATE for winter coats, waterproof gloves, and good boots. We get so many wonderful donations but it is so cold and the numbers of unhoused unsheltered people are going up at the absolute worst time for it, and we run out of coats weekly.
The frigid Twin Cities temperatures will hurt the homeless; so do not gloat about the impact on ICE without also stepping up here:

War staring you in the face
Dressed in black
With a helmet, fierce
Trained and appropriate for the malcontents

A little boy smiled, it'll all be well

You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen
*Everyone has stories like this*

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Went in to charge my phone and warm up for a bit, but y’all, it’s so beautiful. If you’re local, come out if you can. Seeing the community coming together and drinking the hot tea the Somali grandmas are making for everyone will legit do you good
