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.

Cannot emphasize this enough

The people of Minnesota did that. Not Schumer and Jeffries, not Walz and Frey, not the standard-bearers of decorum. The People.

You don't get hired at Palantir without know exactly what morals you are compromising to work at Palantir.

Oh dang, okay I have a crazy story! So, this U.S. citizen was watching TV in his house, in his underwear (like a lot of us!) and ICE came and BROKE DOWN HIS DOOR WITHOUT A SIGNED JUDICIAL WARRANT AND DRAGGED HIM OUT THE HOUSE IN HIS UNDERS IN SUBZERO TEMPERATURES AND KEPT HIM FOR HOURS.

This isn't about "training issues." The murderer who executed Renee Good has been with ICE for 10 years, and according to DHS, the murderer who executed Alex Pretti has been there for 8 years. These aren't "new recruits," or officers that can be "retrained." ICE can't be reformed. Abolish ICE.

❤️Billy fucking Bragg just wrote a song about Minneapolis. I would prefer to be in a time and place where this wasn't needed but this is powerful and affirming for all of the amazing people here.

I wrote this yesterday about the hero city of Minneapolis www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKOW...

Not sure who is making Greg Bovino’s travel arrangements out of Minnesota but heads up babies in laps don’t need to buy their own seat

Modern Times is a South Minneapolis staple, and a personal favorite haunt. For the duration of the occupation they're renaming themselves Post Modern Times and going to a donation-only model. Everyone but ICE can eat for free. Donations: Venmo: moderntimescafe givemn.org/story/centralimpactfund

Not gonna lie, I teared up reading this. Everyone aspire to be like Alex.

Read this beautiful commentary from Stacey Patton. substack.com/@drstaceypat...

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

Really love my congresswoman. The threats she deals with daily are more than most of us could handle and she continues to stand up and fight back.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

“Trumped-Up Charges”: Out of Jail, Nekima Levy Armstrong Faces Prosecution for Anti-ICE Church Protest

We call for a deescalation of tensions from both sides, the murderers and the people being murdered

Weird, I’ve taken pictures of people bringing firearms, loaded with multiple magazines to protests outside Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s home and the Minnesota State Capitol.

A thread of MAGA protesting with guns and not getting murdered for it... Arizona, November 2020

I know people are on this already, just want to amplify that none of these MN corporations are willing to even *mention* ICE and some have been extremely cooperative with them. Target is a huge offender there. I think redoubling on #BoycottTarget + telling them why helps. bsky.app/profile/prem...

ICE has kidnapped another Indigenous person in Minneapolis. This is the fifth member of the Očhéthi Šakówinnto be taken this month. Statement from Standing Rock:

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

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.

This administration is cooked. Literally no one is scared of them.

In a choice between ICE and immigrants?

2020: maybe if we stop calling the racist racist they'll stop being racist 2026: maybe if we stop calling the fascists fascist they'll stop being fascist

In 2015, people (led by black folks) protested at a police station in North Minneapolis for days. Now, if you want to go several decades back in history you could talk about when the National Guard rolled down the same streets that police station was on but let's table that+

I'm honestly getting annoyed with some people (even here) acting like, within recent memory things popped off in the Twin Cities with George Floyd. 2015 was Jamar Clark, 2016 was Philando Castile and then after Floyd, in 2021 Daunte Wright was killed

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

I mean it’s true that there are “paid agitators” in Minneapolis. There are 3000 of them and they’ve assassinated two people.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

The thing about making a war plan entirely based on racism is that racism is irrational and when you make all your soldiers the most racist people, you just asked the most irrational people to carry out your irrational plan and, well, here we are

BREAKING: A young doctor who lives near where Alex Pretti, a nurse, was killed by ICE says in a declaration he saw the shooting, went out to help, was not let through at first then patted down before being let by, and was apparently the first to try and provide any medical assistance to Pretti.

The sheriff's presence at whipple is entirely to protect ICE, and now we're using the national guard for that too? How about getting ICE out of MN instead

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

ICE out of our cities ICE out of our country ICE out of existence

People are being executed in the street over a problem that straight up does not exist and both parties are complicit in the lie

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun. Any second now, I'm sure. He was a white guy, if that helps? Hello? NRA?

Reminder that everyone should call @amyklobuchar.com and @smith.senate.gov to push for a stronger anti ICE stance. Funding bill vote is coming up and currently still fully funds the terrorism in our state.

This is what 7 House Democrats voted with Republicans to fund. This is what Hakeem Jeffries didn't whip votes against. This is what Gavin Newsom said *wasn't* fascism. Anyone who doesn't commit to abolishing ICE should lose their job.

Yesterday we saw the best of Minneapolis and today we see again the worst of ICE and all of these fascists.

This story encapsulates so much about this weird moment. It’s utterly bananas, shows how sloppy the agents are, and the humane response of the two is such a contrast to ice.

Nekima Levy Armstrong and Chauntyll Allen, who were arrested and charged after a demonstration at a Minnesota church, have been released www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

For every person that was at the march today there was also someone tailing ICE vehicles or watching over a neighborhood business or doing mutual aid. This crowd is only part of us! I love this state, I love this city (and I'm including the whole metro in that).

This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/past-the-b...

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

There is no level to which these heartless shit-for-brains won’t stoop to inflict cruelty and suffering.

a major metropolitan area is under occupation and i would love to see *zero* more posts claiming "it's an intentional distraction from this other thing" or "actually makes sense for politicians to talk about other issues right now because this doesn't poll as well"

I don't know how anyone can defend ICE at this point. Absolutely disgusting. 5 year old taken into custody and sent to Texas.
