You know, I don't love hearing a reporter talk about "no violence yet" when the federal government just shot someone, then tear gassed everyone and continues to tear gas everyone.

Ivan, a long-time UFCW Local 663 grocery worker from Jerry's Foods in Edina, was abducted by ICE as he was walking into work. We are raising $ for legal counsel and other expenses for his family as they deal with this travesty.

Every day, maybe every hour, somebody somewhere in Minnesota asks "Wait how is that legal?" and then it is explained to them that we are so far beyond that being a relevant question.

A lot of non-Minnesotans are asking how they can help people in the Twin Cities. Here's a very easy way that will cost you absolutely nothing.
Do not vent in the replies to videos or other posts from Minnesotans.
We're all on edge, and your rageposting and doomposting isn't what we need right now.

a little off topic but antis love to talk about the kind violence they’d enact on escorts/clinic workers/abortion patients/companions if they weren’t believers
some of these guys feel that they're showing remarkable restraint by passing up murders they're entitled to commit

Stop funding them. What possible reason could there be for continuing to fund a lawless, vicious, racist department that has made its utter contempt for the American people clear as day? Defund DHS, abolish ICE, and imprison Kristi Noem for her crimes.
Members of Congress have a clear, spelled out legal right under the existing DHS funding bill to be allowed into these facilities without this notice.
So if Congress is going to keep funding DHS, there must be meaningful restraints to rein in this brazen lawlessness.

there’s really no reason to think anyone who supported anything short of abolishing ice the past ten years isn’t going to go straight back to We Just Need Better Training when a dem is in office again. better to make that politically untenable before the campaigns even officially start
