I’ve started using the term “ethnic cleansing campaign” to describe the ICE occupation here in Minnesota. This is deliberate because the reality on the ground is that, at a given moment, any non-white person can be kidnapped by masked federal paramilitaries regardless of their constitutional rights.

this tracks with what I've heard from activists in the Boston area. ICE is somehow getting personal information about human rights observers and doing creepy shit like driving to their homes and taking pictures of all sides of the homes.

These peaceful observers I spoke to had ICE show up at their homes in what they see as attempts at intimidation. ICE has somehow been accessing Minnesotans' private data in likely violation of state law, according to privacy advocates.

we talk about Woke 2 a lot but the reason this stuff all came about is that people fucking hated living in a yellow soup that gave them coughing fits, and most people today don't know what that was like, and if it comes back EPA 2 Electric Boogaloo is going to be a doozy
Breaking News: The EPA will stop considering lives saved when setting pollution limits and instead calculate only the cost to businesses.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

This guy is in Minneapolis standing before an American citizen in an SUV.
The only reason he's brandishing an assault rifle is because he wants the people he's purportedly there protecting to feel terrorized by his presence.
This is not protection. This is occupation.
