WE HAVE MOUNTAINS OF ICE TO MELT
And Minneapolis' Phillips neighborhood is named for Wendell Phillips, a fervent abolitionist. He was once asked why he couldn't turn down the heat in his rhetoric: why are do you always have to be so firery? Phillips' reply: "Yes, I'm on fire--becuase I have mountains of ice to melt!"

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

It's incredible how effective transphobia is as a litmus test for SO many issues. Every time I find a new pro-surveillance tech stooge, they're transphobic. I think people need to understand how tightly the belief that the internet is turning everyone trans is bound up w mass surveillance efforts
Jonathan Haidt Promoted a Fringe Theory on Trans Youth — Assigned
The author of “The Anxiety Generation” told Margaret Hoover for PBS that young people become trans due to peer contagion effects. There is no evidence for this claim.

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul

Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home.

So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

All the pundits who were outraged at kids missing school in the early days of the COVID pandemic are welcome to speak up ANY TIME NOW
I talked to the principal at my kids' middle school yesterday, and he said about 30% of kids have not been showing up. Hard to fathom the academic and mental health impact this is having on kids, parents and teachers.

Congratulations to the judges of the 8th circuit. ICE got your message loud and clear.
This video filmed by Ben Luhmann shows the moment a federal agent sprayed chemical irritants directly into a man's face in south Minneapolis.

Three agents already had the man pinned to the ground when a fourth agent walked up and sprayed the irritants.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

These barbarians are destroying everything that makes society work. Kids can't go to school, patients can't go to the hospital. We are, in effect, paying them to wreck the basic infrastructure of the country

i know there’s not much more i can do. Steam support isn’t answering my followup, but…
please help report the review ridiculing my SA. even if Steam said they won’t remove it, it might get taken seriously if enough people report it.
thank you anyone that shared this and reported 🙏
the Steam team responded to my support request and said they will not remove the review calling me a liar and ridiculing my sexual assault because of censorship concerns.

if Steam refuses to enforce their community guidelines and allows harassment, what can i do?

FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now?

Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests

FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests?

Trent: No, I think they are talking about the regime that is shooting people in the face

The citation chain usually works like this:
-supposition stated as fact

-supposition with reference to reputable book from c.1930s

-reputable book from c.1930s with reference to Sir Edward Chortlemuffin, 1782

- Sir Edward Chortlemuffin, "here's an idea I'll fart out," 1782

So one of the things pll should be taught in grad school is that if you see the same supposition or phrase repeated in every publication on a topic, see if you can track it back to an antiquarian. Bc, more often than not, those guys were full of shit. Don't get caught out by the Chortlemuffin Effect
