It seems the rest of the country needs a reminder: there was no fear in the Twin Cities until ICE arrived.
I promise you we will be here long after ICE disappears into the worst corners of history.

I can’t say it any better. Yes, Ton Homan can fuck all the way off.
I'm sorry - who called Renee Good a "fucking bitch"? Who pulled down their pants and exposed themselves at protesters? Who used a BABY to as bait??? Who murdered at unarmed man trying to help up a woman pushed over by agents? Tom Homan can fuck all the way off.

I do not care if they came through legal channels. Tearing apart families is what fascist dictators do and it is as horrific now as it was in 1939, as it was in 1862, as it was in 1619.

Just spreading the word. Nothing has changed. An abuser who is kind when they have to be, when they need something, is still an abuser.
It's no coincidence that on the same day we learned there are *4,000* ICE and CBP agents in Minneapolis rather than the 3,000 we were told, Trump tells Walz he might be willing to reduce the 4,000 slightly.
He's giving up nothing.
And Bovino getting moved out of state is just an "optics" decision.

Read this thread on “symbolic compliance”. Small victories are great, but they are not permission to stand down.
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Minnesota will not surrender. No one has to surrender! Organize and resist.
When a fascist has a weapon that can hurt all those he hates, he's going to use it.
When Trump decides he's hurt Minnesota enough for now, he'll start executing people elsewhere. That's no policy shift—it's making sure fear is equally distributed.
If you're in a blue state, get ready for invasion.

Relocating Bovino is a start, but it’s not the solution.
Minnesota will resist as long as the US federal government insists on stealing our people and executing our citizens.
Ice out of Minnesota.

Last night at the EV charger: white guy freaking out because he felt slighted that he had to wait in line. I left— I’ve go no patience for bullies right now.
Today at the EV charger: lovely Somali man helped me plug in my car.
The problems in the US are rooted in white man entitlement.

The Trump regime is lying to us. The lies are audacious. The lies are calculating. The lies are intentional.
They lie. And they have no remorse.
The lies will continue for as long as they hold power.

Hey mainstream news, this man wasn’t “allegedly shot” and he hasn’t passed on after receiving immediate medical attention. He was executed by the government in public ON CAMERA. Nothing allegedly about it. He was outnumbered but these untrained racist “police” couldn’t restrain him? ICE OUT NOW!

Woke up feeling surly. Long story short, apparently greeting strangers with the requisite “Stay warm” and “Be safe” wasn’t enough. My surly brain organically decided to add things like “Fight for the people” and “Protect others” while running regular errands in these dystopian times.

I am trying to wrap my head around this. Is this real? Did the government take this child across state lines? This really happened?
I know the answer is yes, but I’m still in shock…and I’m not a terrified 5 year old. Holy hell!

Okay.
Liam Ramos is five.
Taken from his father after school.
His family didn’t know where he was for 24 hours.
He’s NOW in a federal detention facility in Texas.
At least one other student is there too.
Two other elementary school students were taken and the school doesn’t know where they are.

The weather here is about to become life threatening. I guarantee this state will still protect its people from ICE and the fascist regime. Talk of the government sending in more soldiers is not the deterrent they think it is. Let ‘em come.

My father — a good cop from a large southern city (he died 15 years ago) — told us stories, the least horrible from the 1960s being his superiors would give a ham to any officer who killed a black man.
Is ICE motivated by bonuses and bounties? Sure fits the history of trading honor for a ham.

Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov , this is the language we’re looking for.
It’s not “peace” if we’re being held in a peaceful state by force and coercion and fear! It’s not “peace” when we’re still under attack. That’s surrender!

ICE must be abolished. It has become a lawless, rogue agency. Federal law enforcement agencies must follow the law, if they're going to have any credibility enforcing it.
We are demanding justice for Renee Good and the prosecution of ICE agent Jonathan Ross for her murder.

It’s not just the St. Paul schools. All across the twin cities we have school districts, businesses, and community groups making plans for the if, when, and how we defend ourselves against the United States government.
And crickets from our state leaders other than “don’t poke the bear”.

We certainly aren’t a Democratic Republic with three co-equal branches of government anymore. And we’re definitely not the UNITED States of America when a President, who appears to have been granted unlimited power, spends as much time attacking Minnesota as he is attacking Venezuela and Greenland.
U.S. Senate Republicans blocked a resolution that would have barred President Trump from further military action in Venezuela without congressional authorization, after the Republican president put pressure on party members who had supported it.

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.
