It's hard to overstate how ell-organized the portland march that got gassed was... organizers made the crowd promise to be peaceful, said the march would slow in front of the ICE building but not stop, that we would stick to one chant (ICE Out). They did absolutely everything right and got gassed.

I rode a few alley cat races in Minneapolis and can confirm that the bike whackos have eldritch-level ability to move through the streets
Honestly the longer ICE stays here the more advantage we gain. They have to be gone by spring. If the bike whackos get a shot at patrol it’s OVER.

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

It’s day 60 of the ICE occupation of MSP.
We are approaching two months under occupation, and our resolve is stronger than ever.
Friends in other cities- start organizing now. Talk to five friends, neighbors, or parents at your kid’s school, and start building your network to resist ICE.
