U.S. citizen detained by ICE: “…they finally told me that they could offer undocumented family members of mine legal protection if I have any…or money, in exchange for giving them the names of protest organizers, or undocumented persons. I was shocked, and told them no.”

I wanna live to see the day where I no longer have to remember everything I know about tear gas. BAN TEAR GAS AND DESTROY THE STOCKPILES!

been thinking a lot about James Baldwin recently - from a 1970 documentary

Excellent book that provides some context to the decades-long bipartisan project to scapegoat immigrants for various problems in the U.S.

“This is another Tuskegee” is not hyperbole. good reporting from IM

There are lots of summaries of this stuff, but Matthew‘s is more clearly written than most. They’re not your lawyer (and I’m not either!) but this is a good quick guide for what to do when a goon shows up at your door.

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.

has anyone figured out a way out that isn’t through

I’ll put up prints today 🫶🏽🫶🏽

🖤 A close friend of mine died in ICE custody after being denied medical care. His name was Parady La. This was preventable. Please watch and share so his family’s story is not erased. #ICEDetention

Based on the City of Minneapolis and confirmed by a friend in the city, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been involved in another shooting in the northern part of the city, two people shot by ICE officer(s). Situation is developing, more information to come.

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country

Folks in the US still like to treat the whole Greenland invasion stuff as sufficiently unserious to engage with, but it is sufficiently serious that NATO allies are actively deploying tripwire forces to deter the US. That is *already* a political and actual cost to them, and to US relationships

The thing that really makes Minneapolis different, other than the fact that they straight up murdered someone, is that they've dropped all pretense that this is just about immigration. The state has declared war on its own people, or at least those people who live in cities.

Given what's happening in Minneapolis, I wanted to re-up this thread of writing from Chicagoans about what it felt like when the ICE/CBP terror campaign was focused on us. It seems clear that the fear is the point and they're refining and escalating as they move from place to place.

made some updates to the list. if you want to give to a gofundme, the ones in spanish are getting way less than other, and they are asking for much less

The fourth that we even know of, tbh. He was as Philadelphian. He was recovering from a fentanyl addiction. They gave him narcan instead of the care he actually needed. They killed him.

We will never, ever forget any of this senseless brutality.

"Slow down to fuck over ICE" is actually an anti-speeding message that may resonate with drivers

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

late to the discount code, but this is going to be incredible:

He's the only one who has had the right tone all the way through and took decisive action to go to El Salvador to check on his constituent. The *moderates* and loser white bros commentators were saying that Democrats should 'steer clear.'

"The baby was released to her family. Her grandmother says she had a bruised cheek, but is otherwise OK." A 1 yo with a bruised cheek is NOT ok. Not because she's incapable of giving herself that bruise, but because she was alone with amoral strangers and has no way of communicating her experience.

if you’re online to shit all over the Bari Weiss era at CBS News, stay online.

Pride Fest is underway!

We are afraid the fascists will kill us. Fascists are afraid that we will laugh at them.

Reminder that these kind of door-to-door “general warrants” are both explicitly illegal and also a major trigger for the American Revolution.

I need my out of Minnesota folks to understand this a full on occupation. ICE presence is already double the local police force and growing. By comparison, the Twin Cities Metro is 2.7 million to New York's 20 million or LA's 13 million. The news doesn't begin to encapsulate it.

500 likes and I'll call into work tomorrow and get day drunk and play video games all day

A favorite sign from today's NYC protest march

For the record, we saw this shit early in romance, too. There’s a reason @devinharnois.bsky.social had to make a button saying something like “M/M is for gay men, too.”

If your head coach can only produce when he’s got two head coach-level coordinators calling the offense and defense do you actually have a head coach or is there just a guy standing around on your sideline every Sunday?

we have been way too tolerant of cowards: we should be demanding that far more people in power who claim to be against the murderous evil of MAGA meet the standard currently being demonstrated by Jerome Fucking Powell

the DSA, the Federal Reserve, and the ladies who lunch have formed a popular front — it remains only to see if any elected Democrats will join them.

Release the Patullo Files.

This should horrify everyone. Rounding people up door to door should be familiar from history.

Intensely embarrassing shit. Democrats are absolutely winding up to increase ICE funding but say it’s okay because they’re gonna get more training. Just more training bro. That’s gonna solve all the problems with the white nationalist paramilitary being aimed at blue cities bro.

The guy who shot and killed Good is one of the trainers. With over 10 years of law enforcement experience, SWAT experience, and a NG tour in Iraq. When I’m talking training, I’m doing it to show people that these are terrible officers by comparison to national standards. Training won’t fix this

i understand this is a debate of optics and narrative, and the "perfect" victim is rhetorically valuable. i just think if you're disappearing people into torture camps you don't get to go on tv and talk about being so so scared 🥺

actually if you watch frame by frame she turns the wheel away-- idc!! idc idc!!! none of this would've happened if there weren't federal goon squads attacking our neighbors! why is it my job to forensically prove the perfect compliance & nonviolence of someone responding to state violence!

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

sharing this important graphic from mpls artist landon sheely

A lot of people’s problems with injustice and cruelty is that they don’t like being aware of it and would do anything to go back to pretending that nothing is wrong

good God

Awful scenes in Tehran. Ironically, “On Friday, the US repeated that [the government] killing protesters would be met with a military response” — whereas in Minneapolis it’s the Trump administration shooting and killing protesters
