Re: newly released texts by Border Patrol agent Charles Exum, who shot Chicagoan Marimar Martinez: In the aftermath of the shooting, Exum was in a chat group called "posse chat." Another in the chat asked about Exum's vehicle. He also said he had "a great new scenario to add to our training."

I do unfortunately need more of the "Yair Netanyahu exiled to Miami for beating up his dad" news cycle

This is for going towards my phone bill and also some groceries to be clear. ❤️ I do really need help and thank you so much for doing this. bsky.app/profile/kate...

US-made bombs guided by Palantir technology.

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

Really comes off to me as the employees being fine with what Palantir is doing in Gaza and Palestine but being NIMBY about ICE deploying the same technological tactics that the IOF has been using. Pathetic cowards.

What is soft power but a way to draw cover for hard power and it's catastrophic consequences? Coups, assassinations, invasions, bombings, but yes the jeans and music was cool I guess.

We imbue each other SOCIALLY with rights as living beings, not through some divine intercessor or a contract on paper.

It's not a possibility for some, but if you can, bicycles and e-bikes are great in dense urban areas for observing and documenting kidnappings and are much more difficult to be tracked down to an individual's home residence.

Yay my pronouns have been delivered (the pronoun picker labeller is working!)

message from MN

Minnesota is famously known for its palm trees.

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved. DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

It's just one incestuous circle jerk between the DHS and the IOF both inspired by the worst history has to offer, encouraging each other be as brutal and cruel as possible.

They truly live in a weaponized unreality. They sort of kool aid fed to soldiers in conflict zones meant to allow them to dehumanize others. There is no rehabilitating action that can save them anymore, even when this is over they're actively a danger to everyone around them.

Ice black bagged a live streamer this morning out of his home in a no knock early morning raid breaking out the windows to his apartment building and flooding his entire apartment with militarized police. They are targeting observers. They are targeting activist and they are terrorizing the city.

And here it is the proof that Governor walz and the Democrats sold us out. Hennepin county sheriffs are now protecting ice as they disappear people from the government center down town

Will Shitsel is just Andy Ngo for liberals.

BREAKING: The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

-5°F in Minneapolis tonight. At the site where feds killed Alex Pretti, the air still smells faintly of tear gas. Hundreds of people still here behind some impromptu barricades. Message spray painted on the road reads, "fuck ICE, love always wins."

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

state repression remains regardless of resistance & opposition. the state kidnaps, brutalizes, tortures, disables, & kills bc that is what the ongoing white supremacist anti-black project of settler-colonialism that is the u.s. has always done & will continue to do for as long as it exists.

This is an admission of guilt

Abolish ICE. Nothing less.

He was a nurse.

For folks asking: yes, the person shot has died. Just announced. The video circulating shows what can only be described as an execution.

At 26th and Nicolett in Minneapolis this morning— Feds have just shot another person in the streets. Furious community members are gathering. State police and conservation cops here in front of ~50 federal agents.

🚨BREAKING: "ICE OUT!" THOUSANDS of Minnesotans are marching in -10 degree cold as part of statewide general strike demanding ICE leave the state. Hundreds of businesses are closed, union workers skipping work, residents not shopping. Our @jtcestkowski.bsky.social is LIVE NOW⬇️

The 5-year-old arrested by ICE In Minnesota is detained at Dilley. We reported on conditions there in the below article. Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.

As an addendum, the feds are now 0 - 15 (by my count) in prosecutions deriving from Operation Midway Blitz. You can read more about how they keep losing here:

Breaking: jury finds Chicago resident Juan Espinoza Martinez NOT GUILTY of placing a hit on Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino.

Tyler O'Ryan Gramlin, 32, of Borden, IN is a Border Patrol Agent who has traveled from state to state committing extreme violence. On Jan 21, 2026 Gramlin emptied a can of pepper spray directly in the face of a prone protester at point-blank range in Minneapolis #MPLS #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

The manager of my house forced me to sign a 20 day eviction day notice (which is illegal), and the company whose job it is to make sure I'm safe had my case worker leave and didn't reassign me one. Please donate and support me as I try to navigate this. givebutter.com/iG0zWz

If I could Thanos snap into non-existence everyone still supporting DHS and it's most evil divisions, ICE and CBP, I would without any hesitation. The world would immediately be a better place.

Love and solidarity with everyone taking part in the general strike. Amazing to see more cities taking part.

Also 3 years ago this week: Chicago sprang into action to organize an emergency vigil for Tort in the aftermath, and cry in the cold under the train tracks. Their death deeply affected many in movement but, sadly, never seemed to break through to the wider world. Thinking hard on that this morning.

Three years today. The cops are already killing protesters—it's not a line we haven't crossed, it's a thing already happening—but lots of people never heard about or paid attention to this one. So it goes

Trying to argue respectability, optics, lawfulness, and/or legality with fascists will always have you on the back foot because of the way all of those concepts are weaponized against the public.

Here is the gofundme page for the family with 6 kids who was driving home from a basketball game when ICE threw a tear gas bomb under their car and their car filled with tear gas causing their 6 month old baby to go unconscious and need hospitalization. www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

Have never seen so much gas. It's not a competition, Chicago endured horrors upon horrors, but this was just relentless Still fucking coughing 🚬

Some ICE vehicles got taken and a streamer is saying that the entire MPLS city wide battle plan, operational overviews, tactical details and agent lists + id info just got found in the car lmao these clowns driving around with hatchbacks full of their whole shit like the villains in an immersive sim

Another vehicle opened. Back was full of license plates, gear, various fed patches.

Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person. Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured. BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

Doing more digging on the list dumps I’ve been able to find of this and yeah the “leak” angle here is complete bullshit. It’s a scrape of anybody that has had ICE, Border Patrol, FBI in their linkedin profiles combined with a dump of Brady List databases.

welp time to reset the clock

Its Abolish ICE, period. No nonsense about defunding, or more training or whatever centrist bullshit it's being spit out by cowards.

Minneapolis right now— At 35th and Park, a crowd has gathered after a car crash involving the feds. Agents just launched tear gas and pepper balls at people.

It appears that protesters have made their way inside of one of the hotels in downtown Minneapolis, where fascist ground forces are being housed. Minneapolis is going to make it fucking ungovernable for these fascist terrorists. We will hold the line.
