for those who are too young to remember, you're going to hear this bullshit from politicians and the media. it may make you question your gut instincts.
your gut is right.
The 53 cars at the Hagerstown Maryland warehouse this morning, appearing a few hours after we left, are NOT the 100 on their way from Minneapolis.
Detention center is more MASSIVE than you can imagine. All this “moving in” while there’s a law suit from MD & other actions to keep from opening.
This is a spectacular call back
Is this at the State of the Union Address?
Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.
Understood instantly what it meant.
genuinely so funny and depressing that everything from the right is fake and bots. stuff like this reinforces that the rights strategy hinges upon paid lying and misinformation networks
Today it was snowballs. Tomorrow, someone could paint a black circle on the side of a mountain, causing our officers to drive the train into the mountain, turning the train into an accordian that plays a sad little tune indicating that the officer has been seriously injured
Wow
It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.
They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
Just 24 hours left to help get my kid's band, MilkMaiden, on a big festival stage. They were selected as a finalist to play the Truck Festival in the UK (headliners include CMAT and the Libertines). Vote for her so they can rock out. Click here! Support indy music! truckfestival.com/explore/band...
some of the olympic women including maddie mastro have been reposting this if you’re curious about the vibe in response to the US men’s little display
Great news! Saturday night's sold-out Brandi Carlile concert at Target Center will stream live on 89.3 The Current. You can also purchase a live video stream good for 48 hours, with proceeds benefiting a local legal aid nonprofit.

1. DHS surges 3,000 officers to Minneapolis without doing anywhere near enough prep first.
2. Hundreds of habeas cases overwhelm local courts.
3. Dozens of DOJ lawyers quit in disgust/anger.
4. The DOJ brings in JAGs to cover.
5. A JAG was just held in contempt and fined $500/day for ICE's failures.

Contra right-wing narratives, the alternatives are not "globalism" and "anti-globalism," but a globalism of expanding democracy vs. a globalism of resurgent authoritarianism
I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.
I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.
I’ll call it “lessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Do you want a hell mouth? Because it seems like this is how you get a hell mouth.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”
There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
