The Jackson Couple walked so that the Alpha Couple could run (face first into a brick wall, while holding onto each other, but the holding is in a mean way.)

A lot of the suburbs around Minneapolis & St. Paul are getting hit hard, including people just walking and getting snatched off the street.
They also are continuing to be extra aggressive towards observers.

Like Carrie said: NOTHING HAS CHANGED.
I'm a Columbia Heights resident. ICE is still here, terrorizing, breaking laws, harassing people, causing chaos. Tell your family and friends. No matter what this administration's minions report: Nothing Has Changed.

Still laughing at a call a while ago to check on a group at a local food establishment followed by “just a group of white gay men getting pizza.”
A group of local men are tackling the male loneliness epidemic by coming together to brainstorm ways to stop being mistaken for ICE.

Gonna be honest, it did feel a bit like I had been going crazy, especially since even before any of these revelations, a lot of career transphobes were quite openly pedophilic, Germaine Greer self-described as a pederast "like all women of taste", and yet nobody seemed to see the red flags.
You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Here’s an iPlayer capture where the US broadcast didn’t mute the boo’s.

The US broadcaster is scrambling all over the internet to do DMCA takedowns of the reality of the moment.

Amazing. If a professional wrestling crowd is chanting "fuck ICE," it suggests to me that large swaths of the culture are not just upset over ICE tactics, they're coalescing against mass deportations as a broader ideological project.

Bowser used to howl me awake between 4&5 so that she could pee (or so I could tuck her back in to her heated blanket after she peed on a pee pad). I would tuck her in, give her some pets and smooches, and then go back to sleep. My brain hates me so I’ve woken up all week, stuck awake and sad.

Everything you’re hearing from the Trump administration is a lie. Today was one of the most active days in Northeast since the entire Operation Metro Surge began.

Nothing is changing on the ground in Minneapolis, no matter what headlines Trump and Homan try to create.

I am accepting this challenge and raising $1200 for one Minneapolis family to cover their overdue rent today. Venmo me at nkkritzer and I will send the money to that family once it's raised. I believe in us.

HELP A MINNEAPOLIS FAMILY!!
I'm boosting up a lot of requests today, because folks are taking on one or two fundraisers individually to share labor and financial stuff so we don't end up in a situation where people are getting banned from venmo etc. Because that sucks. Ask me how I know.
New mutual aid request!
This time it’s a Mpls family of six (incl an infant) facing extreme hardship.

Right now they need $3,000 for housing, food, and health expenses. We’d love to get there by Monday—can you pitch in?

Excess funds will be passed on to another mutual aid fund.

This moment in time will leave unfathomably deep scars for Twin Cities children.

My son's 5th grade class can no longer play on their playground during recess, because the school knows that a large number of those kids could get snatched at any time. Fully "legal" children.
They see school patrols walking to keep their friends from being kidnapped. They see teachers linking arms to guard the doors. They see a federal government who is basically telling them to drop dead. The kids of Minneapolis and St Paul are traumatized.
The kids are suffering. There's no way to shield them from what's happening here. Everyone is affected. They hear about families in hiding. They read "ICE kidnapped someone here" and "Fuck ICE" when we're in the car. They see us shopping for others. They hear the whistles. They are afraid.

This is superb. Ian McKellen delivers a blistering pro-immigration monologue written by Shakespeare, that makes you want to punch the air with exhilaration. Wow, wow, wow.

An absolute must-watch. (Starts at 20:10 but the entire interview is a joy.) youtu.be/2l2RqzVG4ag

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

Kiddies who made it out of the ICE dungeon report sighting a schoolmate. Before this, the school district had no information on their whereabouts. The family has now been connected with a lawyer.

Youngsters who escape a govt dungeon are the only way to track abducted children? This is fine!
The two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.

I am doing poorly. Grief is apparently the tipping point on my mental health lol. Food is impossible and I don’t have money to order. Focus is hard. My body feels heavy. I can’t afford to not work so I’m using everything I’ve got to work.
