I am a feminist, a writer, a mother, and a LGBTQIA ally. I believe that Black Lives Matter, that we should welcome the immigrant and refugee, and that protest is patriotic. I am a proud and lucky Minnesotan. Left-handed middle child. #resist

These ICE agents are, clearly, lawless sociopaths—being enabled by a phalanx of congenital liars in the Trump administration.

It makes us powerful.
An interesting quirk about Minnesotans is we're not afraid to die.
Every city they have terrorized has fought back in its own way. LA had protests and cell videos. DC had annoyed feds and grand-jury no-bills. Chicago had priests. Charlotte had angry grandma scaring feds off her lawn. The Twin Cities are showing sheer, dedicated, relentless presence.

In front of Glam Donuts, a popular Saturday morning spot for families.

ICE are sick sociopaths. All of them, lead by their narcissistic leader and blinded by propaganda.
There is video circulating on social media of a group of ICE agents beating a man near 26th and Nicollet in south Minneapolis, then one of the ICE agents shoots the man while he's on the ground numerous times. A witness can be heard yelling that the victim is dead.

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.

That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.

Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.

The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.
Breaking news: The Justice Department has issued subpoenas for Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as part of an investigation alleging that they are impeding federal law enforcement officers’ abilities to do their jobs in the state.

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.

You could be next.

Two blocks from where my kiddo works. It’ll get close to your home, too.
Near Lyndale and 24th Ave in Minneapolis tonight, feds have reportedly shot another person.

Preliminary info is shaky for now, hearing two people injured.

BORTAC just rolled up in an armored vehicle. A crowd is gathering outside the police tape—MPD presence as well.

FYI: Judge Ellis (Chicago ICE case) noted in November that video evidence shows ICE "brake-checked other motorists in an attempt to force accidents that agents could then use as justifications for deploying force."

Yes, this says it all.
Yes, that does say it all.

There are helicopters overhead and Hollyhock keeps reminding me that we're out of calming treats so this is a very scary time for her specifically

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

And her poetry. Poets observe the little thing, and the big things. Her death is our loss.

It'll be easy to boycott these places. I do all my shopping at a local co-op and Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis.
What do these companies have in common?

-Cigna
-Comcast
-General Mills
-Allstate
-Marriott
-Hilton
-Walmart
-Amazon
-Microsoft
-Meta

All promised after January 6, 2021 to stop funding lawmakers who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

And all have broken that promise.

My husband refuses to talk about trump and death. Both topics are too depressing and stressful. I get it.

Walz is out, Klobuchar is in. Walz was great for Minnesota, but the headwinds against his win were too strong.

This week I'm going to New York City. Not Florida. Not Texas.

On other words, I'm not (ever) going to Texas or Florida, but this week, I am spending my hard-earned dollars in New York City. Because my little boycott matters to me.

Mockler: He said he grabbed women because they let him do it. You heard that clip, right? Abuse of power dynamics. Now that he's in office, he's abusing these same power dynamics to cover up the files, delay the releases, redact.

ICE pepper-sprayed this 1-year-old girl.

Once at the hospital, the doctor had to call in a poison control specialist.

They had never seen anyone that young pepper sprayed.

Another horrific story.

More details below.

He commits crimes against humanity to stop “drug traffickers” while pardoning a notorious drug trafficker.

He attacks veterans while committing treason.

Make it stop.
