It was only thanks to the 30,000 trained observers in Minnesota that reality could not be so easily distorted: ICE was abusing our rights, kidnapping working people off the street and tearing families apart.But with observers present, the world could see what the Party told us not to see. And no amount of words could cover it up. https://minnesotareformer.com/2026/03/11/the-minnesota-resistance-exposed-the-orwellian-frauds-of-the-administration/
The best I've seen for responding to the crazy political times:
@pluralistic interviewed about the idea of "Nuremberg Caucus", boldly and explicitly publicly planning for the day when criminal actions will go to trial so that people understand that criminal behavior is being noted right now (so maybe don't do it)

"Ford was a vicious antisemite, a bigot, a union-buster and an all-round piece of shit, but also, he believed that his opinions trumped the axial tilt of the planet Earth."
ugh, this stupidity has always been with us, and has always been indulged.

23 year old Ruben Ray Martinezās last words? āIām sorry sirā.
ICE shot him 3 times and killed him.
Renee Goodās last words? āItās ok Iām not madā.
Alex Prettiās last words? āAre you ok?ā
These are the people DHS calls domestic terrorists. Threats. Aggressors.
Abolish ICE
Hanne Dugeman is a Type 1 diabetic who was denied proper medical care in ICE custody.
She lost 10lbs in 9 days.
She experienced severe infections and had to be placed in medical isolation.
She was denied her continuous glucose monitor.
She was given too much insulin & another detainee gave her crackers and saved her life.
She did nothing wrong.
She was married to a US citizen and grabbed at a regular check in
ICE nearly killed her.
Itās eugenics
No one is safe in their custody, least of all disabled people.

Now consider how the world would react if ANYBODY were to bomb America and murder Americans and American children, with the excuse that "Trump is evil and Republicans must be overthrown".
While we all agree with that, nobody would ever consider that would justify the bombing of a (white) nation.
So why is it so easy for some to completely suspend any rational sense of humanity to justify bombing Iran's capital, killing in just one example well over 100 out of only 170 people from just one single girls school out of countless other targets, with the exact same justification?
The answer is chillingly simple: Islamophobia. Hate and division which allows us to see other people as "not people".
If this had anything to do with expelling "evil leaders" then the same justification could be used to bomb the US. The same justification could be used ā¦

Prime Minister Carney's statement on this matter reeks of racism.

Today in Labor History March 2, 1974: Salvador Puig Antich was executed by garrote in Barcelona, Spain. He was a militant anarchist and Catalan independence fighter who fought against the Spanish state with the terrorist group Iberian Liberation Movement in the early 1970s. He was convicted of bank robbery and killing a police officer. His arrest and execution became a cause cĆ©lĆØbre in Francoist Spain for Catalan autonomists, pro-independence supporters, and anarchists. He was also the last person executed by the fascist Franco regime. His execution inspired new artistic works by Catalan artists Joan MirĆ³ and Antoni TĆ pies.

I canāt stop thinking about Nurul Shah Alam, the disabled refugee who died after Border Patrol left him outside in the cold with no way to contact friends or family.
It took five days for him to die.
He was blind and didnāt speak English.
They took the pole he was using as a cane.
This man survived an actual genocide only to be killed by the incompetence and cruelty of the Trump regime.
Five days of wandering around lost, sick and disoriented.
It was all preventable.
They could have taken him home.
They could have called his family.
They could have refused to leave him for dead.
Say his name. Donāt ever forget what they did.

SO THATāS WHY #MAGA #DOGE KILLED #USAID : to extort mining deals from African countries.
and you hear that radio silence from Bill Gates about USAID and the vaccine programs the orange shitstains killed?
that's because heās in on this colonialist charade.
MAGA is literally the transformation of USA capitalist class into an international crime syndicate. to call them the #EpsteinClass is not wrong at all.
this is mafia politics.

CTV News: Canadian man in ICE custody says he thought agents were only focusing on ācriminals and murderersā
"...Curtis Wright, 39, is currently detained at the South Texas ICE Processing Center, about an hour southwest of San Antonio, where he has been in custody for nearly four months. ...
Curtis, a U.S. permanent resident born in Edmonton, holds a business degree and works in the oil and gas sector. He was taken into custody in early November after being flagged at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston while returning from a business trip to Mexico.
According to his parents, who also call Texas home but spend their summers in British Columbia, the issue stems from a minor drug possession conviction dating back more than two decades to when Curtis Wright was in high school. "

Placing them in danger is Trump's point.
Report: Trump demanded deportation of Rashida Tlaib & Ilhan Omar after they tried to shout him down at the State of the Union.
āWhen people can behave like that... we should send them back from where they came," Trump said.
Neither would be eligible for deportation. Omar has been a US citizen for nearly three decades, & Tlaib is a lifelong citizen of Palestinian-American descent.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol is dead
Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Rohingya refugee from Burma, was nearly blind and spoke no English. He was dropped off by agents in Buffalo on the other side of town from his home. His family was not notified of his release. Police are investigating.
