happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

It's very hard to read through the testimonies of the prisoners. What is going on is cruel, inhumane and sadistic. There is no way to stop this as far as I can tell until F47 and his entire admin are gone. Then we have much work to do to repair this damage.
Here is a collection of sworn testimonies from detainees being held in ICE custody. Until reading these testimonies, I wasn't fully aware of what is happening. Please read them yourself. We need to know this. We need to understand the consequences of ICE/CBP arrests. assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

Read the entire thread, esp the maps of proposed warehouses for incarcerating those arrested. Too many beds to just be for illegal immigrants waiting to be deported. Stay alert. Evil goings-on all around us. This is us now. A sad way to end this country if we let them.
⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

"In my few days in Minnesota, I’ve been witness to countless scenes that remind me of moments I’ve seen during previous trips covering conflicts around the world," photojournalist @cengizyar.com writes. "The wars we’ve carried out as a nation abroad have come home."

February is a time to honor the generations of Black Americans who fought, and continue to fight, against injustice to achieve equal rights.
May we reflect on our nation’s past as we continue working to build a society that lives up to its democratic ideals.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is 2 or 3 days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

BIG news from @bloomberg.com, which confirms that ICE has gone ahead and *purchased* multiple commercial warehouses with the aim of converting them into mass detention camps.
This is likely to be the big detention story of 2026 — literal warehousing of people.

The charges against Don Lemon are ridiculous. He’s a target because he’s black, because he’s media, and because he’s a Trump critic, and because Trump and his minions cannot accept any dissent. It’s deeply pathetic, unamerican, and lawless.

This thread is frightening. ICE needs to go and DHS with it.
Day after day in Minneapolis, ordinary people have pulled out their phones and documented ICE & Border Patrol's actions, often in the face of threats and tear gas. They showed the world the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. But what happens when the camera is in ICE’s hands? 1/11

This is a great thread that ties our past to our present. A good tead.
Following the Kent State massacre in May 1970, a Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans thought the shootings were justified. The night *before* the killings, Ohio's GOP governor described the student protesters this way: "They're the worst type of people that we harbor in America."
