personally i am not really impressed when a computer is good at math — since a computer is math . i am a lot more intrigued by things like , for example , a rat being an exceptional cook — since that’s not really expected

One thing that didn't click for me about the "sin of empathy" or "toxic empathy" stuff from the right is they believe women without children having a roaming instinct for empathy that, without children, gets wrongly "displaced" onto immigrants, trans people, and each other

3 generations from now Minnesotans will be immune to mace.

Under US law, it is nearly impossible for a person to file a civil rights lawsuit against an individual federal agent.

But an increasing number of people harmed by ICE and DHS agents are filing tort claims: demanding monetary compensation from the federal government for what has been done to them. https://t.co/YglNYiGoLQ

The DCC girls organized with their coworkers, did a march on the boss and threatened a walkout which resulted in a 400% pay increase. Personally I absolutely love to see it

Good luck with this lmao

It is so obviously clear immigration enforcement is merely a pretext for the actual mission of normalizing paramilitary force and surveillance intrusion for an ethnocentric state project. Your guilt or immigration status is irrelevant.

The latest Human Rights Report recommended investigations into these nine leaders inside the Department of Homeland Security for their role in managing and overseeing Operation Metro Surge. 🔗📰:https://t.co/muOpQJC2RA

🚨 DHS conducted raids this morning in Minneapolis, targeting rapid responders. In a few hours, they will announce conspiracy charges against popular defenders who allegedly resisted federal occupation of the city, describing them as “antifa” groups. Another NSPM-7 case.

Re: Ken Martin refusing to release the DNC's 2024 autopsy, we've talked about the Gaza angle, but I think there's actually a more central issue. We gave them a billion dollars. A ton of Dem consultants made a FORTUNE from this loss, and they do NOT want to be held to account.

Unhoused people are most commonly booked for a top charge of trespassing — a charge frequently used to criminalize people for having nowhere else to go.

Guess what would likely solve that problem? Housing, not jail.

@RonLatzMN @epmurphymn i am glad this is what moved u to care about gun violence, but Black and brown children in North Minneapolis have suffered from the affects of gun violence for DECADES. it’s really frustrating seeing white electeds only care about this issue when it affects white children.

one way we can reduce the risk of snitching is to build a robust system of jail support. people will be more resilient and less afraid when they know that their community will support them through their incarceration.

[Isi Breen @isaiah_bb]

Killing a child isn’t merely a horror for their family. Murdering kids violates the most profoundly universal law of being human - the requirement that we protect them.

Killing children is a crime against the entire world. And the people who do it will never be human again.

Carceral sanism is what happens when that hierarchy is organized around removal as the ultimate solution for “how to deal” with people dehumanized by sanism.

[Beatrice Adler-Bolton @realLandsEnd]

Posts like this are a painful but useful case study in what we disability scholars call “carceral sanism” which is a kind of maximalist fusion of “mental health stigma” with punitive social logics. It frames visible crisis as a breach of public order, not evidence of abandonment
