100% this. Especially the bits about the Democrats that mostly serve to vent energy away from change.
Enough. Enough.
The old normal is done and won't return. Shouldn't return.
The only way this ends is with a new world for us. For all of US.

Identical wisdom from non-violent activists' favourite, Nelson Mandela:
"A freedom fighter learns the hard way that it is the oppressor who defines the nature of the struggle, and the oppressed is often left no recourse but to use methods that mirror those of the oppressor. At a point, one can only fight fire with fire"
- Nelson Mandela
Never forget that what’s happening in Iran started with a young woman. 🧕🏽
Mahsa Amini, was 22 years old when she was murdered by the Iranian regime for wanting to be free.
People in the West could take notes from the feminist-led resistance in Iran. 🇮🇷
I just heard back from my buddy on the front lines in the #TwinCities. He says it's like a war-zone, but folks aren't afraid and are standing up to #ICE! Wow!

Saturday actions will never be enough. We have to escalate to higher-level disruptive actions that support with increased community organizing, saving resources/money for long-term actions and risks. this will all be new to USians that have no experience in to such long-term, disruptive actions.
None of this will be easy, convenient or safe. That's not what opposing fascism looks like.
RE: https://social.coop/@dennyhenke/115890653035999835
Have the folks at @indivisibleteam called for a General Strike yet? Are you supporting the May 2028 General Strike called by the UAW? Are your members organizing the community-based groundwork for a multi-day strike?
The one-day Saturday protests of 2025 will not be enough to stop #FASCISM. Will you call for middle of the week walkouts/strikes in 2026? Our #DirectAction #resistance needs to escalate in 2026. Households and neighborhoods need to save money and prepare now for disruption.

Fascist paramilitary invaders assault and abduct a US Citizen and licensed gun owner while he was lawfully concealed carrying (Minneapolis, MN 1/13/26)

We are watching the death of the Fourth Amendment in real-time, captured on a shaky cell phone camera in a Minneapolis parking lot.
The latest footage coming out of the Twin Cities isn’t just an arrest; it’s a terrifying stress test of American civil liberty, and we are failing. A U.S. citizen—standing on his own soil, accused of no crime, holding no contraband—was swarmed, threatened, and detained by federal agents for the singular crime of knowing his rights.
You can feel the cold through the screen. You can hear the frustration in the victim’s voice. He knows the law. He knows he isn’t required to carry a “passport card” to buy groceries or show ID to a federal agent simply for existing in a public space.
But in January 2026, the law is secondary to the badge.
The escalation was immediate. The agents didn’t de-escalate; they moved to dominate. They threatened to tase him. They went hands-on. And in the breathless aftermath, after searching his pockets and finding a legally owned firearm (in a state where conceal-carry is lawful), they spun the narrative instantly.
“He reached for something,” they claimed.
The video tel different story. It shows a citizen standing his ground, refusing to participate in his own warrantless search. The “reach” is the fiction they use to justify the violence. The truth slipped out in the agent’s own frustration: “All we needed was your ID.”
That admission is the smoking gun. If “all they needed” was an ID, they had no probable cause for an arrest. They had a desire for submission, and when they didn’t get it, they manufactured a crime.

#Minnesota and the #TwinCities sue the federal government to stop the #ImmigrationCrackdown

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — "Minnesota and its two largest cities sued the Trump administration Monday to try to stop an immigration enforcement surge that led to the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by a federal officer and evoked outrage and protests across the country.
"The state, joined by #Minneapolis and #StPaul, said the Department of Homeland Security is violating the First Amendment and other constitutional protections. The lawsuit seeks a temporary restraining order to halt the enforcement action or limit the operation.
" 'This is, in essence, a federal invasion of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, and it must stop,' state Attorney General #KeithEllison said at a news conference. 'These poorly trained, aggressive and armed agents of the federal state have terrorized Minnesota with widespread unlawful conduct.' "
