99% chance this is what they mean

If you cannot make “these people are leaving BABIES in CARS in WINTER and then returning them to their carekeepers with BRUISES” into popular sentiment as a politician, you’re either inept or you want this to keep happening.

We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

Dear neighbor, HIGH ALERT‼️ If you are vulnerable to deportation please stay home today. I’m sorry to say this but it’s not safe to be outside. ICE is tearing families apart. Children of immigrants please keep your family safe. Jason Chavez 1/

Even just a name can put in motion efforts that get someone released. If they're a citizen, we can get them jail support. If they're an immigrant, there are groups working overtime to file habeas petitions before they're whisked out of state. But it starts with a name.

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

The thing that gets me about this is the ICE dude tackles a bystander and then other bystanders try to pull the ICE dude off and the other ICE guys don't seem to know how to respond.

As some of you know, I've switched roles from covering Minnesota to hosting ProPublica's forthcoming podcast (launch date TBD). It gives me great, great, great, GREAT pleasure to announce that my replacement is none other than the inimitable Andy Mannix: www.propublica.org/atpropublica...

WE GOT MORE VIDEO OF ICE FALLING ON ICE

Jacob Frey told ICE agents to get the fuck out of Minneapolis, a hugely popular viral moment, and the media has been browbeating him over it ever since. Trump flipped a guy off and told him fuck you and it’s barely acknowledged.

Apparently ICE goons in multi-car caravans are circling Spanish immersion preschools in the city taunting and photographing the parents and neighbors who are patrolling the school perimeter to keep kids safe.

Local pizza joint leads insurgency against federal paramilitary forces. Wrecktangle Pizza co-owner: "You can see from that video exactly what happens when they try to fuck with us." www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQUo...

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

Unions and community orgs are calling for a Minnesota-wide shutdown in 10 days to protest the ferocious assault by federal immigration agents. They're saying on Jan 23, no work, no school, no shopping. SEIU Local 26, UNITE HERE Local 17, & others are supporting, w/ more to join. By me, Amie Stager

Unarmed woman executed by state may have been on committee to fight against unarmed women being executed by the state

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it. We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics. What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

Every single local grade school in my city has community safety patrols to defend children & their parents against ICE. Most are founded by &/or partnered with school boards. These are not extremist, violent positions. These are working people protecting their loved ones from the American gestapo.

Feed is wild. Spotlights on atrocities but then OTTERS. (No complaints probably needed it)

PUPDATE: Swimming lessons are officially underway behind the scenes… with mixed opinions. 🦦💦 Asian small-clawed otter mom Pintar is confident her pup is ready and gives him a gentle toss into the water. Dad Sebastian is not so sure and immediately tries to rescue him. 💙

The four Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other three are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people including the Dakota 38 during the Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

why wasn't it bigger news that healthcare covers dental now in canada?? It's called the CDCP and it was expanded to cover everyone from kids/seniors in fucking SUMMER I guess??? if you're canadian, sign up for it, I did, and now all my dental is covered. I might cry. Thank you NDP 🥹

I really dislike the "been criticized by both sides so you must be doing something right" quip as a lot of the time the nuance in those critiques are VERY different.

GoFundMe for Kaden Rummler, the young trans man blinded by ICE agents this week. www.gofundme.com/f/stand-with...

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility. This is beyond cruel. www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

There are times I wonder if Im still burnt out given my fatigue levels some days. (I think mostly state of the world more than work)

ive been crunched so hard i nearly died so im usually gonna be very loudly anti-crunch

There you have it; the Trump admin allows ICE lawyer James Rodden to stay on the job. His personal social media account praised Hitler, supported white nationalism, and said that America started going downhill the day that Lincoln was elected.

This guy writes better than Bari Weiss lmao

We have, as an industry, to face up to this tendency to chase clicks by printing non newsworthy shit that - at best- casts doubt on things there’s no reason to cast doubt on.

we don't have very much but we can strip anybody who works for ICE of any social niceties whatsoever. you find out somebody is with them? they don't get to be ANYTHING to you anymore. and tell them WHY. it SUCKS to be ostracized and stigmatized. please use it on somebody who's earned it for once

Social consequences for fascism, harm and complicity with same. Or: Kindness and "nice" aren't the same fucking thing. Kindness centers human dignity and the preciousness of all life, not social comfort.

what the fuck are we doing here, @cnn.com?

That poor woman that hid in a house sobbing while ICE threatened her and the people helping her has a GoFundMe here: www.gofundme.com/f/helping-a-... Was set up by the one who helped, and has set up the woman as the beneficiary.

This is a wild burn lol. Also Dokoupil was the guy that tried to challenge Ta-Nehisi Coates on some daily show, right? He looks familiar...

Anyone ordering anti-ICE #stickers from a heavily targeted city— now #Portland, #Minneapolis, Chicago, DC, etc.— I'll throw in extra ICE GO HOME stickers to help, because fuck these chuds. nobodyssweetheart.bigcartel.com

No new pictures, where are you mentally?

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

when ICE asks you questions about your neighbors, you've never met your neighbors in your life. you've never even seen them from afar. neighbors? what neighbors?

This could've easily been my Latino partner when he used to work at Best Buy. He's been afraid to leave our house recently due to racial profiling. This is a 17yr old CHILD US citizen that was taken + roughed up by ICE while working his Target shift. They dropped him off later bruised+bleeding.

For years, many of us have tried to get people to care about criminalization with only limited success. We made the point that criminalization is fascism's fuel. And I really really hope that more people now understand this.

God I hope you’re right and that we make it in a real and tangible better So we don’t have to do this shit for a good long while Let THIS Reconstruction actually stick

The hood is buying out tamale carts on strength The yoga mommas are taking every training You got Texas dads doing anti racism at readings on Tik Tok And country singers leading voting drives I may be naive but people are fighting I’m not arguing with folks who just don’t want to

When I say I have no patience for the intellectuals but all in the world for the “wine moms” This is why Doing the good not only with no gratitude but now with the knowledge that their government hates them That’s the miracle to me

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