Have had the unfortunate experience of watching broadcast all day. Insanity inducing to watch the coverage of last night ("they threw water bottles!"). Heavily armed men attacked an entire neighborhood. People only smashed cars *after* feds had left the area and poisoned blocks of family homes.

Demonstrators apparently retrieved from the cars belonging to ICE these "challenge coins" that ICE mercenaries receive when they carry out arrests. This one is decorated with a skull wearing a crown. ICE mercenaries serve king death. They are evil incarnate.

At 25th and Lyndale Ave N., Minneapolis, the very residential scene where an ICE agent shot and wounded a man last night. Smells strongly of tear gas. I started coughing as soon as I got here. Police tape everywhere. A CS gas canister and smashed computer on the ground.

That story: religionnews.com/2026/01/14/i...

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.

Flashbangs burn hotter then lava. They've caused serious burns, severed hands, and even killed. *That's* what ICE just tossed into a car full of kids. Here's our investigation from 2015, by @juliaangwin.com: www.propublica.org/article/flas...

Another common thread between Chicago and Minneapolis enduring these occupations:

Another thing you should know about the Twin Cities, if you're not here, is that while the mayor and governor tell us to stay calm on TV, our council members and other local electeds are on the street patrolling and protecting neighbors, doing mutual aid, and otherwise serving the community.

In Louisiana, a man drowned being chased by ICE agents. www.nola.com/news/crime_p...

They (the feds) are not stopping:

St. Paul Public Schools said today that two vans operating under contract to carry students and staff have been pulled over by federal agents while enroute to school this week.

I sincerely will never forget the first time I saw “clash between police and protesters,” after watching law abiding people, who’d followed every direction given, attacked with tear gas and violence. Then watched fry cooks and student teachers called “paid agitators.”

At a weekly public safety meeting, residents raised fears that a Saturday march led by conservative influencer Jake Lang could result in Somali residents being harassed on the street.

Minneapolis Parks and Recreation has canceled youth sports because ICE is terrorizing our community

Today at the Whipple Federal Building in Minnesota while federal agents rushed the protest crowd, one agent is filmed pushing a protester and slipping on ICE. Another agent has his pepperball gun broken and he slips on the cartridge holder while dropping pepperballs all over.

How many more people are they going to shoot before the end of the week

Minutes ago, a person wearing a federal badge pointed what looks like a gun at protesters outside of the Whipple Federal Building near Minneapolis. The car the person is in then accelerates away from the protesters.

“Huge internal concern” among CBS staff over that “internal bleeding” story. www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

Jesus. www.startribune.com/ice-raids-mi...

One time a car was near me and I got scared and that caused internal bleeding. So it’s plausible.

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

A great article on overpass visibility events - hyperlocal, highly visible and very effective. As a member of the Overpass Brigade in Wakefield RI, I see the importance of our reliable presence on the overpass. We keep resistance on top of people’s minds. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The New York Times analyzed the videos of Renee Nicole Good’s shooting from three different angles. The analysis contradicts the lies spread by Vance, Trump, and Noem. #Minneapolis #ICE

General Hertling describes the difficulties and challenges of managing the situation in Venezuela after the removal of Maduro. @markhertling.bsky.social

General Hertling: “Is it truly just taking away Maduro from his government or is it really entering the nation of Venezuela, probably without a whole lot of support after you just bombed it, trying to get oil resources.” @markhertling.bsky.social

#ICE #Gestapo #Trump #KristiNoem #StephenMiller End this bullshit. Now.

NPR just referred to the Trump regime’s “willingness to push the boundaries of the law.” Trump keeps breaking laws, and the media keep saying he’s *almost* breaking laws.

I’m one of the ProPublica reporters who has been documenting the aggressive tactics federal agents are using against immigrants & U.S. citizens All eyes are on Minnesota right now, but I want to tell you about Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-YO citizen in Houston who was choked by immigration agents in October

The Trump administration has been dealt its first legal setback in its unprecedented effort to consolidate voter data traditionally held by states. n.pr/3LMhCAo

Tom Nichols about Trump being an aspiring fascist: “Donald Trump is saying really terrifyingly fascist things about taking over other countries and owning them, and anyone who disagrees with him is his enemy. And I think that’s starting to break through.” @radiofreetom.bsky.social

The IRS is effectively unable to audit private equity, venture capital, and real estate investment firms. Thousands of workers have been fired from the agency since DOGE and the world's richest man took an ax to it. Now audits of these giant enterprises have dropped 80 or 90%.

This was the point of DOGE all along.

The op-ed you hoped you'd never read in your lifetime

Are you prepared to defend this constitutional republic? Our founders would be revolting against these armed thugs. We are prepared to fight fire with fire to save this thing. #Freedom #Defend

Elizer Darris, Co-Executive Director of the MN Freedom Fund shared this message during a press conference at the government center.

Horrific: @washingtonpost.com reports the El Paso County medical examiner is expected to classify the death of Geraldo Lunas Campos in ICE custody as a homicide after a detainee says he witnessed guards choke him to death. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

😱

ICE in Minnesota is reminiscent of the firehoses used during the Civil Rights era. Images are compelling evidence that words can't compete with

What a scumbag.

An immigration enforcement service is necessary, and there will always be support for it. Support for how it's currently conducted is bleeding fast. It is not the same as abolition. You effectively and politically accomplish abolition by starving the current service. Then you start again.

Naaaaaaailed it

Relevant question. The answer is, "Bet your ass!"

I made this video so we can talk about what ICE is actually doing in our cities. I have the details and you need to hear them. Please share this. ICE isn't targeting criminals or even people here illegally. They are just making up the law - every day. Here's what's going on.
