Sadly, ICE learned what not to do in Minnesota… they have not left… but are spreading out in disguise tricking and nabbing people before we can respond. We need a new plan….

A happy #caturday indeed. Half way through FIP treatment. I wasn’t sure this guy would still be here with me today six weeks ago.

True story

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Honestly, fuck the NYT. They have sucked for so long, and been such enablers…

in a text string after the shooting, a fellow agent told Exum he's a "legend" "Beers on me"

So great to see my schools meals for all ally Sen.-elect @ebpforva.bsky.social earn election to represent the 39th District tonight! She’ll be a policy-focused, workhorse addition to Virginia Senate Democratic Caucus. Congratulations to EBP and Del.-elect @kirkmcpike.bsky.social on their victories!

This is sickening.

HOOOOOO boy. Rep. LaMonica McIver (D-N.J.): "Do you consider yourself a religious man?" Lyons: "Yes ma'am." McIver: "How do you think Judgement Day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?" "Do you think you're going to hell, Mr. Lyons?"

I am regularly asked what specifically blue states and Congress should do to protect the midterm elections. Here you go, I list and explain them one by one. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

Omg. My time has come. I can’t figure out if this is a curse or a blessing.

Wishing former Capitol police officer Harry Dunn the best in his run for Congress. If anyone deserves to win, it's him. time.com/7368907/harr...

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

Really proud of New Mexico! www.koat.com/article/immi...

For those keeping score at home:

"Canada cannot claim to defend human rights while exporting armoured vehicles that will be used to terrorize communities”: @greenpeaceca.bsky.social calls on MPs to halt export of armoured vehicles to U.S. immigration agency ICE www.greenpeace.org/canada/en/pr...

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Geraldo Campos was begging for his asthma medication the day he was killed in an ICE camp. Imagine having to beg for basic medical care and life saving drugs? That’s the reality for detainees. DHS has been trying to deport the witnesses after Campos’s death was ruled a homicide

“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.” newrepublic.com/article/2057...

Abolish ICE. No one is illegal.

Something to keep in mind about Minnesotans protesting unarmed with guns being pointed at them is that they more or less ALL have access to a gun, but are choosing not to bring one. Bravery isn't holding a gun. Bravery is standing up to other people holding a gun.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

TONIGHT: Join the mass call on documenting and recording law enforcement encounters. We’ll discuss how you can keep taking action as federal agents terrorize our communities. Using our constitutional right to document and record ICE & CBP is more important than ever: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

"Why is it so normal for law enforcement — those who are supposed to be keepers of law and order — to kill Americans? And why is the only question at the end of the day how much their victims deserved to die?" Read more from @sarahjeong.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/policy/86745...

No one is safe under authoritarianism.

No one is safe under authoritarianism.

JUST IN: In a new lawsuit, Minnesota officials say DHS mishandled evidence from today's crime scene and made "astonishing" law enforcement decisions. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hey all, we are looking at a very serious weather event this weekend. As it unfolds, post updates on how things are where you are located and images, too. We may be able to document the impact of crippling NOAA and FEMA. Stay safe #WinterStormFern CC: @rebelfema.altgov.info @roguefema.altgov.info

“Heartbroken but also very angry… sickening lies by the administration… reprehensible and disgusting… Alex is clearly not holding a gun… please get the truth out about our son, he was a good man…”

Marimar Martinez was the first US citizen shot by ICE. They claimed she was a terrorist. Said she was brandishing a weapon. They lied. Video footage exonerated her and showed the ICE agent shot her five times. He bragged to other agents “five shots, 7 holes”. A 🧵 of ICE abuse

“Freedom is not free. We have to work at it. Nurture it. Protect it. Even sacrifice for it.”

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Notably, that’s not exactly what he said. He said he wouldn’t do it WHILE “this administration continues. these violent federal takeovers of our cities.” Good star. That is not enough.

We can all see with our own eyes what ICE is doing to our neighbors. It’s time for the Senate to step up and do the right thing. Stop this violence.

Rep. @aoc.bsky.social : “ICE is attacking 🇺🇸 citizens, kidnapping 5-year-olds and using them as bait to open doors, and violating constitutional rights by busting into their doors… They deserve to be defunded." (H/T @meidastouch.com )

Ben Damberg protest volunteer: “None of us want to be doing this — I don’t, but we simply cannot stand by as other Minnesotans are being hurt — we will march, we will protest, & we will do it all peacefully above all else”

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

This is such an important point. This family tried to follow the rules. The distinction is going to get more important when they start mass deporting the people whose TPS status Trump revoked. They’ll call them “illegal” too, even though they were here legally until Trump yanked the rug.

It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

What are you going to do when state violence escalates in our community? How do we stand in solidarity with targeted communities? We CAN prepare together to meet this moment with rapid mass mobilization, political pressure, and community care. Join us TOMORROW JAN 24 to learn more.

Please help us bring Liam Adrian Cornejo Ramos (he’s only 5 years of age and is currently in pre-K. Yesterday, he and his father were kidnapped by ICE. This will help the family with legal services to help reunite Liam and his dad with their family. gofund.me/be8a1b2ab

JFC 👀

We had a full house at Today’s People’s Activist Series, and we learned a helpful song.

Called and left messages for both of my Dem Senators opposing any funding for ICE. WTF is wrong with our Dem leadership? Do they think voters will vote for them in the midterms after this? Because people are getting jaded. Apathy is coming if they won’t fight.

next reporter who interviews stephen miller should ask him point blank if his goal in minneapolis is to kill more americans

Now that we’re all about “complying with the law” re Minnesota, does that extend to complying with the law re Epstein files?

i’ll say it again, jennings is a contemptible liar and it is a disgrace that CNN puts him on television every night to spread bullshit
