National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

🚨BREAKING: Combat veteran William Kelly, aka Da Woke Farmer, was arrested by Trump's DOJ today for participating in an ICE church protest. Days ago, he told us: "The Republic has already fallen, no one is coming to save us, I'm seeing the exact parallels of 1939 Nazi Germany" ⬇️

It's hard to vet people on the fly but skepticism goes a long way.
In a case like this: Ask for a name & phone number & say you'll pass it along. That's IT.

Affected communities and people with health conditions deserve accurate information. It is good and necessary to correct one another about these things:
My group was able to recover a spent canister from a green smoke grenade in Minneapolis. We now confirm with physical evidence that it was a green signaling grenade.
Please don't spread rumors about hexachloroethane or nerve agents.

So the House is going to vote TOMORROW on the DHS funding bill that includes funding for ICE.
There's a real chance we can get Dems to vote NO on any bill with ICE funding to sink it.
Once it goes to the Senate we likely lose this chance.
24 hours. Go.
