After Pretti was killed, Savageford, who is Asian-American, said she was taken to a warehouse near the Whipple detention center where immigrants were being detained. She was strip-searched, including by male agents who Cook told HuffPost on Friday were “touching her privates.”

NEW from me: Lawyers for a witness to the killing of Alex Pretti confirmed she has given an interview to the feds. Full details inside. Warning: Disturbing content. www.huffpost.com/entry/she-wa...

Shopping as a form entertainment is the root of so much pure evil in this society. Remember that EVERY LITTLE THING is ALWAYS taken from our Mother Earth.

Such an emotional man who needs to be permanently out of MN politics. Hey my northern Minnesota niijiig (friends), please get everyone you know to the voting booth in November!

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote:

Salad greens are insanely easy to grow. Even indoors with a pretty minimal investment in equipment. Unless you don’t wash your own damn hands, no worries. Look at perennial greens like Strawberry Spinach, Orach, Salad Burnett. Exit the corporate food system any way possible. #growSomeFood #landBack

This is a nation BUILT on war crimes against Indigenous Nations, so why is anyone pretending to be shocked and outraged? And just look up how many tribal members don’t have daily access to unpolluted water TODAY if you think ‘this was all long ago.’ Line 3, Line 5, proposed mines all ongoing in MN.

Scott Horton@robertscotthorton.bsky.social

The US is adopting a strategy of attacking water storage and desalination plants designed to render the region uninhabitable. If continued, this strategy will make the Gulf littoral uninhabitable in the coming decades. Yet there is no discussion of these tactics and their repercussion in the US.

The report follows a 2022 investigation by @nmindepth.bsky.social and ProPublica that exposed the school district’s high rates of harsh punishment for Native and Hispanic children. The disparity was evident even in kindergarten and elementary grades.

But Landback isn't vengeance. It's repairing and healing the harm that has been done, it's building relationships, communities and collaborating to build better futures for all of us, one in which we work together to protect the land and water so we can actually have a future.

Did a single one of these business owners consider that going up and making asses out of themselves into a microphone might make people less likely to want to support their businesses? I was a fan of WSK...

A bunch of Tribal Nations have similar questions.

Michael Clemens@mclem.org

Is it the official policy of the US Dept. of Homeland Security that no Jews serve there? If not, who is the “we” defined by belief in Jesus Christ as savior? Or does the “our” refer to the Americans whose security the Department has a duty to protect, none of whom are apparently Jews?

Minnesota needs to find a way to claw back money from the feds to cover these essential healthcare facilities decimated by the cuts in the Big Baksheesh Bill last year. And the GOP is going to further cut Medicaid in the current reconciliation bill being hashed out right now.

Minnesota House DFL@mnhousedfl.bsky.social

BREAKING: We just passed critical legislation to save HCMC, the largest safety-net hospital in the state, from shutting down! The hospital was at risk of closing due to the Trump/GOP cuts to Medicaid. This is one of the biggest, most impactful policy victories of the YEAR. It's a BFD.

Angie Craig is another corporate Dem who takes AIPAC money & voted against her constituents best interests often (& with Republicans). I’m happy to see people wake up to her ish. Standing and turning your back is an excellent response that shows DFL leadership we are seriously done with her.

Peggy Flanagan, here in person, gets enthusiastic reception at CD5 DFL convention. Guy speaking on behalf of Angie Craig inspires a lot of turned backs.

I’d take it further. It’s in line with the whole “waiting for actually Auschwitz” to materialize fully formed without a doubt before we can be allowed any sort of alarm. Can’t call them Nazis if they’re not wearing the arm band. Can’t call it a concentration camp if there’s no gas chambers.

Today is day 139 of the ICE occupation of MN. If ICE hasn’t come to your city or town yet, let us tell you: NOW is the time to organize. Build trusting relationships. Get folks into Signal groups now, based on trust and connections. It will make what comes next so, so much easier.

Foster care is the successor to residential boarding schools. Forced disconnection of Indigenous children from their languages, cultures and traditions. It’s cultural genocide from pre-1978 in new packaging. Natives have ALWAYS been over represented in foster care systems.

Guess I should repost this since so many others did. How is it that everyone I know, knows how to hold off berry rot/mold, and so many of you don’t?

AK Magee@akmagee.bsky.social

Wash in vinegar water (5:1 water to vinegar) and let dry on a towel. Wash the container, too, This works for all berries, grapes, cherries. Kills mold and bacteria that hastens rot. I’ve had strawberries last 10 days, especially if you keep them separated (not in the same drawer) as other produce.

Remember the white suburban punks who came in to start ish during George Floyd & we sent them screaming home to their mommies? And the proud microdick boys and three percent of normal intelligence mfers who flew in to cause ish, many of whom did some jail time? We will find you, cowards. Guaranteed.

Someone doused Renee Good’s Minneapolis memorial and a nearby pile of wood with gasoline and started a fire at about 9 p.m. Tuesday.

SO MUCH THIS, I am also so very tired of this, shaming terrible people is great but shame them for the REASON THEY ARE TERRIBLE and not for anything about their bodies or appearances

look. these people care deeply about appearances and superficial appearance and I get it’s very tempting to dunk on the gap between their displays of suppposed strength and health and YOUR perception of their strength and health. but that’s just putting a different wrapper their (shit!) framework.

Much love to this member of the Minneapolis Native American community, bringing her good medicine (and other people’s medication) through the war zone ICE has made of our neighborhoods.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

I’m conflicted about the tipi encampment near the Whipple. I haven‘t seen elders speaking —critical for any group claiming to be in ceremony. I see a lot of calls for money & resources when we are stretched super thin keeping folks housed & fed while they’re in hiding . 1/3

2/3 Sure the photos look cool and this calls attention to the horrific history of that place. But I haven’t heard them talk about much beyond current detentions (and not very clearly). Nothing about Hegseth’s plan to turn that site into a military base again.

3/3 Most of their communications are just calls for support. Is this activism grift or legitimate work? It reminds me of some of the more sketchy groups that latched on to the Line 3 protests and Standing Rock before that. I hope I’m wrong. But are there elders supporting this group? Who? #iceOut

They crush the local economy, deplete city budgets, illegally withhold congressionally allocated funds. In exchange we get masked Texans running wild in the streets, paid for with tax money that was supposed to be used on our healthcare. Thank you to our federal partners.

Ending arrest quotas isn’t even on your list, @schumer.senate.gov and we all know that’s the root cause of the ‘arrest everyone brown, figure it out later’ lawlessness we’re seeing. Why is that, Chuck?

Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov

Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE: End the roving patrols and racial profiling. Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police. Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Boycott driverless taxis. No riders, no profit. Do your part to eliminate these dangerous vehicles & preserve jobs in our communities. #boycottWaymo #boycottTesla

The abolition of ICE is not just an aspirational policy goal, it's a very reasonable one. Made all the more reasonable in the context of an administration that has actively dismantled *far more* beneficial and longstanding government agencies. That said, we aren't going to get there yet. 🧵

Why is ICE threatening the chaplain of the MN Timberwolves? This shit is happening everywhere. The national guard is protecting protestors at the federal building. We are literally under attack by the Feds. They executed Pretti. Why is everybody acting like it’s nbd for fucks sake?
