- Reposted by Sharon ArnoldI’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.
- Reposted by Sharon ArnoldI think it should probably be a bigger story that the president of the United States is a raving lunatic
- absolutely wild to sarcastically mock those who want to uphold the constitution, the thing that every president takes an oath to "preserve, protect and defend"

- Reposted by Sharon ArnoldThere is zero reason for a billionaire to own an adversarial news outlet in a kleptocracy. And so billionaires are gutting the media companies they own, reorienting them to better align with the regime, and spending money on bribes rather than journalists www.404media.co/the-washingt...
- Reposted by Sharon ArnoldI saw a lot of “what do you expect Democrats to do” posts today, and I’m prepared to start with “don’t start caving on your plan before you’ve even formally announced your plan.” At this point, it feels like Republicans can just sit back & wait for Democrats to talk themselves out of everything.

- Reposted by Sharon ArnoldSince the reporters won’t walk out en mass when he insults one of their colleagues, I’m not listening to any of them. You are what you repeatedly tolerate. So they must have no respect or honor. Don’t give me ‘but they would lose their jobs’. Please, I’ve walked away from better for my honor
- Reposted by Sharon ArnoldHe's the only billionaire *so far* whose emails have been made somewhat public. The only way to become a billionaire is by being an amoral fucking monster, they will *all* in their emails be as monstrous in their own way as he was.
- Reposted by Sharon ArnoldThink about how Epstein was just a single billionaire, what absolute heinous horrors are in the communications of every other billionaire. *Any* random billionaire's emails will have skin-crawlingly heinous, horrifying shit. That is why they all must be eradicated.

- Reposted by Sharon ArnoldFour samples from the next Public Collectors booklet which speculates about what ICE and CBP agents do in their hotels when they aren't busy destroying people in our cities. This should be available starting on Friday this week. Some of you helped make this! www.halfletterpress.com will have it.

- so he praises red states and chastises blue states here, and I've been pretty sure for a while now that what they're getting ready to do is attempt to disqualify election results from those states. all this rolling over that our politians are doing now will only smooth the path for them
- Reposted by Sharon Arnold"The more votes that came in, the further behind they got. The only explanation is fraud because who wouldn't vote for us?" is wild.

- Reposted by Sharon ArnoldThis Homan presser is completely incoherent. He started by announcing a drawdown of 700 agents (good!) but then pivoted to whining about "rhetoric" (bad) and suggested there will be more bloodshed if it doesn't stop (grim). Not clear to me that anything is actually changing on the ground here in MN.

- Reposted by Sharon Arnoldthe end result of AI image, video, and audio generation is that society will no longer be able to rely on images or video or audio to represent reality. Children born today will never be able to assume that just because they have seen something on a screen that it is likely to be true.
- then we should all be living under Indigenous governance and laws of the land, but instead, they're deporting Indigenous People. they decidedly do not love "the people on the inside". but also, even according to the constitution, we have the right to freely practice our own culture and religion.
- read the whole thread! I just expressed similar thoughts in my IG stories yesterday. one of the reasons I so often reference Baudrillard, Debord, McLuhan, and Hall is because they discussed how media influences us and our reality. Baudrillard specifically predicted the hyperreal. now, we are there.

- I don't mean to get on this app to state the obvious. honestly most of the time I don't know what I can add to the conversation even though I've been active in it for 30+ years. I certainly won't say it better than the people I repost. but damn, sometimes I just need to say things so I know I'm sane
- billionaires are *right there*, get the money from them. the rest of us deserve to not work cradle to grave, what a fucked up proposition
- I know we all feel like we're losing our minds when these guys speak right, like, what is so funny, why are they laughing, what do they mean how much time do you have; a judicial warrant has always been required for ICE to enter a private space, this is not new or controversial, it's constitutional.
- Reposted by Sharon Arnoldit's grim, but the reality is that Trump wants more innocent people to die here in the Twin Cities and the GOP majorities in both chambers of Congress are either ambivalent about more lives being taken or outright support it
- Reposted by Sharon Arnold🌱🌱🌱🌱 New checklist: ICE Watch Digital security. For anyone working to hold ICE accountable through filming, foot patrols, adopt-a-corner, or rapid response. → activistchecklist.org/ice Designed with a lot of feedback from folks on the frontlines (Minneapolis and elsewhere).
- Reposted by Sharon Arnoldfor over 3 weeks, I've spoken to ICE watchers and organizers across the country: first right after Renee Good's killing — then 2 weeks into my reporting, Alex Pretti was killed. ICE watchers are being detained and harassed — but they're also stopping ICE abductions and inspiring others to join them
- Reposted by Sharon ArnoldLots of regular degular, never-done-an-activism folks have been activated in recent months and are working alongside a bunch of seasoned, die-hard, been-tired-for-ten-years-or-more organizers, and you don't know all of those stories bc most people are moving with a bit of discretion in these times.

- Reposted by Sharon ArnoldA new poll finds that 1 in 4 Minnesota voters took part in the Jan 23 shutdown against ICE, or have a loved one who did. Of those, 38% DID NOT WORK, either because they made the choice to stay out, or their workplaces closed. By me, @thomasbirm.bsky.social, @bloomekatz.bsky.social
- Reposted by Sharon ArnoldIt should be crystal clear to anyone with eyes and ears that Trump is DETERMINED to subvert free and fair elections in America. But in America, state and local governments run elections. So Trump can kick rocks. Still, ALL of Congress must be VIGILANT.
- Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

- Reposted by Sharon ArnoldOne way to think through the victory in Tarrant County, given that Rehmet ran in labor issues, is that the voters were offered two competing theories of solidarity and chose collective bargaining over white supremacy as their mode This shift is possible and important to aim for
