Lawyers of Minnesota, local attorney Daniel Suitor is trying to coordinate legal resources needed by the people and organizations responding to ICE's occupation of MN. (Lawyers not from MN, you might also be able to help!) See Dan's post for the link to the form.

expectation: you will walk down the street hailed by beautiful white women thanking you for Saving The Homeland reality: a woman who looks exactly like your mom calls you a whiny bitch and the cute cashier gives you the finger and tells you to go fuck yourself and everyone laughs when you fall down

some of these dudes like playing keystone cop occupying army but no matter how much of a front they put on it wears on you to have everyone around you curse your name and relentlessly mock you and a lot of the new guys are hopped up on twitter propaganda and aren't ready for it keep it up

I live in grand fuggin’ rapids and there were little old ladies out with protest signs on my way to pick up my kid. ICE is bullshit and everyone can see it now. Nobody likes fascists, and deep down they all know it. I don’t know how this story ends but I’m a lot more optimistic than I was yesterday

It's so real. I am helping a church pull together a community meeting about preparing for ICE and everyone I'm reaching out to "yes-ands" me. I am 40 and I have spent my entire adult life organizing, and I have literally never experienced this before. It's wild. People are DONE.

just a reminder that we aren’t even seeing the worst of what is happening in Minneapolis from someone detailed at the Whipple Federal Building yesterday

I was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota. If you have places for me to add, please DM me.

Another thing Walz could do is lift his return to office order.

Folks on the ground are asking me to lift this up because the need is still growing, all around Minnesota. If you can give, please do, and if you can't, please amplify!

Make laxatives your new secret ingredient....

One thing I’d like to see is my senators and governor every day on tv at 5pm holding a press conference with video of every documented abuse that ICE is doing. Curate all of the witnessing we’re doing and show it to the press.

Hi folks, I'm seeing a lot of "Eyes on Minneapolis" & "We support Minnesota" sentiment. Here's a tangible way you can help: Trump just suspended federal funding for SNAP benefits to Minnesota. Second Harvest Heartland is an MN-based hunger-relief org. Please donate what you can. www.2harvest.org

Thousands are at Powderhorn Park in south Minneapolis rallying against ICE. Video by Alex Kormann

The funding for ICE runs out on January 30th. The House and Senate should rise up unanimously and defund it completely.

This is a bullshit answer. With very few exceptions the ICE guys do not want to die for this regime. Conceding the law to the imagined threat of violence is asinine. If “your” cops feel this way that’s their problem, too. @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social

And at that point you should be rallying residents and businesses for a citywide strike and mass resistance until the occupation ends, in addition to e.g. cutting off municipal services to whatever buildings the feds are using.

this is really just the tip of the iceberg. if you are in minneapolis please continue to spread the word about Defend612.com ans the Monarcha line

It was O'Hara, less than six weeks ago. Many of us said "Watch his actions, not what he says." And here we have the proof.

What the actual fuck @klobuchar.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com? ICE murdered one of our neighbors in Minneapolis yesterday & continues to abduct our immigrant neighbors today & you're voting to confirm Trump nominees?

Klobuchar completely misses the point again. It's ICE's entire illegal & immoral mission of ethnic cleansing that's the problem. Not its failure to "coordinate". Vichy. Quisling.

This is so beyond tone deaf to suggest ICE 'coordination' with local police is the problem here. Another glaring example of why Klob is unfit to lead Democrats and unfit to be gov.

Of note: A school official, who encounters kids between the ages of roughly 14 and 18 every day—kids going through early adolescence and learning how to interact with other humans in a social fish pond—had this to say about ICE: “They’re just animals. I’ve never seen people behave like this.”

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

This is the only correct position, and the inevitable response from knee-jerk centrist reactionaries of "it won't work" is not a valid objection. Every member of Congress has a duty to say that what Noem has been doing is not acceptable.

I am outside Roosevelt now, my daughter goes there. Talked to staff, ICE was in a car pursuit of someone and they crashed and went up on school property. Teachers formed a circle around the person to protect them. Ice releases tear gas and took two people

*Looking at the crop of potential DFL candidates for governor* So how badly you wanna be governor? Prove it right now.

endorse watching one of the many videos of Minnesota volunteers bringing the spirit of Gettysburg to this, not the cold blooded murder

Further. Trump and Noem too.

The shooter and Bovino have to be arrested. ICE murdered someone in broad daylight.

Messages from Minneapolis Councilmember Jason Chavez on WCCO just now: 1) Call to ARREST ICE 2) If you live in South Mpls, the most helpful thing you can do today is PATROL YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD Join your neighbors: defend612.com

They have been wanting to do this to us in Minneapolis since 2020. My heart goes out to everyone here in this city. We all have ptsd from 2020, some more than others. Don't forget to ground yourself in your body right now. Eat. Drink. Jump up and down. Recognize your body's desire to fight, flea.

Uh, no. When the federal government declares war on our city we don't turn the investigation over to the federal government. Arrest them under our laws.

Adding this part as myself: even of you’ve had zero training, start looking out for SUVs with out of state plates (esp FL, TX, and CA) and carry a whistle at all times. Use your horn if you’re in the car. If you hear a bunch of whistles, follow the sound and join them.

Hit your social medias hard today by letting the world know that we are being OCCUPIED. Secret police are rounding up people indiscriminately.

Organizers in Twin Cities making rare plea for folks to share broadly: ICE ops have changed & escalated this week. They've moved to a 'flood-the-zone' strategy, nabbing anyone they can from bus stops, the sidewalk, cars, or homes. This means indiscriminate abductions and obviously no warrants.

A reminder that Conrad Hilton was a first generation immigrant and this is a stain on his legacy

At the time I hadn’t fully pierced together how bad the situation was and I assumed there was some sort of reason no one was getting in trouble. It was above my pay grade. But there was a gut feeling that something wasn’t right. And THAT was the worst part by far.

The worst part though was the aftermath. The insurrectionists were in our own workplace. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz would be walking around as if nothing ever happened. I had to go through a military checkpoint to get to work. What difference did it make if the perpetrators were in the building?

I’m one of the few Hill staffers that can or is willing to openly talk about January 6th and let me just say it absolutely sucked. The attack was bad and there was a brief period where I wasn’t sure if my boss was alive. We all had no idea it was coming though were told not to come in that day.

Today as it did five years ago, the Constitution disqualifies Donald Trump from holding office.

… which included going up to Latino residents asking for their immigration status. Please take precautions. We need people patrolling our neighborhoods and supporting our neighbors now more than ever. 2/

Good morning! We’re seeing a ton of immigration enforcement in South Minneapolis this morning with many neighbors reporting kidnappings by ICE. I also wanted to let you know my concerns with the behavior of these ICE agents yesterday… 1/

"Five years ago, Trump launched an assault on our Capitol, watched the battle on a screen—just as he did during the Venezuela operation—and egged on his forces as they hunted our vice president. Maduro’s regime isn’t the first government Trump has tried to topple in our hemisphere. It’s the second."

Hard to argue with this calculus. Klob would almost certainly run circles around even the best gop pick. And we really need to win this.

This. FTR: I do not like Amy. Her office # is programmed into my phone because I call to yell at her so much. But she changes the calculus on the governor's race, and helps us down ballot with DFL candidates across the board, and she's a fundraising machine.
