This week on the pod Isaac Sant, one of the Minnesota 15. While the agents who murdered Minneapolis residents Renee Good and Alex Pretti still haven’t been charged, the Minnesota 15 face felony for protest against ICE. Listen to full episode wherever you get your pods

The administration's goal, openly stated, is to consolidate police power in the country and create a huge, well-funded, extremely aggrieved, pro-MAGA, anti-immigrant, anti-protestor police force the likes of which we have never seen in this country.

I've been noticing that "ongoing criminal investigation" is one of those magic phrases that cops and cop-adjacent-beings use to mean "I don't owe you an explanation"

Some of the escalations we're seeing, including the attack on Ilhan Omar's home (I will not pretend this act was "investigatory"), are desperate acts. But we must remember that desperate people can be very dangerous. A domestic abuse victim, for example, is in the most danger when trying to leave.

The scariest thing to me this Halloween season isn’t actually the deranged fascist leader Mein Trumpf or the Trump fascist regime. The most frightening thing is that millions of US-Americans aren’t out in the streets every day in a mass uprising demanding the immediate removal of Trump & his regime.

Hard to keep up but important to do so to remember why you fight but also to remember to fight--the temptation to think, "oh, he's gonna be toothless" because of bad polls or infirmity is too strong. He may be personally failing but he's still a wrecking ball.

“Refusing election observers is usually something that countries in a position of weakness do, when they know that they have corrupt or unfair elections."

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

I wrote this before the AfD’s victory. It is even more relevant now – especially since early reactions indicate that Germany’s democratic politicians are hellbent on doubling down on these mistakes. Warnings from the Struggle Against Trumpism. Some thoughts from the piece, on the day after: 🧵

You don't have a right to safe drinking water, a US court just ruled. A Trump-appointed judge also said Americans have no “constitutional right to truthful information” during a public health crisis.
