Hey Twin Cities - today our governor and both mayors announced that HSI - the feds - have over 400 agents in town for a two week push starting tomorrow. Christmas Eve. If Christ hadn't risen he'd be rolling in his fucking grave.

If you’re looking for resources on where to go, here is the burrito map we crowd sourced earlier this year! Not all businesses are immigrant owned, but you should get some good ideas! www.google.com/maps/d/edit?...

Just a reminder for Xmas Eve eve, it’s a great time find your closest immigrant-owned business and support them. Get a meal tonight from a restaurant if you can. Commit to buying grocery staples at an immigrant-owned market once a week. Do what you can to help people keep their heads above water.

This week we started a public access collection of Free Community Defense & Anti ICE Art for free distribution. Please contribute & spread the word! Much gratitude to this anonymous artist for their incredible work. See the collection so far at defend612.com/art, along with submission guidelines.

This Christmas we are living through a fascists invasion of our communities and ethnic cleansing. How do you recover from the emotional devastation of messages like the one below? 10/10 recommend taking action and joining with your friends and neighbors in resisting this terror. ❤️

It’s not Minnesota Nice anymore, it’s Minnesota NoICE! Art by me, please share, thx <3

People are rightly disgusted by this speech, but it’s a measure of fascism’s normalization that many see this as more of the awful same rather than what I think most of us who’ve been reporting this beat hear it as: a significant calculated escalation. Full alert stuff.

It's Day 19 of the ICE occupation of MSP. Today thousands of Minnesotans poured onto Lake Street to rally in support of our immigrant neighbors and against ICE. Take a moment to look at this crowd of you and your neighbors rallying in below zero windchill. 📸 @roblevine82.bsky.social

Send us your art submissions to make available to the public. Let’s cover our city in visuals of solidarity w/ our immigrant neighbors & make it clear that we protect one another. More info & graphic guidelines at defend612.com/callforart/ Art here from Just Seeds, Roger Peet & Carlos Barberena

There's never been a better time to do this ICE WATCH/ Community Defense training than TODAY (Friday) at 2pm tinyurl.com/y7arm8t9 Because 🚨‼️ICE is not slowing down, there is enough information from multiple sources that tell us they intend to AT LEAST DOUBLE their operations... (cont)

ICE agents at the hotel bar in Edina Monday night.

This tracks with my experience. DHS made up stories like this in Chicago, too. Every story ICE told about being attacked by community members was debunked in court. To assume anything they say is even potentially credible is irresponsible and out of touch with reality.

You may need the healing that comes from stepping up and taking action with community. Multiple people have been abducted in my neighborhood. A block from my house, someone was pulled from their car, which was left running in the street. We're also stopping abductions every day, and it matters.

🧵 from @defendthe612.bsky.social : 🚫🧊📰💪612 ICE-OUT News -- Dec 16 (Please Share!) 🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝 Minneapolis is two weeks into an unprecedented federal occupation of our communities and streets, and we've been hit hard with abductions and raids. 1/15

In this ongoing occupation of Minneapolis, Defend the 612 is committed to uplifting and supporting city-wide coordination between autonomous neighborhood response groups that are rising up to resist the abductions, kidnapping and deportation of our neighbors. (1/4) Learn more at defend612.com

Fuck these fucking fascists. 😡😡😡

Fantastic ICE WATCH training this Friday over zoom at 2pm Central time. You can register here: zoom.us/webinar/regi... I highly recommend it!

I wonder what Moo Deng thinks about (waves arms around) all of this

Add, remove, or change a letter for your favorite sitcom to get rebooted in 2026 with an entirely different premise. Chers (Could be part of the Orphan Black extended universe)

Outnumbering your enemy is not enough. *Strength* in numbers requires a shared sense of purpose. That must be cultivated. Understanding and relationships must be built. This is the work most people don't want to do. To turn moments into lasting movements, we need organization.

MINNEAPOLIS: This week is already intense. Abductions continue daily. Community continues to mobilize, monitor, interrupt and organize against these masked gestapo invaders. So many ways to get involved - Do you need help connecting with a group in your area? My DMs are open! All hands on deck.

It’s day 12 of the ICE occupation of MSP. Cold weather this weekend is leading to new and dangerous ICE encounters, especially when people are outside for an extended period.

Minneapolis stays in a rebellion ✊🏼

It's clear from the article that ICE is *miserable* here. They're freezing their asses off and being harassed everywhere they go. Property managers aren't allowing them access to rental properties and people know their rights and aren't letting them in. KEEP IT UP.

Great ICE WATCH training is tonight 6:00pm - 7:30pm Excellent intro to important skills and tools for people who want to get involved in Minneapolis. Let's fight these Nazis together and kick them out of our communities! Register here: zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Minneapolis is activated in our typical, chaotic, magical way to protect our neighbors from being abducted by a swarm of invading ICE nazis. It's not enough, but it's something, and it's growing. FUCK ICE.

Great work out there today, Minneapolis! You ran those Nazi ICE kidnappers back to their base and out to the suburbs with a line of cars honking at them the whole way.

It was another rough day in Minneapolis, but people were able to do some great work protecting each other from these Nazi kidnappers. A lot of inspiring work happening around the city - I hope you are able to plug in and get involved.

Brutal day in Minneapolis, but there were some shining moments of neighbors stopping some abductions, kicking Nazis out of some spaces, chasing them out of others. And there were about 1,000 ppl on an excellent ICE WATCH training zoom led by States At The Center and Protect Rogers Park in Chicago.

Okay, Minneapolis. I absolutely support a diversity of tactics, but I don't see how leaving our streets unplowed, driving in two lanes at once, or refusing to take the right of way when it is yours will help stop fascism. Also, a lack of visible street signs is meaningless now that everyone has GPS.

Southside, we outside (the rules of decorum)!

It was almost 6 years from when Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany (January 1933) before Kristallnacht (November 1938).

What a fucking piece of shit.

It's wild, but whistles that cost less than a dollar have been an effective tool in Chicago and other places for alerting people to the presence of ICE/Nazis. Want to help distribute, purchase or 3-D print whistles in Minneapolis? Here's the info you need!

At least one attempted abduction was stopped this morning my neighbors with whistles. Remember: form a crowd, stay loud. Call Monarca to report verified ice sightings.

Also: if you see local cops (MPD, Hennepin County) on the scene, pls document

To anyone just tuning in: ICE / La Migra / Nazis / Kidnappers are very active in South Minneapolis yesterday and today. Follow them and honk. Blow Whistles. Get and share vehicle descriptions and plate numbers/states. Talk with your neighbors.

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Weird to me how many parents make plans involving their kids with no thought to mealtimes or food. I'm not going to meet you for an activity from 11:00am - 1:00pm in a place I've never been to before because I will have a meltdown if I miss lunch! I guess other people and their kids don't eat?

Minnesota came out sideways, and Uncle Sam didn’t even scream.

There are two good superhero movies, and this is one of them.

Happy “Explaining the difference between email and Facebook and text message” day to all who observe.
