No longer in my neighborhood community chats, and feeling fairly sad & disappointed about it. As an autistic person, I've struggled to connect with my neighbors. The NN signal chats gave me a safe space to do so, and it felt great to finally build some sense of community. 1/2...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

This is Minneapolis. Collective trauma, and neighbors helping neighbors. This is our 24/7 every day lives right now, not just a 10 second news clip.

🚨"Shut it down for Alex, shut it down for Renee, shut it down for every immigrant terrorized. Shut it down until ICE is no longer on our streets!" -Minneapolis ICE protesters chant about upcoming 2nd ICE general strike in Minnesota happening on Friday January 30th. LIVE NOW ⬇️

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." Meet 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨 𝐆𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐳, an ICE Deportation Officer from Miami, FL (originally from Puerto Rico). Gonzalez has lived in Miami and Hollywood, FL. He decided it would be fun to travel to Miami to kidnap and threaten people. #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

Seems like people would wear masks if they were doing something illegal or wrong.

You hate to see it.

I've witnessed more than 1,000 shackled people boarding ICE flights at MSP - I've never seen any kids. I'm deeply concerned that Delta Air Lines, the only carrier with scheduled non-stop flights between Minneapolis and San Antonio, might be flying children out of Minnesota for ICE.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

JUDGE: “It concerns me that Attorney General Bondi’s letter cites three things that are the subject of pending litigation before this court,” referring to the District of Minnesota. "Is the executive trying to achieve a goal through force that it can't achieve through the Courts?"

Summary of "Signal Gate": Easily accessible public info on how to get connected with neighbors was found by right wing agitators. (defend612) They joined group chats that help folks find specific groups for their neighborhood. Some of the group chats are easier to get into than others. /1

Dear neighbor, Tom Homan, the “border czar”, is heading to Minneapolis and will oversee federal immigration operations here in Minnesota. The White House said this is meant to “continue” arresting the criminals, but we know this is false. 1/

BC: we're absolutely not asking you to do that. this suit does not challenge the INA. when they say they're doing it to get worst of the worst off street--they're plainly not doing that. it's a pretext. that's important. what there's saying they're doing can't be true. it's pretext. /49

BC: is you're taking out the illegal end piece of it. these hypos -- we're so far beyond that, it's not necessary to draw the line. ... so far beyond the pale of legality. such an affront on the sovereignty of the state. think about gun laws. we hae open carry laws. suppose there was /46

This was a whole lot of words to say absolutely nothing. Let’s end the era where these corporations control politicians.

The National Basketball Players Association has released a statement on the killings in Minneapolis: “Following the news of yet another fatal shooting in Minneapolis, a city that has been on the forefront of fight against injustices, NBA players can no longer remain silent”

Really, Reddit?

Mini vigils happening across the city for the nurse executed in broad daylight. People are still actively out patrolling for ICE. People are still at Whipple helping those released who are being dumped without phones, warm clothes. People are still delivering groceries to those sheltering in place.

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.

I just hope people outside of MN understand that there are thousands of people here in Minneapolis who ICE watch every day. Who show up to the same corners, streets, businesses, etc. in our neighborhoods. Who compile and confirm reports and send alerts. Who have their phones ready and voices loud.

I keep thinking about how we haven’t seen minors boarding the dedicated deportation flights here at MSP; how many kids are the commercial airlines at Minneapolis - St. Paul International flying to detention camps, and which airlines are they? Whistleblowers, ping me on Signal: ottergoose.11

Soooo I just got an email about how RFK Jr’s crackpot antivax organization Children’s Health Defense is suing the American Academy of Pediatrics under RICO cc @kenwhite.bsky.social Those mobster pediatricians, you know.

A federal appeals court has paused an injunction barring immigration agents from “retaliating” against peaceful protesters and observers in Minnesota. This photo from today shows a federal agent spraying a protester on the ground with a chemical irritant.

The green stuff was just used in Uptown.

She was absolutely right. And she would have been an amazing President.

Homan: "ICE arrests US citizens every day"

Acting Field Director David Easterwood.

Crypto. No ethics. No integrity. Just money.

"The cold never bothered me anyway...."

Still baffled that Minneapolis hasn't cancelled their contract with Flock. Why are we paying to enable ICE to surveil us?

Gonna pass on this one, @minneapolismn.gov #readtheroom

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"

In America now you can be shopping with your toddler one moment and fleeing with her in your arms from a secret police attack the very next.

BREAKING: Staggering scenes as brave Iranians stand up to their illegitimate government in Tehran... um, hang on, I'm being told this is actually Minneapolis. Forget I said anything...

What to do if ICE comes knocking: www.reddit.com/r/TwinCities...

This is an "administrative warrant". It's not signed by a judge and is therefore unlawful. ICE agents carry stacks of these around in their cars and just fill them out on the fly. Make sure everyone knows what this looks like, as they have already started going door-to-door in some neighborhoods.

Alpha News claims that it has obtained the cellphone video recorded by the ICE officer who shot and killed Renee Good. (Warning: Disturbing.)

FOX: It does look like pepper spray was deployed and it does look like Roosevelt students were in the vicinity. What do you say about the use of pepper spray here? ACTING ICE DIRECTOR TODD LYONS: Law enforcement officers would never do that unless it was absolutely necessary
