This does not look like it happened today, this looks like footage from Saturday. PLEASE DO NOT SPREAD LIES ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE. The truth is bad enough
Video from this morning shows ICE agents deploying tear gas outside a Minneapolis preschool as parents shout, “This is a preschool! There’s kids here!”

I Have A Great Idea For Retraining ICE Agents | Defector

This was a whole lot of words to say absolutely nothing. Let’s end the era where these corporations control politicians.
A letter released Sunday by the leaders of more than 60 Minnesota companies — including the CEOs of Target, General Mills, UnitedHealth Group and 3M — called for local and federal leaders to “come together to foster progress.”
Live: Minnesota's high-profile CEOs break silence, call for ‘immediate deescalation’
The letter marks a notable shift from Minnesota’s top employers, who had previously remained quiet about the surge of immigration officials in the state and the killing of Renee Good.

Thousands more patrolling the streets, delivering groceries, and caring for families.
Faith leaders getting arrested by the dozens in acts of civil disobedience.

lol at the businesses doing handwringing posts about not closing for the strike tomorrow. If your ass is going to stay open, you can at least spare us the "our brewpub is a crucial place for community" platitudes. Just do it and be whisper quiet about it.

Unclear to me if this fucking five year old kid getting kidnapped is breaking through outside of the Twin Cities and I don’t want to speak for anyone else but this has really steeled my resolve. This shit cannot be allowed to stand.

There's a lot going on right now, from the federal occupation by ICE, to elections for public office up and down the ballot. But if you're the kind of person who also cares about the weird nerds who run for party office, I have an announcement - I'm running for CD5 DFL Chair.🧵

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

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.

Do not donate to the DFL. Donate to a GoFundMe for rent or immigration fees, donate to a food shelf — use your dollars to help the community, not the state party apparatus. The DFL isn’t gonna save us from ICE. We are all we have
So friends, I launched a campaign to raise money for the Democratic Party of Minnesota (@dfl.org) to help them combat ICE's lawless assault. MN Dem Party Chair Richard Carlbom joined me for the kickoff. Learn more, donate, and let's rally for the courageous people of Minnesota, together! 👇
