- Reposted by Astrid HammerWhy isn't news of Trump building vast concentration camps being treated as a national emergency?
- Reposted by Astrid HammerTWIN CITIES Armed Citizens Against Tyranny is a HONEYPOT action. No one in the Twin Cities, including the MN Gun Owners association, knows anyone supposedly in this group. Local orgs are STRONGLY urging folks to STAY AWAY from their planned "protest." acatusa.com
- Reposted by Astrid HammerDave has been *relentless* in his federal courthouse coverage of the fallout of DHS cases against Chicagoans. Much of his reporting is done at great personal cost. Please support him today:
- This is just flat out murder.
- Nobody wants their bar to become the Nazi bar.
- Yes! And while we do that, we build more trains. That are accessible. Those ‘robo’ taxi’s are also roving surveillance devices. Including the little food delivery robots - which are also an accessibility mess. We can all live better lives. We just have to be able to see all of us as ‘we.’

- Reposted by Astrid HammerNEWS: Three Illinois Democratic congressional candidates being boosted by dark-money Super PAC ads that are shells for AIPAC also share 100s of donors who previously funded AIPAC. Many donations were sent to the same candidates for the same amounts on the same day. From @ryangrim.bsky.social and me.

- This is too adorable. People who can be normal around children shouldn’t be so hard to find.
- From @acyn.bsky.social (posted on X) "Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal? Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail… Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you. Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."
- Reposted by Astrid HammerLove and support you always, Cincinnati Enquirer (support local media), but esp today This is a Midwest daily paper. About as middle of the road as you can get & they understand that this is an objective, straight news headline, in the context of a planned Trump/GOP onslaught in Springfield, etc
- Reposted by Astrid HammerRemember that horrific immigration raid in Chicago? Turns out it was just ICE doing the work of landlords, because of course the landlord class is a collaborator.
- Reposted by Astrid Hammeranyway. Kat Abughazaleh has to look at that NJ-11 result and smile a bit.
- Reposted by Astrid Hammer“Every single woman had been in the facility about three weeks and had been living in the same articles of clothing for three weeks…Their clothes had not been washed. They had not been offered fresh underwear or fresh clothing. Some of them were literally still in their snow boots from Minnesota."

- Reposted by Astrid HammerChild at the podium: “A woo woo woo.” Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.
- Reposted by Astrid HammerNo joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
- Reposted by Astrid Hammer"many people have been here for 12, 14, 16, 18 months without a final court decision" These are very much concentration camps. Anyone who says otherwise is either committed to fooling themselves, or to fooling you

- Reposted by Astrid HammerAIPAC might have just inadvertently and single handedly tanked a pro Israel candidate and sent a woman to Congress who says Palestine is the victim of a genocide
- This is painful, omg. Surely this man has practiced law before this?

- Reposted by Astrid HammerEverything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began. Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.
- Reposted by Astrid HammerWe should’ve known when they brought in Tom Homan The “draw down” of ICE in Minnesota is nothing but a hoax -They’re still threatening protesters at gunpoint -They continue to conduct warrantless arrests -Kids are still being detained It’s only a matter of time before they kill somebody else

- Reposted by Astrid HammerIt is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.
- Reposted by Astrid HammerHey, remember that time I said that pointing out that AI is giving bad data to ICE is missing the point because ICE doesn't actually care if the data is good? Check out how right I am.
- ACAB forever.
- Governor walz capitulated to the federal government in exchange for that 700 ice agent drawdown to allow county and municipal jails to take people directly into ice custody www.startribune.com/mn-ice-drawd...
- Reposted by Astrid HammerIt would be vile and invasive even if it were, which is what a lot of us have been yelling about for decades.
- Reposted by Astrid HammerI think this is my frustration with saying this is a good list of demands; You’re demanding a lawless, rogue, corrupt part of the government to follow laws with nothing but good faith backing them. So ultimately what they are asking for is a serious of sternly worded promises.
- This drives me up the wall. These are federal agents paid with our tax dollars. They were acting in an official capacity. There is absolutely no reason why the public shouldn’t know who each and every one of these guys is. Thanks for covering, Jon.
- Unraveled is two full time-ish staff members and a smattering of free-lancers and they’re doing phenomenal and necessary investigative journalism. Please throw money at them.
- Reposted by Astrid HammerAnd yesterday they suspended our friend Jack (oftentimesjack.bsky.social) for the same crime of sharing Palestinian fundraisers. Bluesky is enforcing digital apartheid on Palestinians and enabling their starvation by suspending people outside trying to help.
- Reposted by Astrid Hammerthe Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex
