Making political hay out of this makes you an asshole. A ghoulish one.
If I die under this administration, don’t bother burying me — just dump my body on the White House lawn.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.
"“They specifically asked me if I knew where the Hmong families lived on my street & in the neighborhood.” Lugert-Thom responded, “I don’t know anything about that” & she said they then asked, “Well, what about the Asian families?”"
"“I was a bit shaken & a bit shocked of what I was asked to do.”"

A St. Paul resident says federal officers knocked on her door and asked her to identify Hmong and Asian households in her North End neighborhood last week.

Ok, I've shifted my reporting trip to MSP to next week to catch the couple of days when it will be all the way in the 20s.
Tossing out a call for contacts: I'm looking for folks who are new to activism and who have been pulled into what's happening there in ways they didn't expect. DMs are open.

It seems to me that we are within days, at most, before a citizen shoots an ICE agent, and I am hoping beyond hope that Congress figures out they need to get some fucking stones before that happens.

Massachusetts folks: I'm seeing some panic-inducing posts about the new SUVs at the ICE facility in Burlington. I wanted to share that LUCE believes the vehicles are unlikely to be used locally. That doesn't mean we won't see increased activity, but these vehicles are not an indication of that.

Who in Congress has the guts to invite this man as their State of the Union guest
“I don’t feel as though fate looks upon you often, and when it does, you better be ready to seize the opportunity,” said TJ Sabula, the UAW worker who heckled President Trump and who Trump flipped off and cursed at. “And today I think I did that.”

6 from the Minnesota US Attorney's office quit when they were told instead to investigate her widow.
