In the past I have rolled my eyes internally at the phrase "we keep us safe" - but that's literally all we have right now as the federal govt executes our neighbors in public, on video, and lies about it. Local and state government appearing powerless to do anything about it.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

i’m a little confused about how “abolish ICE” requires too much explaining to be good politics, but a set of opaque incremental reforms does not.

This is shockingly out of touch, please donate your money to the communities that are being attacked by masked federal agents.
Also, in-person precinct caucuses are a terrible idea, there are immigrant families who haven’t left their houses in weeks.

So friends, I launched a campaign to raise money for the Democratic Party of Minnesota (@dfl.org) to help them combat ICE's lawless assault. MN Dem Party Chair Richard Carlbom joined me for the kickoff. Learn more, donate, and let's rally for the courageous people of Minnesota, together! 👇

"From a practical perspective...they have bigger guns than we do" is the Uvalde defense.
"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.

ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis or we WILL lock up our own citizens
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says 29 people were arrested in downtown last night during a noise demonstration at a hotel reportedly housing ICE agents: "For those that are taking the bait and causing property damage or otherwise, there are consequences. We're holding the line here all the way."

This is a bullshit answer. With very few exceptions the ICE guys do not want to die for this regime. Conceding the law to the imagined threat of violence is asinine. If “your” cops feel this way that’s their problem, too.

For months, people across the city volunteered, organized and talked to their neighbors before endorsing Omar Fateh at the DFL convention.
In the last month, the wealthiest people in the city, led by All of Mpls, have been “working tirelessly” to overturn a democratic vote in a smoke-filled room.
