Every Thursday, out in Appleton. If you’ve got free time and can make the trip…. Say No to The Minnesota Concentration Camp Solidarity with those out in western Mn that have been organizing against this.

Every Thursday 5-6:30 Flags of Honor site in Appleton.

Polymarket should be either a Feeld competitor or a store where you can buy things for your polycule, not a place where you can bet on who wins prom king

🧵🧵🧵 A scandal that hardly anyone knows happened is Trump giving traitor Michael Flynn $1.25 million in your tax money. Flynn, Trump’s 1st national security adviser, pleaded guilty twice to lying to the FBI but was pardoned by Trump. He sued, alleging "weaponization," and DOJ paid him in March. 1/4🧵

Justice Dept. Settles Flynn’s Wrongful Prosecution Suit for $1.25 Million (Gift Article)

The agreement was an extraordinary example of how the Trump administration has offered legal relief to those aligned with the president.

At least a few people who listen to this report are going to look into becoming couriers themselves — bringing mifepristone and misoprostol to the U.S. for distribution to states where abortion has been criminalized. Highly recommend (and there’s a transcript, for the podcast-averse):

Abortion rates were expected to tank after Roe v. Wade was overturned. Instead, medication abortion became easier to get – and it changed everything. 🎧 The new abortion battleground; this week on Reveal

Another person has died at Delaney Hall, the second in a period of months, supposedly of an unspecified "medical emergency." His name is Edwin Lopez-Cornejo. He was just 41 years old. When we fight against ICE, we are fighting to save lives. This is urgent. crimethinc.com/DelaneyStrat...

All hands on deck! If DHS/ICE thinks Minnesotans aren't going to fight the Appleton concentration camp they haven't been paying attention. Read our latest Substack: substack.com/home/post/p-... And send a message to all our reps to join the fight: secure.ngpvan.com/DtScc_sVu0K1...

Hanging out on porches with a morning coffee or evening nightcap, going for walks where you seem engaged and alert, being seen visiting with/talking to neighbors all makes it look like a less inviting space to attempt something. A block where you never see anyone is the real inciting problem.

I’ve started thinking about this akin to improving transit conditions, i.e. that the only real fix for “anti-social” behavior is an influx of “social” behavior. Cameras and cops don’t really inhibit this kind of petty stuff, and they won’t rewind it. What will help is making the street seem busy.

you gotta build an offramp for these people!!!! as a lifelong member of liberal bubbles, i know these people, and they are cooking their brains on conspiracies because no one else cares about their chronic pain or is doing anything about corporate consolidation of healthcare and food!

Not an AOC fangirl by any means but I see people criticizing her for this and I gotta say if you don't see the (legitimate) concerns behind the (illegitimate) MAHA "movement" as, at the very least, a political opportunity, you are being willfully obtuse or blinded by privilege or maybe both

I'm currently looking to raise money for #ICEout observers in rural Minnesota, some of whom are easily driving 100mi or more every day while working to exercise their constitutional rights in places where local police openly collaborate with ICE to hinder them. venmo: @quecksilber #FuckICE

ICE has killed another person.

El Salvadoran Man Held by ICE at Delaney Hall Dies, Family Says

The detainee had an extensive medical history, including epilepsy, according to a lawsuit. He had complained about his face and hand going numb just before his death, his mother said.

Every person who has ever died of AIDS died of an "underlying health issue"

What the Times and so many people choose to be in denial about is that when you die it will also be because of an “underlying health issue.”

no amnesty

On Jan. 11, Gregory Bovino watched as his Border Patrol agents dragged a man out of his car at a St. Paul Speedway, knelt on his back until he lost consciousness, and dragged his limp body into the back of a van. The man's name is Orbin Mauricio Henriquez Serrano and this is his story.

33 people were loaded onto today's ICE Air flight at MSP. Minnesota friends: please join me, along with faith, labor, and community leaders, to mourn those who have been killed by ICE, and demand accountability from Delta Air Lines, tomorrow at noon, at the airport: bit.ly/july25mn

anti-trump republicans are junior partners in the coalition and somehow the only person who takes that seriously for himself is bill kristol

We fought to keep our immigrant neighbors here—now we need to keep them in their homes. No family should now be punished for hiding from ICE by facing eviction. If you or someone you know needs rental assistance please apply at the link. It does not require an eviction filing for eligibility.

so far we have only found two people with american airlines miles, and even together they are not even close to enough miles to get this family home to Venezuela can we raise $2700? so far we have $20.

ashley fairbanks@ziibiing.com · 2w ago

our flight angels team is working with a family profiled here to help mom and 2 kiddos reunite with dad, who was deported to venezuela. the problem is, because of the situation in VZ, only American is flying there. IF YOU HAVE AMERICAN miles and can help, PLEASE fill out the form below.

Here’s an outrageous story about how Jacob Frey’s administration treats an immigrant they claim not to discriminate against, effectively doing the administration’s bidding & then dummying up for the media. www.startribune.com/immigration-...

Immigration services misspelled his name. Then Minneapolis fired him.

The termination of Public Works employee Darley Herrera has driven a wedge between city hall and the Laborers Union.

It's amazing how the convo about public safety, the police never have to produce any evidence of efficacy, on any particular level, and folks who irrationally scream for more police, despite police lack of proving, those voices get elevated when we need a rational convo the most.

From HOME Line, a tale of two cities and their response to the ICE occupation. The mayor of Minneapolis refused to allow a temporary 60-day notice requirement and Council centrists refused to get on board with overriding the veto. Meanwhile, St. Paul's City Council passed their law unanimously.

thank you all so much for your help!! my neighbor was released from detention. he's waiting to find out if he'll be able to stay permanently but they're letting him wait at home.

It’s Ruby @ruby613.bsky.social · last mo.

I took my neighbors to the Whipple Building for their immigration check in today and one of them didn't come home with me. Can you help me raise $3000 for a lawyer to get my neighbor out of ICE detention? He has a wife and daughter here. dm for my venmo/paypal

"MnDOT has spent millions on fencing alone," said angela conley on the wedge live episode some fence company is getting rich off of our elected officials' inability to find any real solutions to the homelessness crisis

Can't get numb to this: The United States is stuck in a war it started, cannot end, and may further escalate to no avail, having dismantled its diplomatic apparatus, depleted its military stockpile, and destroyed its credibility. A historic strategic mistake harming millions in many different ways.

I literally cannot remember the last time a waiter fucked up my order. Meanwhile every day I receive work emails that would make God abandon creation

This is a great read, and it's also a lesson. This is what everyone could be doing, at every level. This is the possibility open to every one of us, while every single cry of "we had no choice" was and is a cowardly lie.
