Predicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

People are still being profiled.
People are still being wrongfully detained.
People still can’t go to work or school out of fear.
 
Do not look away and do not buy any political spin coming out of DHS.
 
ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA.

There has been a lot of coverage about “productive conversations” and “thawing relations” and similar empty statements.

Meanwhile in Minnesota, federal agents are still terrorizing and abducting U.S. citizens.

In this case, 70 miles from Minneapolis. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Can confirm. Nothing has changed on the ground. ICE still attacking people, kidnapping, all that stuff—and the city is still out protecting and helping neighbors

Absolutely surreal to continue to hear about drawdowns and lowered temperatures and things calming down in Minneapolis when, as far as I can tell, literally nothing has changed on the ground

the hong kong protestors used the phrase "do not split" to mean that the radical protest and peaceful protest arms of the movement should refuse to criticize each other.
Yet if the movement is leaderless and anarchic, it isn't chaotic. It has guiding principles that allow participants to self- regulate even as the movement constantly reinvents itself. Among those principles is ("do not split"). Protesters use the expression to say that no one in the movement should condemn or obstruct the actions of fellow protesters they disagree with. People who oppose a given action should sit it out, but not try to prevent it. The use of force, in particular, is a divisive issue. Some insist on the necessity of keeping the protests peaceful, so that they will seem morally legitimate and may gain sympathy from the broader public. Others — especially younger protesters or protesters who consider that the lengthy sit-ins of the Umbrella Movement failed — believe that some measure of force has become necessary; otherwise, the government will simply ignore them. The “do not split” idea acts as a bridge between these two factions by promoting mutual respect for diverging views within the protest movement.

The correct response to state violence is more protest, more people. Make it clear that a free people cannot and will not be oppressed.

Every time I read The Great Gatsby, the final paragraph brings me to tears. Breathtakingly powerful writing:
"I'm alive!" said Gatsby, roaring past on a speedboat. He'd faked his own death and gotten away with everything. That's why they called him the Great Gatsby. "Out of the way, current!" he yelled at the water. "This speedboat is bearing me ceaselessly into the future!"

The Geordi LaForge meme. Top level, a picture of Geordi, holding his hand up toward the camera in a "Wait, hold up" position with his head tilted to his left shoulder. The text reads, "Do not comply in advance." Three bullet points, symbolized with red "x"s, are below and read "bossy," "already a cliche," and "implies permission to comply later." Lower level, a picture of Geordi, he's turned his head to the left and his hand is now pointing its index finger to the camera in a "That's right" gesture, his eyes, although invisible behind his visor, glow red. The text heading says, "Fuck you. Make me." Below are bullet points, now symbolized with green check marks, that read "leads by example," "directs yelling at opposition instead of allies," and "easy to chant at a protest or put on a banner."
