The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail. It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children. Vought is a mass murderer.

Kat Abughazaleh is implying here that subtext of criticism about her not being from the community is because of her being Palestinian-American/“not born here” There’s no doubt racism/sexism that does exist in this convo, but I will say the concern I’ve heard in #IL09 is very much not that 🧵

My Congresista! Looking evil in the eye and fighting back. 🔥

I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.

A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:

Fwiw 1, 3, 5, 7 and 8 are already required in law or policy and are not being followed so this is already half dead on arrival.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Anne Frank died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen

Nooooo!

It's so funny to me that the entire press has hailed Marie Concentrationcamp Perez as the whiz kid future of the party, and then you listen to her visionary insights and they are like "listen guys, it is vital that we be strategic and compromising."

There’s that number again

Throwing out the word strategic a bunch does not in fact make what you did strategic.

NEW FROM OUR PUBLISHER: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s "Abolish Trump's ICE" language is a “bad apples” argument dressed in a trenchcoat. Read more of this analysis in our RESHAPE newsletter ⬇️ thetriibe.com/reshape/lang...

Sen. Gallego receives tonight’s “Let Him Cook” Award. This is his first win and first nomination.

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Greg Bovino sadly filling one steamer trunk after another with elaborate fashy overcoats, the teargas canisters he always has bouncing around on him like labubus, and dozens of "chest-belts." They will be shipped ahead of him as he prepares to return to his home, which is a men's size 10 boot.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Bovino pricing flights to Buenos Aires.

The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered “highly trained.” The problem isn’t "training." DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity. We must MELT ICE and dismantle DHS.

The Feds never left Los Angeles. Don’t forget us. Solidarity with Minneapolis and all communities under siege by federal pigs. Keep fighting. Hold the line.

For everyone scolding the Left for being too purist or unforgiving of the converts joining the cause. “I have found the folks here more gracious than the so called Christian leaders I kept company with.”

Two weeks ago this guy announced he was providing legal help to the agent who shot Renee Good. That's how quickly the winds are shifting.

"My name is Delia Ramirez, I'm your congresswoman, but above all, I'm part of the movement of freedom fighters, tired of politicians saying the nice things but doing very little. I don't want a hashtag or a prayer, I want ACTION." @ramirez.house.gov (IL-03) calls on all of us to be freedom fighters!

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

There are far fewer police out here than I've seen at similar marches. Things remain calm regardless. Police do block the march from continuing south toward the Metro Correctional Center and the Chicago ICE field office. Chants continue: "From Minnesota to Palestine, occupation is a crime"

In the wake of the killing of George Floyd, “abolish ICE” was a part of the demands. Organizers have been telling us the links between systemic injustices as carried out across multiple US institutions. Revisit this piece by @tiffany.thetriibe.com 👇🏾

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.

I hate it here.

I am introducing the Melt ICE Act to end funding for immigrant detention and monitoring. We have seen the danger in infusing resources into DHS’s abuses of power. Funding for ICE is fuel for human suffering. It’s time to start melting ICE.

Hakeem Jeffries comes out against the bill funding ICE and DHS. This seems like quite a big deal.

People love to say “the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 moved the cultural needle back to Trump” while seemingly oblivious to the fact that the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 took place while Trump was in power and immediately proceeded an election that he lost.

pulling this reflection on white silence/fear over here, too:

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Embarrassingggg

Can’t believe it’s been 10 years since this Iconic tv moment David’s Dead happened

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

“You have a right to flee for your safety, and so if you drive off and you hit one of these people, that’s their fault for impinging on you.” - Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, June 2025

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

this is exactly the story they told about Silverio Villegas Gonzalez -- which turned out to be entirely false
