White folks who weren’t reflecting on state violence before b/c it wasn’t them are deciding if it's acceptable to kill their own if it means being rid of ppl they’d rather not be neighbors with

What will they then agree to next in exchange for a return to their comfort & safety?

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio.

Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3.

Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

Minnesotans don’t want ICE to abduct our neighbors a little differently.

We want all of it to stop. And we’ll keep doing everything we can to make that happen. If you’re outside of the state, you should too.

llhan Omar has not been respected or supported by the Democrat party very goddamn much, and she takes an awful lot of shit from almost everyone, and she still doesn't back down. This is the kind of person who should be at the forefront of the party leading it. She's an inspiration.

Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.

ICE are alllll over Harlem right now, 116 & Frederick Douglass, checking IDs and targeting the area’s African community. Multiple people have been detained.

Community members are advising folks to carry citizenship documents - or stay away if they are at risk

Border czar Tom Homan: We'll continue to conceal the identities of the ICE mercenaries murdering soccer moms and nurses in the streets—but we'll doxx anyone who tries to stop the kidnapping and murder.

Tim Walz: "I'm going to give Homan the benefit of the doubt."

Trust no politician. Abolish ICE.🏴

This is unconscionable. Evil.

But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president.

So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.
Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government custody.

She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.

We need to reform immigration detention.

Hi I'm on bluesky now! Last year was a hell of a year as my 2-year-old was diagnosed with cancer (!?!?!?) and spent much of it in the hospital. Thankfully it's in remission now. What a ride. Hoping to slowly get back into gamedev stuff this year!

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities.

Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced the Democrats have to push their hand immediately. The parallels with the delays and subsequent failures after January 6th are blaring warning signs about what will happen if they don’t go after the issues with ICE and CBP at the root RIGHT NOW.

Also seems like a good time to remind folks...we could use your old cars! A lot of the ones we use on site for rescued animal care are on their last wheels. Your old car could make a huge difference here! Please share if you can!

🚨 This should alarm everyone.

The #UK has lost measles elimination status — not because vaccines failed, but because vaccination rates fell.

The US is on track to lose it too.

#Measles is highly contagious, dangerous, and vaccine-preventable.

One little thing you can do if you’re feeling helpless tonight: throw a few bucks to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. They’re reportedly stretched thin for obvious reasons and could use some help if you can offer it.

I honestly thought moving back to Minneapolis would be a good idea. But now that I'm face to face with the stark reality of what this city is really like, I realize that moving back here wasn't a good idea, it was a great fucking idea.
