If they are doing this to white people in broad daylight imagine what they are doing to non-white people in detention facilities.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

This is the giveaway that it has zero to do with criminals. Cops aren't about to stop arresting a serial killer if there was a large crowd booing them and honking. ICE is trying to menace a community. Inflict violence and terror.
Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

It’s hard to accurately describe what is happening in Minneapolis without sounding crazy.
Unmarked rental vans all over the city, with people in military gear and no id jumping out of them to take captive anyone who looks nonwhite or who makes political speech they disagree with.

A nice thing about the internet and urban living is I Googled "Chicago Miniatures Show" without actually knowing if such a thing existed and
1) Of course it does
2) I can sign up for a class at the show to throw a tiny pot on a tiny potter's wheel
There's hope for us yet

"I’ll add right up front that nobody sane now thinks the answer to abuses at Dachau was to give the guards more training."
Excellent piece

The most important thing I've read today.
Into the abyss
The correct response to Dachau was not better training for the guards.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

"Training" as "reform" would just give ICE more money to train its agents to maim and kill people.
Not a penny for ICE.
Claw back the current funding.
Defund and abolish.

I wrote a quick blog post in 2014 titled "police reforms you should always oppose." It went viral and became the basis of a chart created by Critical Resistance to evaluate abolitionist steps. Money for training and body cams were the first two on my list.

A buddy in MN shared a drawing a classmate of his kid made. They've been making thank you notes for parents who have volunteered to carpool them to school so their own parents don't have to risk waiting out by the bus stop.

I'm trying to keep an updated portfolio of games I've made as solo projects over the years. Today I went to update a game I last touched in 2013 to use the newest version of Unity. Had maybe about a dozen errors in the code that I just commented out, but after that...
It ran!
And I could play it!

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
