Jacob Frey told ICE agents to get the fuck out of Minneapolis, a hugely popular viral moment, and the media has been browbeating him over it ever since. Trump flipped a guy off and told him fuck you and it’s barely acknowledged.

It always astonishes me that so many people who are aware of American history absolutely do not take seriously the empirical fact that movements actually*change*what is possible during the course of their political activity.Why is the “sensible”position the rejection of this basic,evidentiary fact?
Abolishing ICE is the moderate position, or it’s our job to make it the moderate position.
Abolition was impossible before it was common sense.
Civil rights were impossible before they it became common sense.
Abolishing ICE is possible and that's what we should push for.

Moderate Dems are just never going to get on board with abolish ICE, especially after abolish-coded rhetoric in 2020 mostly failed, and given their consistent conservatism on immigration enforcement. So might as well as at least try to figure out what other pathways are out there.

Here’s the thing: protests in the U.S. this past year have been large and will continue to get larger. But the most important organizing from a social mvmts perspective is the extensive local, in person, and deeply connected organizing around community protection.
Positive thought to end the day:
The amount of organizing & mutual aid happening in Minneapolis right now is NEXT LEVEL.
We will protect our neighbors & get through this as best we can.
We are so much stronger together. And we are SO together right now.
I ❤️ you, MPLS.

I broke the story yesterday that masked ICE agents (not DOJ) were removing items including a personal computer from the home of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good. I have yet to see a single news outlet cover this or an elected official even acknowledge it.
NEW: These are ICE agents removing evidence from the shooter's home. They are not DOJ, they are Jonathan Ross's friends and coworkers, not DOJ.
This agent removing Ross's personal computer was reported yesterday Jan 9 for boxing in a volunteer and telling them "I'll dedicate my next arrest to you"
