I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.
Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.
Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Descendant of a Japanese American WW2 Incarceree here to say it's never about "innocent" or "guilty" it's about who is a target for the state. Those in power will make you guilty/illegal if they want you to be and we must all see thru the bullshit. Free them ALL

Talked to DePaul students today about their relationship to time, and asked if they ever interact with their future selves. One student said that the future is too terrifying and so they cope by just trying to live thru the present ಥ_ಥ deeply relatable, deeply distressing. Free our futures ‼️
