We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason

“It’s not an option to not be here, and it’s not an option to not resist, and not speak up and use my voice” —Minneapolis protester at Alex Pretti’s vigil For more: bit.ly/4a3kelo

Our calls and emails are critical but it's also very important that we turn up the pressure on senators in public in their home states before the vote on DHS funding. We encourage you to plan creative, nonviolent, and lawful actions that honor the lives taken and highlight our demand to rein in ICE.

They want to seize the equipment to eliminate evidence of tampering with code in the machines (you know, like ETA's excellent analysis suggests may have happened). Remember, every accusation by this administration turns out to be an admission, and I expect this is no different.

ICE's terror campaign is part of a long American tradition of state violence, writes formerly incarcerated prison activist Robert Willis. https://bit.ly/4bFk6v9

We’ve been on the streets all day with @bradlander.bsky.social and because we had so many patrols out, multiple abductions were prevented. The world is looking to us for inspiration, and we will keep showing them how we show up for our neighbors.

Jeff Bezos should be a hero and donate the Washington Post to a charity. Bezos would get a big charitable deduction; the rest of us would get a newspaper dedicated to the public interest. This post from Steven Waldman is from a year ago but it's still a great idea. www.cjr.org/opinion/wald...

"Today, it is more than prudent, it is good citizenship to assume that everything ICE says, and everything the administration says in support of its deportation mania, is untrue until proved to be otherwise." The latest from George F. Will:

Learning to say no is one of the first steps in setting boundaries for yourself. It can be a work-in-progress but it's an important step for your mental health. It's impossible to say yes to everything because you'll face burnout. It's not being lazy. It's you protecting yourself.

Italy should arrest any i.c.e. agents who enter their territory for the Olympics, by force if necessary, and send them to the Hague for trial.

Libertarian Facebook going wild this week.

"Fight Against Fed Overreach" is a great term, bc the acronym doesn't feel forced at all. And worth remembering that by ousting/not electing reformers, places like Chicago and LA opted for DAs who would not stand up against fed law enforcement like this. A cost of our gross misframing of reform.

Ecuador’s Foreign Ministry has filed a formal note of protest after an ICE agent tried to enter the consulate in Minneapolis before being stopped by a staffer inside. Under international treaties, law enforcement officers of host nations are barred from entering foreign embassies without permission.

“I value freedom and limited government.” “I excuse expanding federal force when civilians are killed.” Those beliefs are colliding for a lot of people right now. 🔥

A defense that was not accepted at Nuremberg. Noem will get her day in court, and then the sentencing. Since she caused deaths which were the result of premeditation, the death penalty is only appropriate sentence.

I think it's a positive sign when these fascists start throwing each other under the bus.

Democrats just won a special election in St. Paul by 91%. That's basically impossible and also a 20% improvement over Harris's showing in the seat. Also, it shows that deploying ICE as a voter suppression tactic probably only works against their own voters.

100%. I honestly believe political leaders ask too little of people. The thinking is you need an extraordinarily low bar - so ask people for money or to sign something. People want to be part of something and they're eager to do real meaningful work in defense of their community and their rights.

"Housing ICE agents is not a neutral act." "Private actors are not obligated to materially support state violence. Hotels are private businesses." "That is precisely the dynamic the Third Amendment was written to reject." #USA #Housing #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

Yes - the difference between protesting and resisting. MLK Jr called it nonviolent direct action…requiring forethought, planning, conviction, and persistence in the face of sometimes horrifying adversity. All respect to the good neighbors of Minneapolis - they are representing the best of us.

I have begun to think that Minnesota pushback to ICE was unique and a model because it gave people something to do. It wasn’t about just going out in streets for rallying purposes. People had a mission: videos, whistles, information and communication flow to communities. They had something to do.

A protest sign in Minneapolis. Having lived and served in Ukraine, this one really hits home for me.
