We are observers, not protestors. We show up to document and film the atrocities ICE is committing. Using 5 year olds as bait. Kidnapping senior citizens. Breaking down doors without warrants. Murdering poets and nurses. Media has all of that information because *observers* were there to document it

Video ABSOLUTELY CONTRADICTS the DHS statement.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

How do you think you’ll feel when the paramilitary drives by your kid’s elementary school in a show of force? I hope you never have to find out.

The surge of DHS agents into Minnesota has done tremendous harm to the people of Minnesota, and I urge those who have personally experienced or directly witnessed that harm to share their stories with my office.

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch.

It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

COMMUNITY ALERT & CALL FOR SUPPORT

Powwow Grounds on Franklin Avenue is now being activated as a community headquarters for ICE patrol observation, rapid response coordination, and community support in South Minneapolis.

Man I really underestimated how bad it’s gotta feel to get verbally abused through a bullhorn by someone with a Minnesota accent

With news of yet another DHS shooting breaking, a reminder that DHS’s initial statements should not be trusted without further verification, given previous post-shooting statements which crumbled under further investigation. In addition, be wary of short context-free video clips shared virally.

Not great that all of the descriptions of someone “impersonating” law enforcement are just descriptions of what law enforcement are currently doing in our streets

They tried lie about an ICE presence. MPD assisted with closing off the area. This is completely wrong.

The website shows a seeker the closest clinics to them, offers information on parental consent laws for minors seeking abortion, and points toward abortion funds that can help pay for care.

people get angry when I criticize democratic leadership for doing basically nothing right now like “jeez what do you expect them to do?”

idk, maybe just go to a protest? hire some community organizers and take some meaningful direct action? boycott congress? lay down on the capitol steps?

every singe arena of inclusion for trans and nonbinary Americans must be defended to the fullest extent.

we cannot cede the ground anywhere or we will lose the faith of our community. Defend healthcare, defend travel, defending housing, sports, jobs, on & on & on.

We will not be erased, anywhere.

For fucks sake. We didn’t lose because of the price of eggs. We lost because Republicans SAID it was the price of eggs. Now they’re dismantling government, stripping rights, starting trade wars and Dems are saying “look at the eggs!” Leaders lead! Stop chasing their bullshit! Focus and fight back!

Maybe I haven’t said this enough on here, but people are so wrong about what climate doom is.

There is only one definition: telling people there is nothing worth fighting for. That we should all lay down and die.

You can spread hope and let that hope compel a righteous anger in people.
