Being undocumented is not grounds for murder.
Being a minority is not grounds for murder.
Fleeing a scene is not grounds for murder.
Committing a crime is not grounds for murder.
There’s a judicial system & due process for everyone.
When ICE kill people, it’s an extrajudicial execution.

millions of fireworks will go off in the next 48 hours.
the protest at the center of the Prairieland case last July 4th — a year ago tomorrow — was a noise demo setting off fireworks for the detainees inside the ICE facility.
did you know the federal government categorized fireworks as explosives?

One year ago today, Minnesota Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were senselessly murdered in an act of political violence.
In their memory, we recommit ourselves to the values that Melissa and Mark exemplified: building a kinder, more just, and loving world.

Weird that you don't hear the "it will grow the deficit" or "we can't afford it" arguments around the Iran war, because I've been hearing those arguments about every *good* thing the US has tried to do for decades now.
It's funny when money matters and when it doesn't.

if voting is choosing the conditions under which you organize, then there couldn’t be better conditions for pressure than NYC’s rn. that’s *why* you elect a mamdani & not a greg abbott or brad little.
it’s so you can say, “we deserve better than this” to someone who will allegedly listen & act.

I’m sick of this shit. The mayor made promises about protecting trans healthcare. He’s not following through so we’re holding him accountable
That doesn’t mean we all wish we voted for Cuomo! This isn’t a fucking cult! The whole point of being progressive is we can push our electeds to do better!

You're well within your rights to decide that you don't want to support trans people, but that is the choice you're making and the thing we see.

An immigration judge has ordered the removal of Liam Consejo Ramos, a Minnesota toddler who was detained by ICE.
The politics of citizenship might seem like the detail that distinguishes Liam’s story from the stories of our kids. But his innocence, like the innocence of all kids, is unimpeachable.

Homelessness is a policy choice.
Suffering is a policy choice.
Everyone deserves a safe place to lay their head, food on their table and healthcare.
When basic needs are met health and happiness improve.
We could easily provide for everyone… those in power don’t want to.

Something I've been trying to impart on people is that the ICE occupation in Minnesota is both an ethnic cleansing and an ideological terror campaign. It's clear that the second part has utterly failed; the community is not terrified. But ICE is now desperately trying to salvage the first part.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

The bartender at our local brewery said her monthly premium is going from $450 to $1250. Per month. This is more than the increase those of us with employer insurance see when we grumble about premium increases and I need such folks to understand. It is literally unaffordable.
People are going to die because of the pending insurance premium hikes. I know the terrain of discourse is inconsistent and goes through a tumble cycle every 24 hours, but I really think we need to hone in on this reality and drive it home for people.

This is an absolutely insane administrative process. Within the space of a week, states were told by judges/White House
*no SNAP benefits

*pause provision of benefits.
Result is chaos, uncertainty, and uneven access to benefits depending on where people live.
