You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.

No matter how you slice it, ICE’s actions are the preeminent kitchen-table problem for everyone, whether you are balancing your books or sheltering your family from their latest campaign of brutality. trib.al/eMVWOkW

As we bear witness to what is happening in Minneapolis, remember that those who are documenting it -- citizens and journalists alike -- are showing true bravery and moral courage. This documentation will matter one day, mark my words. asharangappa.substack.com/p/the-power-...

The fact that they still feel comfortable lying like this when there are at least 3 videos directly contradicting it is insane.

Immigration is a fake problem. We have politicians on the one hand who want to use immigrants as scapegoats for our real ones and politicians on the other who are too cowardly to stand against them and tell the truth. That is the entire situation. Until that changes, people will continue to die.

ICE has now carried out two summary executions of innocent people in the streets of an American city. If you work for ICE, there's no denying that's the mission you're supporting now. You don't get to claim in one year or ten or twenty that you didn't know what ICE was doing. You're complicit.

Every statement made by ICE is definitionally a lie. Even parts that are true are part of a bigger lie. If ICE says pizza is delicious there is a moral duty to refuse to believe it within the context of the claim.

Presumably whoever posted "'Abolish ICE' is a losing slogan" yesterday or so has deleted it and their account by now, but if not I'll be happy to tell that person to get fucked.

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

If the US were a geopolitical rival the headlines would be like: US Secret Police Execute Second Dissident In the Streets As Militarized Occupation Enters Sixth Week

They are executing unarmed people in the streets for trying to protect their neighbors with the full support of the federal government.

this guy is a terrible liar who genuinely believes he is great at lying

there are so many gutting stories, but this one is hitting me extra hard. just imagining wael tarabishi slowly dying without his dad there to care for him because he was jailed by ICE makes me…i don’t have words. this country is disgusting.

THEY TRIED TO GET A WARRANT TO CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATE THE WOMAN THEY SHOT DEAD

they went to an emergency room seeking help for their 7 year old child. ICE arrested the 7 year old and her parents. the family is here legally. www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

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

— Israel kills 3 journalists, including CBS contributor — AFP, the other impacted outlet, condemns killing & calls for investigation — CBS doesn't, instead peddles Israel's claim that they were targeting a group with "a drone affilliated with Hamas" Inside the Bari Weiss-led CBS response:

The 1488 Project

This must be weird news to see if you’re one of the literally hundreds or even thousands of university administrators who preemptively censored faculty, scrubbed websites, changed the names of centers, etc.

The United States has officially withdrawn from the World Health Organization. This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.

Thanks so much for voting to send Americans' hard-earned tax dollars to the agency that is currently in the streets of American cities terrorizing, kidnapping, assaulting and murdering us. I'm sure everyone appreciates your investment in the fascist brute squad. Great work.

Nekima Levy Armstrong is a hero—not a goddamn criminal.

One day, if we are lucky, the erasure of American history will itself be remembered as a shameful chapter in American history

To be fair the average five-year-old probably presents a threat to Greg Bovino

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.

Hakeem Jeffries deserves to be unemployed.

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.

Paige Bueckers (Dallas Wings, Breeze FC) is donating $50,000 to relief efforts organised in response to ICE raids in her hometown of Hopkins, Minnesota. On Monday Bueckers won $50,000 in the #Unrivaled free throw competition after successfully scoring 13 free throws. (Source @brwsports)

Hi everyone -- there is a general strike in Minnesota tomorrow to protest what the Trump administration and DHS are doing to our community. In solidarity with the action, I am going to donate my revenue from tmrw's newsletter to People over Papers, the Midway-Hamline Diaper Bank, & Every Meal. (1/2)

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Democrats Condemn ICE For Murdering Without Proper Warrants https://theonion.com/democrats-condemn-ice-for-murdering-without-proper-warrants/

Christ just look at it

Well, this is really something. A majority of *working class whites* disapprove of ICE, per new NYT poll. Dovetails with the unpublished data that I got from Quinnipiac finding similar on working class more broadly (see below). (cc @gelliottmorris.com )

And to be perfectly clear, had these seven Dems voted no (and Massie stayed no), it would have gone down 213-214.

BREAKING: When ICE agents dragged out ChongLy Thao half-naked in the snow, they were looking for a man named Lue Moua. He was already in prison. bit.ly/3ZwwVjK

law enforcement is investigating, arresting, and targeting Ds in office. the D party is literally being criminalized before our eyes, and they still won't stop kissing cop ass.

it does feel fundamentally dysfunctional, right, to beg lawmakers to use the law to force law enforcement to obey the law

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

Good lord. Yes, staggeringly illegal in more ways than one, but we owe whomever leaked it a huge debt of gratitude. Strengthens the litigation challenging this already ongoing. Strengthens the resolve of resisters. Makes plain for every member of Congress that ending this is a job for policymakers.

KEEP CALLING YOUR REPS

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

I keep seeing posts stating that ICE cannot enter your home or a private business without a judicial warrant. While that is legally correct, in reality ICE routinely violates the law by forcing their way in, often by smashing down doors, before violently assaulting people. Trumpism is fascism.

This is what you do when you’re running death camps

Im not interested in reform. Im not interested in better training. ICE has shown they are not a public good or interested in protecting American citizens. Any politician suggesting a softer approach is incompetent and doesnt deserve your vote. And that includes Gavin Newsom.

Our allies are telling us: Stage an intervention before Trump drives us off a cliff for good. We should heed their warning.

This is the right take morally and politically. If your Dem rep or senator has said something along these lines, shower praise on them! If they haven't taken a stance, you should be pissed, and let them know that too. And if they're up for reelection in a safe seat in a competitive primary, well...
