I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.
He was bundled into the van & taken away.
Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”
I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.

Last month, Anas al-Sharif sounded the alarm on starvation in Gaza. Israel accused him of terrorism.
"We warned this felt like a precursor to justify assassination," said Jodie Ginsberg of the Committee to Protect Journalists.
Today he was killed in a targeted strike on a tent housing reporters.
