The actual story is that a family of American citizens trying to evacuate from a neighborhood that ICE had made unsafe, and then ICE tossed munitions into the car, causing three kids to be hospitalized and a six month old to stop breathing. DHS called the family “radical agitators”

This is the most detailed and comprehensive account of the Minneapolis shooting I've seen, and as with past videos, it does more to discredit the government's account than to support it www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Some of the most painful audio I think I've ever heard. If this doesn't radicalize you against ICE, I'm not sure you are a human being.

Because the media does not know how to frame what is happening, they keep referring to regular Minnesotans as protesters. But there is very explicit training that so many people done to learn how to be a constitutional observer. People are bearing witness to kidnappings, with phones and whistles.
by @democraticwins.bsky.social CNN just aired a devastating compilation of all the times ICE brutally attacked Americans. Remember, Donald Trump sponsored this. This is done at his command.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.
If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

As I told a group of historians last week at AHA during a panel about marketing history books: As AI makes the rest of the web decline in trustworthiness, we all have a responsibility to make Wikipedia as good & complete as possible.

ICE is shackling patients who are having medical emergencies to hospital beds. People are afraid to go to hospitals despite having severe healthcare needs. This is INSANE and everyone should know about it.
ICE's "presence is terrifying medical staff and raising concerns about patient care, according to five nurses at HCMC hospital in Minneapolis who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing their jobs."

I hope everyone outside of MPLS/St. Paul knows how distressing the last few weeks have been. From Nick Shirley and imitators harassing minority daycares to broad daylight abductions in our community to armed mercenaries carrying rifles through school zones and Target.
