Appears two officers have been shot over by Lloyd Center w/ shooter at large and massive LO perimeter.
Whatever this is, or isn’t - it’s going to be a pretext for a show of force that will disproportionately be focused on our immigrant and minority communities.
Extreme community care is critical.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.
The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

My dad always spray painted all of his tools pink because he figured insecure men would be less likely to steal them. And when anyone tried to mock him for it, he’d laugh in their face & tell them that he’s never had any of his tools go missing at home or at work

/2 In light of that, I am in awe and deep respect of the people who are still showing up to monitor the ICE Gestapo, protect and defend their neighbors, do whatever they can to hold ICE to account and call out their lawlessness. What incredible bravery.

States, cities, and towns need to make a plan for what to do in the event the ICE death squads start shooting people in their communities.
Hell, maybe even neighborhood level action planning.
This would be in addition to planning ahead for them showing up at all.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.
