what a waste. War is beyond evil. Also, a few weeks ago, we steal Venezuela's oil, then lockdown the strait of Hormuz. Greed. Inhumanity. Evil.

Resistance of late:
joined a union
donated to food shelves
supported local, impacted businesses
about 30 people were arrested at whipple this morning for unlawful assembly, and many first hand reports say hennepin county sheriff's office were escalating. people were arrested when they were retreating, and people were knocked down by law enforcement
waiting for the mortgage company to phone. "Sounds like someone's escrow needs to skyrocket."

today, I bought the expensive juice.
The for-real, baby-eating, island-hopping dow-jonesing for 50k violent criminals or the ones who rob a 7-11 for $65 bucks and a couple of bags of Fritos? which one is suppressing wages?
Are violent criminals the reason minimum wage hasn't increased since 2009?
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
Tornado watches!

Not great chick representation numbers-wise, and none of them are mains, but they're written in a way that makes it feel like they're important in their own circles.
A Minneapolis City Council committee delayed action Tuesday on renewing liquor licenses for two Minneapolis hotels that have housed federal immigration officers.
We do not want ICE period. We want everyone from Noem to noob agent Chucklefuck answering for the atrocities they've committed. We want universal healthcare, livable wages and everyone in the Epstein files prosecuted.
A cream rectangle with an orange border and the text MARCH THROUGH YOUR STASH over a background of simple line drawings of books
The same background with text that reads: -Read the physical books that you've already bought and hoarded in the month of March -Discuss your reading and track your progress with the hashtag #MarchStash -Follow @marchthruyourstash on Bluesky for prompts, encouragement and tracking graphics!
Introducing MARCH THROUGH YOUR STASH! This is a challenge for those of us (Libby addicts, bookstore loiterers) who keep buying books but never reading them. Read as many as possible in the month of March!
Federal agents at powderhorn park
This morning, federal agents staged at the Powderhorn Park Recreation Center lot and began to throw chemical irritants at observers. They also kidnapped an observer. Our parks are meant for our children, youth, and neighbors. They should never be militarized zones meant to separate families. 1/
Burn. Them. All.
ICE is camped out at a free clinic/food shelf on the Northside if you'd like to see how de-escalation and targeted enforcement is going.
AND we don’t just want them bringing this elsewhere.
It’s not “get out of Minneapolis”
it’s “get out of everywhere, get prosecuted for the crimes, and then we salt whatever ground made this happen don’t doesn’t happen again to anyone anywhere”
Won’t fit on a poster but that’s the demand.
Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.
His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
Anyway the work can’t stop. They’re making you think they’re backing down but they’re really just digging in.
People have had to sacrifice every aspect of their stability to hide from ICE. They lost jobs. They closed businesses. They used up every last bit of their savings—if they had any to begin with. And some people were taken anyway.
If ICE leaves tomorrow, there will still be communities in crisis.
Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen has been put in charge of Minnesota ICE.
CNN calling Tom Homan "well respected" and "not as hardline as Bovino" is an interesting choice. The dude took a $50,000 bribe in a fucking Cava bag and says all the same fascist shit as Bovino and Noem.
Exactly right.
Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.
Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.
Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.
Every possible angle.
Maine, right now:
