Always enough money for another war in the Middle East but never enough money to help people here at home.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Here’s the situation in the Twin Cities:

Random Bovino-style tear-gassing: Way down

Relentless persecution of immigrants: Unchanged

Thuggish violence against observers: Way up

I hope Dems begin to see that moderate or progressive, AIPAC is not our friend.

They endorse January 6th insurrectionists. Yet if you so much as suggest the US uphold its own Leahy laws, no matter your record, they will work against you.

SHAKESPEARE IS ALWAYS RELEVANT ABD NECESSARY.

Don’t know how many more examples it’s going to take for people to realize that billionaires are an existential threat to democracy and its institutions.

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.

ICE isn’t just targeting the Twin Cities. There’s horror stories in Mankato, Willmar and across Minnesota. Immigration attorneys are still getting hundreds of calls every day from every corner of the state.

ICE out now.

This Friday at 5pm Central, we're streaming an ICE Out charity stream from the MinnMax Studio with @giantbomb.bsky.social to raise money for VEAP - a nonprofit who is stepping up with meal delivery and rent assistance to immigrants in Minneapolis.

You can donate right now! bit.ly/iceoutminneapolis

Gindcore is Very Terrifying.

Again the world is waking up to horrific news of a killing at the hands of Donald Trump’s untrained federal agents.

Enough was enough before a federal agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good. 50,000+ Minnesotans marched yesterday to demand this violence ends immediately.

ICE just gunned down ANOTHER person, beating a man half to death before shooting him at point blank range. What the fuck are we doing?

ARREST ICE NOW. PROSECUTE ICE NOW.

I will not rest until every single one of these murderers is held accountable to the communities they terrorize.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Minneapolis is MinnMax's home and it's being torn apart by ICE agents with no regard for our rights. ICE is harassing/abducting people of color on a daily basis.

Please donate to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota to help provide free legal representation to those in need. bit.ly/minnmaxgives

This is actually a huge and underreported aspect of this situation. WE ALL HAVE SHIT TO DO. Got to work in the morning. Got to get our kids to school, if in fact the schools are open. Life was hard ALREADY and NOW we have to live with THIS taking all our valuable time, energy, and brain space.

interesting! here's a video i took yesterday of federal agents ramming community members with their car

a few thoughts youtu.be/lERS4kJIQR8

My statement on President Trump’s actions in Venezuela.

Jane Austen used 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, and so can you.

On Tuesday, masked ICE agents with guns drawn arrested Adan Nunez Gonzalez in Northfield. They failed to inform local law enforcement of their presence in the city and refused to identify themselves or provide an arrest warrant.  

This conduct is unacceptable for any federal agency.

We used to be a proper country youtu.be/uLHeMzjQ29E

na na, na na, na Katamari Morrissey na naaaa, na na na na na, na na, na Katamari Morrissey etc.

If ICE thinks it's okay to assault a pastor in broad daylight, imagine what they're doing in the dark.

No.

257. The Commission recommends that all Member States: (a) Employ all means reasonably available to them to prevent the commission of genocide in the Gaza Strip; (b) Cease the transfer of arms and other equipment or items, including jet fuel, to the State of Israel or third States where there is reason to suspect their use in military operations that have involved or could involve the commission of genocide; (c) Ensure individuals and corporations in their territories and within their jurisdiction are not involved in the commission of genocide, aiding and assisting the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide and investigate and prosecute those who may be implicated in these crimes under international law; (d) Facilitate the investigations and domestic proceedings and take action (including imposing sanctions) against the State of Israel and against individuals or corporations that are involved in or facilitating the commission of genocide or incitement to commit genocide; (e) Cooperate with the investigation of the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court. 258. The Commission recommends that the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court: (a) Examine, within its continuing investigation in the Situation in the State of Palestine, the crime of genocide for amendment to existing arrest warrants and addition to future application for arrest warrants; (b) Examine the involvement of officials mentioned in this report for inclusion as those most responsible for international crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

It is possible to hold both of these things true at the same time:

1) political violence is never an appropriate choice in a civilized society

2) Charlie Kirk’s dream is to create exactly the kind of society he currently lives in, as spoken from his own mouth

Had a spare hour today so I went to my local shop to do some digging. Came home to discover that I bought a double LP of spoken word poetry - in Portuguese.

I do not speak Portuguese.
