- Reposted by Joshua DahlmanThis is like a scene out of Monty Python. ICE agents get a name back from face recognition and multiple agents start calling out "Maria! Maria!" to see if a woman in custody reacts. (Presumably if she does that's a match???) It didn't work, so they ran the app again and got another name.

- Reposted by Joshua DahlmanJust a reminder that real journalism is required to educate voters enough for democracy to work. The people dismantling journalistic institutions right now want American democracy to fail.
- Reposted by Joshua DahlmanIt is like an extra level of depressing that our country isn’t even making concentration camps, where folk can at least go outside from time to time, rather they’re just big warehouses where folks are locked in cages and sleep on concrete floors, and no one can see the cruelty inside.

- Reposted by Joshua DahlmanI think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

- Reposted by Joshua DahlmanThis isn't “parental choice.” It’s shelves emptied, stories erased & students cut off from ideas that help them learn, question & grow. Every removed book is a reader who won't see themselves reflected & narrows the world a little more. FL students deserve libraries full of possibility, not fear.
- Reposted by Joshua DahlmanA good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together — organizers, reporters, and those who care — and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.

- Reposted by Joshua DahlmanThings are still bad here in MN. But until Bovino left, the admin would meet each challenge with more escalation. Withdrawing him cracked their resolve. Now they seem increasingly scared to escalate. So they’re stuck. They should simply leave.
- Reposted by Joshua DahlmanPalantir needs to be obliterated the same as ICE, and Peter Thiel can face the Truth and Reconciliation committee he’s spent his entire life trying to negate. If we want to fix our country, this is non-negotiable.
- Sandy Hook irrefutably proved a large portion of the USA does not give a single fuck about children and there’s zero political appetite to protect them. So why would you think that molesting kids would be any different?
