It’s day 8 in Occupied California, where there are more troops than the US has in Iraq and Syria combined to oversee protests where the biggest threat is how good the food is.

Part 17 in my weekly poster series of 2025 #art #punk

While the number is likely not 500,000 (as many people who came in on CHNV likely transitioned to another status), the Trump admin will be formally "de-documenting" hundreds of thousands of people this week. The total number of people de-documented since Trump took office is over half a million.

The people’s closet at 38th and Chicago could use more hangers and a little TLC hanging up donations. Remember the no dignity rule and either volunteer to wash them or throw out what will not serve our community with dignity.

Per Georgia Fort, Isabel Lopez has been released from Sherburne County jail!

This is part of a pattern within PSL, which is basically a bunch of red flags in a trenchcoat: linktr.ee/PSLflags

In this political moment, our city needs a leader that is ready to fight back against Trump's policy of hate and protect our most vulnerable. Read my op-ed in Southside Pride on how Mayor Frey’s “State of the City” address missed the mark. southsidepride.com/2025/06/03/w...

JFC. The Minnesota Board of Judicial Standards issued an opinion yesterday that a judge merely staffing a Twin Cities Pride outreach booth “could undermine the public’s perception of the independence and impartiality of the judges who … participate at the festival” (1/x)

How the official Democratic Party responds to: - Taking money from Trump supporting AIPAC and Crypto affiliated billionaires: ❤️❤️❤️ - Supporting primaries against incumbent Democrats: GET THE FUCK OUT

Zero hyperbole here And now, breaking news from r/SubredditDrama that reveals what looks very much like a concerted "protesters against ICE & cops kidnapping, beating, shooting, gassing & trampling their neighbors are the REAL violent ones" disinfo opp by Palantir www.reddit.com/r/SubredditD...

🧵 This is an essential thread; enforcement actions as media spectacle is nothing new, but there are some serious questions to be asked about why this individual was there and what operational details were shared. Was the intended spectacle the investigations or provoking community to respond?

not the anarchists!! 😱

Imagine spending your whole life cos-playing and fantasizing about fighting the federal government sending troops in against its own citizens only to root for the government when the moment finally arrives

Twin Cities folks, Angie Craig and Frey are best buds. Donate to @omarfatehmn.com to ensure that we don't re-elect a collaborator as Mayor of Minneapolis.

DC folks: be wary of the “ICE out of DC” protest PSL is organizing in the city tonight. It is not supported by local immigrant justice groups. Many local immigrants and immigrant justice groups have asked them to change the location because it puts the Latino community at risk. They said no.

Fuck Angie Craig. Abolish ICE.

ICYMI: “worst queer in MN” Angie Craig voted for a resolution that said the following (2) affirms that free and open communication between State and local law enforcement and their Federal counterparts remains the bedrock of public safety and is necessary in preventing terrorist attacks; and

The name of the cyclist killed in the light rail accident last night at 42nd & Hiawatha has not yet been released. Please check in on our neighbors & I hope we can support their loved ones when we know who they were.

“cops aren’t trained to-“ “oh but police need resources” “if only law enforcement had-“ NAH. We did training and courses and body cams and consent decrees. For decades. And here we are. Policing is an institution devoid of worth and plagued through with rot.

"rubber bullet" is such a spectacularly evil piece of marketing. makes it sound like the thing is just gonna go squish and bounce like a tennis ball but instead they look like fucking ballistic missiles.

We’re at the literal-actual Armed Forces being deployed into cities stage of fascism. The regular Armed Forces weren’t even used in the ‘92 riots, and this isn’t even close to that.

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

organizers from the Gaza Freedom Flotilla has announced those aboard the Madleen have been abducted by the Israeli army, and the aid resources aboard taken

If you have an unread copy of Let This Radicalize You lying around, this would be an excellent time to read Chapter 6: “Violence” in Social Movements. It's also a good time to share that chapter with others.

Don't wear goggles to a protest unless they're rated shatter resistant. You're better off with NO eye protection than eyewear that will send shards of plastic into your eye. If you can't find shatterproof goggles, get lacrosse goggles. Cheap and effective eye protection from larger munitions.

“at locations where protests against these functions are occurring or are likely to occur…”

The "locations where protests against these functions are occurring or are likely to occur based on current threat assessments and planned operations" is jumping out at me.

Tomorrow they’re better be massive protests nationwide or we will not be doing this right.

Feels like we are dangerously close to US military firing on US citizens
