In my opinion these people are the real heroes of the resistance to ICE. There’s no credit, no one can talk about their work (because they directly contact vulnerable families). It’s expensive and dreary and neverending. ICE follows them around. But they refuse to abandon their neighbors

Being a Stancil Hater is not only a huge red flag, it somehow manages to make you even more annoying than him. Don’t be that guy.

Kiwi Farms has a thousand pages thread dedicated to stalking and hating will Stancil. You people are in good company. And then there’s this fucking guy:

This is brilliant. I'm so grateful for this testimony. I've transcribed it to use in letters I'm writing. Sharing the full transcription here (see alt text to copy/paste it):

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.

This is what one afternoon drop looks like for one (1) Minneapolis mutual aid distributor (read: random mom who wants to help families at her kids’ schools)

Baron von Steuben after spending some time in the present: So I can have all the gay sex I want and they'll throw me a parade for it? Me: Well that's not exactly what Pride is about, but that reminds me you really should use protection because HEY GET BACK HERE!!!

This is, not coincidentally, very much akin to how Hitler’s government worked. They very often overlapped in extremely counterproductive ways, just as with Trump and co.

to be clear, because I’m seeing a lot of False Lore about this, I was walking around filming ICE and police lines for an hour when I happened through this scene. the “filming faces” is the video you’re watching, not something earlier. guy just saw the phone up and freaked.

You do not — and I’m not sure that it is possible to — hate these people enough.

“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Wait wait wait, this "drawdown" is because sheriffs agreed to break state law to help DHS with nazi crimes on the stipulation their legal costs are covered when people rightly say hey fucko thats illegal? This isn't a drawdown, it is just replacing some DHS goons with regular cops

There's a weird amount of Newsom glazing that comes from people who are unfamiliar with California politics and I can assure you that a hypothetical President Newsom would be the American Keir Starmer

Alex Pretti wasn't killed by rhetoric, he was killed by two masked CBP agents shooting him 10 times in the back after they had disarmed and pepper sprayed him. Rhetoric didn't kill Renee Good either, a thug from ICE did that with a gun as she tried to avoid hurting him.

NEW: The DHS arrest records make no mention of the Tren de Aragua gang even though officials repeatedly cited its presence in the building as motivation for the raid, in which agents descended from a Blackhawk helicopter and zip-tied U.S. citizens.

Governor Pritzker the people cry out for progressive-funded media.

We have enough evidence for UBI in general that this policy should be a given. But the difference is, to understand UBI works is to believe that people are fundamentally good. And a big chunk of society is built around the belief, *must maintain the belief* that people are fundamentally bad.

these people are evil. There is no other explanation or reason. They are fundamentally evil. You cannot negotiate with evil.

"Murray acknowledged that the Post has struggled to reach “customers” and talked about the competitive media marketplace." they fired all of their black columnists, turned the Op/Ed section into corporatist agitprop, and infected the journalism with anti-woke cack. "Why we aren't making money?"

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

i keep seeing "protestors" referred to again and again in ICE coverage and I wish the media would understand that is right-wing framing and just call them what they actually are which is *residents*

As someone with a profound but unrepentant emdash addiction it is driving me mad seeing commenters yell “AI slop!!!” whenever there is even a single — anywhere in the copy.

I just got off the phone with Elizabeth's dad...she and her mom were freed tonight! Updated story: sahanjournal.com/education/co...

“What am I? Chopped liver?”

ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.

A manager for the Immigrant Defense Network told MPR News that back in November, 2,500 people were trained as constitutional observers. Now, the total is nearly 30,000 trained observers in 77 of Minnesota's 87 counties.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

We’re literally killing ourselves. They’ve been working on cutting edge cancer vaccines

Trans athletes may not have fitness advantage in women’s sport, landmark study finds

New in PN: Inside the resistance with @whstancil.bsky.social "They seem to have thought they could come in here with big guns and intimidate everyone, then we would all just sort of run away. That didn’t happen. Ultimately, I don’t see a way out for them that isn’t some kind of defeat or retreat."

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

Of note: 1) The anti-ICE contingent in Minneapolis are not protestors, which automatically biases polling 2) Even with that caveat, the people in Minneapolis are polling well because they are steadfastly engaging in constitutionally protected speech 3) The arson crew is an enemy of this movement

The entire reason the actions in MN are coming out as a victory for the people is that "normie moms" are involved and predominate in the movement.

Remember the incident where DHS claimed officers shot a guy because he attacked them with a snow shovel? Yeah. It didn't happen. They shot him through the door of his own home. And then arrested him. And then lied about it. Again. And they almost shot some kids in the process.

“One young girl who kept coming up to me, a little girl who was hugging my leg, asking us to help get her out of there.” - Rep. Joaquin Castro

The Gestapo did not copy slave catchers. That’s not a thing that happened.

Seeing all the “professional” activists go after Stancil is negatively polarizing me into a stance that Minnesota is winning because it’s normal people rising to the occasion and pushing a lot of activist nonsense out of the way by doing it

Please let Stancil back into the Signal chats so he can spend his time annoying ICE and not posting.

Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever. Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."

There is no rea; opsec for anyone who chooses to speak out against these people. There's only building a mass politics so you can have the faith to know others will be making demands for you if you have the courage to speak out. That's the state of our world as it exists.

Three rules in FBI firearm training: 1. Always point your weapon downrange 2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot 3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

Buried lede: he realizes that it is absolutely impossible to achieve mass deportation if that process is required, which it constitutionally is.

So like, she definitely visited the island, right?

This, if true, is a huge fucking problem and the Opsec Freaks need to piss off back to the holes they crawled out of. I cannot think of a worse response for the movement than locking down previously-open networks out of fear.

Agent: These guys were all threatening us yesterday with hand guns. ... Agent: *Hand* guns, like threatening to shoot us. Reporter: You mean like with hand symbols? A: Pulling them out, trying to engage us. R: Pulling out literal guns? A: No. Making... assuming we were going to do something.

Not to put too fine a point on it but the protests in 2020 fundamentally failed to achieve their objectives. Police funding went up, they kept on killing at will, there wasn’t even the barest of reform. Why should anyone listen to the people involved in organising them about what works?

Beginning to think this “violence is required as part of a nonviolent protest movement” schtick is just an excuse for assholes to set things on fire

This is incredibly clearly an op and while I should be flabbergasted anyone in “activist” circles is repeating it I’m also deeply unsurprised. This honestly feels kin to the Opsec Bullshit Stancil’s been coming up against. There’s something rotten in US activism.

Putting on my suit and tie and going on America Erwache to describe a 234 year old basic requirement of the constitution for lawful searches and seizures as a “nonstarter.”
