The way that I’m embracing winter as a friend now.
She’s hard and cold but she’s just.
As always, I’m praising Prince for being ahead of his time. Winter really does keep the bad people out. She’s a friend and I love her. Bring on the cold.

Trump has a ten-month plan to ensure further elections are impossible.
It's *not even halfway through January* and his paramilitary is occupying a city and killing protesters as he prepares to invoke the Insurrection Act and floats canceling elections.
Wake up: fascism is here.

Absolutely wild stuff. DOJ making broad claims that we have no right to watch and document law enforcement abuses, and also completely unwilling to provide any evidence to support those claims.
“… DOJ attorneys … not submitting police reports, body camera footage or statements from ICE agents involved in the incidents …. DOJ only submitted a declaration from David Easterwood, ICE’s acting director in St. Paul, but Menendez said she didn’t know how many layers of hearsay it involved”
DOJ Argues Protesters Don’t Have Constitutional Right to Observe Immigration Agents
The hearing on alleged retaliation by law enforcement against protesters comes about a week after an ICE agent shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis.

Thinking about how people were out patrolling and showing up when there was 🧊 activity and one of the people who showed up to observe was shot in the face and killed and now a hell of a lot more people are out patrolling and showing up wherever 🧊 goes.

It is day 37 of the ICE occupation of MSP.
A neighbor was murdered by ICE today.
We have no words for the level of heartbreak.
We’ll be out in the streets again tomorrow, all too aware of the risks.
(Also, we’re going to need more whistles.)

There is a grave moral consequence to letting this go on. Shut down the government, have a general strike, grind the country to a halt, hit the streets. But not treating a demented administration lying about its thugs committing cold-blooded murder as an emergency? That is an emergency in itself.

I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today.
