50k PEOPLE COULD WALK THROUGH WHIPPLE.

Do not accept from anyone at any time that these unarmed legal observers were doing ANYTHING outside of what is RIGHT.

This is how cowards respond when you are winning.

What I am saying always holds true about increasing violence budgets for the sake of further professionalizing violence, but here, the implication that reform is possible is epically (and tragically) comical.

Yesterday, Minneapolis gave us hope. That’s what they’re trying to kill: the will of a people who are willing to fight them.

They use violence because it’s all they have. They are small, empty, and alone. We are ubiquitous and together. They have already lost. People are dying doing the right thing.

You did not bear the shame. You resisted. You bestowed the eternally vigilant symbol of change by sacrificing your impassioned lives for freedom, justice and honour. — The German Resistance Memorial in Berlin

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

If you are talking about training today, you are a mark.

Friends. I recommend unplugging when you feel safe to breathe. Put your phone down. Slow your heart rate. This is too much.

Some impromptu barricades being assembled. More people arriving.

With no warning, feds just gassed people.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

I'm sorry for the person who was beat to death and killed. My sincere condolences to their loved ones. ICE is going to continue to kill people because the purpose of a system is what it does. It is not what it says it does or what you hope it does. Maybe USians will finally confront this truth.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but even the skies have been protesting.

Even the weather said, “you’re not going in tomorrow”

That morning, frosted like windshield on the inside, we trusted our senses. took our time. Took a left. A left. Awhile. A right. A “slow down, u turn, post up, back around the other way” We found you,

“For weeks, Democrats have pushed to require ICE agents to obtain the necessary judicial warrants ahead of any murders they plan to commit,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said in a joint statement on the current Homeland Security funding bill

Your semi-regular reminder that all social services need to be proven effective and efficient through extensive, ongoing evaluations in order to continue to be (insufficiently) funded. This standard is never applied to law enforcement activities, because they would always fail.

It doesn't matter what phase the US and Israeli governments call it, or if Trump is trotting out a “Board of Peace.” As long as the Israeli military is still killing Palestinians, there is no ceasefire.

But when I asked an organizer what they wanted to see out of press coverage, they told me they wanted people to see the beautiful things they are building here, and not just the worst stories of the worst of ICE's crimes. What people are doing here is beautiful. It's a tragic beauty, but a real one

This is a list of businesses across Minnesota that are closing tomorrow in solidarity with the economic shutdown. Huge thanks to every one of them for stepping up. If your business is also closing, drop it below.

They aren't on here yet, I think, but it's good to support the folks at CTUL as they work on this. ctul.net

In case anyone needs a little more salt to get them through the day.

Call your reps. Let them know that if they vote for ICE funding, you will not vote for them ever again. Representatives need to feel the heat. NO on ICE funding. No excuses.

Look who just endorsed the January 23 Minnesota-wide shutdown to protest the federal assault! “No work, no school, no shopping.”

BREAKING: The Greg Bovino Bitch Fund Benefiting Immigrant Rights in Minnesota has just donated $10,000 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota, an essential org working on the frontlines to protect people from ICE's terror.

It's Day 50 of the ICE occupation of MSP. Today at a presser, the head of the Border Patrol said "The groups are a bit better organized. They’ve got some excellent communications…and it makes it difficult to operate here at times.” Keep making it difficult for them. Blow those whistles!

✊🏽🤎🤘🏽

This directory of places to donate to all comes from activists on the ground, plugged into the situation. Everything is vetted, with the exception of individual GoFundMes #StandWithMinnesota

Abolish ICE. Destroy their weapons and melt down their equipment. Deny their agents, employees, and bosses all government employment for all time. Remove the agency entirely from the budget and give the money to public libraries and free health care.

Hello from Minnesota. I know a lot of out-of-state friends are looking for ways to help. If you are able, please join the strike this Friday, January 23. Please take off work if you can. Help show the country we are not alone. @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social

We really need those that work at Target Corporate , UHC, Best Buy corporate, US bank, Medtronic, Cargill, Optum, and whatever corporations that have big offices here… We really need you on Friday. Grind it all to a stop. Friday.

The people buying salt at Target? (Slowly?) Then returning it? (Slowly) I love you!

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

Instead of going to Target, Cub Foods, and Corporate chains please support small and locally owned grocery stores in cultural corridors. @elliottpayne.org, @kayforparks.bsky.social, and I heard from businesses today who are barley making it by. Some are already getting eviction letters.

Lmfao 😂 Jake Lang is experiencing the finding out phase in Minneapolis.

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

People who were actually enslaved believed that chattel slavery would end one day. I'm sorry but to me that suggests that you [who are not enslaved in 2026] can also imagine an end to the current horrors.

Somebody the other day arguing that [paraphrased] "it's important to agree with the right wing that certain of their concerns are valid, because we're losing the rhetorical battle" —no, if we're losing, it's because so-called friends keep validating fascist concerns. "We" who, motherfucker?

We tried to explain that criminalization is the fuel of fascism.
