Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."
Ultimate song for the dead homies
"here i am again at Ben’s myspace grave / then out of nowhere / the smell of his basement / where we watched Faces of Death / and we regretted it"
i’ve seen some great shows in my time, but the fact that i will never see Cymbals Eat Guitars play live is honestly unconscionable youtu.be/On_vHOFjIsw?...

which was cheapest we could find — he really won’t have much left to live on. You’re def right about social worker, we spoke to one at the hospital who is helping us get ball rolling on a few things and hopefully can help us get him a more permanent case manager. Thank you for the help!
Thank you! I’m going to call the agency on aging and the long term care ombudsman office today. I think it’s possible his SSI brings him like $5 above the threshold for Mainecare, but between his Medicare payment, prescription costs, and now paying for a $1300 in subsidized apt —
If anyone I know happens to be skilled in navigating Maine’s public benefit programs, esp for seniors, please LMK!
My grandpa, who is currently homeless in the state of Maine and hospitalized with heart failure in Portland, has been denied #MaineCare and awarded like $20 in SNAP.
We found him an apartment after which he’ll have maybe $100-200 to live off of per month.
What an incredible country to age in.
Today, ICE engaged in a dangerous, high-speed chase in Saint Paul. Their recklessness and disdain for the safety of our residents led directly to a multi-car collision, even if ICE vehicles weren't the ones to hit other cars.

my expectation of democratic senators is that they find 1/10th of the bravery of your average 70 year old lutheran lady following ICE around mpls in her subaru crosstrek
MAGA fuckface in cozy red sweater, holding dog also wearing sweater, against a background of vivid red foliage.
Endlessly useful Zack Fox tweet from 2018: this how photos be lookin in headlines when a white man kills his entire family. (it's a guy on a jetski with wife and daughter.)
Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.
Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."
ICE killed another Minnesotan.
there is video and it is very bad.

Sign on door prohibiting immigration enforcement on private property
Shelf filled with goggles and whistles
This is Minneapolis:
Walk into my neighborhood ACE last night & see the signage on their door notifying fed agents that it’s private property and cannot be used for immigration enforcement. These signs are all over the city.
Walk in & the nearest shelf has goggles & whistles.
“We are here to make sure that we can protect our freedoms and get ICE out of Minnesota.”
That’s right.

Unclear to me if this fucking five year old kid getting kidnapped is breaking through outside of the Twin Cities and I don’t want to speak for anyone else but this has really steeled my resolve. This shit cannot be allowed to stand.
I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.
THEY USED A FIVE YEAR OLD AS BAIT
The family’s 6-month-old baby foamed at the mouth and was unconscious after federal agents threw tear gas and flash-bangs under their SUV, according to the child’s parents.
DHS notice of inspection
DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee.
In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.
🚨 On Friday, January 23, MN stands together.
🛑 No Work. No School. No Shopping.
📍 March in Downtown Mpls at 2PM
We demand:
➡️ #ICEOutOfMN now
➡️ The officer who killed #ReneeGood must be held legally accountable
➡️ No additional federal funding for ICE in the upcoming budget
