We can't just try to mitigate the worst effects of their bad behavior. We have to take the initiative—to make it impossible for them to continue doing harm.
If you can't make it to the Twin Cities, act where you are.

Ring doorbell flyer: ICE THANKS YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION. Ring announced in October they they will partner with Flock to share data that helps them surveil, murder and kidnap people.
Get rid of your ring subscriptions and the devices. Or, if you ABSOLUTELY cannot….At least try to put clear tape over the lens to make it very blurry but still able to detect movement.
That sort of thing won’t ever be used in the wrong way. Oh wait:

Twin Cities rapid responders have set up a "filter blockade" at 34th and Cedar and are calling for volunteers and donations. This is a new tactic developing over the last week: community is allowed to pass, but ICE agents are stopped/slowed before they can terrorize our neighbors.
There's a prison revolt at a concentration camp in Texas in solidarity with Minneapolis:
Locals say ICE used tear gas as they left
An ICE vehicle appears to have crashed into a telephone pole
Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.
Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.
BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

Within a few months after that horrific tragedy, people of faith and conscience in Cleveland founded IRTF as a way to carry forward their legacy—taking action in solidarity with oppressed and marginalized communities as they struggle for peace, dignity, and justice.
We will mark the 45th anniversary of the sacrifice of four US women in El Salvador. Jean Donovan and Ursuline Sister Dorothy Kazel (from Cleveland) brutally killed alongside Maryknoll Sisters Ita Ford and Maura Clarke by US-trained and funded military in El Salvador.
The 4th year of the “State of Exception,” has led to more than 400 deaths among the 90k+ incarcerated in a massive arrest sweep by police+military, which includes the indefinite detention of political dissidents. El Salvador now has the highest incarceration rate in the world, even more than the US.
Sebastián Torogós will talk about the incredible challenges facing the people of El Salvador and the connection to their collective memory of the war years of the 1970s and ‘80s. The country is experiencing its most severe threats to democracy since the civil war ended in 1992.

The situation in Gaza is dire. People of all walks of life, including my constituent Philip Tottenham have come together to deliver humanitarian aid. After being intercepted by the Israeli government, it's imperative all are safe, treated humanely, and released promptly. Aid must reach Gaza.
Tort's mother, Belkis, is trying to raise money for two families in Venezuela. They are struggling to get by and desperately need medications. If you are able to help, any amount will make a difference. Her goal is to raise $500.

Border Patrol at a Home Depot in Los Angeles days after the 9th circuit affirmed a court order that purports to block this exact behavior. They don't even know who they're chasing! This is insane. Send them all to jail.
@swin24.bsky.social Rolling Stone spells out exactly what you need to know about Ayman Soliman. He’s the guy you want by your side in your darkest hour.
And the government doesn’t just have a weak case. They have no case. ohioimmigrant.org/2025/07/23/r... #FreeAyman
Part of the trump administration’s case in court right now appears to be that the Muslim brotherhood has also done a lot of charity and social programs to build support and show an altruistic side, so don’t be fooled by Ayman Soliman being so nice and generous to Ohioans which…. Boy……
