This era of a MAGA trifecta will be painful, but we can push back AND stay healthy as individuals & communities if we team up, gear up, and show up!

I have a personal Bluesky account that is focused on community-building and conversation on here. I love it!
Today I realized I needed an account to help us all connect, mobilize, and mitigate the impact of MAGA while they are “in control”.
Because they don’t control very much, actually!

More than 400 people, including hundreds of citizens, were “sorted” at gun point into racial and ethnic groups by 200 ICE agents who fired flash-bang grenades into cars with people inside, pointed guns at children & demanded their zip tied parents not comfort them. apple.news/Ausdx6kWtT0e...

Talk to your friends/family/etc about what your sources (Bluesky/friends/TikTok/Youtube/whatever) say is actually happening here as opposed to what FoxNews & CNN are saying is happening. Then show them.

I’m genuinely praying that this the start of something good being done.
The Minnesota Attorney General's Office is asking residents to share information about the actions of federal agents in Minnesota, including those from the Department of Homeland Security, that have affected them or someone close to them.

This form is for reporting incidents or effects related to or caused by federal actions in Minnesota, such as business closures, reduced healthcare access, or use of physical force.

It’s actually really liberating from the grip of paranoia to assume you’re being read or listened to and act accordingly. If you assume what you say is public, if you don’t want someone to see it or hear it, don’t say it or do it. But if you do say it, say it with your whole chest

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:

it shouldn’t be surprising, but it still is, when major news outlets, even as they report about MN suing the government for this ICE invasion refuse to mention:
-ICE going into homes without warrants
-Randomly stopping people based on skin color
-Detaining citizens
-Harassing schools and churches

And honestly, I think in general this attack on my city shows a total lack of understanding the basic character of Minnesotans, underestimating our tenacity, stubbornness, resilience, communality, and absolute willingness to volunteer for shit and show up. The revolution has a Sign-Up Genius.
I'm at a coffee shop at the moment with a bunch of writer buds, and we just observed a large convoy of ICE vehicles pursued by a much larger convoy of volunteer observers honking their horns with wild abandon. If there's one thing Minnesotans do, it's show up for shit.

If he wants to declare martial law, he will. It won't be based on reality. I don't know why some people continue to say: "be peaceful or he'll invoke martial law." Are you all living in this country in 2026???? Haven't you seen them make things up out of whole cloth???? Are you 10 years old?

This is well worth a watch, not just because you can see someone who was on the sidelines quickly become involved and engaged, but because it's another reminder that no one wants these fucking goons in their community.
Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

This bystander goes from hysterically calling the police because her door dasher burst into her house to escape ICE and asking the dasher to leave because she’s scared for herself and her baby, to screaming at ICE “Until you have a warrant signed get off my fucking property.”
