The invincible resolve and indomitable spirit of a community determined to throw off the yoke of injustice. Thank you Minneapolis for your strength and nonviolent resistance amidst horrific ongoing tragedy.

Yes, I’m weeping. But steeling my spine to keep up the fight. Bless and keep all those who died at ICE’s hands - we will not forget.

GURL. 🔥

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

Shared, with a portion of the poem:

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

I’ve known so many kind, generous, hardworking and underpaid health care providers at VA. If I’m compulsively reposting it’s because it’s just - we have to make it stop. Defund ICE, abolish ICE, fire them, and prosecute them. All the way up and down the chain.

Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country. As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.

Let us be heartbroken and angry and resolved to stop this attack on our country and our people.

Walz: "You kill a man, and then you just leave? You're law enforcement -- you just leave? Is there a single case in American history where you just, like, walk away and say, 'I guess that just happened and we're not gonna clean up our mess?'"

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now

ICE agents will continue to execute our citizens in the streets for as long as they believe they can get away it. There will be more executions like this. What are our leaders doing to prevent it?

ICU nurse from the VA, murdered by ICE. How long, oh Lord??

Gov. Janet Mills: "If they have warrants, show the warrants. In America, we don't believe in secret arrests or secret police."

Four-time Grammy Award nominee Jesse Welles performs his song "Join Ice." Bob Dylan once said a single folk singer could defeat an entire army. Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have our man.

So many women veterans running for the first time! Please support them! open.substack.com/pub/jessicar...

Minneapolis shows us the only way out Today, we will see the closest thing to a general strike in the US since 1946. Much of Minnesota will simply say, "Hell, no," to the lawless, vicious, and absurdly unnecessary assault on their neighbors by the Trump regime's Department of Homeland Security.

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.

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.

A dose of inspiration in the midst of chaos. Bless Dr. West, rest in power.

Insecure, cowardly, fearful men seeking some kind of self-worth by bullying unarmed Americans. Stop calling them law enforcement. All they are enforcing is terror and suppression of free speech.

Scalzi is the sh*t! Adore his books, love his posts. ❤️

We lost a lot of great Americans in the oceans, skies and battlefields of WWII, stopping regimes that did this.

“‘The only reason to conduct a new study is if you want a different outcome and you’re prepared to skew whatever answers you get to achieve that outcome,’ said Sue Fulton, executive director of Women in the Service Coalition” @wisci.bsky.social www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

Thank you, Senator @kaine.senate.gov Kaine for standing up for military women.

“Tell us where the non whites are so we can kidnap them at gunpoint” sounds like a free country to the Roberts Court

New video shows ICE agents detaining a US citizen legal observer in Minneapolis. The agents smashed his car window, dragged him out, and placed a knee on his neck.

Excellent and informative thread. Whenever they call ICE Watch “trained agitators,” correct the record!

“To tell professors not to teach the accurate application of law to facts is telling law professors not to teach, but to preach.” - Rachel Van Landingham gazette.com/2026/01/12/a...

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.

"The veteran said he saw volunteering as an ICE observer as another way of serving his country. 'It’s the most American thing to do: not to be scared of people trying to scare you... This is a pivotal moment we’ll be asked about by our kids, "Where were you?" www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

FOX: Where’s the protest against the regime that's killing people in the street right now? Trent: They are doing those today. It’s called the ICE protests FOX: Are they talking about Iran at the ICE protests? Trent: No, I think they are talking about the regime that is shooting people in the face

Episcopalians going *hard*

“A crowd of hundreds also gathered at Ocean Beach in San Francisco to form a human banner spelling ‘IT WAS MURDER — ICE OUT.’” www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti... #ICEOutForGood

Philadelphia sheriff Rochelle Bilal: “No law enforcement professional wears a mask…No law enforcement professional shoots at a moving vehicle. “What Trump’s private army is doing…is not only against legal law, but moral law.” Vows to arrest agents on site who commit crimes.

DHS was created to FIGHT terrorists, not to BE terrorists. It needs to be defunded by congress in 2027, and we should select candidates who run on that platform.

Every one of these masked, cowardly thugs, including Bovino, belongs in prison.

Over the past ten years in combat arms, women have proven themselves over and over again: meeting the exact same standards as the men. taskandpurpose.com/news/women-r...

So proud of these amazing service members, including Army Sr NCO @schmidcathrine.us! The best of us. Honored to be there.

Disobeying a federal officer, no matter how illegal his actions are, is a capital offense? No judge, no jury, just execution? People who swore oaths to the Constitution aren’t just violating them, they’re signing up for the Gestapo.

Honored to be at this extraordinary event, honoring brave trans service members leaving the military involuntarily. Their departure leaves our military weaker.

This is a good thread - these agencies, thrown together after 9/11, have never been a good fit - and some have gotten much worse since then. Break them up and implement much-needed reforms.
