I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

If you have not yet read the tale of @musicologyduck.bsky.social getting kidnapped on a bus last night, it’s probably the greatest story I’ve read on social media since @nameshiv.bsky.social gave us The Rice Truck Saga. Masterpieces both.

Proud of my congresswoman
Oregon Congresswoman Maxine Dexter walkin' the talk. 💙
When our children and grandchildren ask what we did to protect our neighbors from the terror unleashed on our communities, I want to be able to say, "Every single thing we could."
That is why today we formally filed articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem.

Thank you CNN for pointing out that everyone opposed to this regime has normal, pro-social links to the organizations that make up a liveable society where you can do normal shit.
Next article you can talk about how the vice president, by contrast, is in nazi groupchats with minors

The woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week served on the board of her son’s school, which linked to documents encouraging parents to monitor ICE and directing them to training. https://cnn.it/49yoNEa

This is pretty amazing.
A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

I’ve been boycotting target for a year but here’s another good reason.
From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

Stand up for Minneapolis, everyone. It’s a wonderful place with wonderful people.
if you want to know what it is like in minneapolis, I don’t even have to scroll on facebook to find a horror story. it’s basically my whole feed.
everyone i know in minneapolis is seeing ICE take people—at gas stations, taquerias, bus stops, schools. just snatching random people.

Important thread.
Let’s talk about something. The fact that the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good was dragged by a moving vehicle in a prior incident is not a defense, it actually makes the situation much worse for him.

Bill Clinton just called on Trump to release the full Epstein Files, including all documents mentioning both Trump and Clinton.
“Refusal to do so will confirm the widespread suspicion the DOJ’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation.”

This is absolutely Stephen Miller. I agree 💯
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

It’s getting real for Home Depot. The flash mob is only the warm up, the nationwide boycott hits on November 27th.
Chant: “Tax the rich tax, the motherf*cking rich.”

This works a lot of the time. I don’t miss Amazon.
People may be unaware, but *a lot* of the sellers on Amazon have their own websites, with better prices and selection. They just aren’t allowed to mention or promote it on Amazon.
If you find something you want on Amazon, do a search for the seller and see if they have a non-Amazon site.

These yellow signs are making a splash in our small Oregon town (including my front yard). It’s by far not the only thing we’re doing to protect our neighbors, but it sends a message.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
