"Thousands of Minnesotans have been trained over the past year as legal observers and have taken part in lengthy role-playing exercises where they rehearse scenes exactly like the one I witnessed."

"... it looked to be a caricature of our national divide: On one side, militarized men demanded respect at the butt of a gun; on the other, angry protesters screamed for justice. But behind the violence in Minneapolis is a different reality: a meticulous urban choreography of civic protest."

"The six-car ICE convoy came to a stop and instantly dozens of people swarmed it, cellphones in hand, while others ran out of nearby houses—I saw a woman in gym shorts in the 20-degree weather—and began surrounding the masked and heavily armed agents who had spilled out of their black SUVs."

My sister-in-law's dad died last week, in hospice in the VA hospital in Minneapolis. I just learned Alex Pretti was part of his care team. They shot Alex less than 1/2 mile from my niece's house while doing the same observation work that my niece is doing. These are real people. Step up folks!

I hope this works for everyone; I'm not sure how to link this video clip from TicToc directly. I think it is well worth seeing who is fueling the resistance to ICE in Minnesota. A shout-out to old white Minnesota women! www.facebook.com/share/v/1DJh...

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

The irony of ICE detaining and disappearing the original Americans should stop everyone cold. As a Lakota proverb says, when you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. This system isn’t broken. It’s dead.

I hope there are enough lawmakers who love our country enough to oust this president who lacks the interest & ability to meet America’s needs. Clearly he has a level of dementia. He is now obsessed beyond reason with getting a Nobel Peace Prize. Impeach before he destroys everything everywhere

The Trump administration has repeatedly claimed that it needs to send the military into American cities because of the unique danger faced by federal agents. But, according to ICE's own data, the leading cause of death for agents is COVID-19. You can read the full report here: tinyurl.com/mwc85xf5

According to the MAGA crowd, you aren’t supposed to protest. You aren’t supposed to “yell at” or “challenge” the militarized federal agents occupying your city. And anyone who wants to be “protected” should probably just stay “in their homes.”
