What we’ve seen in Minnesota should make you furious, but it should also inspire you.

ICE just crashed a car at my intersection (due to their own shitty driving) and immediately got out and tear gassed observers.

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

Thirty-one known defendants have been charged in Chicago with non-immigration crimes tied to “Operation Midway Blitz.” With today’s acquittal, 15 of them have been cleared. No one has been convicted.

Liam is one of four Columbia Heights, MN school district students who have been taken by ICE in the last two weeks, the school district said. Liam's teacher: “He is so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him. He ... just brightens the room. All I want is for him to be back here and safe.”

this little man struggles to deploy the canister for 30 seconds and then throws it directly upwind

This comes just after the president publicly demanded that ICE should start showing the public how terrible the people are who they're grabbing and arresting. In this case, his name is Liam. He's five years old. www.kare11.com/article/news...

I would argue that the case for dismantling ICE has, at this point, virtually nothing to do with larger questions of immigration enforcement and reform, it's just clearly incompatible with a free and democratic society to maintain a secret police force with sweeping and arbitrary authority.

"Liam’s teacher, Ella Sullivan, teared up when thinking about Liam. 'He’s a bright young student,' she said, 'and he’s so kind and loving. His classmates miss him.'" www.startribune.com/preschooler-...

The fundamental problem here is not one of bad apples. This is what the agency is designed to do. The barrel is bad to start with.

They kidnapped a five year old child

This guy went to work today, put a mask on, kidnapped a 5 year old child, and then used him as bait so both he and his father could be sent behind bars

This is, in my opinion, not only the correct moral/ethical/legal position but also the correct political framing. Everyone can see the agency is out of control; everyone can see that it is constantly violating human rights. "Scrap it and start over" is the moderate position.

This poll shows that 74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting getting rid of the agency. Any elected Democrat who wants ICE to exist is outside the mainstream of their party and the people they purport to represent.

Chuck Schumer is a MAGA sleeper agent. It's the only explanation.

Gavin is an absolute worm. The most unprincipled Dem alive, which is really saying something.

They’re gonna study this shit in 50 years like we study the FLN now bsky.app/profile/rhut...

Surprise! They lied out their asses again

Here is what this neighborhood looked like Wednesday night.

this completely horrifying. ICE is a domestic occupying threat against us all

what a legend lmao

this is fucking incredible

None of this shit matters! The right's wet dream came true, the government is attacking its people on American soil. The civil war is here and look at the fuck all our so-called leaders are doing. We are the only ones left protecting us.

Here's the deal going forward. If you've ever in any capacity voted to fund ICE or confirm Trump appointees: Congratulations! We are no longer in the same party! I don't care who you claim to represent, I don't care "how the game is played," you are pathetic to me and will never receive my vote.

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.

Good call to action: “You have an absolute right to peacefully film ICE agents as they conduct their activities...Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans – not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution." mn.gov/governor/new...

Maybe @cnn.com should be airing this video instead of copaganda

“3 flash bangs at my car. ICE knew we were trying to leave. My 6 month old can’t breathe.” Trump’s goons terrorize a Black family in Minneapolis, to the point where EMT’s have to come help his child get away from the gas and chaotic dangerous scene (H/T @thejfreakinc.bsky.social )

Not all heroes wear capes

before I go to bed, I feel obliged to emphasize how tonight’s rampage in northern Minneapolis was, by no exaggeration, a glorified episode of klan night riding by federally deputized groypers. Yes, DHS always had these people but the difference now is that they’re in charge and with a $175B budget.

This is a residential neighborhood.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

TW ⚠️ —- SANTA ANA: Trump’s goons shoot an unarmed 21 year-old protestor in the eye at point blank range with a non-lethal round, blinding him in it forever… then drag him on the ground like an animal. We are over the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸

Neighbors standing guard over churches so that parents can have secret meetings about how to keep daycares safe. This is what's happening in the Twin Cities right now.

ICE Shoots Projectile and Takes Out Kid’s Eye Surgeons spent six hours removing shards of glass, plastic, and metal from his face. Unfortunately, the damage to his left eye was irreversible. Second kid in the video, shot point-blank in the face.

How is this not inciting violence? Why must they remind ICE that they have immunity? One of their agents just shot a killed a woman in broad daylight and they’re effectively telling them to go ahead and do whatever they want because they’re above the law. Be safe Minneapolis.

I want these fuckers prosecuted. I will not vote for a candidate who shies away from this.

Horrible violence against a protester in California: www.latimes.com/california/s...

Today is a great reminder that we can never be too ready.

ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.

CONGRATS, TEXANS!

ICE goons rammed this United States Marine veteran's car and put her through torture just because she was following them from a safe distance. "they said 'have you not learned: this is why we killed that lesbian bitch'"

Trust AI. Use it. It will get better

There is no bigger freak than the unapologetically racist dude with a non white wife.

I can't describe how bad Minneapolis feels right now. My neighbors are pulling kids out of school. The public schools are offering remote learning until 2/12. We are having conversations in our alleys about how to protect ourselves. It feels like a military occupation with a blockade.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

At last night’s candlelight vigil for Renee Nicole Good, Bishop Rob Hirschfeld of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire announced he had asked the clergy of the diocese to get their affairs in order and to make sure they have their wills written ...,
