American Indian Movement (AIM) patrol trucks have been spotted around NE and folks are flagging them as suspicious and giving them unwelcoming glances because they don’t know who they are. This is the AIM logo and flag, which you might see on their trucks. They are friends!

damn -- CNN put together a video of Kristi Noem claiming ICE officers are "highly trained and skilled" and "gifted" alongside to a clip of them beating someone nearly to death in Minneapolis

It’s absolutely crazy that multiple people have asked me for help because they think I am some sort of authority in establishing an anti-ICE parent patrol at their kid’s preschool. This is not a fucking type of knowledge that should exist. But if you need this help, reach out, I guess.

2,000 detentions so far from their surge in Minnesota, DHS says

Some of that is citizens beaten & held for 8 or 12 hours & then released

And some is tearing families from each other indefinitely

I will campaign for the politician, whoever they are, who says "Dismantle DHS & REUNITE EVERY FAMILY"
A mother in our neighborhood was taken on Sunday. Her oldest is 15. The family couldn’t find her in the system until last night. She’s being held in a camp in Texas.

She had status that was arbitrarily taken away. Doing things “the right way.”

This 15yo is still going to school all week.

So she had a pulse. That’s what the doctor on the scene wanted to check. She wasn’t breathing, but she had a pulse. He could have started CPR right away.

Instead ICE barred the doctor from attending her and waited 15 mins for EMT to get to her.

The 6-month-old that DHS is tweeting about here lived in the neighborhood and the baby’s father was just trying to evacuate his family after federal agents had shot someone.

Because the media does not know how to frame what is happening, they keep referring to regular Minnesotans as protesters. But there is very explicit training that so many people done to learn how to be a constitutional observer. People are bearing witness to kidnappings, with phones and whistles.
by @democraticwins.bsky.social CNN just aired a devastating compilation of all the times ICE brutally attacked Americans. Remember, Donald Trump sponsored this. This is done at his command.

Aliya Rahman told ICE she was disabled

She told them she was on her way to a doctor appt

They broke her window, cut her seatbelt & dragged her away like an animal

She was headed to the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when they grabbed her.

She was denied access to a doctor & tossed in detention

If you are running a company and you have 100 interfaith clergy invading your headquarters to demand a meeting over a moral issue, your profits better be really fucking high. Now to log on and see how Target is doing.

“Hey! I'm so glad you reached out. I'm actually at capacity / helping someone else who's in crisis / dealing with some personal stuff right now, and I don't think I can hold appropriate space for you. Could we connect [later date or time] instead / Do you have someone else you could reach out to?”

It’s been crazy and so much has changed so quickly. I’ve made so many new friends and met so many neighbors, but it’s also shown how wonderful the friends I already had are. Friends helping with everything: printing whistles, helping patrol at my kids’ schools, donating coffee for volunteers. Damn.

Dan T is the real deal. Read this.
What is happening in Minneapolis is a fascist shitshow, writes Dave Zirin, but there is also mass grassroots resistance. The latter story should be told and celebrated, too.

the wildest thing is right-wingers acting like minnesotans in videos must be outside agitators when we can all hear their accents. i don't think i could do that accent convincingly if i spent a year practicing. and neither would i wish to. have you heard that shit? craziest american accent

🚨 BREAKING: MN clergy have successfully secured a meeting with Target CEO Brian Cornell!

🔊 We’re glad Cornell agreed to meet. But real leadership means action. We’ll keep organizing until Target uses its power to protect its workers, its customers, and communities across our state.

This is why I keep sharing “This is Minneapolis” snippets.

People want to know what’s happening. The severity of the impact isn’t getting to many folks via traditional media.

I highly recommend being ready w/ links for folks to donate & help after you story dump (IME that’s their next question).
Early this week I apologized in a chat as the only Minnesotan for spamming (ha ha, reference) with our latest news seemingly every 45 minutes, and it was deeply validating to be told straight up "No, please keep us updated. We know the news isn't telling the full story. We need to know the truth."
