so much to cover right now, but a thread i just want to throw out there from my reporting is that the car rental market in minneapolis is reportedly totally screwed up right now because ICE has cleared the inventory. rental companies should have to answer for supplying vehicles used in terror.

I see we’re at the, “C’mon, the Alabama state troopers were really being treated disrespectfully at the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Also, a couple of them got scratches that day,” level of ICE apologetics.

There's a long history of bikes as tools of resistance. And for good reason!
I have a lengthy video of a long chase yesterday, including one maniacal e-bike rider who was absolutely giving the ICE Wagoneers hell. They’d try to lose us in traffic but the bike didn’t care about traffic
It occurs to me that it also depends on how fast ICE can go in that particular neighborhood. Big streets/no traffic would make bikes less useful because they couldn't keep up, but on narrower downtown streets with traffic, an ebike could easily outpace cars.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.

Studded tires are fun. Felt good to putz around town, give thumbs ups to school safety patrol homies, and make it back to my kids school dismissal to hang with the crossing guards.

Lost my voice at whipple yesterday shouting at all the losers, hoping it's back tomorrow to do it again. Stay safe

ICE just confronted us in our car saying it’s our first & final warning. There’s nothing illegal about driving your car safely on Stinson, Lowry, or any street in our community.

They are purposefully surging at school get out times terrorizing our families. Ice needs to stay away from our kids.

Minneapolis City Council President Elliott Payne said he was assaulted by ICE on Central Avenue as he observed an arrest. An agent pushed him from behind, he said.

“This recklessness needs to stop,” he said. bit.ly/4jJcPfC

This proves that ICE knows Renee Good was illegally killed
I swear DHS recruited a bunch of frustrated former high school bullies as ICE agents. And they really had to explain to them that hurt feelings don’t justify brute force.

LEAKED: After the ICE shooting of Renee Good, agents received a mandatory “legal refresher” on civil rights and use of force.

They don’t know who they’re taking because:
-they don’t talk to them
-they’re random pedestrians

It is literally indistinguishable from a kidnapping when you see it, except there are so many of them, and they are more heavily armed and armored than any kidnapper would ever be.

Apparently ICE goons in multi-car caravans are circling Spanish immersion preschools in the city taunting and photographing the parents and neighbors who are patrolling the school perimeter to keep kids safe.

The people of MN give me far more hope than the largely feckless “opposition” leaders of our country or the deeply compromised and ineffectual media both-sidesing white nationalist totalitarianism.

I grew up as a small child watching my grandmother help people in El Salvador and Nicaragua. I admired her so much. My mom just called and said she remembers me standing in the church at her funeral as a teen saying I hoped I could be half the activist that she was, and that I have outdone her 😭😭😭
