I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Following the violent assault of a disabled woman by ICE last week, and the many reports of abuses of people with disabilities in their concentration camps, it’s worth rereading this primer on Disability Criminalisation from the Center for Racial and Disability Justice

This entire thread is important. Exactly the movement analysis and reporting that our media will never do. Watch ICE, denounce fascism all you like - we’ll never build power if we don’t learn how. The Minnesotans aren’t simply “nice.” They are deeply organized.

I know it's hard to track all the threats to democracy out there right now, but this is at the top of the list.

STATEMENT REGARDING DETENTION OF STANDING ROCK SIOUX TRIBE MEMBER IN MINNESOTA JANUARY 24, 2026 I was notified today, January 24, 2026, that a Standing Rock Sioux Tribe member has been detained by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the state of Minnesota. Tribal leadership is actively working to locate the individual, gather accurate information, and coordinate with the appropriate authorities to secure their release. At this time, details surrounding the detention remain limited. I urge the public to refrain from spreading unverified information while this matter is being reviewed. Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will continue to advocate for the protection of our citizen's rights and will provide updates as appropriate.

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month.

Statement from Standing Rock:

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Federal officers have shot another person in Minnesota amid immigration crackdown, governor says | CBC

"According to reporting by The Associated Press, bystanders at the scene started screaming at federal officers, calling them "cowards." In response, an unnamed officer allegedly walked away from the crowd, mockingly yelling, "boo hoo," the AP reported."

All those people downtown yesterday, no ICE involvement, and not one incident. ICE shows up in a neighborhood and now another Minnesotan is dead. It's pretty obvious who the violent outside agitators are.

“There’s no point to calling because my senators already agree with me”

“There’s no point to calling because my senators won’t listen”

These are both false information and you should correct and/or block anyone circulating them. Your calls are tallied and create support and/or real pressure.

Call even if you think they are not going to listen to you

Mine never do but I know the staff struggle emotionally with what I say to them and I plan to wear them down

Call. Your. Senators. Right. Fucking. Now. It’s ok if your voice shakes while you leave the voice mail. If you cry. If you cuss. If you’re inarticulate. Just get the message across.
