peggy flanagan’s campaign manager on twitter reporting that angie craig is down 13 points in the minnesota senate primary with 75% of voters saying that her vote for the laken riley act is disqualifying, which would certainly explain her suddenly apologizing for it just days after standing by it

I’m the most Minnesotan person in Appalachia and that’s the only superlative I care about earning. It is far more important than my dissertation.

As a Minnesotan in rural Ohio I feel actually insane right now. Everything is completely business as usual in my physical life and telling sympathetic friends and coworkers what’s happening at home is like a fever dream
One of the things I’m really struggling with about what’s going on in Minnesota is that if you describe what’s going on in plain, factual ways to someone who’s not paying close attention you sound completely, bugfuck crazy
Minnesota: "School officials say the [5-year-old] child was used as bait. They say [ICE] agents made little Liam knock on the door to ask to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home."

We have no functional national media in the way many people still think we do, so the more regular folks we can show this stuff to, the better. Make sure your friends, family, co-workers, REALLY see what’s going on. If you still have personal Facebook, blast it with these videos. Make it inescapable

The U.S. tried to acquire information about Danish military installations on Greenland last year, going outside traditional channels & raising fears of an invasion. The 1500 strong 11th Airborne in Alaska now being readied for deployment—supposedly in Minnesota—are nicknamed the “Arctic Angels.”

Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.

Incredible townie interactions are happening on my local Appalachian Ohio community pages in reaction to our city council deciding not to say the pledge of allegiance at the beginning of their meetings

ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

Downtown Minneapolis currently—
Jake Lang and a handful of other racists/RW propagandists are surrounded by about 50 cameras and some antifascists chanting him down. A banner the group arrived with has been broken.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

if i could give one broad direction to people: stop being afraid of doing something. take some initiative. find a group near you. pick up the boxes that need hauling. bring food. take out the trash.
see a need that is unmet? get some friends together and do the thing.

Last week I asked BOP officials if they had sent tactical teams to Minneapolis. They denied it (left).
Multiple agency sources told me otherwise, and photos from
reporters on the ground soon confirmed BOP folks were there.
Now BOP is finally admitting it (right):

The resistance I see in every video from Minnesota is inspiring. Regular people are standing up to heavily armed fucks who have no regard for human life; no moral compass; no true desire beyond harming other people.
