To be clear the ICE account on here is to troll for content they can use elsewhere. Exactly what they are doing with their camera crews following ICE around in Minneapolis.
You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

JUST IN: Virginia's legislature just adopted a constitutional amendment that would end Virginia's rules that ban people from voting for life.
Virginia currently is the only state that strips people of voting rights for life for any felony. Youngkin rolled back reforms.
Now going to a referendum.

Virginia Lawmakers Ask Voters to Repeal a Jim Crow-Era Lifetime Ban on Voting - Bolts
Voters will decide this year whether to end Virginia’s uniquely harsh felony disenfranchisement rules. They'll also vote on abortion, gay marriage, and redistricting.

Instead of shopping there, I urge everyone to consider supporting small businesses and family-owned grocery stores in our community instead. Support small businesses who have been devastatingly impacted by immigration enforcement.

Dear neighbor,
It’s become common practice for ICE to stage its operations at the Target parking lot on East Lake Street. While immigration officials tear families apart, Target corporation is silent and makes its workers and customers feel unsafe. 1/

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports.
And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.”
Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

At one point today, there were 283 Minnesota attorneys doing a training on how to file emergency habeas petitions to keep our neighbors from being shipped out of state and held indefinitely.
That would be the second largest law firm in the state. And that training was just put together this week.

It’s worth noting that the children’s mother is not deterred. In fact, she’s activated.
Of course she is. She had to perform CPR on her INFANT. These monstrous displays of violence aren’t going to be the show of force they hoped would cow the people impacted.

I feel this deeply. The last season of SNW was deeply problematic and not in-line with core Trek philosophies.
But I can critique Trek in-part because the Trek airing as I grew up stuck to its values. It urged me to grow, and ultimately gave me the tools I need to apply those critiques properly.

At the local coffee shop this morning, I noticed tons of guidance on the wall on countering ICE. It made me think that places with only corporate coffee shops lose that kind of community support, and that absence is its own form of suppression.

My daughter's school in Richfield, MN (adjacent to Minneapolis) is closing tomorrow due of out-of-control federal agents. Fourth graders spent the week building walls of snow at recess to protect their classmates from ICE. This isn't about immigration enforcement, it's about terror.

Note for people with uteruses:
All tear gas is an abortifacient. Tear gas is known to trigger "tear gas periods" within 24-48 hours after exposure; bleeding may last a long time. These usually feature heavier flow and more severe cramping than normal.

My "What You Need To Know About Tear Gas" thread:
First, tear gas is a particulate, not an actual vapor or gas. In some cases, this means you can get some of the tear gas off your clothes by standing in a stiff breeze or strong fan.
