I'm on the Green Line towards downtown Minneapolis ICE OUT protest.
The train filled immediately. Even 20 stops away from our destination we reached capacity.
People are cheering at every stop when they see people waiting to board because we are all starting to realize how big this is.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.
The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

ICE raids are not the first time this was made explicit. I think people downplay how much Jim Crow was not just about controlling Black people but it was also about controlling white people. If you thought racism was dumb and acted that way you could end up with a bomb in your home
Just keep coming back to the fact that keeping people in a constant state of terror is a form of mass disablement and essential to the eugenic project that is the United States.

And yet for all their obsession, not one journalist has ever come out here to rural Alabama and asked me (or any of the folks in the rural Black counties) about our helplessness at being controlled by the psychopathic white supremacist cult that has Alabama in a political death grip.
I feel pretty misunderstood by people living in rural areas, and yet mysteriously, this isn’t considered a problem.
I’m sick of putting up with this idiotic display of obeisance to chucklefucks simply because they live in rural areas.

Republicans control all 3 branches of government. Even when they don't, both parties pump out constant rhetoric about "real Americans" living in rural areas.
The entire premise of this article is a conservative-fluffing myth. Cities have more political power because that's where most people live!

I would never suggest that anyone do anything unlawful - certainly not right here, in front of God and everybody. So remember the first rules of firearm and internet safety: Treat every gun like it’s loaded… and every poster who calls for crime a cop.

Unfortunately, this is the part where I remind people that Black 10th graders get beat up by cops every day.
This is the part where I remind people about modern civil asset forfeiture, where US police steal more value from people (mostly Black) than every form of theft other than wage theft.

It is in no way “law enforcement” to beat up an American 10th grader and steal and sell his possessions.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.
A citizen.
Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

okay and if you actually gave a flying squirrel about the law and the people you claim to protect, then you’d arrest them and risk getting shot. like. y’all always talk about how cops risk their lives every day,go on, risk your lives then
"The question that you're basically asking is, can our cops arrest them? From a legal perspective, yes. From a practical perspective...they have bigger guns than we do." That's where we're at.

You also heard them setting up their followup -- "If you lie about being born here..."
So, if she said she was born here, the response would be "Well, I don't believe you so we're going to have to detain you to check if you're 'legal'."
If they seem reasonable, that's not a belief. It's a trap.
