It already is consistent with other law enforcement agencies, this is the problem

This poll shows that 74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting getting rid of the agency. Any elected Democrat who wants ICE to exist is outside the mainstream of their party and the people they purport to represent.

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003 when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

I was desperate for some organization, so I put together a list of places you can donate or buy things for to support folks in Minnesota. If you have places for me to add, please DM me.

Advice for comms teams of MN elected officials is unless you're announcing a big move to change things, or directing people to ways they can support each other, you should otherwise just hold off on any "I'm saddened & outraged!" posts/emails. They maddeningly ring hollow without any action taken.

Send an email to your rep today and demand Noem's impeachment. This link will help generate an email for you: citizensimpeachment.com/impeach-noem... (It is okay if you missed our 9:30 a.m. send time. Send it when you can!) They are levying war on the American people. Treason. Impeachable.

this is not a party gearing up to even pare back funding, let alone abolish ICE. I cannot stress enough that it'd be cleaner and easier to just get rid of every last one of them via primary than try to figure out which is worth saving

The only people being violent right now are ICE officers. Everyone else is just telling them to fuck off and get out. If we want the violence to stop,cwe need to remove the perpetrators, which means ICE needs to be removed immediately.

Our ice is better than your ICE

Is anyone running a food drive for the federal agents? I have two gallons of spoiled milk I don’t want to waste

MPD arrested one man after he tagged several buildings on Lake Street with anti-ICE message graffiti. They used cameras to track him down. Funny how they can arrest him but not any of the armed masked agents assaulting & kidnapping citizens, breaking traffic laws. www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

i can’t overstate the simple joy i get from watching videos of ICE agents slipping and falling because their 15 minutes of training failed to teach them how to walk on ice may they all end up with fractured tailbones and lifelong back problems

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social they are murdering people in cold blood in the street. They are forcibly preventing *your* colleagues from doing the jobs inspecting ICE facilities. The appropriate time is NOW you feckless coward!

Another week of listening down. #WeeklyTunes #LastFMCollage #LastFM

Here’s a great book on the Luddites:

*Stares in Minnesotan*

We’ll get this list sorted out then make it super public. Serve ICE Gestapo at your own financial peril, friends! We will not forget.

For several years now I have been saying that Democratic voters have not directed their anger at D leaders because most voters, even engaged activists, really thought D leaders were fighting as hard as they could. And I said if and when D voters found out they’d be ANGRY. That’s what we see now.

Amy Klobuchar was on MSNOW yesterday with Jen Psaki saying “I have advocated for 🧊 reform,” refusing to say 🧊 should get out of Minnesota, and that there should be “discussion” and “reform” wrt the budget, so, yeah, call her office every damn day.

Sharing the Monarca MN website again, as shit continues to be quite real here. If you see federal activity anywhere in Minnesota, call the hotline.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

check out the contrast in congressional responses to the situation sitting right next to each other on the skyline

okay but they literally issued a statement saying the exact opposite of that, @governorwalz.mn.gov any word on that?

you're barking up the wrong tree, buddy. please tell the feds to be peaceful as they make their exodus.

If Bill Kristol is speaking with more moral authority and righteous clarity than your Senator, then maybe you need a new Senator. Shit. I know I do.

Enough people have asked so I'm doing a PREORDER- $8 per shirt sold will go to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. Abolish ICE. www.harebraineddesign.com/products/abo...

Just black bagging and assaulting anyone who vaguely seems not white 🇺🇸🦅 And @klobuchar.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com is still voting for Trump's judges and @governorwalz.mn.gov sits on his hands doing nothing If you can't rise to the moment RESIGN

The lesson Frey and Walz were supposed to learn in 2020 was that sending riot police to a peaceful protest creates a confrontation that results in some dipshit cops shooting people in the eye with a gas canister which then we have to goddamn pay for in settlements while also our city burns.

The Department of Homeland Security is one of those changes of government, a reaction to 9/11 interwoven with the militarization of American society caused by the Iraq War, that got us to this bad point. We should undo it, @joshtpm.bsky.social writes.

Immigration is good, actually. Pass it on

@governorwalz.mn.gov @ltgovflanagan.mn.gov We're an occupied State & they're trying to cut us off from social services. WHAT are you going to DO?!

Pete and Amy are really out here arguing that ICE isn’t killing people by the employee handbook when we are out here arguing ICE should not exist. They do NOT represent the will of the people.

THIS GOES SO HARD. The rad folks at BRLSQ have done it again.

Instead of meeting with community organizers who are actually confronting ICE in the streets, Klobuchar met with the cop boss and Mayor Tightpants.

Thank you for telling us you neither serve nor protect. Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. That was state murder in broad daylight, captured from multiple angles by multiple witnesses, and the people of Minneapolis have eyes. You support murder.

Hoping that we all find the peace that Evie has when she is zonked out on a chair soon. #catsky #rescuecats #thedustballs

#mpls #fuckice

if it’s not already been obvious, the federal government has declared war against its own citizens stay angry, be loud & disruptive, remain dangerous, be like water keep yourselves & yours safe, most importantly

Hoping that we all find the peace that Evie has when she is zonked out on a chair soon. #catsky #rescuecats #thedustballs

Today, today of all days, Amy Klobuchar voted to confirm a Trump appointed judge. Light up her phone lines. 202-224-3244 612-727-5220

Neko Atsume 2 updated today and gave us a new blanket goodie and I cannot express to you just how much I wish to be as cozy and unbothered as little Tabitha here is.

Yesterday an ICE agent named Jonathan Ross shot and killed Renee Nicole Good. Renee was a wife, a mother, and a resident of south Minneapolis. Anyone who kills someone in our city deserves to be arrested, investigated, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, including Jonathan Ross.

What the actual fuck @klobuchar.senate.gov @amyklobuchar.com? ICE murdered one of our neighbors in Minneapolis yesterday & continues to abduct our immigrant neighbors today & you're voting to confirm Trump nominees?

interesting! here's a video i took yesterday of federal agents ramming community members with their car

the people in minneapolis & surrounding twin cities areas who have been demonstrating & protesting (also just in general) have been showing a pretty impressive amount of restraint with everything going on right now here.

please give us some indication that you’re doing anything to resist the federal aggression as the people who live here are *not* the ones to sic the national guard upon when it gets to that point

hey @governorwalz.mn.gov & @keithellison.bsky.social we are being violently targeted & put under siege by the federal government things have remained peaceful thus far despite renee good being murdered & children across the city being terrorized in the past couple weeks alone what are you doing?

We’ve seen a number of people kidnapped this morning in NE, including 2 legal observers taken on Central. @doronclark.bsky.social & I are asking our community to patrol and get outside on our busy corridors to protect neighbors. Get connected to grassroots organizing groups at defend612.com

Thank you to councilperson @jchavezmpls.bsky.social for saying what needs to happen. Arrest the ICE agent who did this. youtu.be/GYcdizlRiAg?...
