I’ve spent this entire term, and especially these last few days, feeling lost as a writer and analyst. I spent the last ten-plus years warning over and over again that all of this was likely to happen if we didn’t stop this man. I grounded it in international experience and history, cited theorists…
“that’s not who we are” says an anglo texan living on the land which would be the home of whole civilizations of Indigenous peoples had they not been genocided, dispossessed, and removed to create ‘America.’
for real tho. i raved in the bay 90s-00s and he was always there both to rock the party and support the scene. true OG legend and one of the DJs who opened my ears and moves to the spirit lifting joys of house music. rest in power DJ Dan, you lifted so many lives into joy and community 💔

Every picture of ICE agents in airports is just this again

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.
“If you wanted to create a tool that would enable the destruction of institutions that prop up democratic life, you could not do better than AI. Authoritarian leaders & tech oligarchs are deploying AI systems to hollow out public institutions with an astonishing alacrity.”
Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of “América”—among many other things—and some Anglo journalists are like “his performance wasn’t political.”
This is why we need to be telling our stories.
I think "woke" was at least partly identified with "irritating" and the way we're rectifying that in Woke 2 is by being scary instead
they did though. they have been here. harris county (houston metro) has the highest deportation rate in the country. but just the city proper is 600+ square miles and of course the public is not ready to hear that texans have been organizing and fighting this for months and months.
"Abolish the Police and then what?" while infantile and often asked in bad faith, is at least, on some levels, a real question
"Ablish ICE and then what?" Is not a real question. Clearly if ICE didn't exist tomorrow society would just objectively be more peaceful and would not in any way fall apart

this is up to 5,335,376. wow.
read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000
It’s driving me a little insane to see all this “protester” lingo.
Like yea there are protests..
But if masked, armed thugs invade your neighborhood and terrorize your community, standing against that is not “protesting”.
That’s an attempt to maintain safety. The government made itself the danger.
Body cams for government thugs are a joke obviously but here's my compromise idea: shock collars for government thugs

nobody knows what a full grown greg bovino looks like.... only the larval stage has ever been photographed
oh commuters just found the motherlode of ice agents at a suburban hotel, including, potentially, bovino himself. a bunch of confirmed ICE and CBP cars from the bovino convoy there. spring hill suites in maple grove.
people of the twin cities, do with this info what you will.

My group chats are full of Minnesotans reacting to today’s murder by figuring out ways they can help.
We need people outside of the state to do the same thing. Whatever you wish everyone else was doing right now? Do it today.
Let’s make a list of things that could help.
appreciate this take on what should be a relentless questioning; why stop at abolishing DHS? a crack is forming. widening it actually seems within reach as the media seem slightly less willing to spin the indefensible lately.

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE.
They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon.
They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times.
He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”.
A 🧵 of ICE abuse
Protester sprayed with chemical irritant while agents pinned him to the ground Protesters gathered on Blaisdell Avenue in south Minneapolis between 28th and 29th streets after federal agents detained two teenagers, according to witnesses. Protesters were shouting and tensions escalated before agents began detaining observers like the man seen below, who was pinned to the ground when a federal agent sprayed a chemical irritant directly into his face.
Is it @startribune.com policy to refer to anyone confronting ICE as a protester? This obscures the nature of what people are doing. We're not protesting ICE. We're constitutional observers documenting human rights abuses by agents of the state.
