- Reposted by Corinne LowPredicting that this week we’ll hear more conciliatory words from the Administration regarding Minnesota (since they’re starting to realize that ICE has become politically toxic) but everyone outside of Minnesota needs to know that nothing on the ground has changed.

- 😍😍😍
- This is real. So much for free markets, eh?
- This sweet baby, I cannot look at this photo without crying.
- Reposted by Corinne LowI am introducing the Cut It Out And This Time I Really Mean It bill. It provides an additional $57 billion to the murder goons but they will agree to wear business casual Monday through Thursday and if they do any murders they have to put a dollar in this jar.
- Come hang out with me in Helsinki #econsky!
- God this devastates me. Just complete unnecessary destruction of lives and livelihoods.
- Reposted by Corinne LowIt's not quite the most pressing issue at the moment, but the American people absolutely have a right to know the names of the federal officials who shot and killed a man peacefully protesting, who was on his knees, prone in the street when they shot him in the back.
- Reposted by Corinne LowStatistic: 2/3rds of murders in Minneapolis so far in 2026 have been committed by DHS agents
- Very well explained. Nonviolent resistance works well because it convinces people on the fence and creates a PR crisis for those in power, as it did during the Civil Rights Movement.
- The goal of nonviolent civil resistance is not to convince the regime they're wrong. The goal of #NonviolentCivilResistance is to convince the people to work together to make it impossible for the regime to sustain itself. We aren't nonviolent for the regime. We're nonviolent for each other.
- Reposted by Corinne LowWorse than Kent State, really than any episode I can think of probably dating back to Reconstruc & earlier b/c 1. continuing, not 1 off. 2. organized, not individual ofcrs losing it 3. literally at hand of federal government, which is 4. immediately lying & circling the wagons to prevent inves.
- Reposted by Corinne LowI'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
- The twin cities are a light right now.

- Reposted by Corinne LowIt’s important to crunch the numbers given all the nonsense this administration spouts, but also worth stressing we didn’t actually need new research to know this is how tariffs work. It’s well known, it’s what virtually every economist said, & the administration just plunged ahead delusionally.
- A new study show that Americans - not foreigners - have payed 96% of the tariffs so far. Here's the WSJ: www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

- Reposted by Corinne LowI think a good strategy for your non-leftist social media presence (ie everywhere but here) is to give this photo - the remains of Danish soldiers returning in coffins after being killed in America's war in Afghanistan - as wide an audience as possible. Remind people who we're betraying
- This is important. It keeps interest from being like eleventy billion percent of our national budget, instead of 6.
- This is perfect. Real life laser cats.
- Cat wandered in front of the camera during the #aurora long exposure
- Follow George!
- Huge fan of Lydia's writing, and this column paints an indelible portrait of state terror and the quiet strength of resistance. "They have misjudged the ground beneath their feet: a state full of ordinary people who’ve decided that watching their neighbors being dragged away is an intolerable sin."
- I went to Minneapolis last week. What I saw was horrifying and inspiring in equal measure. Gift link to my latest column: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/19/o...
- This. He always seemed like a wise grownup. We are the grownups now. No one is coming to save us.
- Reposted by Corinne Lowi think this MLK day the thing to focus on is the strategic focus and tactical brilliance of the civil rights movement and the way it was laser focused on a set of achievable goals
- Reposted by Corinne LowI don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.
- Reposted by Corinne LowThis is why we celebrate the Boston Substack Party, when the patriots wrote strongly worded pamphlets about tea.
- This man was convicted and sentenced to 22 years in prison for attacking the federal government before Trump pardoned him. Now he works for the federal government.
- Ack, sorry, should have verified! Apparently he SAID that, but there's no verification he's actually on the list. I guess it was based on the below post (my screenshot from X). The fact that he's free, pardoned by Trump, is 100% true, however.
- Reposted by Corinne LowThis is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...
- Are the Gestapo comparisons apt *now*?
- EITHER we live in a nation with the rule of law and a constitutional government OR this is acceptable. Both cannot be true.
- Reposted by Corinne LowWASHINGTON (AP) — Claudette Colvin, whose refusal to move seats on a segregated bus helped spark the civil rights movement, dies at 86.
- I hope we can still be shocked by this.

- Dark. And realistic.

- Reposted by Corinne LowAt last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,
- I felt the same way seeing it!!! A little bit of light in a bleak moment 😊
- Reposted by Corinne LowLooks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”
- How can you look at this and not feel that we have already lost? If THIS is already normal. (What our founders would have referred to as occupation during peacetime, in fact.)
- Reposted by Corinne LowAccording to my sources, the FBI was initially open to a concurrent investigation with the MN Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (the state agency that would do this investigation). Trumpy U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen heard about this and intervened, barring the FBI from cooperating with local police.
- MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota investigators say they can't access evidence after fatal ICE shooting and FBI won't work jointly on probe. @reuters.com
- Reposted by Corinne LowImportant context for claims that the Nicole Renee Good was obstructing/assaulting officers before she was shot & killed: The last time immigration agents shot a woman (Marimar Martinez, Chicago) they made similar claims. Prosecutors have already dropped the charges www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...
- Reposted by Corinne LowI don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

- This is really, deeply terrifying to me. Our information eco-system is already so polluted, not being able to trust visual information is a whole new hellscape. YES, to sophisticated consumers the video looks fake. But your aunt on Facebook or your teenage nephew are not!!
- So important. Work volatility at low income levels is REAL, and exactly the type of thing SNAP should be providing insurance for. Food assistance obviously shouldn't have work requirements. But these that punish people who work a lot, inconsistently, don't even meet their stated objective.

- I feel bereft, confused, lost, and angry this morning. Anyone else? Like everything I've done to try to have a career and life that positively impacts others seems so meaningless in the face of my--all of our--impotence to do anything to stop our country from committing violence. What now?

- Let me just say this this statement from the EU is some bullshit. (Click to see the previous tweet, too. Lots of leaders lack legitimacy. Can we bomb and kidnap them all Kaja?)
- At least Bush went through the charade of lying to congress first. Jesus christ.
- Beautifully written, urgently terrifying. "In towns like mine, outsourcing and automation consumed jobs. Then purpose. Then people. Now the same forces are climbing the economic ladder...If our leaders fail to prepare, the silence that once followed the closing of factory doors will spread..."
- Guys this is so seriously fucked up. Like, I know it's cliche at this point, but can you imagine if Obama...? www.cnn.com/2025/11/02/p... (sorry it's paywalled)
- I think it's pretty newsworthy that this story starts with someone who *waited in Mexico* until his asylum apt in the US, during which he was detained, then jailed for 6months + sent to CECOT. Being kidnapped and disappeared to torture camps is supposed to be something that happens "over there."
- Reposted by Corinne LowGot some figures from the @lachlanmcnamee.bsky.social Salma Mousa & @kylepeyton.bsky.social DEI analysis from 4.67 million employment records at US public universities (1993-2024) Compact article gets it backwards. Unis diversified *leadership* not faculty.
- We need to read this. People need to understand. Antisemitism IS actually an urgent threat, but the crisis point isn't campus protests.
- I yearn for the day we can have debates about commonsense policy solutions needed to avoid hyperinflation versus slashing entitlements. This Romney op-ed made me wistful for THIS actually being the relevant discussion. (And it's surprisingly good. Gift link.) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/19/o...
