Minneapolis

Abolish ICE and CBP
Reposted by Cooper Swanson
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.

ICE kidnap 17-year-old U.S. citizen working at Target then dump him bleeding and crying miles away in a Walmart parking lot… 🤬

Republicans cut your healthcare to pay for a federal invasion of Minneapolis.

ICE isn’t making us safer — it’s terrorizing our communities.

This is a nightmare! If you or someone you know is a part of ICE, just quit! You can work at Subway or something and save your soul!
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis

The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway

They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Dear neighbor,

I want to take some time to share 3 different stories regarding racial discrimination perpetuated by ICE in the Phillips area of South Minneapolis.

On January 8th, four unhoused Indigenous men were kidnapped by ICE under a bridge near Little Earth. 1/

ICE rammed into a car at 34th and Park And then began to question the immigration status of U.S. Citizen Latino’s they crashed into.

They also deployed chemical irritants into the eyes of the press. Abolish ICE now.

We've got whistles (and ear plugs) for you and all your friends! We've got bathrooms if you're out observing and need a public restroom! We've got free posters and dirty bumper stickers for free if you want to make sure your minivan doesn't get confused with ICE! Here until 5pm!

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

Not a good time to be driving a black SUV with out of state plates and tinted windows in the Twin Cities metro.

One of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to do, is commission @d20plusmodifier.bsky.social w/ monopoly money in Over/Under to create an office photo memento of me and my Stratemeyer Syndicate Internal Affairs Office coworkers.

Over the course of the month I drew a portrait or 2(hundred) in #over/under and called them 🩸HEADSHOTS🩸

And @sean.tuesdayknightgames.com said he might put them in the Mothership app so now you can all apply gentle pressure to that situation too! lol

My #over/under ended a few weeks ago, really, but my Internal Affairs team just commissioned a team portrait. Ours was a small story in the overall scheme of things, but it's a very nice reminder of a bit of the game that I really liked, and it's nice to have it commemorated in this way.

I paid good monopoly money for this beautiful evil boy and I’m gonna be INSUFFERABLE about it for the rest of time.

Never has so much been used by so few for so little.
You know, it reminds me of medieval cathedrals at this point. Huge edifices that took literal generations to complete, a vast investment of resources: time, materials, money, even lives. All for the glory of god, because people thought (as they always do) they were living in the End Times.
OpenAI’s planned data centers will use more power than New York City & San Diego use at their peak consumption, combined. More power than the entire nations of Switzerland & Portugal combined. And San Altman’s buddies in this administration have been cutting all of our energy infrastructure upgrades

How badly is Minneapolis failing under Jacob Frey's leadership? After a shooting on Lake Street on Sunday at Lake and 15th, there was a mass shooting at a de facto homeless encampment just off Lake St. on Monday morning. Trauma unleashes more trauma, so more shooting was obviously likely...
This is a woman who was living in the encampment to be near her daughter who is living in adult assisted living apartments in the neighborhood, who had all of her possessions and important documents thrown in the garbage by City staff under Jacob Frey's direction. INCREDIBLE CRUELTY
I the neighborhood church's pastor crying today bc she couldn't get the Mayor's office or City to help a woman retrieve all of her immigration paperwork that was thrown out by the city after the shooting.
