My contribution (a little late) to the #ICEOUT #ICEOUTMPLS comic posts. My experience with ICE in my city so far, keeping the language as vague as possible to protect the groups on the ground helping people here.

Saint Paul Public Schools, one of the biggest school districts in the state, is closed for the next two days because teachers need time to build hybrid learning because unaccountable masked, armed federal government goons have made it too difficult for nonwhite children to leave their homes.

TWIN CITIES FOLKS WHO WANT TO HELP AND DON'T KNOW WHERE TO START: I put together a big list of resources. Do you want to deliver groceries? do people's laundry? work in community defense? I want to help you get connected! naomikritzer.com/2026/01/19/h...

I’m the one in the brown hat. What you might not see is the victim in the car. His feet are pointing out the open car door. An agent is sitting on one of his legs. He’s only wearing crocs. Bystanders found his legal work visa in his abandoned car. #AbolishICE

COW TOOLS COW TOOLS COW TOOLS

the gangs all here 😌 #art #pokemon

Something a little different. Some cartoonists put out a call for comics about local ICE experiences. This one happened a few months ago so it's a little older than current events, but it's a story that I never stopped thinking about. #ICEoutcomics

They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

White folks. Watch this. Twice if you have to. And don’t just listen to her. Understand what it is she is saying.

Alt text, because one would think folks would want news about a general strike to go as far as it can.

The LUCE network has been *doing* protection work since the beginning and has a ton of trainings this weekend. If you are in MA save their number to your phone and consider getting trained. www.lucemass.org

American Indian Movement (AIM) patrol trucks have been spotted around NE and folks are flagging them as suspicious and giving them unwelcoming glances because they don’t know who they are. This is the AIM logo and flag, which you might see on their trucks. They are friends!

Claws out Teeth sharp Voices loud Bite ICE a message from Elsie and @maryrobinettekowal.com

This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way. Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.

I made a thing. Please share to boost the signal of mutual aid orgs on the ground in Minneapolis.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

For ease of navigation and sharing, I have turned my little list into a website: standwithminnesota.org

"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”" "“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

They're raiding apartments and going door to door in neighborhoods. #minneapolis #fuckice

Here's a list of mutual aid, food orgs and more helping in Minneapolis during this siege. #minneapolis #fuckice #minesota linktr.ee/mplsmutualai...

Decided at least one more thing I’m gonna do: I plan to call my House rep and both Senators EVERY DAY and bug them about the points below for the next month. Then we’ll see. I invite you to do something like this too - they need to be flooded with calls, letters, emails, messages. But mostly calls!

demons forcing us to place bets on our own deepening immiseration? i miss blaseball so much

Note at around 0:18 on the right, woman desperately trying to get a young child out of harms way. These Nazis must pay.

"I'm not in Minnesota -- what can I do to help?" A list of ideas!

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities. This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

ken did a really great thread here that nicely articulates why i block doomers. the only thing i’ll add is this: doomerism is a form of voter suppression. saying shit like “there won’t be elections” is saying there’s no point in fighting. it’s demotivating. fuck that.

This is Minneapolis: -drop the kids off for a day with their grandparents -go to brunch with your wife -get a text from neighbors who don’t have enough food & can’t leave home or they might be abducted by fed govt -get groceries as helicopters roar overhead -deliver food & this vehicle passes you

The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”

Watch out for the ONE question where they try to trick you by putting "I want AI" as the bottom option where EVERY other question has "I don't want AI" at the bottom!

There's this episode of Star Trek where Captain Picard is captured and tortured, and the main way that the torturer tries to break him is by showing him four lights, and telling him that there are five. There are four lights. This is not a post about Star Trek.

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears: archive.is/ur35j

what you clearly see, CLEARLY, is a driver who is spooked by the agents grabbing her door, takes steps to drive away, and is immediately shot as moves her vehicle *away* from the agents.

Shout-out to everyone who's tired as fuck of only seeing the first four lines of this poem shared around.

Do this. It works.

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

If you have any tips or info regarding the ICE shooting in Minneapolis, please text me on Signal @ premthakker.35 Your anonymity will be protected

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him. Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.

If ICE can do this to a random woman in a car, they could and would absolutely do this to any elected official, journalists, human rights lawyer, or immigration advocate they deem to be an enemy of the regime

The Trump administration proposed two regulations in December attacking gender-affirming care for trans youth and punishing hospitals for providing this care. Both include carveouts for intersex genital mutilation. The rules are NOT FINAL. You can push back. www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...

Reminder: LEGALLY, paypal does not need to know what you sell. Paypal has nothing to do with your business or its transactions. Its only purpose is money transferal. However they will try to snoop into your business as much as they can. DO NOT DISCLOSE ANY DETAILS OF YOUR WORK ON PAYPAL!!

fanny packs are a practical solution for carrying small necessities and are being unfairly repressed by social stigma

the default, cringe pose of "I must support Tough Military Action because I am Tough" is both morally wrong and bad politics

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.

Call your reps + please read the thread. Do it now, please. Script.
