@slindivisible.bsky.social 1-30 2:30 pm of ICE OUT rally at City County Building. Live. Many cars have slowed on State Street and are honking their horns. The rally cheers are easily heard from the fifth floor of the Matheson Courthouse from where these photos were taken.

@slindivisible.bsky.social Why ICE surges in Minneapolis,  LA and Chicago and not Houston, Miami and Mesa,  AZ? Minnesota has one of lower percentages of unauthorized immigrant populations in the US? ICE is a _political targeting_ operation. See also charts in comments. youtu.be/L_DWKIugWvY

@slindivisible.bsky.social 1-25-2026. State St march: My personal est. crowd size: Down State Street covered 2 south bound lanes, the crowd about 2.2 blocks long. SLC block = 660ft; 1/2 the st width = 66ft. 13 to 15 marchers per row at 4ft wide. The math is: 2.2*13*660/4=4,719. At 15ppl->5,445.

@slindivisible.bsky.social An inspiring interview with Dr. Maria J. Stephan on the current role of non-violent protest. Together with Erica Chenoweth, Stephan wrote the 2011 book Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Nonviolent Conflict.  youtu.be/N7MgLMzsnmE

@slindivisible.bsky.social A nice video from Minnesota on neigborhood ICE watch efforts. Upbeat. A good example if ICE activity heats up in Utah. youtu.be/cXhVWMKQPjQ?...

My poster expresses my existential despair about, over time, how humanity has the propensity for cruelt. Governments, if given the police power to kill, misuse it. Featured are major historical examples of the misuse of that power, and ends with the death of Renee Good. @slindivisible.bsky.social
