"Who's city is it Chief?
Bovino: "It's our fucking city."
And that, in a nutshell, is the problem. It is not a democracy when men with guns and uniforms believe they have more control over a city than its residents.
ICE agents were the ones with the guns. They are the ones masked up, armed up, and shooting people.
Seriously though, if you have people in Minnesota they are probably not okay. Cut them all the slack. Send them pizza and brownies (actually donate to rent relief funds).
(I feel like we're all doing a great job at cutting each other slack for the most part to the point it's kind of heartwarming.)
Nothing. Has. Changed.
the reason DHS officers wear masks is because it allows them to commit crimes with impunity. there is literally no legitimate reason for it.
south minneapolis residents set up their own traffic calming makeshift roundabout, building a campfire to keep warm as they guarded the intersection “ICE GO HOME” written on a sign nearby
Another witness to Anderson Cooper: “Now is not the time to stay silent. We all need to be a little bit brave, and do what we can to stand up for our rights.”
“in theater” is a crazy way to describe minneapolis
Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
Stay free
Yes - until you see it firsthand, it’s hard to understand how upsetting and enraging it is to see these guys operate in your community. They are dressed for war, they beat civilians up, they openly antagonize neighbors, they’re masked, they carry people away. Everyone is livid at every scene.
ICE activity has not noticeably tapered off yet here and in fact this week they seem to be focused on terrorizing kids at bus stops and schools.
GEORGIA — @ossoff.senate.gov : “This is a SEISMIC event. This should have people across 🇺🇸 absolutely shook. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County elections office… this is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections.” (H/T @atrupar.com )
Signs stacked high behind our counter.
We carried in 1000 more anti-ICE signs late last night.
Welcome to Minnesota, Tom Homan. We hope you see these signs everywhere you go. #AbolishICE
🚨PLEASE SHARE ‼️ Jayden Scott and unknown accomplices have found where I live and posted a video online outside of my door. I have my apartment management and local police involved. I will obviously have to move so the more people that are aware of this situation the better.
please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota.
people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.
just saw 4 ice agents go up to a house and knock and within 1 minute there were 30 people out whistling and they left. we will not take our foot off the gas
Kristi Noem: "Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen"
Golden valley PD confirmed there are federal vehicles in the church parking lot. Unclear what they are doing or what their goal is. Neighboring school activated their Stay Indoors policy to keep students inside.
ICE is terrorizing schoolchildren in the Twin Cities again today
This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.
The people at @msnownews.bsky.social helped me make a video about how unpopular what ice is doing is
Trump’s line is that disrespect to law enforcement is punishable by death. Impeach and remove. This is not tolerable.
ICE agent screaming a threat: "Did you not learn from what just happened?"

ICE wears masks as policy because if they didn't, we would know how many Proud Boys, 3%ers, Patriot Prayer, and J6ers are on our streets terrorizing our cities again, except this time they're personally protected by Trump.
ICE activity in increasing across Minnesota. We are seeing many people indiscriminately questioned, harassed, and detained. We are seeing an increased level of militarized tactics from agents, including brandishing weapons, harassing and threatening observers, and worse.
Ice has a legit warrant for the action on Maryland Avenue in St. Paul.
Leave the area. Document sppd action and fight like hell for them not to participate in future federal activities.
Today, we remember and honor our trans siblings lost to violence.
We lift up their legacies by continuing the work to stem the tides of hatred, and create a world in which all trans people can survive and thrive.
On a dynamic gradient background of pink, blue and white, blue and white text reads, “Transgender Day Of Remembrance.” The HRC logo appears alongside two images of blue and pink forget-me-nots.
On #TransDayOfRemembrance, we honor our trans siblings lost to fatal violence and their impact.
We will not stop fighting until trans people are not just able to survive, but thrive and live safe, full, and joyful lives. May our collective grief, reflection, and action lead to a better future.
This is a good thread because it goes beyond "get a lawyer" and into "here's the sort of lawyer you need and how to find them."
