We're gonna win. Every city these tired motherfuckers go to they're going to be met with fresh, well-rested, and angry protestors.

Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS. Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies. AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS. Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Ta-Nehisi Coates: With the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, "Trump has clarified an inconvenient fact—the culture war is an actual war"

Minnesota remains under siege, operations have started up again in Maine and never stopped in Chicago or LA. Find on the ground groups to support (mutual aid, legal assistance, watch groups) and in as much as you are able to build up your capacity and your community's to sustain a general strike.

General Strike or not, Second Harvest's model of rescuing food and maximizing cash donated is impressive. Food insecurity was already an issue, made worse by this siege.

"The threats to Southside Family Charter School came after New York Post articles describing the school’s social justice focus and a series of social media posts from right-wing commentators."

Fun little fact: The Minnesota Republican Party renamed itself the Independent Republicans after Watergate, because of the association with Nixon and his corruption. Changed it back in 1995.

When you have lost the person who supervised the modern construction of the international grift machine that is FIFA. I say this as someone who was frustrated Chicago no longer has a stadium qualified for World Cup games: Boycott the World Cup games in the U.S.

When we wrote this in the @theguardian.com in June we were invited on Talk Sport just for them to tell us that the idea that people would be dragged from stadiums is “ridiculous” now conservative fossils are making the point. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

A lobbyist for the Wyoming League of Women’s Voters expressed concern about a new law requiring voters to show proof of citizenship: “The effort to make things secure went in a direction that really restricted that access.”

As Thomas Ricks showed in WAGING A GOOD WAR, social protests like the civil rights movement often adopt the same strategies as military insurgencies -- raids, campaigns, sieges, etc. I agree that anti-ICE protesters "clearly studied the playbook" but it's histories of MLK and SNCC they're studying

According to a government source, an Israeli, believed to have been a settler, forced the two men to kneel at gunpoint and subjected them to an improvised interrogation.

A group of Italian policemen who work at the Italian consulate-general in Jerusalem were held at gunpoint and forced to their knees by an Israeli settler in the occupied West Bank earlier today. The Italian government has summoned the Israeli ambassador over the incident.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk. Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared. Well, here’s a link: georgetown.box.com/v/Vladeck-IC...

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...

Remember when trans people said Suozzi was a fascist in blue and we were told he was just practicing smart politics?

an administration that understood it needed at least *some* public opinion on its side would dump bovino immediately

Crazy how Trump's lawyers have never seen anything Trump has ever said or done.

A stark moment in this morning's hearing in Minnesota when an attorney for the state is staying this:

We are all drowning in a pool of systemic propaganda so I understand why the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti feel esp shocking and I think it is important to do the internal work of asking yourself, if this applies to you, why the deaths of immigrants/Black folks don't shock in the same way

ICE & CBP have killed several people over the last year and the only names to enter the popular consciousness are the names of the white Americans they have killed. We need to attend to what structures that, both externally & internally. And the same outraged cops? Defended the killers amongst them

I am conscious of the fact that I knew on Saturday that when I asked people to call their Senators in the face of Alex Pretti's death, that people would call. & those calls might make a difference. & the DHS funding bill is dead right now. I don't feel immigrant death would get the same reaction.

"The British monarchy directly enslaved thousands of women, men and children in the Caribbean. Even as the king headed an imperial government newly committed to the ultimate extinction of slavery, he personally profited from the forced labor and sale of human beings."

Good morning especially to the pop-up leftist supply depot bankrollers who absolutely decimated this within hours. At the end of the day we're going to win for a simple reason: they can't fathom caring about strangers and we do it like breathing. 💕

Chicago! The Bob Loquercio Auto Group's executive VP says the murder of Alex Pretti "is EXACTLY what I voted for." Please take your business elsewhere and let them know that you are doing so. www.blautogroup.com/

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.

A German soccer federation executive committee member says it's time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Boycott the World Cup Not a foot should be set in that country until the madness stops

Anti-ICE activists found the hotel a bunch of CBP are staying at. Unclear what happened next but CBP tear-gassed the street and are now all outside both sides of the hotel in their gear and blocking traffic.

On NPR on Friday, there was a story of a 4-year-old--an American citizen--who hasn't left her house since early December, not even to play in the yard. And her 8-year-old brother recently stopped going to school, too. Their father is undocumented, and the family doesn't want to risk him being taken.

if I was staying at this hotel and this happened to me, I would demand a refund and that the hotel pay for new lodging. I’d slam them to everyone & complain to the corporate office. It is not safe to stay in a place that lets these violent, unhinged thugs stay there. hotels must ban CBP/ICE now.

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding. Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

ICE took the flower man in Echo Park 40 minutes ago. He’s at this corner every day. I’ve bought flowers from the man and woman here for anniversaries and birthdays. Lemmy loves to smell them whenever we walk by in the mornings. I was just at the street corner 15 minutes before it happened. Fuck.

FPS is Federal Protective Services, another agency under the DHS umbrella. They’re supposed to be deployed to protect federal facilities. This thread is documenting what is happening at a Marriott, where a noise demonstration was underway to protest the presence of ICE/CBP reportedly staying there:

And now, Swan Lake!

During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake

Federal officers just came in and cleared the protest with tear gas. One officer asked press why we didn’t call 911 when the protesters were destroying the hotel and told us that we are bad Americans. Full video to come on @statuscoupnews.bsky.social

WATCH: “I HAVE DONE NOTHING AT ALL!” Local Minnesota rapper @nurdrocks.bsky.social tackled and detained by Trump’s racist ICE goons for no reason. (His music 🔥: www.instagram.com/reel/DTIm7BV...)

Earlier today I was thinking about the tactic of providing people with legal authority to take custody of children when their parents are disappeared, and lo, it is happening.

Watch the video. This is not a person that should be armed let alone involved in any kind of operation. unhinged people with guns are holding a hotel hostage. National guard need to remove the ICE members for public safety.
