Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art
A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign 

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”

they murdered two of our neighbors, shot at more of our neighbors, tear gassed thousands of us, and will now try to disappear us like they did our beloved neighbors. we know how to protect each other and we know not to be afraid. I love you, Minneapolis.

ALERT 🚨 Federal agents are being seen across our community as they arrest observers. Let me be clear, alerting our neighbors about ICE activity is not a crime, observing is not a crime, and loving your immigrant neighbors is not a crime. 1/

Nelnet just told me on the phone that the $50 IBR payment estimate visible on student aid dot gov was a “glitch” and I shouldn’t have expected to actually pay that under IBR. Unconscionable. The economic toll of forbearance ending is going to be devastating.

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide. Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session. Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

On the ground here in Minnesota, it’s hard to reconcile the immense bonds of community that have been built in a week with the fact that we live in a country whose government appropriated billions of dollars to an unaccountable paramilitary force whose sole purpose is ethnic cleansing.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

10:24 am on Jan. 13 at Oakland and 34th in South Minneapolis. ICE deployed chemical irritants at least 10 times before driving off with an abducted individual.
Crowd around ICE agents at intersection. Chemical irritant smoke visible in the crowd. The stop sign at the intersection has graffiti that reads “STOP ICE.”

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school

Renee Good was a 37-year old mother of a small child whose mom is not coming home tonight because an ICE agent shot and killed her. Enough. States need to pass new laws now to hold federal officials accountable and Congress must act to rein in ICE. We explain www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/how-to-sto...

there is no reason for ICE to exist. immigrants aren’t doing anything wrong by trying to live and work and provide for their loved ones. I don’t care how people got here. if they want to be here that’s good. leave them alone.

Colorado forced every county jail to open a polling place in November for incarcerated voters. This had never happened in the country. Guess what resulted? Jail turnout rose *500%* over 2020. Many lessons here for the rest of the U.S. New in @bolts.bsky.social: boltsmag.org/jail-voting-...
